The X450 aka Van Gogh comes
bundled with a Bluetooth headset
as its USP. It is a well designed
handset with a rear panel that can be
swapped. The lack of a micro SD hot
swap slot is a bit of a disappointment.
The 2.4-inch display is clear even in
bright outdoor conditions. The Bluetooth
headset has a built-in cradle at the rear of
the handset and in no way hinders usage.
It features a pretty standard Java OS
that manages to function quite smoothly
except when it came to refreshing the
media sections. It handles dual SIM (GSM
+ GSM) functions quite seamlessly. The
music quality is better than average, with
playback for low res videos and a built
in FM radio also thrown in. The bundled
Bluetooth headset is comfortable to wear,
but the lack of a era-clip could hamper
prolonged use. The X450 supports GPRS
and WAP with Bluetooth (A2DP) and USB
2.0. eBuddy is thrown in for chatting and
Opera Mini can be used as an alternative
to the native browser. The 2 megapixel
fixed focus camera delivers average image
quality at best. The Van Gogh manages
to provide excellent battery life, which is
a major factor to take into account.
Verdict: The X450 works out to be quite a value for money handset with an innovative USP.
For: Well designed handset, ergonomic Bluetooth handsfree kit built in, good audio quality, great battery life.
Against: Average photo quality, no email support.
