Efficient antenna & decent battery life make this a useful travel companion
1 of 1 found this helpful Let's get 2 (small & almost inconsequential) niggles out of the way: No SD card & no dual SIM. And as for+ points: excellent battery life with cheap 2nd batteries widely available and a good for picking up an anaemic signal especially with an external aerial (£14-19 does the job) mounted, say, on a car window attached to 2 non-fiddly connectors
Dual band so can (given a decent 4G signal) download the day's newspaper, update Apple, Google & BBC News & Sport app, email etc. whilst using Waze for a 2 hr drive with a lot of traffic/accident/detour real-time updates, all for 0.08Gb of data allowance. Plus all the info you need on a decent sized screen and a fairly wide wireless range making it possible for up to 10 devices on a picnic or campsite to hook up to the device and share download films, music, photos using AirDrop & other social sharing apps. In a campsite even without cellular network, wireless connectivity has umpteen uses for travellers planning trips and sharing maps, photos, itineraries etc. This product is good for UK travellers in areas with decent network signal but will NOT transform a barely usable signal from a distant mast into a pleasurable ½ hour. But then again, no affordable or handy solution exists.

Phone for all seasons that few need and many will want
0 of 1 found this helpful But it's only a phone and after all why else buy it.
The look and feel: bog standard BlackBerry look-alike but efficient battery management makes this a long-lasting piece if used purely as a phone. Use any of the many applications, and watch that battery dive. All the apps work, some clunky, some promise-a-lot-but-still-clunky, none of them are a patch on the main rival's apps.
The radio, music player and the picture and video apps are surprisingly good for a business phone but would you shell out serious money just for the convenience of not having to lug your MP3 or 4 player around. Don't buy it for the Nokia Maps and the GPS; they suck.
So waht's left. Ah yes, the phone. Inside it's just a straight Nokia phone. Good sound, very good small speaker, good bundle of free ringtones with all the usual sound effects but like multiple shower-heads, you only ever use one unless you are very bored or have too much time on your hands both qualities condemning someone to cool-purgatory.
Love the text-to-speech facility which means it announces the caller's name as long as they are in the Contacts list.
The compact full qwerty keyboard is not for the fat-fingered but will suit everyone else and the navigation keys are slick (cannot imagine why the forthcoming E73 had to fiddle with it to improve it), responsive and well designed.
This is a good phone. The add-ons are so-so.
I can imagine that it would sway some to part with serious money for one of these.
Self-deception is an art much practiced but never mastered.
