The Utstarcom PPC-6700

The following technical Utstarcom PPC-6700 review is based on an algorithm that takes a close look at a phone's specifications, it is not based on a hands-on review. It identifies its strengths and weaknesses so you can make a good decision.

The Good:

  1. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 200 hours. It is good enough! (score: 16/20)
  2. Phone Book: It can store a variable number of phone book entries. This is generally the case of phones with a dynamic memory and, it generally allows for a lot of phone numbers to be stored. (score: 20/20)
  3. Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
  4. Full Keyboard: It has a built-in small keyboard. It helps not just when typing emails but also when browsing the wireless web and adding new phone book entries. (score: 7/7)
  5. Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)

The Average:

  1. Camera: 1.3 megapixel camera included in this phone is considered a fairly good camera. (score: 7/10)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Weight: 6.56 oz of the Utstarcom PPC-6700 is a lot of weight. Whether you carry it in your pants pocket or a purse, you could find it heavy. (score: 0/20)
  2. Talk Time: 180 minutes of talking time. I've seen better. (score: 8/20)

Overall Score: 79
