The Philips 766 is a strong indication that the Dutch electronics company is now seriously trying to grab a bigger slice of the mobile phone market. Similar to the 755, the 766 is not smartphone. The big question now would be whether the 766 offers something different or more attractive compared to its competitors. Philips has done well in certain areas with regards to the design of the 766. Its brushed titanium finish gives it a dash of style even though it may have a rather boxy frame. The stylus has been neatly placed on the left-hand side of the phone. Philips made a smart move by making the stylus extendable – it is 65mm long and extends another 20mm to make it easier for people with bigger hands to use.
In the WAN department, the 766 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 64-channels polyphony, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.As previously mentioned, the 766 is also equipped with a 0.1 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 10 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Philips 766. Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the 766, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
