I have already written review on Nokia 2100 , after buying it for 2.5 years. Since its battery was going Down and new battery cost was 1400/- (INR) I thought to GO for new cell phone. Since I was using Nokia brand and I was quiet satisfied with that I was willing to for Nokia brand again.
So as per my requirement I was searching for phones similar to Nokia 2100 and I got one that is
Nokia 2610. this is an upgraded version of 2100
Deal was like this.
Old Nokia 2100 resale price 600/- INR (which I refused outright )
If I want to get new battery that was costing 1400/- (INR) [very costly]
Price of Nokia 4060/- (INR) ….so if I deduced the Nokia 2100 battery price
From the Nokia 2610 [4060 -1400 = 2660] SO I am getting new phone
With new battery for by spending 2660/- (INR) EXTRA
