    No 3G but nice phone & 16 expandable make it thums up deal

    It has 3G with hsdpa 10mbps & hsupa 2mbps….
    This phone has good featureS within a affordable price range…
    But the main drawback is(as per my opinion)..it has old & outdated symbian s40 & no GPS…..

    But they will be, and soon! So its worth knowing if they are worth waiting for. Also what I said was a statement about Nokia phone cams in general.

    Raccoon :
    Other things aside, Nokia cameras seem really disappointing. And this one is only 2 MP whereas competing phones not only have min. 3 MP but are of much much better quality. I’d want to look at sample pics before even considering this phone… and considering other Nokia models, I am not optimistic…

    why u thing so much . these mob not yet launched in india., so not to worry abt these mobile

    @Avishek Ghosh
    Symbian ^1 IS NOT S40. Symbian^1 is S60v5 (think 5800XM etc).

    Though screen size is small resolution is same as 5800XM and the rest.

    @Keshav Jha
    It’s not S40. It’s S60v5.

    @ vinay
    greater the mAH longer the battery power i.e., more talk time and standby….

    If I know Nokia well, mostly they will pack this with a 1050mAH or 1200mAH (if lucky) battery only….

    3G supported. Then it is one of the best for choice now. I like S40 for it’s good speed & easy to use.

    ! more piece of brick from Nokia, i think nokia is desperate to regain its numero uno position, but with so many companies coming out with so many models and cheaper option and better battery life and features, i dont think Nokia is gonna survive for long, I was a avid nokia fan and user and had many models the last being E-90 3 years back, but have now shifted to Apple and have pledged to use apple for the rest of my life, i know like me not everyone has the luxury of owing one, But i think Nokia time is over, if they dont come up with something amazing fast they gonna lose the market fast.
