Most Disappointing Nokia Ive Ever Owned

4.3 out of 10

Ive had this phone for less than a year and Ive already had to swap it twice due to the same issues. Ive have preferred Nokias for over 10 years and this is by far the worse ever made.This phone is alright for the modest user who only make a few phone calls but it is horrible for the user like myself who likes to put to use many of its functions and relies on the calendar and reminders on a daily basis. This phone has thoroughly disappointed me.



Pro's

1. Clear screen resolution

2. Very Compact

3. Solid design

4. Easy volume control on the side

5. Low cost



Con's

1. Difficult to hear conversations clearly even at maximum volume.

2. Freezes frequently from just navigating through menus too quickly.

3. Alarm functions work at random. Ive used all my previous cell phones as my alarm clock to wake up, never having an issue. This phone caused me to be late various times in the first week I owned it from lack of going off. I was forced to buy a separate alarm clock for the 1st time in over 10 years.

4. Reminders hardly ever go off on the date & time they are programmed and tend to almost always go off at midnight.

5. Poor Battery Life for those who speak frequently. The battery warning goes off only minutes before the phone dies.

6. Cannot text quickly on it because the programming cannot keep up, thus it misses typed characters.

7. Ring tones randomly sound sluggish and broken up as if the phone struggles to run the program producing it.

8. The small speaker holes frequently get easily covered due to their small size, thus the phone calls cannot be heard.

9. Some menu functions are cumbersome and/or poorly organized.

Nokia has definitely reduced their quality in this phone. Ive already had to swap this phone twice in a few months & all 3 phones had the same issues they cant address. This phone is alright for the very modest cell phone user who simply makes phone calls infrequently & nothing else. For those like myself who frequently use various functions, this phone is sub-par & by far the worse brick-style phone Nokia has ever created. I have been drastically disappointed.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

You'll be tempted to by the price and the look of the thing -its small and sleek- but thats where it ends. The battery life is terrible. You can charge it one night andf the next day it will die, have more than 3 conversations in one day and expect not to have a phone by that night. Thats the worst part of it ***** BATTERY LIFE!

It drops basically every other phone call; I live in New York City -hardly a dead-zone- yet I have to call friends back 4 and 5 times because the signal is just so bad.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHONE. You'll spend all day staring at the battery indicator worried that the next half a phone call you make will cut out. Spend the little extra and get something else

Pros

Tiny!

Cons

Terrible battery life!!!!!
Drops calls constantly!
