Additional Features and Battery
The VK4100 supported various messaging formats such as SMS, EMS, and MMS, which was critical for keeping in touch beyond voice calls. Also, it had WAP 2.0/xHTML browser capabilities, despite the slow data speeds of GPRS, which were sufficient for accessing simple mobile web pages. The inclusion of Java MIDP 2.0 allowed users to install and run Java applications and games, enhancing the phone’s utility and entertainment value. Powered by a removable Li-Ion battery, the phone offered flexibility for users to carry spare batteries, a common practice to extend usability during that period.
In summary, the VK Mobile VK4100 was designed to cater to the needs of users with basic communication and multimedia requirements. While it was ultimately canceled, its announced features reflected a bridge between traditional mobile functionalities and emerging technology enhancements seen in the mid-2000s, albeit with limitations that would not satisfy modern smartphone users.
