3. Ergonomics

Compared to the e570, the e310 has lost weight and the Compact Flash slot. There is now only the SD version. Likewise, the amount of RAM has been halved to 32 MB.

At the bottom of the e310 is the synchronization base connector and direct mains power supply input.

On the left there is a jog-dial similar to the one you get on a mouse, and a record button for voice memos.

Above is a headphone input, the SD card reader, an IRDa port and the on/ off button.

On the right is the stylus holder, and at the back, a reset button.

There is no problem with screen legibility, whether indoors or out. The mirror effect is fairly low and the brightness strong with good color rendering.

The buttons below the screen are the conventional ones: Calendar, Task, D-pad, Home and Contacts. The only special trait is that Home actually accesses the tab system which lists by category all the applications installed: work, games, etc.

In games, the directional button works perfectly in all directions - up, right, diagonal, etc. You can also press several buttons at once. In short, the e310 is a great device for games.
