- Delivery
Bought the phone was Amazon (thanks for the fast delivery, Top as always!) Were included apart from the usual charger and the driver CD nor a headset, a 25 voucher for the Nokia Music Store and a strap on which was already a plectrum. A stylus is also here as - nowadays no longer a matter of course - a data cable. Also an 8GB microSD memory card was already used in mobile phones. To complain about for the price so a neat package, at the most the data cable, which is kept extremely short (about 20cm), but this does not bother me, because my PC has USB ports in the lid and thus I anyway on the phone PC lege. For me, the short cable so has the advantage that I do not have so much clutter. Annoying the cable length is, however, for people who have about no front USB, or just those in the middle. Also will not charge the phone via the data cable, so if you with the PC Synchronizes you should make sure that the battery is still full enough.
- Operation
The operation has already been criticized in several reviews, I for my personal feeling, this may however not understand what possibly may lie together with the fact that the Nokia's my first touch. The often disputed double in deeper menus, I find at least good if he'd been opening each choice the first touch, then I would often end in the wrong menus, because the finger is just not exactly making the selection. This is perfectly prevented by the double. In the end, the clicking together like but also be only a matter of practice - as well as the double is a matter of getting used.
Basically, the phone turns super operate with your thumb, if the buttons are less plugged in the battery cover or a pen and also the pick can be used in between super fast inputs. The usual small keyboard can show as much as a QWERTY keyboard, which is also good to take in the landscape with his thumb. A handwriting recognition, there is also, I never use it, however, since the other input options are fast.
- MP3 Player
For a mobile phone really a super quality. Previously had a Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson and there is definitely a difference audible, both speakers, as well as via the included headset convinces me the Nokia. The 3.5mm stereo jack connection also considerably higher headsets can be connected, presumably again improve the sound, but good enough for me already offered from easy.
- Video Player
Absolutely sharp images, here you realize why Nokia has a mobile phone thrown in a resolution of 640x360 pixels.
- Camera
For the snapshot in bright light it is enough and I do not expect more from a cell phone. For photographs I use more my camera.
- Navi
Previously tested for 2 short distances of approx 10km. Both came with great success to your destination (home). On the first line came exactly on the doorstep the announcement that I have reached the goal, which in proper Navis partially was not the case (the Navi of an acquaintance will basically continue to send him 300 meters, is in the countryside but not tragic) , On the 2nd distance 3km from the finish taken a short cut instead of as indicated to use the main roads. Prompt came the announcement "re-routing" and yet in the same breath I was kindly pointed out, that was a new route found. The announcements could be a tad louder only policy.
The GPS fix takes me each about 3 minutes (without A-GPS), but is not a problem, if I go somewhere traveling I know the general direction anyway and the route is clear before I arrived at the highway exit.
So whoever issues the A-GPS has a fully functioning and free from all Navi on his cell phone since all maps are on the memory card and nothing needs to be recharged.
- Internet Browser
The pre-installed browser is very stable with me and can scroll through well. When any Internet application start you can select which connection you want to use (for example, W-LAN / WiFi).
- Design and manufacturing
Optics is a matter of taste as with any device. I like the more simple look actually quite good. The build quality is relatively good for, which was only used plastic. Only on the battery cover, it seems to rattle a bit when you press on the touch screen. Maybe my imagination but also only one and that is the vibration outputs the mobile phone as a confirmation that you have pressed a little :)
- White Screen problem
Stopped probably already several hats me also once caught. Troubleshooting there should be several:
1. battery out, Sim card out, wait 2 minutes, everything back in, restart phone.
2. Memory Card out, start phone when it runs, card again during the operation clean.
3. Formatting Memory Card (best from the mobile phone, folder structure etc. will be restored directly. Can you so when buying new ones without making losses directly).
Had decided on Option 3 and since then no longer had the problem. Usually, however, the cell phone is always on anyway and is rarely exhibited times.
- Conclusion
For the price a great phone with many features, but also has the small weaknesses. Most of these weaknesses have on my usage but little influence, so the only logical consequence can only be a 5 star and a strong buy recommendation for me.
I hope my first review has helped and please, even if it has become very long you.
