I wish to share my horrible experience with Nokia 2300 model. I had purchased this new piece on 23-Dec-2004. From day one I had problem with FM Radio of the phone. When I contacted Nokia service centre next day, they checked it and gave me back in evening. Hoping to enjoy cool music on FM I returned to discover the same problem!
My unit had a typical problem. It use to play FM for 10-15 minutes and then noise will start. After that no matter where you try to tune, noise will not stop. On Monday, I was given new unit in exchange, to my surprise, in this unit call will drop and disconnect as soon as you dial!
After another visit to Nokia Service Center and much of heated arguments and wasting over 2 hours, I got another unit in exchange. At the moment it is working fine but I do not know when and what problem may crop up !!
I also, discovered at the service centre that an entire consignment of 2300 is bad. I my two visit to service center I found 8 customers of 2300 reporting various faults.
AVOID BUYING NOKIA 2300 AT ANY COST.
My earlier Nokia 1100 is very reliable.
