Philips News Release on February 14, 2005
The Philips 655 mobile phone gives consumers the perfect reflection - thanks to a built-in mirror. The Philips 655 mobile phone combines a mirror display with a camera making it always easy to take self-portrait photos in favorite places and situations to share with family and friends.
The phone’s integrated camera lets you take photos and send them with MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services) messages in just a few seconds. Or you can store them in your photo album to create personalized slideshows. The mega-memory capacity of 6 MB means you can take lots of your favorite photos – like great nights out with your friends – and store as many as 1,000 of them in a giant, personalized photo-album that you can always have with you in your pocket. You can also store up to 500 phone book entries as well as up to 20 MMS and 300 SMS messages. This makes it easy to keep track of important messages, without having to delete them every time after reading.
TV Link for Plug & Play viewing on TV
Thanks to the camera’s Low Light ‘night’ mode you can even take photos in dark places, so you can capture all your friends looking their best at clubs and parties. Once you’ve taken photos it’s easy to turn them into slideshows to share with family and friends. And best of all, you can do this on your TV’s large screen using the instant, Plug & Play TV Link – just plug in the optional TV Link accessory for immediate viewing! And of course you can view photos and slideshows at any time on the camera itself.
Creative photo editing
It’s also possible to edit photos creatively before sending them. You can let your imagination run wild, for example by adding splashes of daring colors, frames and text to photos of your friends – all using the built-in Creative Photo Editor. Also new on the Philips 655 is the exciting Phototalk option that makes your MMS messages talk, so your family and friends will hear your voice when they look at your photo.
This exciting new phone combines an elegant clamshell design with state-of-the-art camera and audio features. Weight is only 85 grams, so the phone is a snug fit in the palm of your hand and is easy to take with you wherever you go.
Adding an exciting extra dimension is the reverse blue backlight LCD sub-display. With its reverse LCD technology this display lights the text instead of the background, creating a surprising and appealing effect as well as optimizing legibility. The main high-resolution display with 65K colors, visible when the clamshell is opened, provides brilliant full-color viewing of photos taken with the phone’s integrated color camera.
Great sound experience with BeDJâ„¢
Matching the Philips 655’s exciting photo viewing and sharing features is the great sound experience that it offers. With Philips’ unique BeDJ™ recording function you can create your own sounds in a wide choice of styles, using the phone as a creative music mixing panel. You can mix up to nine tracks, choosing different instruments for each track, and varying the tempo and volume to create your own selection of 64 polyphonic ringtones, as well as the built-in choice of 64 polyphonic ringtones with 30 melodies.
Excellent sound quality
Sound quality is way ahead of what’s usual for mobile phones, thanks to a superb loudspeaker designed-in at the back of the phone. That’s ideal together with the phone’s handsfree function, so you take part in conference calls and share calls with a group of friends. The optional FM Radio headset provides another way to enjoy the phone’s excellent sound reproduction.
Next to all these multimedia features the Philips 655 also offers a great gaming experience. The latest Infusio V2 games engine gives you access to a wide choice of downloadable color games (availability depends on operator). You can even publish your scores by SMS messages, to challenge other players and compete for prizes.
Quick SMS adds speed and convenience
Adding extra speed and convenience to SMS messaging, the Philips 655’s Quick SMS feature makes it quicker and easier than ever to read and answer messages. When the Quick SMS mode is activated, incoming messages are displayed automatically and can be answered with just a single key press.
Like all the Philips mobile phones, the Philips 655 offers exceptional talk and standby times: up to 4 hours talk time and up to 400 hours - more than 16 days - standby time. The new Philips 655 mobile phone is available now.
