Primus PTL 888 mobile phone
Skip contentPrimus PTL888 is a dual band clamshell format mobile phone. A major feature offered by this handset is the access it provides to the Primus Global Call Saver Service, which is brought into operation by pressing one “hotkey” button on the phone. Primus claims that the call saver service can reduce the cost of international calls made on this phone by up to 80%.
Other significant features of the PTL888 are its GPRS and WAP capability, a voice memo recorder, voice control, and a selection of polyphonic ringtones. The display is also a good-sized LCD screen with a resolution of 120 x 160 pixels, which supports up to 65,536 different colours.
Two important disadvantages are that the PTL888 does not have MMS capability, and it also lacks support for Java™ programs, which places some limitations on what you are able to do with this phone. However, 3 games come preloaded in the phone and it is possible to download more ringtones, should you want to.
With its GPRS capability you are provided with an “always on” connection, and with the WAP browser you should have fast access to the mobile Internet and the wide range of Web-based services that are available there.
