The Neo 808i should come with a warning – for small people or children only. The tiny buttons make it impossible for anyone with adult-sized hands to be able to use this gadget – unless of course they have long fingernails – which almost entirely rules out male users, in particular business users who need to use their phone quickly and efficiently.
The onscreen, colour icons are cartoon-like and the ring tone choice is gimmicky, another plus for the playground. In its defence, however, the Neo 808i is easy to use once the user gets familiar to the small keys. For simple tasks such as texting, making and receiving calls, changing the ringtone and locking the keypad, the phone is simple to operate.
As a present for a teenager this phone is ideal but for the business user it is far from appropriate. The size of the handset – the very reason people might buy the phone – is actually its downfall. The keys and the screen are too small and the cartoon-style ring tones, icons and neck sock make it impossible to be taken seriously in an office environment.
Cost of the phone is between 7900 – 9200 INR
