Mitsubishi Astral

This device is known as a "Mobile phone". That means that it is a phone that you can take almost (I wouldn't take it swimming) anywhere. With this phone, you can enter in numbers and press the green "call" button. The number you entered is the number of another phone (not necessarily another mobile phone though). The other phone then rings (once a connection has been established, which may take some time, so be patient) letting the person you want to contact know that someone is phoning them (as long as that phone is not currently in use. They would then pick up their phone (or press a button if it is a mobile phone) and say something ...  Read the complete review

What you are buying with this phone is a bottom of the range basic phone. All I want from a phone is that it let me make and recieve calls and text messages, and it stores my phone numbers. I think you'll find thats what we all want from a phone, but some people seem to demand so much more (but to me thats like insisting that I need a Mercedes to get my shopping back from Tesco when an old Escort would do). The handset isn't physically to big (4"x1"x3/4" approx.), okay so its not upto more recent handsets but it certainly isn't big. Possibly the worst thing apperance wise is that it has an extendable ariel, but you don't generally ...  Read the complete review

I bought this mobile phone in July last year. It was my first mobile and one I intended to keep for a while. I bought it to do the job, I was on a limited budget and wanted to simply be able to send and receive sms and calls. The package with a Vodafone all calls SIM card cost me £40 at the time but I'm not too sure how much it is now. On many platforms this mobile can be praised. It does everything it sets out to do. The screen is clear and easy to read, the menus are easily accessed and gotten round thanks to the navi-key function. The ringtones are non customisable and they are all of the same averagely bad mood. The sms message alert is very cool so this ...  Read the complete review

If only they were as good at designing cars as they are phones. Trium, the newly formed French company, have really hit the spot here. With handy functions like knowing when the recepient has received their SMS, this is a practical phone at a reasonable price. It's attractive design will make anyone want it and Trium's reputation for making some of the most ergonmic phones on the mmarket is not lost here. The only downside about this phone is that the build quality is not the most convincing I've ever experienced. ...  Read the complete review

The Trium Astral is the futuristic name for the Vodafone pay as you go phone released in December 1999. The styling is more down to earth then the name with a glossy-blue click on face. If you don't like the cover you can change at £14.99, but let me warn you the click on cover is extremely hard to remove. The Vodafone model offers a bespoke Vodafone menu system for quick access to your top up hot line and call credit balance however the rest of the phone is more or less similar to the phones little sister the Trium Galaxy. The phone always produces cute little noises no matter what you press and if you press any other key than the numeric ...  Read the complete review
