Welcome to the review of another Clam-shell phone the ''PHILIPS 330''
before we start remember that this is the most stylish phone that you can get at the price range.
this phone has all glossy and cool exterior cover plates which are located at the front and the back of this phone, style wise or by looks the phone is cool, the sides are silver, this phone has been produced in several colours plate like red, dark blue and silver colour and remember that these plates cannot be removed. the exterior leaves behind the mark of the finger and as a result needs constant wiping,
the front cover has a loud speaker, service indicator can be found at the upper part of the handset and has blinking different colours while receiving calls, there is one more service light along the side of the phone and is blinking white.
place for the strap can be found at the top of the phone while the system connector is there at the bottom, and the volume key on the left hand side of the handset.
the handset when looked upon from the exterior looks chic and cool and one would hesitate in relating this phone to the lower rung as it looks very cool but please do not open the handset in front of anyone as it put to shame whatever that has been said above of its exterior beauty.
OK so lets open the phone and you are disappointed the keys are combo of silver plastic, the keys are small and are placed deep into the phone which gives rise to the discomfort level, the keys have white back-light and let me tell you that the light is dim so all the keys are not illuminated evenly :(
another shortcoming is the mirror rim around the screen which is a cosmetic solution but once again leaves a the mark of the fingerprints so be ready to wipe it after every call.
this phone has a graphical display with white back-light fonts on the screen are good enough to be read by everyone.
Battery:
on the back of the phone we will find the battery which is A lithium-ion battery of 600 mAh according to the manual the phone has 400 hrs of standby time and 4.5 hrs of talktime.in reality its going to last not more than 2 days of average use, it takes 2 hrs for completely recharging

Email:

ADVANTAGES
1) 16 tones polyphony which is very pleasant to hear
2)vibra is good enough more than the average
3)good volume of the loudspeaker
4)voice quality is pretty high
5) when you remove the battery the last date and time are saved.
DISADVANTAGES
1) complicated navigation menu
2)the ergonomics on the interior is very unpleasent
3) back light is not sufficient for the keys
AS I SAID BEFORE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS THE MOST STYLISH CLAM SHELL PHONE OF THE LOWER RUNG AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTING MUCH FROM IT AND WHATEVER GIVEN IN THIS PHONE ACCORDING TO ITS RANGE IS COOL SO ENJOY
