Having used it for exactly 10 months now, re-installed the OS twice. So what, it takes not more than 5 minutes with my Idea 3G network but on 2G scheme, giving me regular 120kbps/15KBps.
3G works up to 10.1 Mbps if your network can ever let you use that much, I have used over 2Mbps and it gets too hot, remove the back cover and don’t use at a stretch at such speeds. Just my opinion, nothing was damaged but I feared.
Camera is cool in daylight!
Flash is great on nearer objects when in dark.
Yes the paint is coming off, but you know why?
Because this phone never lets me keep my hands off it!
Keypad is the awesomest ever in this age of extinct good numerics, do try yourself at a Croma before you buy. Enhanced to 5MP now at same price!
Well, yes, WiFi is missing, but come on, you move with the phone but the WiFi area doesn’t! Does it? GPS is awesome with Google Maps and when in good network, locates me in 20m radius. Yes you heard me right!
Opera 5 and 10 work as awesome as ever. Seems they too design their browsers for Nokia devices. It’s just so smooth and swift!
Expandable to 8GB, hot swappable slot.
External Music Keys: become a must when you are already multitasking in the bus/metro/train on Opera GoogleMap Music Player Radio and someone asks you something! You need not close any app! Easy?
The steel back is sturdy and suave!
Battery backup is not exemplary but mostly due to my multitasking. While only using voice, it hasn’t dissapointed, going up to 4 hours!
Micro USB provided, 3.5mm jack, pretty cool very long wired charger along with make it a steal!
Screen is a little small and that is where the bucks have been saved in this phone. It has overall, a dissapointing display.
If you like streaming, I can almost challenge any other brand to stream from Youtube at such speeds, all thanks to the in-built RealPlayer! It buffers a 10min clip for 30 seconds and then plays it non stop! Beat that!
All softwares and games you wanted are compatible thanks to the updated Symbian v 9.3 firmware 071.005. It hangs if put to Windows test. By that I mean using 4 applications at once!
256MB RAM and 600Mhz ARM, at 7300 bucks, it is indeed rocket science in your hands!
All major formats supported, Nokia E series shortcuts provided.
The new Chat App is simply amazing, can handle 2-5 chat accounts at a time, not FB though. For Fb, get an Ebuddy and you are all set to rock social worlds.
Ovi, Search, Dictionary, Nokia Maps and yes the 2GB inclusive card come along with!
Aren’t a touch savvy, big screen person, and can bear charging every 20-24 hours, this is the best budget phone Nokia ever made in the Rs 7000 bracket!
