The Kyocera E2500, released in April 2008, was a basic phone designed for users seeking a simple and affordable communication tool. Here’s a summary of its features:

Pros:

  • Compact and lightweight: Weighing only 69 grams (3.24 oz) and measuring 105 x 48 x 12 mm (4.13 x 1.89 x 0.47 in), the E2500 offered good portability.
  • Long battery life: The 920mAh Lithium-ion battery provided up to 280 hours of standby time and 5 hours of talk time, ensuring reliable use on a single charge.
  • Basic functionality: It catered to essential communication needs with features like voice calling, text messaging (SMS), and a phonebook for storing contacts.

Cons:

  • Outdated technology: Released in 2008, the E2500 is significantly outdated by today’s standards.
  • Limited functionality: It lacks features commonly found in modern smartphones, such as internet access, apps, GPS, advanced camera features, high-resolution display, and multitasking capabilities.
  • Low-resolution display: The display offered a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels, resulting in poor visual quality compared to modern phone screens.
  • 1.3 MP camera: The E2500 lacked a camera, which was a common feature in many phones released even in 2008.
  • Discontinued: The E2500 is a discontinued phone, meaning spare parts and software updates are likely unavailable.
