Design
The Fusic's trendy design dispenses with the humdrum clamshell look of the past, making this phone look and feel like a music player that just happens to be an incredibly powerful phone. The device sports a large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors. The outside cover of the handset features a supplementary 96 x 96 full-color display that can display music player information, pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Meanwhile, handy media control buttons are placed below the outer display. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad. A charging port and USB data cable port are placed on the bottom of the phone and, as mentioned, there's a microSD slot for memory expansion. Listen to your favorite music in stereo when using the included stereo headset. And if you want to make your Fusic match your personality, the front faceplate is replaceable. Calling Features
The Fusic's internal phone book can hold up to 500 contacts, and the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures and ringtones to your most common callers. The phone ships with many polyphonic ringtones, but for those times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and advanced voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates easy. Simply say the name or number of the person you want to call and the number is dialed automatically without using the keypad. No prior voice training is needed. Lastly, because the Fusic is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.
