The Qtek 8500 comes in two colours;
either black all over, or a third black and two thirds bright, bright pink.The
phone is being marketed in part as a music player, and there are controls on
the front that allow you to manage tunes being played back through the Windows
Media Player without opening the flip. The 128 x 128 pixel, 1.2-inch
front screen provides some information about what is being played. The
front screen has some other functions, such as showing photos of incoming
callers if you have saved these in the handset.But if you want to carry a lot
of tunes around you will need to add to the internal memory with microSD cards.
There is a slot under the SIM card for these. You may also need to consider the
fact that when we ran a continuous music playback test - with Bluetooth turned
off - we got just four hours out of the battery.
This is the last ever phone from QTEK. There will be no
more. However, all is not lost, they’ve just changed their names. QTEK were
bought out as a going concern by the very company that supplied them with the
phones that they sold. To understand more, the Taiwanese company HTC corp.
manufactures phones and PDA’s for other companies around the
globe to badge and brand as their own – T-Mobile and Cingular in the USA , O2 and Orange
in Europe carry HTC branded products.
lso on the front is the 1.3MP camera and a pair of very
bright and slightly annoying LED’s to show Bluetooth and network status. I
really don’t need these. I know the Bluetooth is on: I turned it on… and why
would I need to know if I’m in network range or not… What exactly could I do
with that information? Call people to let them know I’m out of range?
Manufacturers note: don’t need flashing lights, thanks.
