I went to the store with Sony Ericsson W710i in mind. After buying Nokia 6270 10 months back, I decided not to buy a Nokia again. But having seen the piece I was impressed with the design and the exceptional music performance. However after using it for the last 2 weeks I realized that my earlier decision to not to go for Nokia is correct.
The pros of this phone are illusive. It’s slim, good design, good looks but all these thing aren’t going to benefit you as you use it. But it’s cons will definitely bother you a lot. The ring volume is too low at it’s maximum and there is every chance that you miss many calls especially when you are in a noisy environment. If you turn the vibrator on...the battery which is weak by default will let you down more quickly than it otherwise does. The battery is very special that it takes more time to recharge than the talk time it supports!! Coming to camera...worst of the 2 MP class. I can’t bet to compare this cam with any 2 MP cam of a sony ericsson mobile. Nokia is just cheating the buyers. Even the slightest of hand movement while taking the picture will end up producing a totally blurred snap.
To add to it there is no flash...the screen is nice with 16 million colors but to save on battery life Nokia has set a very low brightness level for the screen which the user cannot modify..compare the brightness of the screen with any other model of Nokia and you will realize it. Overall it’s phone with nice looks but worst performance. Only good feature is it’s music clarity over earphones. My sincere advice is not to buy Nokia they show up their models to illude buyers. To add the package contains a standard charger with three pins.Ofcourse the third pin is non-functional but it disallows you from charging your phone in train or some other place where only 2-pin plug is available...bonus bonanza....I’ve decided to dispose this piece off as early as possible and go for a sony ericsson...
