Value for Money Phone

In the age of Smart Phones, this cute little thing stands out in the crowd for the people who wants a basic phone for calls and text. This is indeed my best buys. Not because of the price point, but for the longer battery life, distinct keypad and louder ringtone, which makes it very ideal for not so techie.nnThis I brought for gifting purpose to my parents. On using this product, they had a feedback which reads "WOW!!!" It "IS" the phone which could be made best use by them.nnOne point worth mentioning in the longer battery life for talk time, which clocks up to 8/8.5 hrs.nnIf you are looking for a phone, that has a tough quality along with a longer battery life and quality basic features like FM, loud ring tome, larger text display etc, then this is the product worth buying.nnLast but not the least, special note for Flipkart, by making this product available. Am not only amazed to receive the product in 4 days flat but also beyond expectation, product was packed on the month of purchase. Kudos Flipkart, for considering the requirement of all the segment of buyers.

No nonsense simple Phone

I have multiple phones include iphone. and I just fed up and tired with using all the application, internet and nonsense things. I wanted a relief for my life and body. so I went ahead to get a simple PHONE. nI never owned Nokia in past for the reason they make stupid OS. However I really appreciate their S30 OS and monochrome display. nLooks - Good build, soft keys and trendy look.nSoftware - Easy to use, classic nokia interface.nBonuses from old Nokia phones -n1. Handy inbuilt torch , 2. FM Radio 3. 3.5 mm jack 4. Call conferencing 5. essential applications 6. inbuilt CMOS battery 7. Monochrome display - read in sunlight 8. Monochrome display - Switch off backlight to save powernnAdvantages on Smart or 3G phones - n1. You do not need to carry a charger everywhere. And no fear of it being stolen (No micro SD card)n3. You can think of yourself when you dont have anything to do.n4. Fits in to your pockets easily.n5. You can make calls and send sms faster wayn6. No need to check facebook and other nonsense repeatedly.nnWhat I didn’t like -n1. Call quality not up to the mark, they must focus on call quality.cheap priced phone doesn't mean it should have cheap call quality.n2. No headset supplied.n3. Battery is 800mAh, it could have been 1020mAhnOverall I am happy with it. It attracts 5 points not because it is best in the segment, but because it offers simplicity. All the best with your purchase!!

A Minimalists's Dream Come True!

Became a proud owner of this nifty little device just a month back and I'm absolutely loving the experience. nnThe first thing that strikes you after you assemble the phone is that it weighs almost nothing! It snugly fits in your palm and can be comfortably carried around in the pocket without ever being bogged down by its weight. nnIt lasted 8 days on its first charge and I've been literally charging it once a week ever since! nnThe large keypad is the USP of this phone - its a joy typing on this thing! nnAnd the software is surprisingly fast & responsive too, unlike Nokia's previous monochrome models. nnSunlight legibility is great.nnThe build is quite sturdy too. nnIt also comes with the usual handy flashlight (a life-saver, with the frequent power outages these days), the speaking clock and the FM Radio. Although, there's no headset supplied with the package, any standard headset that you find in the market would do, since, it has a 3.5mm jack. nnAnd for those complaining about the low call/loudspeaker volume and radio output volume, well, there are separate volume adjustment options for that. Just press the left/right navigation keys to decrease/increase the volume respectively. The phone's pretty loud, I'm sure you wouldn't need to max out the volume levels.nnAll in all, a no-frills simplistic phone for the minimalist lover. This phone totally delivers on its promise. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Most beautiful thing on earth!

I'm in love with this phone. Even if I don't have anything to do with it, I just keep it in my hand and just go through the menu. I bought it not as a secondary phone, but because I wanted to own one. It makes me feel so peaceful with its limited features. Its got a torch!!! Its really very handy. Soft keypad, pleasant white colored back light. The games Snake, Bounce and Cricket are such a relief and distraction from our day to day activities. And it costs just 1k! My mom started disliking her Multimedia Phone after seeing this Phone! You can buy Apple, Orange or Banana anytime, but u'll lose nothing by buying this one! Own one yourself before they stop manufacturing it! Thanks Flipkart! This was a great Purchase!

Simple needs...simple phone!

I bought this phone for my grandma recently and its totally worth the money. Her basic requirements were that it has a loud enough ring tone, a flashlight (so that she can use it at night when she wakes up for the bathroom) and simple speed dial so that she won't have to search for names and numbers. This little thing has all of it, is sturdy and has a very good batter life too. It even has those small images that you can assign to your contacts...it helps my grandma figure out who's calling her when she sees the image, since she can't read English. Works well for her...nnI'd say if your requirements are as simple as the above, then go for it, its totally worth the buy. And kudos to flipkart really...the product was delivered the very next day...cheers!
