Leading handset makers are scrambling to add all kinds of fancy functions to their phones for the purpose of boosting sales. The ever growing screen size is one example. However, do most consumers really need such intricate designs and functions- When the initial marketing frenzy wanes, perhaps many people will return to their senses and find that a simple lightweight phone enabling them to make calls and send text messages is enough to meet the needs of most use scenarios.
If we look back to the rise and widespread popularity of handsets, it is certain that they have become popular consumer products because they enable people to communicate anytime anywhere. The Talkase T3 3G card-sized phone is a simple feature phone that eliminates all the hassles. It can also turn into a Wi-Fi hotspot for smartphones and all types of other smart devices that people nowadays often carry along.
The Talkase phones were successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2014 and are now available on the market in volume. Looking similar to a small calculator, the credit card-sized phone fits in your pocket, wallet, and EasyCard holder for easy portability. Keeping with the slim and lightweight design, the Talkase phone also features sleek style and color choices.
In terms of functions, the Talkase T3 supports 3G communications and Wi-Fi hotspot sharing with 72 hours of battery life. Charging is done via a magnetic Micro USB charging connector and one charge supports 72 hours of battery life on standby. The major change introduced to the latest generation Talkase T3 is the support for 3G and Wi-Fi hotspot feature.
For users already with a company phone, the Talkase T3 can ideally serve as a back-up phone. For users having to go into areas banning the use of phones with photo taking functions and Internet connections, the Talkase T3 can be used as a feature phone that serves just the purpose. The Talkase T3 3G card-sized phones will go on sale in Taiwan in June for US$79.
