Dual SIM Quad-Band Cell Phone i5 – Solid, Portable and Easy-to-use

With a simple design and user-friendly controls, the i5 is a quad-band phone boasting two SIM card slots for dual standby mode. The phone focuses on basic communications, but also offers a set of functional features like a camera, Bluetooth support and web browsing.

To begin with, the i5 has a minimalist candy-bar form factor that measures 108.5 by 47.5 by 14.2 millimeters (H x W x D). And at only 60g, you might even forget it is in your pocket or bag. Despite of its compactness, the phone features a 1.8" full-color screen and an easy-to-press numeric keypad.

On the bottom spine, you will find a mini-USB port that accommodates both the included charging/syncing cable and handsfree headset. There is another charging port next to the mini-USB one, which lets you use a Nokia TC-1 travel charger or CC-1 car charger (not included) to juice up your handset.

The most notable feature of the i5 is its dual-SIM capability, as it allows you to make and receive calls from two different phone numbers. That way, you can always keep your work and personal lives separated. And as an unlocked phone, it can be used with any GSM carrier you like.

To help make your life easier, the i5 offers a solid set of useful tools, including Alarm, Calendar, To-do list, World clock, Calculator, Currency Converter, Stopwatch and E-Book Reader. More advanced users will appreciate the inclusion of text and multimedia messaging, Bluetooth, WAP web browsing and speakerphone. The phone book holds up to 500 contacts, with room in each entry for phone numbers, company name, e-mail address, birthday, associate sound and more.

In addition, the i5 packs a number of multimedia offerings. You can snap photos and capture videos using the built-in 3.0-megapixel digital camera. The phone also sports a music player that supports background play, allowing you to perform other tasks while enjoying your favorite tunes. Apart from these, you also get a video player, an image viewer, an FM radio, a sound recorder, a melody composer and some games. The i5 comes with a microSD card slot that accepts cards up to 16GB, which means you can store as many media files as you want.

With no fancy bells or whistles, the i5 gives priority to its usability and functionality. It would be a great option for pragmatic users who want a solid entry-level phone with a very affordable price.
