Philips D908 Design and Display

Design and Display

The Philips D908 boasts a compact design with dimensions of 111 x 56.2 x 14.9 mm and a weight of 129 g, making it reasonably portable for its time, while the choice of a Mini-SIM slot reflects the standard of the era. The phone features a 3.2-inch TFT resistive touchscreen that supports 256K colors, though, effectively, it displays 65K colors. The screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels ensures a sharp pixel density of approximately 292 ppi, which, while standard at the time, may appear less vibrant compared to modern displays. Offering handwriting recognition, the display provides a nod to stylus-oriented interactions, which was a common feature in devices based on Windows Mobile.
