Vodafone VF830 deals & review

In a generation where communication is just a touch of a button, mobile phones are more of a necessity than a luxury. But what really make a handset appealing to users are the features and specifications it provides its users. When it comes to mobile devices that are affordable and feature packed the best bet that users have is the Vodafone VF830.

An added bonus to the phone is that it is considered to be user friendly, which lets user navigate through the options of the phone without any difficulty.

Look

The Vodafone VF830 is said to be a combination of two mobile phone companies’ signature appearance. First of all, the screen of the device which is a 2.4 inch display is reminiscent of Nokia’s mobile phones. The keys and buttons below the screen also add to the overall effect or appearance.

Once the slide out keypad is revealed, the device brings to memory the Motorola RAZR keypad of brushed steel. What’s good with this standard numerical keypad is that it appears to be very solid and responsive.

Although the phone’s appearance seems to be tailored after two mobile phones’ form, the overall effect on the exterior is a sleek and stylish look to the device.

Data

Since most users go for mobile phones that can access the internet, manufacturers of this phone decided to integrate into it the 3G HSDPA. Through this technology, users can surf the web, download files, as well as update their status on their social networking accounts at a faster rate.

Apart from HSDPA, the phone also supports 3G video calling. This is made possible through the secondary camera placed in front of the phone, just above the screen of the device. While the video calling capability of the device may be standard now to most mobile phones and does not gain much appreciation from the users, the Google Maps application is noteworthy. Gone are the days when users would go on and on and drive aimlessly for hours just trying to find a location.

Data transfer is probably one of the most important features in a mobile device and users would find the Bluetooth, microSD and USB features of this phone very helpful. The Bluetooth lets users connect and share files with other devices through wireless links while the microUSB which is a removable device is used for storing of files. Users who want to attach the Vodafone VF830 into their computers or laptops can do so through USB.

 Other Functions

While some might expect affordable mobile phones to have poor quality camera, the Vodafone VF830 boasts of a 3.2 megapixel camera that comes with autofocus feature. Naturally, pictures taken on this excellent camera are more vivid and crisp than those taken on other mobile phone cameras.

Another noteworthy feature of this device is the voice recorder found in the organizer tools of the phone. Apart from the fact that it can be used to record significant messages and reminders, the application can also record conversations during important calls.
