User reviews Excelente, 2008-09-02
Este teléfono es una belleza. El único "defecto" que le encuentro es que no tiene teclado qwerty. Por lo demás, supera con creces a muchos aparatos que son más caros. Good phone, 2008-09-01
Guys,
I'm completely satified with phone and with dealer. So thanks to you all.
Nokia made a good smart phone and Amazon shipped it to me in a vary nice manner - fast and safe.
Thanks. Meets Expectations, 2008-09-01
I wanted a phone that does its main job well and all the secondary things were less important to me. This phone provides good call quality and at the same time has decent enough features. It provides 2 MP camera, WIFI connection can be made if need be, you can play music if you want to, you can make video calls or push to talk (but US networks do not suppport video calls yet). User interface is good also. Only con I found is that power on key has to be pressed at a certain angle and one has to apply force. You are going to either love this phone or hate this phone, 2008-08-22
You are either going to love this phone or hate this phone. I love mine. But I am going to write this review with an eye towards scaring away people who will hate this phone.
This phone's feature set is balanced differently than most other phones in its price class. Other phones in this price class emphasize megapixels, music, video, and fashion. This phone emphasizes productivity and connectivity. If you want productivity and connectivity, here is your phone. If not, there are plenty of others to choose from here on Amazon and elsewhere.
Let's start with what this phone does well -
This phone remotely synchronizes with Microsoft Exchange. If your company uses Exchange, you will have one phone book, one appointment calendar, and one e-mail inbox equally available on your computer and your phone. Updates in either place show up in the other. The Nokia implementation even handles contacts that have a company name but no first-name or last-name fields. My Motorola RARZ2 V8 failed this test.
The phone has Wi-Fi. I didn't know how much I would use Wi-Fi on my phone until I had it.
The phone can display word, excel, and PDF documents. It runs Google Maps very well, but without a GPS chip, you can only locate your position within about 900 to 5000 meters.
The phone has a real message waiting light. Why is this feature disappearing from modern phones?
The phone supports high speed 3.5G data on two bands. This is a lot for a European phone, especially one that came to market last year. Sadly, high speed data service is pretty much nonexistent here in the United States, and much of what does exist is on a band this phone can't handle. But will you get EDGE data (and voice) nearly everywhere in the United States and abroad. Indeed, reception in fringe areas is significantly better than my wife's Nokia 6086. I have connected to ATT's HSPDA network in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Madison, and Minneapolis. I can't connect in Chicago because the network runs on an incompatible frequency there (1900Mhz).
Battery life is outstanding, especially for a thin phone.
Now lets move on to this phone's weak points -
The camera is only 2 megapixels. And it is fixed focus at that. And it doesn't work well in the dark. And there is only one of them [most phones capable of sending video have two - one facing outward and one facing you]. The camera is good enough for me, but I would never put shots from it in the family album.
The music player doesn't display album art. No flashy light show either. And you are limited to the built-in speaker or a 2.5mm audio jack (I think it helps 'em keep the phone thin - forget about it and use A2DP if you want headphones). I must admit, however, that I really miss gapless playback. Music loads into the phone very slowly on account of the older 1.5 megabyte per second USB limit.
The phone will record video. I have not been able to record video at Nokia's claimed quality (15 fps QVGA). I think I have been lied to. I think Nokia means either 15 FPS or QVGA, but not both at the same time.
The phone will play video, even from YouTube, but not at high bitrates.
Be prepared for plenty of British spelling in the menus and applications.
This phone's idea of fashion is understated basic black. I like it, but then again I am this phones target audience.
excellent deal, 2008-08-18
The nature of my work makes me move and stay to different countries for months at a time so i needed an unlocked phone. I found that's not something easy to get in US. Phone stores would even sell you a locked phone at a full prize if you don't buy a contract, that's ridiculous. I've been to he Nokia store in NYC and I would have paid 100USD more than on Amazon for the same product. I'm very happy with my purchase, the phone came in perfect condition in a sealed box. The Symbian program allows you to synchronize documents with your computer, it's a great tool. I would recommend buying a protection for the screen, gets scratched easily (Invisible Shield is great)
