Good Phone

Phone owned for less than a month

Loved the phone overall. Just do not like that it only has 8 gigs of ram. I fixed that though by getting a bigger micro SD card and formatting to use as RAM in my phone. Textin gsometimes does not enter right keys or any keys at times.

Phone owned for less than 3 months

- My first impressions was that the phone was massive and that it was a decent phone with a decent camera. I was also surprised with a removable back and full hd video recording capabilities.
- There are a total of 22 pre-installed applications
- Camera preview is worse than actual photos

New cellphone

Phone owned for less than a month

Hello I am Mohammad Mahdi from Iran.
According to the texts that I read and after researching about the new phone of Nokia and specially about the nice design of white model and also the powerful battery I want to buy the phone as soon as better. The price in Iran is about 15,000,000 Rial or 110$ . And I think its the best choose with fantastic options and cheap price.
I hope Nokia won't disappoint me. Beacuse its my first Nokia and before this I had HTC SAMSUNG ,APPLE , and I should trust to Nokia. Thank s for reading . And sorry for bad English
