Hi,
Been a user of Nokia 3530 for about three months now. This is my first cellphone so I won’t make comparisons.
Cost Advantage
Huge. Colour and polyphonic ringtones @6900 officially. Can’t get better.
Basic functions
Sound reception is very good. Again, never having used another cellphone, I can’t compare.
Huge number memory and lot of space for messages and other stuff like ringtones and games. Should be enough for everything.
Handy stuff
Lot. Wallet is the best. Though at first I could not understand what it was supposed to hold. All your Credit card information can be held there.
Stop watch and timer etc are cool. Calculator is good too.
Extras
Games are a steal. Bowling is addictive and other games are good too. I can use some help with Backgammon though. And help is there for every feature...
Drawbacks
Bulky. I guess the memory size comes at a cost, though it shouldn’t ;-)
Also, there should be feature to turn the backlight off if you want to...right now it is compulsory and makes you feel a little odd at times in public when the phone glows like anything.
Looks are not bad. Can be improved
Go for it if you are a value for money person.....and it is good too.
