As the title speaks itself for the phone, this neat piece is packed with goodies, which are just enough for you to use the phone to its optimum. Unlike other very fancy phones which comes even with oxygen cylinder attached as an assessory with a tag line - ’’you can’t live without it’’
I did read some review for the phone and opted for it nearly 2 months back, and am yet to complain, I have used many phones of fanning in almost every brand, except sagem I guess, my last phone was Samsung SGH - C100, which too wasn’t digitally obese set, but a slim and beautyful work of technology.
I am not here to bore you all with you all with the features written in chronological order - unlike other reviews, but to share my feelings with you all.
This phone has one of the ultimate hook/catch in abundance - BEAUTY This phone is very neat, and fits in hands very easily, wiht its widely and very thoughtfully placed keys, its an absolute must for SMS-savvy crowd, and guess what it comes with MMS compatibility... :-)
Its a brilliantly coloured phone (inside and ouside both... :-) ) which is bound to fill your heart and surrounding with joy, with its polyphonic tunes and beautiful display screen.
I have seen some of the members wrote not having more than one game as a con against many pros, but guys you are praising this phone for having filled with everything except the frills, what are you complaining about?
But if you need, you can always download games using GPRS and WAP.
With a good speaker and good quality headset, this phone makes a good hearing. and the FM radio can make your bike ride very pleasent... (but you can’t fix speaker to radio, radio needs audio-enhancer, which is hands free unit in most of the cases, thats a minus I guess...)
The phone book is wide, and can store nearly every detail possible for up to 500 entries.
But one thing was very good in Samsung, where Nokia failed to gain marks - in phone book search, Nokia only show results for exact match of the name typed / entry made, whereas Samsung was more dynamic in this case e.g. if I am searching Nixi in my phone book, in Nokia 6030, I have to type ’’Nix’’ atleast to find the nearest and most precise entry in my 300+ filled strong phone book, Whereas in Samsung I was asked to type only ’’nh’’ to show nearest match to ’’nixi’’. This is known as exact match of the search string in computer jargon. If I enter ’’nh’’ which are the first to type letters in 9-key keypad, I will get nothing or no display of nearest match in Nokia, opposite to this I will get any match starting from ’’nh’’ onwards in Samsung.
The speaker/loudspeaker works very well, one can hear across the room too, but you can’t speak back... thats a catch--- the reception of voice across speaker-mode is not good at all, I have faced problem of broken voice, voice very weak, words wavering and many thing, but I guess I can live with the phone stuck to my ears...
The phone-user-display was also better in Samsung, with its colour changing from dialing(green) to connecting(violet) to connected(orange), its not the case in Nokia. It too has some different designs/fonts, but didn’t quite catch my eye, but neverthless its Nokia, and after a costly journey across every brand in Cellphones, I am strick Finnish Nokiatholic (rhyming with Roman Catholic) now. Fully devoted and adaptized... (rhyming with baptized).
I shall be updating this thread with some more info, without the usual jargon, have fun...
