NEW YEAR, NEW GADGET

By: Mary Joy Mondero

     My sister bought new gadget every year as a gift for herself. And for this year , she had the new Tourque cellphone. It is my first time to saw a Tourque. It has definitely caught my eye with its metal case.

      The phone's over all design makes it look expensive. It is heavier than other other phones, but not too heavy. The keypad is made up of metal same of its silver and black case.

       The phone is very practical and convenient to use especially now that most of the people have more than just one sim. Tourque metal is a Dual -sim phone. You need not turn off nor switch to a different setting in using one card to another. The user has the option to either  activate both at the same time or use just one. What's more convenient about it is that both sim can have different call, SMS, MMS, security and network settings.

    Tourque has dial keys for each sim. Its It's easy and fast by simply typing in the number you want to call from. Nonetheless, you can assign up to nine quick dial up keys for your contacts.

     There are also advanced features in this phone. You can access the internet via WAP. There are settings already available on the phone, but it's best to contact your network provides first to use this function. it can be quite hard to request for a GPRS configuration for this phone just yet, but now the Tourque is becoming more and more popular these days. I'm sure network providers would be able to offer a suitable configuration for this one.

     Other features include an e-book reader, FM radio and an audio player. The phone's internal memory are quite low, but the phone's memory can be expanded up ot 2GB with a microSD card. The reader supports .txt file which won't take up tooo much space.
