The reason that I bought this phone is that I have always loved Nokia phones,but unfortunately it is small in size that people says it is a ladies phone. If I had seen it phisically before purchasing it,I could have preferred a bigger slider model. Honestly I can't use it
I am happy with this item thanks a lot my dear friend.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Refurbished
Absolutely awesome phone. 8mp camera with the brightest led flash I have ever seen, free sat nave which is amazing, perfectly set up with 8gb.built in and up to 16gb available in a slot and music buttons which allow door the track to be changed at any time . Buy it
My very first impression of this phone after using it for a day was that it was a very poorly thought out operating system and everything that used to take a couple of clicks on my old phones not took 10+ clicks (no exaggerating! I think I counted the amount of clicks to get into the body of a text to write and it was 16!) BUT with a lot of customising I now like the phone enough to be happy with it and to carry on using it. It's a shame that Nokia aren't paying attention to the 3rd party developers that are actually making their phones usable and reworking the user interface to make it feel like a modern capable device! First thing to install is vhome (get the english one!) - this makes the home page actually useful instead of just blank empty wasted space (puts in 14 customisable icons), smart contact searching (just starting typing either the name or number of a contact and it auto finds them), weather and twitter integration, a mini app store and a bunch of other enhancements and keeps the other useful stuff from the original homepage such as upcoming calendar events. Most useful thing - it also adds a quick contacts page so texting or calling your most common contacts is now only 2 clicks away and a popular apps page, same thing but for your apps. Emoze takes care of syncing your emails and doesn't charge you for the privilege (unlike the Nokia one that is built in). It might suit some people to install SMSPreview too but it's not so essential (the default SMS alert just say you have a message, nothing about who it's from or anything). The battery life is OK. If you don't go crazy on it but do use the net a bit, text and call a fair amount you can expect to get 2 days out of it but check that you are closing stuff you don't need to extend battery life more. The size and look are fine and it feels well built - worth fitting a good screen cover though. Camera performs well but the LED flashes don't thrown the light very far in dark conditions. The music player is adequate but not great - it doesn't remember where you are in a song and when you just open the music player you haev to be careful how you go back to the 'now playing' list or you may accidently find yourself not actually being in the same album or anything anymore... Here is a shameful thing - I can't actually find a really good music app for Symbian! The phone has automatic voice recognition built in which is quite fun seeing who it will call when you say a name... It's a good effort but I can't say it's very accurate - maybe I just have a bad accent! ;) Overall, like I said at the start, this phone is quite easy to hate but if you take a bit of time shaping it into something usable, then it performs quite well - just wish Nokia would take the initiative and try using the phones they sell first to see how clunky they are to begin with and streamline everything for us users right out of the box.Read full review
Nokia's new flagship product. Forget the N97 - this is despite, the nomenclature a much more capable machine. It's up there against Apple's 3GS monster and it does not punch below it's weight. Feature rich, although I'm a tad disappointed the V11 firmware hasn't been released to UK models yet. Nokia's support is woeful trying to track down why this is the case - but owning a number of Apple products from iMacs to iPhones, I can't say Apple's support is any better. You just have to use the power of the mighty interweb. There are a few niggles - battery life is, well for want of a better word - random. Sometimes the camera locks and there is no option but to remove the battery and reboot. All of these things I've been assured by Nokia and Symbian experts are fixed in the V11 Firmware release. I'm just waiting for it to come onto UK download servers. The OLED screen is a delight and the keyboard is good. I've got so used to using my thumb to text - the iPhone drives me batty when I try to type with my forefinger. That's why we have opposable thumbs! All in all - I'm a reasonably happy bunny with this phone. I still prefer the N96 - but then that's just me. The N86 will grow on me. Why do I prefer the N96 - because I can flash the firmware in a UK branded model ;-) The FOTA stuff with the N86 looks really promising as does the fact that you don't have to back it up before the upgrade - all your settings and 'stuff' is kept intact. However, I haven't been able to test this as I can't get hold of the firmware :-) Money well spent if you like your gadgets.Read full review
