OK cell phone

The review of achougoo covered most of the points and I would like to fill up the rest for the sake of brevity

  1. User friendliness – Nokia in general are great to handle. The organization of menus and I love the Call Register option with numbers neatly organized for future reference storage.

  2. Profiles – While I like the possibility of ring tones. The concept of profiles is not as useful as it is hyped simply because you forget to change the profile from say meeting to general outdoors etc. When you place the cellphone in the shelf at home, being in vibratory mode will make you miss some calls.

  3. Address book – While the phone memory in use is SIM card, I cannot associate a voice tag. When the phone memory in use is phone, I will not see the name when the phone rings rather the number. Bug?

  4. Voice and Fax – This is crap. With the speed offered by all network providers, using cellphone for voice and data transmissions is extremely slow. You can showoff by having your laptop connected by cell phone and browsing internet while traveling but it is too costly and too inconvenient. Spending for this doesn’t make sense. GPRS phones are better.

  5. Reception – By far the most wanted feature in places like India where signals are usually weak inside buildings. Nokia is very very bad in reception. When you can talk in Siemens, Nokia will refuse to show you operators logo at the same point. Once 4 of us got stuck in the lift and we decided to see which receives the signal better. (This happened in Europe where signals are available well inside the buildings but weak in lift shafts). We concluded the best in reception in the order are:

Siemens, Motorola, Ericsson and least effective is Nokia.

  1. WAP – Forget it. If you are the kind of guy who checks out TV timetable and yahoo mails in WAP by paying exorbitant connection costs, you may need this feature else nokia provides you the most unstable platform for browsing. You get connection resets more frequently than siemens. But Siemens do not know what is user friendliness. You cant have all.

  2. Build – I am not happy with 6210. The back cover starts to shake after sometime. It happened to 4 guys in my office who own this model. I did not find this problem in 3330. Nokia has to improve on this.

Overall, if you are a kind of guy overawed by mobile technology and graphics, custom logos, ring tones, menu and user friendliness, you will like Nokia. If you are really into experiencing the freedom of great reception. I advise you NOT to choose Nokia. It is heavily overpriced and depends on guys who like interface – same class who will have 50 Rs coffee in Barista, prefer 400 Rs pizza for a meal, zip in 70K bikes for 50m before breaking for next signal.
