Released in 2010, the C5 became a prime example of the manufacturer's greed. Although the phone is not bad in its own way, Nokia managed to instantly spoil the positive impression by announcing the price.
Design
Despite the fact that it belongs to inexpensive devices, the appearance turned out to be very solid. In addition to plastic, the case also contains metal elements. This gives it similarities with more expensive models from the E series.
The solidity of the C5 is diluted by the rounded shape and outline of the body. The device looks softer and is less noticeable. On the other hand, the device does not stand out at all against the background of its peers.
The user will also like the dimensions 00. The device is lightweight, only 89.3 grams. The thickness of 12.3 mm is a little let down, but for a cellular phone this is a completely acceptable characteristic.
The front part of the C5 model is covered with painted plastic, similar to metal. A panel with a black border is used to protect the display. A keyboard was placed under the screen, and at the top there was a front-facing camera and a speaker.
The top end was reserved for the charging socket, 3.5 mm input, as well as USB connector. Although the manufacturer significantly overloaded the side, this did not affect comfortable use.
On the left side there is only a place for a strap, and on the right there is a slot for a flash drive. The memory card goes deep into the device, and it will be very difficult to get it out without foreign objects. Problems will also arise with the volume control, which is deeply recessed into the body. The user will find it inconvenient to use the buttons.
At the back of the device, the manufacturer placed the main camera, flash, two speakers and a logo. The cover hiding the battery is made entirely of metal. However, the material is very susceptible to scratches. Damage to the lid is immediately noticeable.
Display
At 00, a 2.2-inch screen was installed. Unfortunately, the manufacturer saved money by installing a TFT matrix. This decision affects when working with the device in the sun. The Nokia C5 display loses brightness, but the situation is not critical. Outdated technology has also reduced viewing angles. Even with a slight tilt, the image is noticeably distorted.
The pixel resolution is 320 by 240. Considering the small diagonal, the picture is acceptable. If you look closely at the screen, you may notice small pixels. Compensates for the lack of 16 million colors.
The display will delight you with its brightness and saturation. You can't expect more from a simple smartphone.
Camera
The C5 Nokia model received a regular 0.3 megapixel “eye”, which acts as a front camera. The front camera is designed for video calls, which it does very well. It is possible to take self-portraits, but the quality leaves much to be desired.
The main camera of the C5 Nokia was equipped with a 3.2 megapixel matrix. The device also has a flash. The device's camera is very weak, and high-quality images can only be taken in good lighting. The flash won't be very useful either.
It is possible to shoot video. The cell phone is capable of recording videos with fifteen frames per second and a resolution of 640 by 480. This is not enough for good video, most likely, the owner will not use this function.
Hardware
The "filling" of the C5 is noticeably different from the later model Nokia C5 03. The characteristics of the first one are more reminiscent of a cellular phone, while the updated version is powerful smartphone. However, even a simple C5 00 can surprise the user.
The device received an ARM11 processor with a frequency of 600 GHz. This is more than enough to work on the S60 platform. The small amount of RAM is confusing, only 128 MB. However, the phone is capable of handling up to 15 active applications simultaneously.
The amount of native memory also let me down. The device received only 256 megabytes. Brightening up the situation is the possibility of expanding it using a flash drive with a capacity of up to 16 GB.
Connection
The C5 Nokia works in the usual networks: 900, 850, 1800, 1900. The device also has GPS. To connect to the Internet, the usual B-class GPRS is used. Bluetooth 2.0 is also present.
Autonomy
The manufacturer installed a removable battery with a capacity of 1050 mAH. The battery charge lasts approximately 3-4 days of average use. More active work with the device will shorten its life to two days.
Price
Surprisingly, the cost of the C5 00 fluctuates around 7-8 thousand rubles. For a device with such weak characteristics, the price is definitely too high. It will not be difficult for a buyer to choose a smartphone that has superior hardware to the C5 at a similar price.
Positive Feedback
The main advantage of the C5 is its excellent autonomy. The phone will provide the user with uninterrupted operation for several days.
The small dimensions also appealed to many owners. The device is significantly lighter and smaller modern smartphones, which had a positive effect on ease of use.
Negative reviews
The C5 has significantly more disadvantages. The most alarming thing is the inflated cost of the device. Paying 7-8 thousand for a frankly weak smartphone looks stupid.
The camera does not inspire confidence in users either. The 3.2 megapixel matrix is not capable of taking high-quality pictures and can fail in poor lighting conditions.
For a 2010 device, 256 MB of memory is definitely not enough. The user will have no other option but to install the flash card.
Bottom line
Nokia C5 looks interesting and quite attractive. However, the greed of the manufacturer reduces the popularity of the device. The only advantage, the high autonomy of the device, does not justify its price at all.

Positioning
The model is a variant of the Nokia 6303i with a larger keyboard and the presence of S60, which does not play any role given the small size of the display. This device is attractive with a price of 135 Euros at launch, but this is still higher than the cost of the Nokia 6303. It turns out to be a kind of niche solution that will be in demand only in a number of markets and a small number of people.
Positioning of the model is for those who love classic all-in-one PCs with large keys, use the phone for calls, and to a lesser extent for SMS and other functions. At the same time, he looks for a good price/quality ratio and pays attention to the materials of the case. The Nokia C5 tried to provide all this, but bad luck happened in the form of a bestseller on the S40, and therefore this model remained unclaimed at a higher cost. An impulse purchase for those who love the Nokia brand and are accustomed to its all-in-one PCs.
For the Chinese market, the company released a model with the same index, but it is distinguished by a 5-megapixel camera and a larger display, and there are a number of other differences. These devices should not be confused.
Design, dimensions, control elements
A neat candy bar with a calm design, it is available in two colors - white and dark gray. In our review, the device is dark in color; there is a chrome-plated plastic edging along the front side, but the keyboard is dark gray. The back cover is made of metal, it is silver and covered with a matte coating. This coating may start to wear off if you scratch it. Below is brighter metal. There is no huge problem, the lid will peel off and become homogeneous again. But some annoying little thing is still hidden in this.
On the right side there is a paired volume key; it is deeply recessed into the body and is not very convenient to press. There is also a slot for a memory card, it is covered with a folding flap. It is not always possible to open it right away; it is difficult to pry off the lid.
At the top end there is a 3.5 mm headset jack, a standard jack for charger, as well as a microUSB connector (charging is supported).
Phone size – 112x46x12.3 mm, weight 89 grams. The device fits well in a shirt or jeans pocket.
Comparison with Nokia 6700 Slide:
Display
The device uses a 2.2-inch display with a QVGA resolution (240x320 pixels). The display displays up to 16 million colors (TFT), the picture is average in brightness, but is clearly visible in various conditions. Overall, the screen leaves a calm impression, although it is inferior to other latest generation models from Nokia. The screen displays up to 8 lines of text and up to 3 service lines. In some modes, up to 14 lines of text can be displayed. The font is easy to read.
In the sun the screen becomes difficult to see. First of all, this is due to its size.
Keyboard
The navigation key is large and easy to use. The numeric keypad is convex and pleasant to work with. No discounts. The backlight turns on automatically, it is white, always visible well, uniformly. The keyboard is quite comfortable and does not cause any complaints.
Battery
Applies to phone lithium ion battery BL-5CT, it has a capacity of 1050 mAh. According to the manufacturer, the phone can work up to 12 hours in talk mode, up to 630 hours in standby mode. If we compare the stated operating time of this device with most of the latest models from Nokia, we will see an almost twofold difference. But in practice, longer-lived models work with a similar usage profile for about a day, and this device lasts 2.5-3 days.
Music playback time is up to 29 hours, video recording in maximum quality is up to 180 minutes.
The operating time of the device is on average about 2.5-3 days in European conditions cellular networks. At the same time, you can talk for up to one hour, take a couple of dozen pictures, record a couple of minutes of video and listen to the radio or music for up to two hours. Time fully charged battery - about 2 hours.
Here is the maximum operating time in various modes:
- Video viewing - 8.5 hours
- WEB surfing (EDGE connection) - 3.5 hours
- Listening to music on headphones - 32 hours
- Radio - 32 hours
Memory
The device has 128 MB RAM, when loading, about 56 MB of free memory is available to the user. The age-old problem persists: when launching heavy pages in the web browser, the phone may close it. In general, if you don’t watch the web, there won’t be any problems as such.
The user has access to about 50 MB of memory in the device itself; any data can be stored in it.
Cards microSD memory, they are hot-swappable, and a 2 GB card is included. The maximum capacity of memory cards is limited to 16 GB cards.
USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
USB. In USB settings you can select one of 3 operating modes:
- Data Transfer (Mass Storage USB)- both the phone memory and memory cards are visible, no drivers are required, the OS itself recognizes the phone.
- PC Suite- work with Nokia PC Suite, access to all functions of the device, backup all information and so on.
- Image Print- photo printing.
Data transfer speed is about 1 MB/s.
Bluetooth. Bluetooth version in the smartphone – 2.0 with EDR support. The device supports the following profiles:
- AVCRP
- BIP-ImagePush
- DUN-GW
- FT-Server
- HandsFree-AG (1.0)
- Headset-AG
- OPP-Client
- OPP-Server
- SIM Access-Server
Bluetooth data transfer speeds average 100 KB/s. We checked the operation of stereo sound transmission to such a headset as Sony Ericsson DS970. Managing songs, rewinding, and skipping work without problems, but at the same time the name of the current song is not displayed on the screen.
WiFi. This model does not have Wi-Fi.
Camera
The phone uses a 3.2 megapixel CMOS module with fixed focus and LED flash. An ordinary camera that doesn't have enough stars in the sky and allows you to take pictures. It's obvious budget option in every sense. However, look at the photos.
Examples of pictures from the camera:

The device records video in VGA resolution (15 frames).
Software features of the device
By and large, everything is standard for the S60 platform, and we have described everything standard features, we invite you to read the relevant material.
There are no additional applications on the phone, only the Bounce game. This is an attempt to save money on everything. An unusual feature worth noting is the presence of tips from Nokia on how to use the phone. Nothing special, just tooltips.
Let me show you screenshots from the device without dividing them by program.

Impressions
The ringer volume is sufficient for most situations, but the ringer does not sound very clear. The same can be said about the quality of the speaker during a call. There is a slight rattling, the sound is not very clear. I specifically checked it on several sold devices, everything is the same. The quality of communication is normal, but the speaker somewhat spoils the picture. The same picture applies to Nokia 6730 Classic and Nokia 6700 Slide. This is apparently a sign of a budget device.
This model is typical in functionality and capabilities. The lack of Wi-Fi is a disadvantage for everyone who uses certain capabilities; constantly surfing the network via packet data will be expensive. The disadvantages, in addition to the aforementioned abrasion of the case, include software instability. In particular, in the video you can see how the device reboots when entering the gallery, the same thing happens when working with the camera (this is a fully working, commercial device). The lack of a camera key is not as annoying as this issue. I am sure that it will be fixed in subsequent firmware, and then the device will become quite stable. I’m also sure that buyers of this model don’t really need a camera.
The cost of the device in Europe is 135 Euros and more; in Russia it is available only from the Svyaznoy company at a price of 7,590 rubles. The price is high, so sales will be impulsive, or people, on the contrary, will clearly understand what they expect from this phone.
Surprisingly, the conclusions drawn for the Nokia 6700 Slide also apply to this niche device. I will repeat them: this model is interesting as a phone option for calls. If you don't expect too much, the phone will live up to your expectations. A pleasant device with the expected disadvantages and the absence of any competitors. But there are no competitors not because the model is so great, but because such devices are not in demand in this price segment. It is clear that the strength of the Nokia brand will play a role, and the model will sell. At least at first, for sure, then sales will decline and the device will become moderately in demand.
You can see the current cost of the model on the Svyaznoy website.

Smartphones and communicators are something complex and incomprehensible for most people. Another thing is an ordinary mobile phone that can make calls and play music. Realizing this, manufacturers are trying to disguise smartphones as regular phones. The new Nokia C5-00 is just one of these. This is a full-fledged smartphone that costs less than some phones.
Among all Nokia smartphones model C5-00 is the most affordable solution. The price of the device is similar to what is asked for most mid-range phones.
The manufacturer did not want Nokia C5-00 to be associated among users with something complex and incomprehensible. In our opinion, this did not work out. We were faced with the same standard smartphone on the Nokia S60 platform with a rather complicated menu layout.
Meanwhile, the new product captivates with its appearance: a large keyboard with in capital letters and numbers, metal back cover, matte plastic. Thanks to this, the C5 is attractive. But let's look at the device in a little more detail.
Dimensions. Scope of delivery
id="sub0">Nokia C5-00 measures 112x46x12.3 mm and weighs 89.3 grams. It has comfortable dimensions and weight. They say about these: “neither big nor small.” It fits well in the hand. The metal from which the battery cover is made can be felt in your hands. It's cold. The device fits well in a shirt or jeans pocket.
The scope of delivery includes:
- Battery BL-5CT
- Charger AC-8E
- Stereo Headset HS-125 [3.5mm Jack]
- USB Interface Cable CA-101D
- 2 GB microSD memory card
- Instructions
- Nokia Maps navigation guide
Design, construction
id="sub1">The appearance of the new Nokia C5-00 is quite calm, if not conservative. The situation is corrected by the colors of the model’s body: gray and white. The latter, in our opinion, looks the most advantageous.
Most of the smartphone body is made of matte plastic. Runs along the contour of the front part chrome-plated outline that gives solidity apparatus. The keyboard navigation block is also made of plastic, but stylized as metal. But the back cover is made of stainless steel.
On the front of C5 there is 2.2-inch screen, above which there is a speaker for phone calls, front camera for video calls, as well as a light sensor [it regulates the operation of the keyboard backlight, for example, the backlight does not turn on in a lit room].
Below the screen is the keyboard. We'll tell you about it a little later. At the bottom, next to the “0” button, there is a built-in microphone.
The headset jack, the hole for the charger [usually thin] and the microUSB connector for connecting to a computer [charging is supported] are located on the top end of the device.
Stereo speakers are located on the back of the smartphone. Music files sound relatively high quality, spacious, with stereo effects. The volume is sufficient for most cases. But at the maximum level, the dynamics begin to wheeze unpleasantly.
On right side You can see the paired volume key, below is the camera button. There is also a slot for microSD memory cards. It is worth noting that removing and inserting a card by hand is extremely difficult, especially for males who do not have long nails. We have to look for an “auxiliary tool”.
On the back surface of the smartphone there is a built-in photo and video camera with 3.2 megapixels without autofocus, but with LED flash.
The battery cover is securely attached to the body with special clips. Below it is a lithium-ion battery and a mount for a SIM card.
. During our two-week stay in our editorial office, we did not notice any problems with the design of the device. The C5 model is assembled at the Nokia plant in Hungary.
Keyboard and information input
id="sub2">The first thing you notice when you pick up the Nokia C5-00 is the large keyboard. The soft keys, as well as the “Receive” and “Hang Up” buttons are large in size. Working with them is very convenient. But " Menu" and "Delete" made extremely small. However, you quickly get used to them and do not feel any discomfort. The navigation key is standard; there is a light indicator around it that flashes when various events occur.
The alphanumeric keyboard is normal: the buttons are large, smooth, and pleasant to work with. The backlight is white, it is clearly visible in different conditions. In addition, the font of numbers and letters is also large, which provides greater comfort when typing texts and phone numbers.
Graphics capabilities
id="sub3">To be honest, we were not pleased with the display in the Nokia C5. It's small enough - only 2.2 inches, and even with small viewing angles. As soon as you take the phone at an angle, the image fades. However, the screen has a resolution of 240x320 pixels and displays 16.7 million colors. At the same time, the physical resolution of the display is 31x41 mm.
The screen displays from two to eight lines of text depending on the font. The default font in the main menu is merged. Therefore, we recommend installing a larger font.
The screen of the Nokia C5 does not behave well in the sun. Under the rays of the sun it fades almost completely and the image is extremely difficult to see.
Interface and navigation. Functionality
id="sub4">Runs under control Symbian OS 9.3 - S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2. We tested a phone with software version v 031.022 03/23/2010 RM-645.
In standby mode, the user sees a desktop with a panel quick access to six menu items. All these items can be configured in the appropriate section. Network and battery charge indicators are displayed at the top left and right. Next to them are the clock, date and operator name. There is also a panel for quickly dialing your favorite numbers. At the bottom there are inscriptions of one or another action for which the function keys are responsible.
The menu of the phone under test is represented by twelve items. In this case, the user has the right to choose one of four options for presenting the main menu: icons [matrix view], list [ordinary horizontal], horseshoe [animated icons of three menu items are displayed one by one], V-shaped [the display displays seven menu items lined up in the form of a “V” symbol]. Thanks to the motion sensor, the menu (portrait or landscape) and launched applications are automatically oriented.
The first menu item is "Calendar". It allows you to view events by date, time and action. The application is a high-quality planner-organizer, all in one.
IN "Contacts" stored detailed information O telephone numbers and subscribers. You can choose one or another data presentation option: groups, phone numbers, etc. You can also assign a different ringtone, photo, or video ringtone to each contact.
In third position is "Magazine", where information about calls, events, GPRS sessions and even location is collected. It is worth noting that for missed calls, incoming SMS or MMS, etc. A special indicator, which is included in the joystick, begins to blink [it looks very impressive, especially in complete darkness].
In fourth place in the main menu is the Internet browser. It has full support for HTML, XHTML, WML and JavaScript 1.3 and 1.5.
At point "Messages" contains all the options and options for working with mail [the built-in e-mail client supports POP3/IMAP4/SMTP/APOP protocols], SMS, MMS, voice messages, etc. This section also contains settings that are necessary for correct operation the listed services.
In addition, the list of pre-installed utilities now includes "Ovi chat". This is an IM messenger, a direct competitor, for example, to ICQ clients, which are often installed by buyers from third-party resources. Login to the chat is carried out using a single login/password combination (which is also necessary for registration in the store, maps, Ovi contacts), so separate registration is actually not required.
Unfortunately, this chat initially has a significant disadvantage - the lack of contacts in it. How quickly and completely the user will be able to fill out the list of interlocutors in it is an open question. Chat involves exchange text messages, it is possible to indicate your status and also keep the chat active in the background.
A kind of thematic browser for the phone’s memory is the item "Gallery". All files are divided into folders: photos, clips, music, themes, graphics, signals, audio recordings, received files, etc.
At point "OVI" There is a store with the ability to download mobile content to your phone. There are paid and free pictures, music, films, programs, games, etc.
"Cards"- built-in OVI Maps application. What follows "Camera". We'll talk about the camera interface separately.
IN "Settings" each user can personalize the interface mobile phone. Almost all configuration actions are concentrated in this menu item. This subsection includes all options related to bluetooth work, packet data transfer GPRS, UMTS, as well as data synchronization. In addition, settings for graphic themes, call tones, display design, installed applications and much more. In the same item there is a “File Manager” and “Journal”, where information about calls, events, GPRS sessions and even location is collected. An interesting point was the notification of the user about a missed call, SMS or other event: the phone’s backlight flashes periodically, thus attracting attention.
Last section "Applications" is a “garbage dump”, in which there is everything that comes in handy. As we noted earlier, the “Games” folder ended up here. Separately scattered, "Radio", " Music player", "Organizer", "Dictaphone", "Application Manager", "RealPlayer", Flash player.
"Music Player"- full-featured player. You can view and listen to mp3 songs. The following file formats are supported: MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, M4A. There is sorting by artists, albums, genres, composers. Important observation: when downloading to a phone or memory card, changes in the player will be displayed only after updating the music library.
It is worth noting that Nokia C5-00 has a separate sound chip. This allows, on the one hand, to increase system performance and reduce power consumption, on the other hand, the quality of sound processing increases.
"Radio" It only works when a headset is connected, it also serves as an antenna. The application interface is quite simple, manual and automatic search radio stations. There is RDS support. The radio can be set as an alarm clock, but don't forget to connect a headset. There is no possibility to record radio broadcasts. The sound in the headset is normal, without distortion. The radio can run in the background.
"Dictaphone" Records voice files mediocre. It all depends on the distance to the sound source. The sensitivity of the microphone is low, so at least some quality can only be expected if the sound source is very close to the phone.
Folder "Organizer" I was completely amazed: suddenly “File Manager” appeared in it [I had to hiccup for about five minutes]. In addition, it contains the most necessary functions for any person, such as notes, a unit converter, a barcode scanner, a software package for reading office documents and Adobe PDF.
Navigation capabilities
id="sub5">The GPS antenna is located at the top of the device, but this does not significantly affect the speed of navigation.
As a basic navigation program in Nokia C5-00 The OVI Maps package has been integrated. This application can be launched from the phone menu. Latest updates and maps are available for download on the Nokia website.
In addition to the navigation maps themselves in OVI Maps synchronization with the weather service and online travel resource Lonely Planet appeared. Perhaps, of all this set, only the weather forecast, content Ovi cards in the case of Russian cities it is practically absent. The situation is saved by the presence of a built-in GPS module, which can also be associated with third party applications, intended for navigation. When personalizing your smartphone, this will allow you to install a program that already has detailed map our country, or at least the capital.
When the program is launched, information from satellites about the location, current time is downloaded for some time, and maps are downloaded. This procedure in our case took about three to five minutes. After receiving the coordinates, you can easily determine where in at the moment you are. In the program menu there is a search for objects by text information, address, geographic location, history, contacts stored in the phone. All objects on the map are displayed with a corresponding icon. It is possible to display street names and other information in Russian.
When navigating, large bold arrows display a pre-designated route. Among the nice features you can find information about the weather, the situation on nearby roads, etc. In the GPS settings, you can view the power of the satellites in which the device is located and other useful information.
Photographic Opportunities
id="sub6">Nokia C5-00 classic has a camera 3.2 megapixels without autofocus, but with LED flash, which can also turn into a flashlight.

Ryabokon N.
dated December 9, 2012Pros:
The price is nothing, very reasonable, it costs little money, in short. Smart is normal, although it looks more like a regular dialer, I'm already used to it... sensor shovels. The assembly is generally normal, at first it’s true. The design is nothing like that, it looks cool, I have a black pipe. It works fine, just fine. Even multitasking is present, within reasonable limits, of course. If you open a lot of programs, the device reboots. The Internet works fine. It connects quickly and draws pages at a good speed too. There are branded Nokia maps, the navigator is generally not bad in general. The rechargeable battery is generally very good. The five-megapixel camera takes photographs normally, well, in short, generally OK. There is even a flash and some settings, I haven’t really looked at it, the quality is enough for me by default.
Cons:
The assembly is normal only at first - the back cover has gone on a spree, and after falling, it generally flies off and the battery falls out. I covered it with a band-aid, but it will pull. In the sun the screen fades a lot and you can barely make out anything. It gets scratched quickly, I'm talking about the screen. Some other little things there.
General impression:
In general, I like the tube, it’s shabby and the lid is covered with adhesive tape, but it works and I don’t want to change it.
Yasha Ponomarenko
dated November 29, 2012Pros:
So thin. Comfortable in the hand and in general. Doesn't slip at all. The buttons here are very convenient, they press well, typing long messages... It can be done very quickly. You can run three or four applications at once and they will work fine. It's a normal operating system and there are a lot of gadgets with interesting programs for this platform. And in general, you can download a lot of different programs and toys, they all install and work without problems. All sorts of Java applications still work fine. It reads all text documents normally, PDFs, Microsoft formats there. Vin-rar plows normally. Videos in flv format generally go well. Cool design. The network is working fine. The battery lasts almost three days. Normal, in short. Regular headphones can be hooked up. Dropped it on the marble floor, nothing, it continues to work.
Cons:
I switched off twice, but I didn’t understand why, only one program worked, or two, I don’t remember, in short. The time sometimes gets lost, but after a reboot it’s normal. When a lot of programs slow down like hell. The back cover is loose. Poor viewing angles.
General impression:
An ordinary device, a good pipe in principle. I'll be getting a new one soon anyway.

dated October 20, 2012Pros:
1. Battery– here it is very good, much better than the old smart.
2. The video quality is pretty good, good... you can watch.
3. Not a bad jeepies, navigation system In general, it’s very normal, somehow it came in handy when I got lost in Moscow with this one of yours.
4. Many games play well, the platform is good - there is a lot of cool software for it.
5. You can make video calls - a cool thing.
6. Can read many different formats, videos and documents.
Cons:
1. There is no way to remove the camera sound at all, and this is very annoying, how can you take pictures of beautiful girls?!
2. The time is constantly lost, reboot, and then again.
3. There are some problems with certificates, which can be solved by hacking the device.
4. Memory is constantly lost somewhere, it’s already enough.
5. There is no auto-focus on the camera.
6. The back cover is all scratched and a little loose.
7. Often cannot connect to the Internet.
General impression:
It's cheap, I paid 5,500 rubles, at first everything was great. Then it's not great anymore. And even later it’s no longer buzzing at all. Lately I've been frankly infuriated. Now I have a different device, in short.
Kokovtsev Ilya
dated September 19, 2012Pros:
1. The battery here is very good. Can't compare with the previous Nokia - I had to charge it more than once a day. Here - ... ok, two days.
2. It is possible to minimize a running application. Roll up some program and browse through the menu.
3. The camera is normal, but I took pictures at most four times, I don’t know why, maybe there are some problems.
4. T9 – quite okay, convenient, but forgets some words. You should try to reflash the device, maybe it will fix it.
5. The energy saving mode is actually a cool thing; it makes the battery last much longer.
Cons:
1. The speaker is generally disgusting, I can’t hear anything, I’m already tired of asking everyone.
2. The build quality is disgusting - everything hangs and creaks. The back cover is especially strong, and it is also too difficult to remove.
3. The SIM card slot is very inconveniently made and if you change them often, you can damage the microcircuit on the SIM card.
4. Low-functional software. Frequent device reboots. Time resets frequently. Can reset even when turned off.
5. It’s inconvenient to type long text.
General impression:
No, I don’t need such a sump pipe at all, I’ll change it soon, I’ve already got my eye on a replacement.
