Features and Performance
In terms of connectivity, the Bird M08 was limited to 2G GSM bands, specifically GSM 900 / 1800, with GPRS Class 10 for basic data transfer activities. Absent were modern connectivity staples such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, as these technologies were still in nascent phases of adoption among more premium handsets. The proprietary USB port hinted at an ecosystem struggling towards standardization. However, its built-in MP3 player represented an attractive feature that spurred on the digital music movement concurrently gripping the world.
Battery life was decent with a standby time of up to 200 hours and talk time approaching 2 hours and 50 minutes, well-suited to users who demanded consistent yet undemanding usage patterns. The Bird M08 supported messaging via SMS, EMS, and MMS, catering to the popular communication modalities of the time. Games and downloadable ringtones served to enhance the personalization of the device.
