Design
The Philips 699 has a basic candybar design where the front of the "Dual Sim phone" is covered in porous black metal and surrounding parts are all plastics. The phone has a 2.5 inch full touch screen display, with a 262K TFT display. The images rendered are crisp and bright, even thought the resolution suffers a little.
The screen is of course full touch screen, but it comes with a keypad which had to be realigned to fit in the 2.5 inch screen. The keypad is slightly smaller that way but still manages to find its way during texting.
The left spine of the "dual Sim phone" has a volume rocker and the right spine has a quick camera button. We also fancied the uniform port design whereby the Philips 699 has only one universal mini-USB port for data transfers and charging. The mini-USB is protected with a pop flap that provides protection for the port. Meanwhile, the stylus fits in snugly into a bottom slot.
The back of the dual Sim phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera slot and flanking both sides of the camera opening is the phone’s speaker. When we popped opened the cover, the 800mAh Li-ion battery covers the dual SIM slots and the micro-SD card slot.
