Battery life
Thanks to the excellent energy-efficient is the 225 has a very long standby time. After unpacking and charging, we have the Nokia once tested and extensively decorated, where the display was on a relatively long time. After cast. 14 days and a few short phone calls (all under 5 minutes) is the smallest battery now on display.
Voice quality
In network of O2, we can no noise, pops or other noise perceive. The reception is consistently clear and also the listening volume is alright. The same applies to the other person on the other side.
WLAN / Bluetooth / microUSB
This point could be at the one or other purchase crucial. WLAN There is no fact. Bluetooth is meant for the data transfer between phone and PC, but can not be used in conjunction with a hands-free device. A free calling via the built-in speakers is, however, perfectly possible and it works well. For incoming calls, this can immediately be activated, with outgoing telephone calls, the menu item is displayed only after the other party has accepted the call. The data connection between the PC and phone via microUSB cable is working properly. The phone asks if only it loaded, or to be used as mass storage. Once you have clicked on the latter, the inserted Micro-SD card in the Explorer on the PC can be seen.
Contacts / Bildkontake
Contact Pro can only be assigned a number. The contact name can not exceed 16 characters. Which makes it a not easy, so since you have to create 3 contacts for fixed, mobile and work. Photos can only be assigned to contacts that are stored on the phone (ie no contacts that are only on the SIM). If a number is both on the phone (with photo) and the SIM will be saved (without photo) for incoming calls preferably the SIM, which is why no picture appears. Have therefore all contacts only stored on the phone and deleted the SIM contacts accordingly. Incoming calls will now always show us with name and photo.
Own sounds
Judging from the menu on "files" - "memory card" can be set up own MP3s as your ringtone. Mark file (uncheck) - "Options" - "use as a sound". Then select "Ringer", "Message alert" or "alarm" appears.
TIP:
Who wants to save on the phone photos for contacts, backgrounds, or their own sounds, unfortunately needs an micro SD card. Who else wants nothing save big on should consider before buying a new 8GB card just once briefly if maybe somewhere at home still lying around a seemingly useless Uralt card. We took a 10 year 64MB card, which you require for this purpose!
DUAL-function:
Here you can choose which SIM to use for what. You can click on each separately, whether SIM1 or SIM2 will be used, or whether each should be asked time for telephone, SMS and Internet connection. If one only a Sim is displayed next to the icon, the text "No SIM Card.". Why Nokia instead of "map", "Kart." writes me remains a mystery. An "e" also takes up no more space than a point.
Haptics / Design / Display
The Nokia 225 is almost as big as a small 4-inch smartphone, and is thus also well in hand. The closely spaced keys have a good pressure point, are lit and the matt white model. Even if they seem a bit shaky makes the unit as a whole has a relatively sophisticated look. The display is made of simple plastic and has a resolution of 240x320 pixels. The dargestellen on Amazon wallpapers there is not the way. Instead, there are three (boring) privately. There is the Internet Fortunately. Simply enter times in the Google Image Search "240x320" :-)
Battery Cover
Some customers have had problems with it so aufzubekommen the lid. I have a Nokia set using the display down on the sofa. Then press with your thumb on the Nokia lettering of the cover and pull with the index and a Mittelfinter the two upper corners of the cover. Once the thing a bit loose, do the same with the other upper corner. Have both upper corners easily solved, can be removed relatively nice lid. Important: Loosen the upper corners, because here "tabs" are less that fix the cover, as shown below.
Conclusion:
Since we use the device with an old Genion contract as landline phone, especially the voice quality and battery life were important to us. Here the little Nokia provides a convincing quality, in which the call is really good fun. Unfortunately, this does not apply to the design of the contact list. To have available each name several times in the list, because you can only assign each contact a number, acts quickly become confusing. After all, appears when you open up to 1,000 contacts below equal a "Search" window so that you get by pressing the "8" also quickly became the letter "T", without having to scroll long. Since we have speakerphone and headset anyway rarely used and use of the Internet PC and Smartphone, we give the chic-looking white Nokia at the end of 4 out of 5 stars.
Buy recommendation?
Who the Nokia 225 will only use to make phone calls and texting, gets a solid device, which convinces with excellent voice quality and battery life. The outdated list is initially disturbing, but we have surprisingly quickly arranged us with it and accept it as a given now.
Who, however, emphasis on the use of a Freisprecheinrichgung or Bluetooth headset will be bitterly disappointed. Here, Nokia has not exactly covered itself with glory. The same applies to the use of the Internet via WiFi, which can also look in vain.
