Entertainment
In addition to the 1.3-megapixel camera and integrated MP3 player, the
T809 also includes essential applications such as Alarm, Calculator, Calendar,
Stopwatch, Timer, World Timer, and Unit Conversion. While there's no email
client, T-Mobile customers can access accounts through T-Zones service.
Noticeably Voice Commands are missing as well.
Offering a few bundled games, the T809 is built on the J2ME (Java 2 Micro
Edition) mobile platform. As the most popular mobile application platform,
many developers have created a wide range of Java games (reminiscent of
80s console titles) and applications. Through the Internet or T-Zones, consumers
can download programs, most for a small fee.
Internet
The T809 comes with GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Class 10 technology,
allowing consumers to browse the web at speeds of up to 48 kbps. However,
users will probably opt for EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution)
high-speed connectivity.
 Able
to achieve broadband-like speeds of up to 384 kbps, T-Mobile customers can
access T-Zones Internet service for picture and video messaging, multimedia
and game downloads, and web and email access.
Storage
Having 65.0 MB of 70.0 MB free for storage, photos, ringtones, videos,
and applications and games are dynamically shared on the T809's internal
memory.
Additionally having a TransFlash expansion slot, the T809 takes advantage
of the MP3 player, by accepting cards up to 512 MB in size. A 32 MB is included
in the package.
Connectivity
Packaged with the T809, a USB data cable allows users to connect with
a PC for immediate connectivity. But to transfer wirelessly, the T809 also
features Bluetooth 1.2 technology. Allowing users to connect the T809 to
other Bluetooth-capable devices within a 10 meter range, messy wires can
be avoided by pairing with a wide range of peripheral devices including
headsets, car equipment, PCs, printers, PDAs, or digital cameras. As the
already-popular Bluetooth standard grows even more popular, more and more
devices in a wide range of industries will be compatible.
