Nokia C2-02 Review

Touch. Type. Nokia. All at Rs.3400.


My Ratings: 3/5

I needed a phone to gift to my younger sister. Her requirements were very basic- messaging, calling and listening music/ videos. As she is not internet savvy, I have to choose a very basic and user friendly phone for her that comes cheap but doesn’t look that cheap. There were many phones in market but I zeroed upon Nokia C2-02 touch and type having slider form factor.

Basic specifications 
 
1. Screen:   2.6" 65K-color resistive touchscreen    
2. Operating System:  Symbian series 40   
3. Camera:  2 MP fixed focus, 15fps video recording   
4. Connectivity:  Bluetooth 2.1, GPRS, EDGE, microUSB   
5. Storage:  10MB internal, 32GB external support   
6. Others:  Stereo FM radio with in-built recorder, Alphanumeric keypad
 
Features and functions

The phone is very well built and looks quite attractive with matte finish battery cover. It doesn’t look cheap like many other mobile phones in this segment. There are only two physical keys provided for volume control and screen locking. The slider works quite smooth but with time it may not work so smooth. The USP of the designing is golden chrome plating at bottom of this phone.

Apple iPhone 4S Review


iPhone: Need, Luxury or Show-off???

My Ratings: 3/5

Many of you know that I am a gadget freak and love to possess one and all. I have written reviews of many mobiles but this one is special as it is the costliest mobile I had ever possessed. I was (still am) proud owner of Nokia N8 but many Apple lovers had asked me to try iPhone so it became a desire for me. Finally I decided to fulfill this desire of mine and purchases Apple iPhone 4S. As you all know that earlier days of acquiring anything are the most exploring days so I am sharing my views on this costliest mobile. I am not mentioning specifications or performances of this mobile (you can read that on many places), I am just discussing my own personal views.

Limitations

No user profiles- Choosing a profile as per your situation are a basic function of any mobile. Everyone used to have lot many combinations of ringtones, volumes, vibrations etc. but iPhone doesn’t give you the liberty for all that. There is only two options- Loud & Silent.
