Nokia 3110 Evolve

I recently bought Nokia 3110 Evolve as my previous phone, SonyEricsson T230 finally gave up after 5 years of abuse. Since I got that phone for 5000 Rs, it cost me 1000 bucks a year to use it. That is quite an achievement for a low end phone. The reality is that, the phone is still working fine, but its keys cannot be pressed anymore, which is quite problematic if you want to send an SMS.

So I went for some phone searching and got this one from a sale for 99 euros. It also came with a free bluetooth device which I have not used yet. This phone is made up of recycled material, which makes it exceptionally light and the keys are really big and easy to press, which makes it superb for smsing. Its is a series 40 phone but performs much better than some of the earlier series 60 2nd and 3rd edition phones. The best thing is that, its menu isn't cluttered with useless applications, so it is really easy to use.

On top of that it is also an mp3 phone and supports an FM radio with 1.3 megapixel camera. Plays video, browses the net and runs Java games. I test all the java apps that i make on this phone and trust me, they are really easy to install. just put the JAR file anywhere and it runs it. After a full charge, it easily runs for 4 days under normal use, otherwise it has a 370 hours of standby time! And finally, it can be connected to a USB wire and then to your PC for easy data transfer.

I am not too fond of expensive mobiles. I want a good phone that does everything without much fuss and has good voice quality. This phone fits perfectly for all these tasks and I strongly recommend it if someone has similar requirements to that of mine. Otherwise... happy phone hunting!
