Bird has cooperated with Sagem for a long time, a lot of its phones are powered by Sagem’s platform. On the other hand, Bird produces its own handsets based on other manufacturer’s platforms for quite a while. And as a result, company’s sales grow from day to day on its native market, and it gains experience. It’s impossible to find any Bird’s phone around Europe, although in some segments it may be even competitive and successful, especially in the low-end one.
500 mAh Li-on battery is shipped by default, it also plays the role of the back cover. Fastening is reliable, no backlash was encountered during testing. Bird claims that the phone can work up to 200 hours during stand by mode, and up to 2.5 hours during the talk. I used to talk for about 25-30 minutes daily, and the phone managed to work 2 days. However, if you talk about 15 minutes daily, it will work for three days, but it’s the best you can get from such battery.
The model with symbolic arc on the top will cost about 100$, meanwhile Bird S288 will be a bit more expensive, 110$. We’d like to see other models from Bird as well, this company is in the lead at it’s native market leaving behind such brands as Nokia and Motorola.
