CNET Asia Review

The good: Slim design; sharp color screen; easy-to-use keypad; slick-looking user interface that keeps it simple.

The bad: No auto-focus or flash on the camera; lack of 3G connectivity.

The bottom line: While this isn't the most advanced handset out there, it has a strong casing, a decent all-round feature set and an elegant, straightforward design. This is Nokia at its best.

Solid Bulit Phone

Apr 25, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Like the Solid look
Cons: Could have been a 3G phone
Opinion:
Bought this phone 2 weeks ago and am very satisfied with the performance. The functions are user friendly and easy to use. I dont have any complain on the battery life cause my previous phone had battery life about the same. Sound is loud and clear. FM radio and MP3 are great to have. Camera is average. Overall, I like the feel and the design. Nokia could have complete it with the 3G feature in it.

Pros: Relatively cheap, good basic functions
Cons: Dont have multiple alarms

I work in the construction industry and have to make and receive many calls. I am use to charging my HP everyday ( i had several HPs like nokia, motorola & samsung) and for this phone i dont have any issue with its battery life cos its better than the previous HPs i have. Infact cnet.com.au review that this phone has a good battery life so i dont know why some bros have negative points on it.

I bought this phone a few days ago and I am very satisfied with it. For me things like calender and memo functions are important and this phone meets my needs.

I feel that a HP should act like a HP and its silly to pay extra $$$ for a 5megapixel sony phone. If u are into taking photos go and buy a digicam and dont try to substitute it by using a "kamera" phone cos the quality and ... Read more

 

Typical Nokia

Feb 23, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Good Looks, Sleek, Good Display
Cons: Poor Battery Life
Opinion:
The looks, features etc., are of no use if the battery life is poor. Not good for 8am-8pm business people unless you don't mind charging the batteries frequently.
