This is a cheap no nonsense phone, very user friendly as it is easier to message due to its key pads. Even after it fell plenty of times, there was no marks due to its black sleek body.
It is so slim that sometimes I have to search it between my books if I have left it by mistake, so it easily fits inside pockets and is hasle free. The center menu button gets scratched easily, hence it turned cop perish over a period of time. Its durable enough as no problems occurred after falling into a jug of water, it worked fine after that too.:)
The display is very good, the VGA camera surprisingly has good picture quality in the presence of light, much better than other 1.3 mp cameras by nokia.
The battery also needs no charging even after 3 hrs talking. ie: it remains for 5 days stand by and on talking 3-4 hrs. Needs charging once in 2 days, but takes a lot of time, a full charge takes around an hour! That a problem with all nokia phones...It has 3 games, snake ex, sudoku and mikis world.Bluetooth is useful but very rarely due to lack of storage space.
CONS
It has maximum 12-14 mb capacity, so u can store upto 40 pics and a 2 to 3 songs. Sound quality is poor, without bass and of low output. Hence its useless in traffic areas and public places, loud speaker is too soft..(
It wud be much better had it had provision for memory card.Nokia compromises heavily on some plastic parts, like the ear phones completely stopped working as it got dismantled, and buying a new ones proves expensive. The hands free device proved useless as I had to literally shout and I couldnt hear anything except my own voice.
It looks much expensive than it actually is and if u want a nice good looking phone, then this is the one to buy, though now there are much better ones available. Samsung phones have better build quality and price range is more competitive.
But Nokia lost one loyal customer, it was only in my mind, if you try and buy a Samsung product you will miss the convenience of the Nokia, but in the long run you will realise that Nokia phones take a premium for nothing but to fool customers. I mean that Nokia hi end phones are good , but the low end ones are definitely not worth the money.
