Used this phone has been written many articles, but most of them did not specify that it is not just a mobile phone and GPS receiver in one housing. This device, which opens up a new type of communication Mobile phone spy for users - the exchange of data about their own whereabouts. We thank the company "accepted" and the Russian representative office of «Benefon» for providing equipment and assistance in preparing this article.  I'm standing in the cold for one of the outputs of the subway "South" and waiting for a friend who was supposed to arrive for 20 minutes before. Mobile phones - it turns out, my friend for half an hour freezing the other out. Another three minutes on the elucidation of the general guidelines and we meet. You say - bad deal. You are right, I do not know that area. I then thought that it would be good for both of us instead of the usual cell phones to keep in your pocket for the device Benefon ESC!.  GSM-telefona/GPS-navigatora Benefon ESC!  So is the case with which I began the story of this remarkable device, could be resolved, and in this way: I'm posting from my machine, using special GPS-menu to another telephone inquiry «Find Friend», wait until a reply comes SMS, and immediately see on the map where the person I'm looking for. Then I set the resulting point as a destination and using the standard means of navigation (GPS-compass direction of the pointer on a waypoint and the distance to it), find a friend.  As the mobile phone "-esque" is not a ق nothing outstanding, except that pleases the merit of its design. Despite the presence of a mobile element in it - flip GPS antenna - the case is reliable, all joints, including the battery compartment, fitted with rubber seals, front panel with stylish fringed a steel frame, the screen is protected by thick plastic. Provides a connector for an external GPS-antenna. This is a very useful thing, especially in the car, but in this case it would be natural in a couple more and set out for GSM-antenna ...  The main screen of the phone - GSM-telefona/GPS-navigatora Benefon ESC!  The main screen phone. Phone's menu, in general, is very typical of Benefon. Even a simple address book, although I expect it will be the number of fields is similar to the Nokia 6210. From the exotic can be noted a such a simplified up to a limit of six notebook entries of arbitrary small length of 160 characters. However, I have my doubts that this "enhancement" is often in demand, even taking into account the fact that the phone system is implemented T9. Type long messages are not very comfortable, the reason for it - a soft keyboard and an easy entry inhibition (I stress, not to denigrate this phone for nothing: it only applies to long posts!). But this is compensated by the ability to do without the screen scrolling when reading a received message, because it fits the whole screen!  Speaking of T9: This phone system is fast typing, and working with the Russian language. In the process of experimenting with typing revealed that the localizers included in the dictionary of the phone and profanity. So the transfer of SMS using "Eska" can not only smiles, but also more complex emotions. Of course, the dictionary of the phone is not infinite, and the test sentence of tea with French pastries phone refused to recognize the word "buns".  Looking at the huge screen of this device necessarily expect from a functional PDA. But she's not here to speak of, except for the above-described pad. The screen is not sensitive to pressure (which is good, considering that the device is designed for harsh environments) Mobile spyware. Have no phone or Internet-browser, or even viewers WAP ...  map on the Benefon ESC!  E-map. What is needed in the apparatus of such a large screen, you know, when the switch to the navigator, especially in the derivation of electronic maps. The handset utilizes a raster map that, as owners are aware handheld computers, potentially useful, because you can scan a paper map and load the desired area in the Palm or "Cassiopeia". But no such luck! Maps for "Eska" must be presented in its native format (tools at hand to translate the image in this format the company does not offer). Even if you remove the card, it means loading into memory users ESC! is proposed. One can only hope that the company supplying the Russian card for ESC! (Www.prinmap.ru), will soon expand its product range and will be offered on the site, not only maps of Moscow and Moscow region. Maps of the world outside of Russia, as usual, more accessible, you can download (handout threatens to limit the number of sites free access cards for five hundred fragments) from the site www.genimap.com.  Navigational Aids Benefon ESC as a whole are typical for any GPS-receiver. These include GPS-compass (how it differs from the usual - see the article about the eTrex Vista), the navigation computer (data about the past?%
