Design and Looks
The phone is of candy bar shape and the exterior is sparse; there are almost no buttons on the phone's sides. The keys on the keypad are virtually flat and it is impossible to type without looking at it. What's more is that the keys of the keypad are frustratingly small and won't please people with large fingers. On the other hand, the D-pad is very comfortable to use.
It's obvious that in the bid to make the phone sleek, a lot has been forgone, but it almost feels like too much has been sacrificed. The phone has a small battery life, but that's not surprising given the phone's thickness. Data transfer, charging of the phone's battery and plugging of the earphones is done by using a common microUSB port found at the top of the phone, which by the way is yet another space saving measure. And to save even more of it, there is also the absence of a card slot, but thank heavens for small favours, Nokia at least gives its users 1GB of internal memory.
The camera is a disappointment too, it's of only 2MP resolution, add to that you cannot even videocall with it despite the fact that the phone has 3G connectivity. The phone's vibration is also pretty weak but fortunately the speakerphone can be audible even in really noisy environments.
A great phone if you can forgo the functionality.
