simpley awesome
Phone owned for more than a year

first i want to tell this phone OS is dead. But I love the os very much. Call quality is awesome. Audio with dolby surrounding so that I don't want to explain this. Video payback is good. Plays almost all formats. If you start using this phone you can't leave this simply. And I want to tell one thing the display is scratch resistance. I can't get scratch. I am using without screen guard. No front cam and flash.

Feature Pack 2 update has more problems than its predecessor. Standby clock consumes CPU and drains the battery extremely quick. The T9 predictive texting feature is ALWAYS on with tabs at the top of the screen which is an eyesore.

Nokia 603
Phone owned for less than a year

603 lies perfectly in your hand,it is very comfortable to use.Touchsreen is very sensitive and with ClearBack display you don't see any reflections even in sunniest days. IPC-LCD which you can find on iPhones have smoother feeling than TFT touchscreens to me and provides better viewing angles.You'll be able to see image exactly the same from every angle.

Adding widgets and shortcuts to homescreen is a piece of cake,just like adding or deleting homescreens.There are some nice widgets like images which will show few of your images on homescreen,music player widget,weather widget,Google search,Facebook widget...

UI is super fast, and 1GHz processor really does it's job so everything runs smoothly.HD Games like Asphalt 6 : Adrenaline run exceptionally well, no lags at all,but there is not really much apps and games for Belle.

Battery is fantastic! Camera is ok , lacking LED flash is con ,and there is no front facing camera. Text input is decent, not best , but not bad too.

Nokia could have added more memory for this phone, it's internal memory is 2GB , but only half of that (1GB) is user available.Considering one HD game takes from 100-500MB , there is not much space, but you can always expand it to 32GB with microSD

All in all , it's very good phone , but if this phone was Android , it would be excellent.
