Appearance, features, attractions
The Haier HG-N96 is delivered with a card T-Flash of 512 Mb, two battery and two chargers, one to load the battery directly, and an other one to load the battery from the cell phone. At first seen, like a lot of Haier this phone is not very sexy in opposite of the I-phone and haven’t got the originality of the new Nokia (the prism). Quality of material employees is not a good point. The black plastic looks really like a fake.
Notes are not very big and I guess my grand father will have some difficulties to see it. Moreover, I realize that Haier haven’t made any effort on this point because space is lost in benefit of the operator logo.
When we take it in hand we can see that the HG-N96 is not a lightweight but we can classify it in the heavyweight category. The phone got a camera with a lens of 1.3 mega pixels. 1.3 mega pixels! Even my old phone is better. So where is the interest of this new cell phone if it’s not in design, not in weight not in camera .Maybe in other accessories?
The screen,ring tones,peripheral interface
The Haier integrate a big tactile screen, we can used it with a stylus or with fingers. The interface is very classic and easy to use. It’s a dual GSM\GPRS phone with a slot for T-Flash memory card and USB connectivity
?This phone is case in one piece and got a dual SIM slot, the two SIM cards can be active together. The memory without T-Flash card is 5486 Kb. On this phone you’ve got the choice between 17 rings tone and you can download more from internet and form the T-Flash card. Finally, you’ll be able with the integrate recorder to put music or records songs as your ring tone.
The interface is made with nine functions: setting, messages, accessory, phonebook, call history, customer service, my favorites folders, your operator services and the monternet.
Basic functions (messaging, directories)
We can choose to write messages with the tactile screen in making appear a keyboard on the screen or by the classic way, with notes (what is easier when you walk…). The message operation system allowed you to write in pinyin or in English. You still can write on the screen with the stylus, the phone will recognize which letter you write. The numeric camera of the Haier got a poor quality. It got a self timer you can set it up between 5 and 25 seconds, it got numeric zoom 4x and suggest you a sepia and a monochrome effect. We can record video, the Haier got a music player, a video player and a voice recorder. It still got the bases elements of any recent phone, schedule, alarm and calculator.

standby time,functions,Overall assessment
for your folders transfers between your phone and a computer or with an other phone the Haier is set up with PCsync and GPRS wizard. About the internet, you’ve got direct links as “financial online” or “my monternet”. It gave you an easy access to your information. For games you might be disappointed because there is no game, you’ll have to download it.
