Title

store reviews In Stock . Review Abstract Nokia is known mainly for its high end smartphones and inexpensive flip models in the U. but the new Nokia is set to change that. This unlocked phone is just what it appears to be a high quality beautifully constructed featherweight handset. It s a joy to use with a near perfect keypad and a refreshing unfussy design. It also packs in a music player with a microSD card slot Bluetooth . EDR a megapixel camera and one of the nicest inch displays I ve seen. You ll pay the price in battery life and the camera could stand some improvement. ounce stainless steel body feels well balanced in the hand and its small . inches HWD form factor could win over some flip phone fans used to tiny designs. The handset radiates the kind of quality you d expect when paying several hundred dollars for a gadget. The numeric keypad is another winner. Another highlight is the screen. There are built in ringtones most of decent quality as! well as alert sounds. The is a tri band GSM handset with EDGE data but no HSDPA support. Callers said I sounded crisp and clear and the phone exhibited good external noise rejection and solid reception. I paired the with a Plantronics Bluetooth headset the combination sounded superb in both directions. The speakerphone sounded okay though clipped at maximum volume and it was too soft for outdoor use. Ringtones came through loud and clear. I recorded a continuous talk time of hours minutes which is a bit on the short side. As a music player the does pretty well with support for MP eAAC and WMA files. Also it comes with only a single wired earbud and mic for hands free calls. The has a mobile standard . mm jack not the larger . mm jack you ll find on an iPod or other music device. Stick with wired headphones. There s also room for contacts in the address book and a built in Opera Web browser. The microSD card slot underneath the battery cover supports cards up ! to GB in size. The s MP camera sensor is enough to capture by pixel p hotos. Unfortunately I found the photos had a worn textured paper look in different lighting conditions. You won t want to use this camera for anything crucial. The phone records the usual by frame per second second thumbnail videos. Internal memory is an issue. Nokia rates the s talk time at just hours minutes. Despite that the Nokia is a class act through and through.
