Telstra Zte F165 Next G Country Phone
The Telstra F165 country phone is the king of reception
. Telstra has awarded this ruggarised handset the blue tick meaning it will give superior performance in rural areas. The F165 also scores points for being very easy to use. The keypad is made up of very large keys and the screen is clear and easy to read. Menus are simple and easy to navigate, with a very intuitive feel.
Although ideal for users requiring top coverage performance in a durable case, the size of the F165 can be a blessing and a curse. You need a pouch or leather case to carry the F165 around.
Features
The antenna has not only an inch high raised knob on top of the handset, but also an extension to bring out your antenna even further. There is a port to connect an Next G external antenna to further improve reception.
Text messaging is easy with the large keypad and T9 predictive text. The F165 supports e-mails either using your BigPond e-mail address or alternative e-mail using POP3 or SMTP protocols. The 2-megapixel camera takes reasonably good pictures and again is easy to use. Memory can be increased with a memory card up to 2GB.
The F165 is a quad-band handset with HSDPA. Music can be imported from your PC using the supplied software and USB cable. The F165 supports Bluetooth 1.2.
Performance
Quoted battery life is three to four hours talk time and 10 days standby on the Next G network. This is probably stating the obvious for rural mobile users, but a car-charger seems a necessary purchase to be sure you always have a full charge.
Overall
It is good to see a phone that is a phone first and a media accessory second. The large keypad and ease of use nature of the country phone should be a blessing for people who work outdoors and require sturdy handsets, and for first time mobile phone users and older people who want an easy to use mobile phone without the complication of a handset with all the bells and whistles of other handsets.
