@sundar
These are mobiles my dear not automobiles….
Even if a mobile handset lasts for two year…that will be a treat
Anyways, if you want to keep pace with technology…. one must change its handset after every 1 year

Whatever may be the mobile phones by any manufacturers, but all are scrap items after 2 years. It become useless immediately after the expiry of the warranty period. I bought an N-73 Black-Music just a year ago and it is a show-piece, owing to its magnificent performances. Let us not waste our money on pompous models by seeing the attractive advertisements.

NO dude wat i meant to say abt nokia’s quality is u compare nokia 1200 & nokia 1100 or1108.nokia 1100 beats 1200 in all respects, quality,signal reception etc.once in my collge my friend’s 1100 suddenly slipped from hand & fell from 3rd floor, its panel,battery got separate & we thought its gone, when she inserted battery switched on phone was working perfect, even the ear piece was fine. i had 6070 3years back & it was fantastic, almost whole day i used to chat in tat & tat phone never gave software prob but 2600classic sucks it often hangs. in tis manner nokia ‘s quality is going down..

Nokia handset me copy Paste hota hai kya dusre site se ?
rajiev April 22, 2010 at 12:43 pm
I purchased the set yesterday. This is what i found…
ADVANTAGES
a)Cheap
b)Light weight
c)Stereo jack (good fm disco on ur woofers and headset)
d)New design of user interface (OS)
DISADVANTAGES
a) voice leakage from back (as in 1202,1203)
b)OS is slow in processing, The speed of phone will not be able match your finger speed, sometimes irritating.
c)The buttons are hard and making loud plastic sound when pressed, Nokia says its a sms set but hard buttons and slow processing does not prove this.
d)center button does not work
