I wish they switched to Bluetooth 4.0 already. It should be much more energy efficient.

I know, I've been looking for such phones for 3 years straight now. I mostly find chinesse no-name models, but they're horrible, few of the last decent phones: Nokia 6720 classic (decent camera), Samsung Esomething (5mp candybar phone, 3+ years old model). Sadly, there isn't a decent replacement yet, and the Samsung is all-plastic, gets really worn out in a year - its screen cover plastic is almost non-transparent now because of constant use for 2 years (my father carries phone with keys, can't help it). And he needs a big screen due to poor eyesight (sees things far away, but can't see small letters on a phone). My mother has 6720 classic, although she doesn't use smartphone features (symbian) at all, Nokia 230 wouldn't be a bad choice. But she, too, wants to take a picture with a phone occasionally. So I'm looking for a fast device with big screen and numberic keyboard, somewhat decent camera. Can't find it, though.

2. It's low-priced, so don't expect super cores and ludicrous RAM.
3. Its target audience is one that doesn't give a care about what apps they have.
4. The audience in (3) won't have a PC anywhere near your specs level.
5. It clearly wasn't meant for you. Go buy a flagship - that should suit your needs.
They're happy they can even buy a phone like this. You can also happy by leaving them alone, and buying the phone YOU truly want.

Ra.awake, 25 Nov 2015I think this is a basic phone for calling, messaging and li... moreBasic. . how many bugs do you want to hear that nokia doesnt even care to address. . .
1. all sound profiles volume goes to half after playing games
2. pre installed games are non removable and takes rs 50 on installation without prior notice
3. Saved ringtones gets changed to basic nokia ringtone after USB connection or mem card removal
4. Worst file manager ever. .. not even option to mark or select all. . .deleting and moving is chaos
5. The build is creeky over the back panel which fits around the entire half surface of the phone. .and dents on it make it hard to open or close as like on first use. .
6. The music player has no playlist option. . .only you can add one by one songs to favourite list which is limited by 100. ..100 fav songs for a phone that has 32 gb support. . im using one. . .
7. somehow the usb transfer speeds are limited to 614kbps , i have a UHS-1 card and my pc has i7 config with updated specs
8. The camera record 3gp video in 320x240 res. . .which has a bit rate higher than needed for mp4 recording on other phones. .and the video is barely watchable. . .all for a so-called 2 mp camera. .
9. Battery drains on edge usage. . .for calls its adequate. . same for watching videos. . .drains in 3 hours. .
10. the pre installed apps are useless. . and you cant even install a opera mini browser (which i guess has support for all other phones in the world, even for cheap chinese ones)
11. i tired of typing. . .the list goes on . . .keyboard, speaker shrills. . .now don say that other manufactures within this budget range doesnt supports all these. . .they actually do. . .the thing is that nokia spends loads on money on advertisements and bundled carrier offers, that they forget end user experience and customer support. . just like throw and use. . . there was a time when nokia was famous for base model handsets with these capabilities and usability. . nokia i dead. . . and this is why that is dead. . . .software. . .

AnonD-411799, 26 Nov 20151. why not? whats the use off those apps which has differen... more1. You don't. I'm pretty sure a most work that required OneNote would be done in a setting that had an actual desktop/laptop (which is probably company-issued anyway).
2. At least both Android and WP both have hotspot - that's all that matters now.
3. Ads are revenue streams - OS makers need it, especially considering that most users don't want to pay a single for anything.
4. It will survive because there is little money to be made from malware for WP anyway.
5. There are a million or so apps in PlayStore, and very little quality control - a nice recipe for problems. But yes, the stock Google apps are fine.
6. Those are the apps' problems. Not a lot of people make apps for Windows, and there is little incentive to update immediately.
Android received similar criticism when it was still new - look at where it is now. Windows will get there - it just needs some time and a lot of perseverance.
