It took me a while to decide to buy this Nokia Asha 302. I long to analyze consumer product reviews. My main selection criteria were to find a laptop at an affordable price (100 euros or more in a range between 70 and 80 euros), with excellent battery so a non-touch screen, the ability to write text messages more quickly with a QWERTY keyboard, a larger screen than a basic laptop, the ability to read and write my emails Wifi (free), from hotspots or places of public wifi connection (or private, asking the key wifi a friend).
The phone looks sturdy and mark the seriousness of a manufacturer (Nokia) has proven itself. It has a great design. I also wanted to listen to music and why not make some small snapshots pictures.
Well here everything is in this mobile phone. The Nokia Asha 302 is in my opinion the best value on the market. From day reception I rebooted the block battery (recommended in the instructions) and I tested most of the features I needed.
Independence it seems really very good after 2 weeks of use. But I am not glued to my phone and I always use my phone for my unlimited fixed calls. In my home phone captures 3.5G mobile I have a free pass for 2 hours 2 euros / month unlimited sms. The small qwerty keyboard is super good and I hit the sms 4 times faster than before. When a text message is very long it automatically becomes mms. A priori there are detected as by free mms but not billed. If that was the case there is an option at 0.99 euros / month for illite mms. But the phone warns that along buien sms transforms into mms. We can shorten some words in SMS mode and return to send more sms. The predictive function and word recognition is very useful. I have not yet found how to do with a focus where otherwise everything is like on a computer keyboard, but in miniature. A real gem.
For my mail accounts I could save smoothly on this phone. I use Yahoo and Gmail. By cons I found that some mails when I read them and moves them in my files on my computer as they remain unread on my such portable. This must be a transfer mail which can be handy if you accidentally delete an email. If no problems are erased on this small device.
I was able to transfer all my contacts from my old phone sony ericsson on the sim card and I had them all immediately in my Nokia Asha 302.
For music it has an exceptional sound quality in speaker even at high sound levels Congratulations! I also transmitted by Bluetooth personal ringing to wma (better than mp3 but the device reading course the mp3 and other formats)
The camera device is only 3.2 megapixels but I was scthoché by the quality of photos. By cons you better have a good light otherwise obviously it is better to use a single photo camera and dedicated to this task. But, outside or with good light pictures are a surprising quality.
To go on the internet it is there that a little fishing. It is not very fast but we can still view pages without problems for urgent or special research but rather is dedicated to reading and writing emails. It has all the features to have links with social networks facebook ...
It is very beautiful and white for me it is a small jewel of technology.
To be totally clear, I did not order this product on Amazon (in whom I have every confidence text see below), which was more expensive on Amazon. Right now there is even an offer where Nokia will refund 20 euros for the purchase of this phone. If I'm actually repaid this new Nokia Asha 302 alone will have cost me 60 euros (count 10 euros of shipping by Chronopost delivered in 2 days).
For the Nokia Asha 302 comes with an accessory charger mini jack 2.5mm sector. Knowing that a laptop on AC loads faster than on a laptop usb port. It comes with a headset that also serves as an antenna for FM radio as it also captures the radio.
For the protective cover I wanted a padded case those kind found in digital photographs devices. Hard to find at first because all dedicated covers found in the Internet commerce elsewhere are either too expensive are not fully protect the sides of the phone when dropped. I still found my happiness at Decathlon through mobile phone cases from the Newfeel brand found in several colors to 5.95 euros.
The wireless function is effective and great detects networks nearby. Once there was a security key he remembers.
Bluetooth works perfectly from the computer to the mobile phone. The mobile phone is recognized as an external Nokia device. By cons I wanted to send a photo or photos of my Nokia Asha 302 to the computer. The phone tells me that the computer is not equipped for. I will search the net if possible ... but there is a solution to a micro USB cord not supplied with the unit but expensive pplus see bottom in free shipping.
Time to accessories I ordered more, and this time on Amazon which is the best on the market. To prevent scratching of my screen I ordered a pack of 6 protection films that came to me from England very quickly (by plane) and are exactly the size of the Nokia Asha 302. For now the the unit is brand new and already equipped with a screen protector, I have them below the elbow from wear of the original wire.

I also ordered on amazon micro usb cable to transfer my photos from my mobile phone to my computer. As long as you do for a few cents close I ordered a Nokia branded original cable.

Then, on the site builder is recommended if you want to add memory to use a Nokia MU-44 MicroSD Memory Card 16GB card. It is well written in the record that there may be some sluggishness with another card. So much for that matter kitted out with accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Again Amazon is the cheapest. In addition they offer the memory card pack + Nokia branded micro usb cord on Amazon.

The Nokia Asha 302, received very good reviews genneral. The site [...] it received a score of 16/20 and 14/20 by the site by users. I give him the widely 16/20 or even 17/20. This is actually a small bijour technology, robust, with very good autonomy.
As for Amazon.com, it's a site that I use for several years and I am totally satisfied. In case of problems, they do not hesitate to support the cost of return but it's still rare enough that we encounter problems. The few times it was because I am very picky about the quality of operation of such a device or any headset. The after sales service is excellent Amazon. When products are available delivery is very fast with very rarely the case.
Amazon Congratulations you really be the best !!!
And thank you to further develop Nokia phones like the Asha 302 where one really has a physical keyboard and not like the trend is only directed touchscreens = over-consuming energy.
