Form-factor device selected "book", so beloved by Asian manufacturers and must say deservedly. When folded, MC300 is a little place, and in working more convenient than a candy bar at the expense of ergonomics and proper location of speaker / microphone. Immediately we note that the opening angle of the apparatus is large enough and in fact the plane of the upper lid is at the opening below the second, the bottom halves. This situation provides a mounting hinge rigidly fixed in the upper part and the movable mounting location of the bottom. Hinge at the expense of its massiveness, and perhaps the above-described type of fastening prevents backlash halves open book and minimize them in the folded position. An interesting and neglected decision now looks like the shell does not disclose manually and automatically, by pressing the keys - the right to housing on the site of rounding the bottom of the sidewall is recessed silver cylinder. Clicking on his rough beveled butt we set in motion the mechanism of disclosure, which operates with a typical mouse. Opens the machine does not say so quickly, rather smoothly, but the effect is even ostentatious, works perfectly. Close apparatus will have to manually, but this "miracle" no one expected. Perhaps you ask, can we open without a button, as it is classically and faster? We do not know whether it will approve a manufacturer, but the mechanical possibility. By the way - if you have an automatic opening to fully open the case to close and then fix it, and hand this is not necessary.
Dimensions of the phone, as we have said, comfortable for most applications (the conversation, transportation, access to the menu) and make up 52,5 x 95,5 x 19,5 mm and weighs 84.5 oz. As you can see, the panels are not symmetrical and the bottom looks like a kind of cushion, speaking on the contour from the top in the folded position.
Body materials - plastic and if the texture of the manufacturer to "play", the color is very strict, radical black. The front panel - black gloss, significantly sensitive to the touch and provides a comprehensive daktilokartu owner. Rear panel, by contrast, black matte plastic, which does not slip in his hand. Similarly, he made the keyboard plate, not counting the silver dividing moldings and frames the entire panel as a non-penetrating perforation of the contour. Plastic is the top of the inner surface, including conceals the display, similar to its "back" - it is glossy and brands. Structural elements in the MC300 is moderate, and almost all are in place, why in the process of testing and the use does not cause a negative. Let us examine them in detail. Upper part of the mark only at first glance, self-sufficient monopoly, but the call or after the closing, it is manifested in the vertical line of the external monochrome display measuring 1.1 inches and a resolution of 128x36 pixels, with bold shades of turquoise and horizontal touch keys control the player. If no claims to the display (except for its size - often call because of the scrolling text is difficult to grasp with one cycle of the scroll), then the player buttons are pressed at times spontaneously, if the device is removed in the pocket earlier than the external display goes off. Would be logical to do any mechanical lock in this case.
Let us open the apparatus and take a look at the inner surface of the shell. The upper part is given over to a horizontal slit-deepening earpiece with rounded edges which could be seen inside the grid. Below, not taking every possible surface, is the main phone display. This 2.2-inch TFT-display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels and capable of displaying up to 262 000 shades of color.
Viewing angles are not perfect, that at the current location of the camera quickly becomes clear. With the same brightness and color saturation are no problems, they complement the already clear picture of the screen.
The lower part of the inner surface is logical given by placing the keyboard. Before us is practically one piece plate of frosted plastic, divided by the silver streaks limiters series and pasting kruglyasha joystick. Managing the block before the round joystick button inscribed with confirmation (play), surrounded by a context key and the call key.
Alphanumeric block is a 4 arc zone 3 keys in each, divided between them and the rest of the curved lines of silvery plastic. Progress in mechanical keys, although in appearance it may seem that they touch. Given the location of plastic keypad, flush with the panel body, move the buttons small and tight that you get the sense with a set of messages, although the lack of division in the ranks do not feel - wrong set was not fixed.
Backlighting of the keys is white, fairly uniform and moderately bright, not blinding in the dark.
To the left of the keyboard, the perforation of the shell is a microphone, while the bottom of the elements missing.
The sides are filled with a minimum, the right - the interface connector, classic miniUSB, through which including implemented and charging apparatus, and diametrically opposite to the left - an audio jack mini-jack 3,5 mm. Under the audio connector is a thin strip of the volume rocker, which, I must say is not very easy to use site - great toe has a lot of strain for switching.
The rear panel of the housing accommodates a small window of 3.2-megapixel camera, the use of which in this case the principle of disclosure is not very convenient: the first initially obscure the lens with your finger, and secondly, the plane of shooting is different from the plane, and endorsing the display screen on the screen inevitably tilts apparatus. Clearly, the exploitation requires a habit, but first impressions are exactly.
Here lies the body of the battery compartment cover to remove it can force the sliding down, then pull up. Fastening entrance 6 lateral and 2 lower projections in its grooves, and backlash excluded 2-name longitudinal ridges on each side.
After removing the cover, we can see the bottom of a plastic tooth, for which you can attach a strap and fixing it to act exactly cover - is not new, but rather a convenient solution.
Under the back cover we see a logical battery, recessed into the battery bay vraspor. Extract it can, prying a nail in the bottom of the tank and pulling for you. The upper part of the battery compartment is blocking access to the replaceable memory card, located above the deepening housing. This is not the usual slide, but a simple cavity, from which protrudes a ponytail card. "Hot swap", as you know, in this case, no.
Under the battery in parallel to each other are 2 storage compartments SIM cards. This is a plastic plate in the form of cards, framing contacts and fixing metal brackets above them. On the card number you can see, looking at the markings on the motherboard, that at first may not notice
