Bookmark topic
The NEC E101 is a compact, tri-band GSM phone available exclusively on the O2 network operating in the UK, Ireland and Germany. In specification terms the NEC E101 is nothing special (although more of this in a moment), but what is interesting is that the E101 is a rare NEC GSM handset in Europe, which until now has mostly been 3G plus a few i-mode devices.
This is a compact clamshell, weighing just 80 grams and measuring 84x45x24mm. Specifications are pretty average, with a 128x160 pixel display in 65,000 colours, external monochrome display with 96x64 pixels, a VGA resolution camera with 4X digital zoom next to the battery, Java for games, 16 chord polyphonic ringtones, GPRS (class 10), a WAP 2.0 browser, MMS and predictive text messaging. The E101 has 1.5Mb of internal memory and a maximum talktime of just over 3 hours with 8 days standby.
It's a competent package rather than an exciting one, and the main selling point from a features point of view is the light weight - this isn't a bad handset at all for something that just weighs 80 grams.
The second selling point for the NEC E101 is that it's aimed at the O2 Pay-As-You-Go market, and offers full access to the O2 Active service, competing primarily with the Samsung E600 and O2 X2, so we'd expect it to come in at around £180/€280, and it should be available from November 2004.
