When I was a kid , if someone turn up wearing Puma sneakers instead of Nike / Adidas / Converse , they were jest at . Looking back , it was pretty abrasive , but had we known Puma would be putting its name to a telephone set this stylish , I doubt we would ’ve hung that short shaver from his shoe string on the monkeybars . ( I josh , obviously — it was from his braces . )

Despite this phone being made by Sagem ( not exactly a brand you may sport about ) , it ’s a somewhat incredible equipment — the spectacles are adequate enough , but the overall experience of using one is awesome . It ’s been title to an inch of its sprightliness , with every corner of the impost oxygen looking like it ’s stepped out of a graphic house decorator ’s wet dream .

It ’s a pretty average touchscreen sound shape , feels decent in your manus with quite a good build ( it in reality prompt me a bit of the first HTC Touch in terminal figure of sizing and shape , only painted with glossiness ) , but not as well built as the stuff and nonsense coming out ofHTC now . It ’s sluttish , but does feel quite charge card .

Flipping it over though reveals the kicker — a solar panel for charging in the sun . It ’s not the first earphone with a solar instrument panel , but Puma ’s paw have make decent into the nitty gritty of the functionality — with the phone telling you how many minutes you ’ve got charged up by solar power , and what that translates to in terms of message you could place , second you could talk for , and so on .

It also rewards you , with the minutes being exchanged for Puma product in the store . It ’s a really keen touch , and will definitely be an incentive to charge as much as you could by mother nature ’s rays .

unhappily , it ’s the screen that allow the ironware down — it ’s a 2.8 - column inch QVGA TFT capacitive touch screen with 240 x 320 pixels , and while it was responsive it just was n’t the sharpest picture we ’ve seen on a phone . It may do with the fact that every single screen is smart violent , but even calculate at Dylan , the Puma Phone ’s favourite puma , who strolls past the screen roaring at you , it was a bit of a mucky image .

There ’s two ways you may go on the homescreen — towards the athletics side , or the lifestyle projection screen . Sports has all the fittingness programs , like a pedometer , bike tracker , run tracker , reach , alarm system , stop watch and RSS for sports - related news program . Every program is very Puma Phone — promising red , and stylised .

The life-style screen has everything else you could possibly require — music thespian ( which is a very nerveless lazy Susan , where you see the arm dropping the Puma logotype - criminal record onto the musician and then spinning around — it actually countenance you scratch ) ; message , email , photographic camera and so on . The social app open up to exhibit your Twitter , Facebook , Flickr and YouTube accounts , which are middling canonic but quite clear and easy to use .

Shooting photos on the 3.2 - megapixel camera was pretty exchangeable to the experience of using an Android telephone set — very well-fixed to practice , and the light-emitting diode newsflash and 6x digital zoom worked well too . I took a few snap in the bright airstrip inflammation - lit room and they were percipient with no visible complaints . It also plow TV conferencing at VGA solving ( see that forward - facing camera , there ? ) , but I did n’t try that out .

To make a call apace , or get to one of your other oft - used apps , the ‘ wizard carpet ’ can be pulled up , almost like the opposite of Android ’s mantle , which come down . There , you may make a fast phone call or see the Puma store .

Needless to say , I think it ’ll be a actual shocker at Mobile World Congress . While Microsoft ’s big Windows Phone 7 was surprising , we kind of carry it to save on the dependable hooey . The Puma Phone has come out of nowhere , and I can definitely see it becoming a viable second phone for anyone sporty - inclined . It wo n’t exchange your smartphone , but there ’s enough new features and bonus to carry on using it ( charging the solar jury to collect enough points to buy Puma hooey ) , so it ’s in spades deserving your attention .
