I have been using this phone for a while now. and here are the pros n cons according to me :

PROS:-
Good build quality,
Good battery back up,
Loud speaker sound,
good touch responses.

CONS:-
NO Popular apps available as of now,
poor graphic games,
cam quality not so good,
cheap headphones,
no USB provided,
phone restarts when tried to open big web pages or play large .avi video files,
less RAM,
small screen,
browser doesn't support JavaScript.


in short, its the best feature phone available at present for basic needs.
just dont expect anything extraordinary or smartphone features.

hope this info helps.

          listen buddy, NOKIA is NOKIA. no other devices can beat NOKIA. it was at the top and will always remain at the top. you cant change the minds of NOKIA lovers by posting your fooly reviews. NOKIA - just the name is enough.

            1)....Well, let me tell you even chinese cheap cell phone gives 9-10 hour talk time (having 1600 mAh battery).
            2)...Next thing in android you have Very basic apps (like whatapps,viber,etc) which this lacks.
            3)...No GPS..?? what no gps?? sounds weird...yes that right no GPS..then whats the use of maps?? lol
            4)... 133ppi is good?? even chinese Crap mobile has beter ppi (~212++).
            5....chinese andiord has NOW got decent battery i.e. 5-6hrs Talk time...and 5Hrs Wifi+data CONTINUOUSLY usage time..
            6...Then tell me single reason why to buy this not cheap Chinese android dualcore mobile + GPU (in same price) which can also give 6 hr talk time?

                    I eventually bought Nokia Asha 501 two days ago. It looks good in the hand with a good price. But it lacks some things I usually use in phones.
                    1. I cant locate any file I transfer using Bluetooth either in Mem Card or Phone Mem.
                    2. Browsing is very slow and sometime disconnects even when other phones in the same area on the same network are working.
                    3. The Nokia switch is not working on it. I cant synchronize my Note, calendar and sms from other Nokia phones as I used to do.
                    4. Does not support Nokia Suite for PC link. This is a big minus for me.
                    5. It rejects most of my usual Java Apps that worked on other Nokia phones.
                    6. No group Contact and no way to check how many contacts I have on the phone.
                    Besides all the above, the phone looks good and fashionable in its class.
