I have been using this phone for two days now and I like it very much. Amazon did a commendable job in shipping (Free). Given below are the set of Pros and Cons that I found in my limited use till now:
PROS:
1. Good responsive and vibrant touchscreen: though sometimes i find it difficult to scroll with fingers when browsing. There is a neat feature of calibrating the touchscreen according to the amount of pressure you would like to apply for smooth response. You may surely want to try this before judging the touchscreen.
2. Excellent battery backup. Charging time of the battery is surprisingly low. It clocked 2.5 hrs for me to charge completely. The battery do drains fast when using the WiFi.
3. Decent WiFi Speed for a phone. YouTube seems to have some problem. The phone cannot play the video while buffering. So you have to wait for sometime till it buffers fully. I think its OK for a phone, though :)
4. Doesn’t look cheap at all. Rather feels solid in hand. The only two things that lower the classiness are a) the back battery cover, which has to be literally “ripped apart” for opening the battery compartment and b) the lock/unlock switch which is at a very inconvenient position. Nokia could have placed the switch on the top left side of the phone.
5. Loud and clear music quality.
CONS:
1. I am very disappointed at the quality of the main camera. It is definitely far short of a 3.2 MP one. I have seen Nokia phones with 1.3 MP camera taking better pictures.
2. The software portion for organizing music seems to be really stupid. It doesn’t allow you to maintain your folders as you copy them on to the memory stick. It arranges the music files according to albums, genres, composers, etc, which is annoying. This should be fixed in future versions of the s/w.
I haven’t got the opportunity test the GPS till now. In fact I am yet to find out on how to use the GPS offline without having to incur any carrier-data cost. Can anyone help me in this regard?
Overall this phone is worth every penny.
