Very poor! 1

Here, it was thought, could beat with a beautiful, slim candy bar phone in the gap left behind by overloaded, over-priced, huge and impractical smartphones Nokia. Think again!
Shortcomings:
- The battery life of max. 1-2 days in pure standby mode (no calls, no SMS, no Internet connection) is not even in the most generous interpretation 10% of manufacturer's specifications and is therefore an impertinence!

- There is no way, between the phone and the computer via 'Nokia Suite' (incompatible) or with other software to enable synchronization of data / contacts. The internal memory and SD card may only be recognized as mass storage and that's it. Later Nokia Suite compatibility is not provided, according to Nokia.

- To transfer your contacts via Bluetooth from another phone (? As the Nokia brand), will not work and the phone reads no vCard files or the like. So you have to copy to the SIM, then transferred to the 301 memory, etc. Of course, goes only with basic data (such as name + 1 number), depending on the SIM card capacity with piecemeal contacts. Advanced contact information must be transmitted for each contact manually.

- The voice quality was fine with me. The supplied headset headphones can however equal throw in the trash. Oddly swayed the audio quality of MP3 files being played by the day of mediocre to bad sound.

- The menu of the phone is at first sight indeed handsome, but not very intelligent designed or clearly. Man looking at definitely around for some time, if you look for not a day to be used functions. The software of the audio player appears to have quirks. Times it depends, sometimes the sound changes, sometimes it can not be operated in the key lock mode.

More Apps or the camera I did not tested, so I was served after a few days from the Nokia 301! According to Nokia's support forum is in the technical deficiencies definitely not isolated incidents. Well, a pity.

This Nokia Asha series could market technically break what. Instead, they have the Nokia 301 completely down the drain. Without Wifi, a functional and functioning (!) Software solution, a rear LED turn, a convenient sync feature and above all without a battery, by holding more than 48 hours, the Nokia 301 is just colorful scrap.
