Rating: - Supersmart but Freezes a lot
This phone has all the bells and whistles anyone would want in their hands however the operating system seems to have glitches and there are no US software updates on the website. I had to return it just because of that factor. Hopefully Nokia will release a new software update and fix the glitches and stop the freezing of the phone or else I think they are expecting a lot of returns on their products.
Rating: - A very particular piece of high technology
I must admit that I'm a Nokia diehard fan, so my review could be considered as biased by some people, nonetheless I'll try to be as objective as possible.
Cons:
- Excellent price (I paid only $300, it was an offer I couldn't let pass)
- Symbian smartphone: everything you could possibly need to comply with today's demands regarding internet connection (the Wi-Fi feature is just perfect as well as Nokia's web browser), the MS Office and PDF compatibility is something basic in this world, and the GPS adds a great value.
- Huge capacity with the microSD slot (I use an 8GB, High Capacity, Class 4 microSD card)
- The functions installed by Nokia are simply magnificent: from the FM transmitter to the music player, everything is just superb.
- Huge connectivity.
- The screen is very clear, and it's size is what I really love!
- The option to personalize your menu's and almost every single aspect of your interface is an incredible advantage.
Cons:
- Firmware still has some serious issues (i.e bugs)
- The back cover is not a tight close, I mean that it moves a little which is (in my opinion) very annoying while writing a text message, just to give an example.
- The surface get dirty with almost every single thing you can think about. Just holding the phone to check it's status will leave a mark. I particularly hate this,
- The camera is not as good as I expected. The focus is sometimes hard to adjust, depending on light condition and object's proximity.
- Volume (not many options, only 10 different levels).
Others (cons/pros, it depends on you):
- Size (bigger than my old Nokia 6300, smaller then many other Smartphones)
- Looks (depends on what you want your phone for: style or functionality)
- Keyboard and soft keys (it's different, let face it. You get used to it with some practice and patience)
Rating: - Fantastic phone
I have had this phone for a month now and I love it. It has lots of features like FM transmitter, MP3 player, GPS, Wi-Fi connectivity, Camera, Video, additional microSD memory slot, softwares like Quickoffice, Adobe reader, etc. People have complained about the small keys on the phone but I have no problem with those keys. Amazon listed this product with the lowest price at the time and shipped it well on time. In all I have no complain except for Amazon has reduced its price by $20 now...
