NEC L1 Review

NEC L1 is the model number for the handset in Asian market, which the handset is called e949 in Europe. While looking at the product show in Asia, you will see the model number of L1 seems to be more appropriate, as they simply made up the word “L” and “1″ with 2 handsets, which fully illustrated how thin the phone is. The phone is as thin as 11.9mm, even 2mm thinner than the Motorola V3. Apart from the dimensions, NEC L1 has also abandoned the scoop-like speaker. With revolve antenna for phone, metallic black colored design and OLED display for date/time or caller display, it’s easy to get seduced not just by its thickness.

On the software side, the L1 offers support for Java MIDP 2.0 along with a WAP 2.0 microbrowser, PIM suite, calculator and currency converter. Also, the L1 is equipped with 64-tone polyphonic ringtones, claiming a battery life of up to 100 hours of standby time and up to 140 minutes of talk time; apparently the price one pays for slim.

Review By Mobileburn

This 11.9mm thin phone is the thinnest 2.5G clamshell phone in the world today, and it gained the most attention of all the devices in NEC’s booth this year. It is a triband GSM (900/1800/1900hz) handset with Bluetooth, and should be introduced in Europe soon. It is already available here in Hong Kong.
