Mobile phones have grown from just talking devices to multipurpose devices that we rely on in our daily lives. Located on the outside are the 128 x 160 secondary display, 1.3 megapixel camera, volume rocker, push-to-talk (PTT) button, charger slot, and 2.5mm headphone jack.All of the regular information, signal strength, time, data, battery life, and carrier, is found at the top bar of the home screen. Options, menu and music are all found at the bottom and accessed by the left and right soft touch key and the center button.
In case a grid isn’t in your taste, you have the option to change it to a grid with details or a tabbed view. The organizer consists of the following: alarm clock, calendar, to-do list, notes, calculator, timer, stopwatch, converter, and world clock. The alarm clock is a pretty basic one and only allows you to add one alarm. The calculator offers some scientific functions which are rare to see on phones within its class.
Messaging can be done by SMS, MMS, email, and audio messages. There are plenty of emails clients already preloaded, Yahoo! Mail, AOL, AIM, Windows Live Mail, AT&T Yahoo!, BellSouth, Comcast, Earthlink, Juno, Mindspring, and NetZero, with the 6555 to help get you on and check your email. For us, we were able to view sites as www.phonearena.com and www.youtube.com in WAP but when checking out www.myspace.com, the browser refused.
A 1.3 megapixel camera is supplied here and while it’s and entry level device, photo quality was adequate, and some of them came out very nice for the resolution, just don’t expect marvelous results. The display shows you the number of picture that can be taken, mode, resolution, zoom level and quality. What handset nowadays would be complete without even a basic media player? On the lowest volume, it still manages to be very loud so if you’re in a crowded place, make sure to grab some headphones.
