Connectivity and Additional Features
In terms of connectivity, the Philips 290 operated on GSM 2G bands, suitable for basic calling and texting, but lacked any form of modern connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth, WLAN, or EDGE, limiting its functionality to the basics. The lack of a proprietary USB port additionally meant that connectivity options for data transfer were quite restricted. On the multimedia side, the phone supported downloadable polyphonic and MP3 ringtones but did not feature a loudspeaker or 3.5mm audio jack, limiting audio output methods.
