Connectivity and Features
Connectivity is basic but in line with the technology available during its launch year. Operating on GSM 900 and 1800 bands, the Bosch Com 738 offers no GPRS or EDGE, focusing solely on 2G technology. Such an orientation points to the era’s voice-centric mobile usage, with data transmission being in its infancy. The phone lacks features like WLAN, Bluetooth, and positioning, which are now ubiquitous in mobile technology.
The absence of a camera, loudspeaker, and 3.5mm jack underscores the device’s primary role: voice communication. The monophonic ringtones, while quite rudimentary by today’s standards, were fairly standard at the time and provided basic alert functionalities. Users must rely solely on SMS for messaging, as advanced communication forms like MMS or internet browsing were not supported.
