Audiovox Pocket Pc Tri Band Phone PPC 4100

Audiovox PPC4100 is a Pocket PC phone and due to this fact looks more like a PDA. Only the stubby antenna on the top-right edge of the device and the small Talk/End buttons below the roomy LCD clue you in to the PPC4100’s phone capabilities. Measuring 4.3 by 2.7 by 0.9 inches and weighing 5.6 ounces, the 4100 is in reality moderately smaller than the Treo 600. Still, this form factor takes some getting used to, and many folks may find the PPC4100 too big to use as their primary phone. The construction is solid, but Whilst we appreciate the user-replaceable battery, it sticks out from the back of the device and adds unwanted bulk.

Unlike the Treo, the Audiovox PPC4100 has no integrated keyboard, but the gorgeous 3.5-inch, 65,000-color screen takes benefit of the extra real estate. The 240×320-pixel QVGA display boasts deep, vibrant colors; with Internet Explorer, images looked crisp and detailed all the way through our travels. And Whilst we don’t have any complaints with the well-sized screen, we would have liked the added functionality of a snap-on keyboard such as the one included with the h6315

Audiovox clearly went for simplicity when designing the 4100’s controls. Whilst the Talk and End buttons are placed just below the display, there are no shortcut keys for, say, your contacts or your message in-box. Along the left side of the device is a Hold slider, a volume up/down regulate, and a small, three-way jog dial that stands in for a navigational keypad; depressing the dial is equivalent to pressing a Make a selection key. Whilst we’re big fans of dedicated volume controls on PDA/phone combos, this particular regulate sits right at thumb level, periodically causing us to nudge the regulate unintentionally. The top of the device houses the antenna (which cleverly holds the stylus), a 2.5mm headset jack with a rubber cover, an IR port, and an SD/MMC slot. Also included in the box is a USB docking cradle, an AC adapter, a carrying case, and earbud and stereo headsets.
