I happened to read a review and while commenting on it thought, why not have my own review since I have also used it for three months(my most recent phone after nokia 3120, samsung x520, nokia 3300, 3230, 6230i, e62 and asus P320.Recently I have brought samsung gt c6625 but will start using it after Dassera).
pros:
1000mAh battery gives a lot of talktime and standby time.
powerful speakers output quality sound.
multiple alarms with multi snooze options.
superb keypad with hinglish T9 dictionary.
SOS- you assign a numbers to which you can send a pre-written SMS just by keeping button pressed when in emergency.
call reject with SMS- preset a message which can be sent instantly. keeping the volume rocker pressed rejects the call and sends the SMS.
good power management -screen brightness will automatically reduce and some features get disable to that remaining pwer will be used only for primary functions.
call tracker- you can track your lost phone location and active number, many other options to do incase of loss of phone are also available.
opera mini runs smoothly on this( I did use it for wikipedia and googling if not casual surfing.
memory card contents can be password protected.
fast easy and responsive interface.
loud and clear voice and call clarity.(you will feel as if you are on CDMA and not on some pathetic vodafone network).
Radio FM recording and reception - this is is the best among all phones ihave used so far ie nokia 3300, 6230i, 3230, samsung x520, and w200i
w200i had an equally good radio.
comes with a 1 GB memory card(my other phones like asus p320 and nokia E62 came with no memory card or 64-128 MB max)
Music player sound quality is so good I wonder why I wasted my money on MP3 players which cost equal, give no other functionality and last a year -maximum ang have no resale value even in working condition.
negatives:
music player allows only 4 playlist with a maximum of 10-15 songs per list-that too only if put in music folder .
jar files can not be installed from memory card.
screen resolution could have been better.
overall this I feel is the best and the most reliable phone you can get in ths range.
I feel the above features are minor but go a long way in strengthening reliability factor and also shows company commitment to provide the customers with value for their hard earned money.
Nokia phones based on Symbian S60 are very GOOD(they come in higher price range only)but non smart phones from nokia are far behind Samsungs.
