Smart, feature-packed phone, shame about the robustness
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
I purchased this phone to replace a Nokia 6300 which had been damaged. Having received it I was very impressed. It is thin and compact. Styling was obviously very important - the designers have rounded off corners, reduced the number of external ports so the device is uncluttered and used the black/silver colouring to demonstrate quality and style.
It is packed with the usual Nokia software which is very good. However it also includes Opera Mini a far superior mobile web browser to the onboard Nokia equivalent.
However after having used it for a number of days, I noticed several weaknesses in the phone. Having only one external port, it requires a dedicated charger -you can't plug in a "standard" or "new" Nokia charger (annoying if you run short of battery away from home; standard chargers are so ubiquitous you can usually find one...).
Furthermore, the build quality is questionable. The combined end call/on off button lost its "springyness" and required a lot of force to operate. Then one day, I put the phone down on my desk. Later I noticed that the LCD screen had cracked, rendering the device useless.
So in summary, a stylish, lightweight, small and functional phone. But fragile and lacking build quality.
