Introducing the Comet II: An Affordable Feature Phone by Icemobile
In 2011, Icemobile released its latest budget-friendly device, the Comet II. This feature phone was an upgraded version of its predecessor, the Comet, and offered users a QWERTY keyboard and improved specifications.
Sleek Design with Convenient Dimensions
Weighing only 90g and measuring 12.8mm in thickness, the Comet II was lightweight and easy to carry around. Its compact design made it a popular choice for those looking for a simple and slim device. The phone came in three color options: black, pink, and brown, giving users the opportunity to choose their preferred style.
Dual SIM Capability and Flashlight for Extra Functionality
The Comet II was equipped with dual SIM capability, allowing users to switch between two different phone numbers seamlessly. This feature was especially useful for individuals who needed to separate personal and work calls. Additionally, the phone also had a built-in flashlight, making it a handy device for emergencies or navigating in the dark.
Basic Features for Everyday Use
The Comet II may have been a budget phone, but it still offered essential features that fulfilled basic daily needs. The 2.2 inch TFT display provided clear and crisp visuals. Users could store up to 500 contacts and had the option to view photos through the photocall feature. The phone also had a dedicated microSD slot for expandable memory, allowing users to store more photos, music, and videos.
Functional Camera and Entertainment Options
The Comet II's main camera featured a VGA resolution, suitable for capturing everyday moments. Though it did not have a front-facing camera, this was not a major drawback as the phone was primarily meant to be used for its basic functions. It had an MP3 and MP4 player, making it perfect for listening to music or watching videos on the go. Additionally, the phone had a TV app, providing users with access to their favorite shows.
Connectivity Options and Battery Life
The Comet II had Wi-Fi capability, enabling users to connect to the internet and browse through WAP 2.0/xHTML. It also had Bluetooth for easy file sharing and a stereo FM radio for entertainment. The phone was powered by a removable Li-Ion 1050 mAh battery, providing users with up to 200 hours of standby time and 4 hours and 10 minutes of talk time.
Final Verdict
The Comet II may not have been a high-end smartphone, but it was never meant to be. Its affordability, basic features, and functional design made it a popular choice among individuals looking for a reliable feature phone. With its release in 2011, the Comet II may have now been discontinued, but its legacy as a budget-friendly device from Icemobile remains.
