HANDS ON REVIEW
I was lucky to try out this phone and I have to say it was pretty impressive(don't ask where I tried it out just know I did)
Here are the main advantages;
1.Good keypad layout
2.Quick functioning even with multiple applications running in the background
3.Excellent music playback
4.Very sturdy design with rough sides to enhance grip
5.Very good user interface that is easy to use
Here are the main disadvantages;
1.The camera is not that good for a 2 MP phone but thats a problem for all Nokia phones
2.The battery life also tends to run out quick
All in all this is a great phone thats going at quite a low price compared to the features that it carries and I would have to say that it would be a good choice for the young due to its cool look and features
