Philips 755 and 759: Putting a Personal Touch on Mobile Messaging

Remember when mobile phones were just for calling and the occasional text? Those days are officially behind us. Philips is shaking things up with the introduction of the 755 and 759, two devices designed specifically for people who want to do more than just communicate—they want to create. At the heart of these new releases is the ‘Snap, Tag & Send’ concept, a feature that turns your phone into a digital canvas for sharing moments with a bit of personality.

Creative Freedom at Your Fingertips

The standout feature here is the ability to personalize your photos before they even leave your phone. Both models come equipped with integrated VGA cameras that are ready to go the moment you slide back the protective lens cover. But the magic happens after you snap the shot. Using the touchscreen, you can ‘tag’ your images by writing handwritten notes or drawing directly onto the screen.

Want to go further? The built-in Creative Photo Editor lets you experiment with sepia tones, grayscale, and negative color effects. You can even record voice clips to attach to your MMS messages, ensuring your friends hear exactly what you’re thinking.

Be Your Own DJ

Beyond photography, Philips is catering to the music lovers with their unique BeDJ™ application. This isn’t just a basic ringtone picker; it’s a full Music Mix Panel. You can mix up to nine different tracks, select specific instruments, and adjust the tempo and volume to craft a completely custom sound. Whether you’re using tracks embedded in the phone or sounds downloaded via WAP, creating a signature ringtone has never been this intuitive.

Slim Design, Big Performance

While these phones are packed with creative tools, they haven’t sacrificed portability or power. Weighing in at a featherlight 89g, both the 755 and 759 are designed to slip into a pocket without a second thought. Here’s a quick look at the technical highlights:

• Vibrant Display: A 128 x 160 TFT screen capable of showing over 65,000 colors.
• Storage: 7MB of internal memory, which is plenty of space for up to 800 stored memories.
• Battery Life: Serious staying power with up to 5 hours of talk time and 250 hours (over 10 days) of standby time.
• Night Mode: Capture clear images even in low-light settings without needing a flash.
