Philips 598 Connectivity and Communication

Connectivity and Communication

Connectivity options on the Philips 598 are consistent with its basic phone category, featuring Bluetooth for short-range wireless communication but lacking WLAN, GPS, or radio functionalities. It includes an infrared port for data exchange, an option that was increasingly rare at the time of its release. The proprietary USB connector is used for charging and wired data transfer. Messaging options cover SMS, MMS, Email, and Instant Messaging, while the WAP 2.0/xHTML browser provides elementary internet access suited for lighter web functions.
