Trium charged with treason. Review on Mitsubishi Trium Geo

I got my first (and my last) Trium phone, about 2 years ago now. At first I thought it was the bee's knees, and then I realised what rubbish phone it really was.

Advantages of the Trium Geo:

• Nice, some may call ''sexy'' silver buttons.

  
  




• WAP phone

  
  




• Store up to 100 names on the sim card

  
  




• Store up to 100 names on the phone itself

  
  




• Scratchpad

  
  




• Currency Converter

  
  




• Alarm clock

  
  




• Vibration

  
  




• Security is EXTREMLY good

  
  

Security:

• Pin enable/disable

  
  




• Pin 2 change

  
  




• Phone lock

  
  

Disadvantages of the Trium Geo:

• You cannot receive picture messages/ logos or ring tones.

  
  




• Most of the time, text messages won't send

  
  




• To access the Internet on your Trium Geo, it waists up most of your credit quite quickly, even though you are still connecting.

  
  




• Can't use it abroad (some destinations)

  
  




• Annoying butterfly flapping when you look at your screen

  
  




• Only 12 ring tones

  
  




• A VERY large phone

  
  

You are provided with details about using the Internet on your phone, as well as your charger and £5 credit.

WAP:

I used the Internet a few times on my Trium, but when it was connecting to the Internet (it takes quite a while) it already took about £3.00 from me!

And when you finally get onto the Internet, it is quite confusing to understand how to use it! - It took me about 3-4 times to work out how to do it!

Why some people may like it:

Some people may like the Trium, because it has a currency converter, on it. I have to admit, this function was extremely helpful for me. Its high security is another factor why people may like it. Because of the phone's vibration alerts, its a good for a alarm clock. Just set your time, and then, it should vibrate or ring (which ever you decide!)

Why some people may dislike it:

Most people would dislike the Trium, mainly because its size, and appearance.

Key Information:

• Weight: 149g

  
  




• Battery standby time: up to 150 hours

  
  




• Battery talkime: up to 3 hours

  
  




• Dual band

  
  

My personal op:

Why i'm happy with it:

I believe that this phone is good to a point. Its features like the alarm clock and the currency converter are extremly good. Also the fact that the phone's security is EXTREMLY GOOD!

Why I tended to dislike the phone:

Its lack of features, and it's plain design made me feel that this phone isn't that great! To improve the phone I would personalise it more, (how Nokia phones are)

I don't think i'll be buying a Truim soon!
