I have read a lot of bad reviews about these cases not fitting the phone as advertised, but I had absolutely no trouble getting my phone into the case. I like it, it works well.

Nokia Asha 311 Dark Grey 4GB Deals

This review is from: Nokia Asha 311 Dark Grey 4GB included Factory Unlocked International Version PENTA BAND 3G HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 by Nokia (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I've worked in the wireless industry for years and am very familiar with a wide range of current and emerging technologies. The Nokia Asha 311 is a surprisingly good phone at an amazingly low price. I am very pleased with it. Compact, reliable and easy to use for both calls and messaging.

To understand why the Asha line isn't found among North American GSM carriers however, one must first understand that North American network success is measured by profitability first and THEN innovation. Nokia has reversed that equation in two ways: (1) By compressing high speed data through their own servers, one can take full advantage of the internet without a required high-cost smartphone data plan and (2) The Asha is LOADED with features and apps found on phones 3-4 times its price. In other words, the Nokia Asha 311 is not economically advantageous to any carrier that would prefer seeing its customers shackled into a 2 year service contract with an expensive smartphone data plan. Not surprisingly, the Asha line is VERY popular in countries outside the US. Indeed, more than 26 million Asha phones have been sold on the global market.

With the Nokia Asha 311, one can use a low-cost feature phone data plan and have full access to Facebook, Googletalk, Twitter, Nokia Maps, Weather Channel, WhatsApp, etc, and still save 3/4 of what you would spend for the same thing otherwise. For example, with the Nokia browser one can easily access email and YouTube. US GSM carriers have rendered this next to impossible on their feature phones. One would assume that with all the Asha features, battery strength would be an issue? Not at all. One can easily go several days between charges, even with regular use. Amazing.

Bear in mind, the Asha 311 is NOT a 4G LTE smartphone. However, it IS one of the best 3.5G feature phones available at any price. Perfect for everyday use or international travel, no other phone at this price range offers you a capacitive touch screen with Corning Gorilla Glass, 3.5 megapixel camera with video, built-in WiFi, VoIP, expandable memory up to 32GB, multiple languages, FM stereo radio, internet radio and even Angry Birds. Buy it, you won't regret it.

I love this phone. I bought it for my wife and now I want one myself. There are some pros and cons to the phone and I'll list them in order of importance to me.

PROS:
Unlocked! I can use it anywhere and with anyone
Great call quality
Gorilla Glass screen
Easy texting interface (there are reviews out there that claim it only has a keypad in portrait but you can change it to qwerty in the settings)
Easy to use (you can pick up this phone and pretty much know how to use it in about 30 seconds)
Battery life
Physical Call and End keys
Proximity sensor turns the screen off so you don't hang up with your cheek

CONS:
Screen size (it's small but it fits everything in there tho)
No flash on camera (for this price I can't complain but it is what it is)

Summary: Buy this phone! It does everything you need and looks great doing it. It's not a "Smart Phone" but it does everything one does. If you want tons of pointless apps then this isn't the phone for you. If you want a reliable, portable, sexy and usable device then pick this one up and you won't be disappointed.

This is a great very basic smart phone. The phone quality is very good. I live in a remote area and receive good reception.
The sound quality is very good, and it is easy to hear and to talk even in a noisy environment. Good phone and good value.

Nokia N8 Unlocked GSM Touchscreen Phone Deals

By Bookworm "bookworm" (CA, USA) -
This review is from: Nokia N8 Unlocked GSM Touchscreen Phone Featuring GPS with Voice Navigation and 12 MP Camera (Gray) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
What more can I do with it (compared to iPhone or Android):

1. Navigate anytime with a fantastic GPS module and free life time navigation (including turn by turn voice navigation with street names, lane guidance, speed limit warning, traffic etc.!!). Go buy crap GPS software for iPhone for a huge price (last time checked was more than 50$) and even then that won't even come close to Nokia navigation. Don't forget Nokia owns Navteq (the worlds largest map producer)
2. Transmit FM and play it on your car music system (iPhone doesn't even have a FM receiver)
3. The best camera (those of u who read the misleading review of endgadget, if u r really reading my review, then u r serious and go ahead to search on google to find zillions of unbiased camera review, comparing N8 even against DSLR)
4. Pentaband network support, which would let you use the phone with both AT&T and T-Mobile 3g network!!
5. Dolby surround sound output
6. USB on the go (which means you could connect your USB device with the phone!)
7. Bluetooth 3.0
8. The only OS that has a very complete bluetooth stack implementation (perhaps too technical for some of the readers) that allows u to even control ur powerpoint presentation with ur cellphone (using salling clicker). The poor iPhone guys, no ur phone doesn't have that functionality (crippled at OS level)
9. The OS that gives superb battery life (anyone using Symbian would testify for this)
10. The freedom that comes with an open OS (OK, Android is also open)
11. The most configurable and complete enterprise wireless stack (trust me, I never ever had any problem to configure my Nokia phones for the most convoluted enterprise wireless network!)
12. A built in completely integrated VOIP support. You won't even notice that u r using VOIP. And trust me, if u know how to use VOIP effectively, u could save a huge amount on your phone bill
13. The ability to work as Bluetooth HSPA modem (or even create Wifi hotspot with third party software)
14. The TRUE TRUE TRUE multi tasking. Yes that's three TRUEs. No one else (including the upcoming Windows Phone 7) supports true multi-tasking. If u ever use Symbian multitasking, u would hate to use others' sham multitasking
15. Many many ... can't list. Feeling tired :( Users are welcome to comment and add additional pros and cons. I am sure there will be Nokia fanboys and iPhone and Android fanboys.

What can't I do (or can't do so well):

1. The UI (yes iPhone and Android have better intuitive UI)
2. I can't fart with my mobile (but I do have all the apps that I would ever need: e.g. call screening software, office software, pdf reader, flash support, email solution, the entire Oxford, cambridge or a host of other dictionaries etc.)
3. Zillions of games that you may avail on iPhone, u may not have on Nokia yet (believe me it's changing fast). BTW, N8 has a faster GPU than iPhone4!

Now some misleading media propaganda:

1. N8 has only 680 MHz processor: Believe me Symbian is by born very efficient. If u ever own a Mac and try to run a Windows 7 in a virtual machine then u know how slow it is. Processor doesn't define speed. I started with a 233MHz pentium processor with 32MB RAM which ran Windows 98 extremely fast with all Office applications, a bunch of productivity apps and a host of games. To give a recent example look at Windows Vista, which runs very slow on the same computer compared to Windows 7 or Mac OS X!
2. N8 has only 256MB RAM: Again u don't need that much RAM. The Symbian^3 has "Writable data paging" which works like virtual memory. And don't forget, Symbian is built from ground up to be battery, memory and processor efficient. No other OS (including Android) claims that feat.

So, in conclusion, if u r looking for a very modern looking user interface, go for iPhone (or Android). But if u r like me who shops for functionality (and who dreams to carry only one gadget (no GPS, no camera, no Apple remote etc.)) then surely u should give N8 a serious thought. And don't let naysayers fool u with usability issues. Believe me, with just couple of days of use, every unintuitive UI would become intuitive (I am a Symbian veteran and it feels very intuitive to me).

This review is from: Nokia N8 Unlocked GSM Touchscreen Phone Featuring GPS with Voice Navigation and 12 MP Camera (Gray) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This phone has some incredible features at this unlocked, off contract price. This is a 3G pentaband WORLD phone which will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile. It has a 12MP camera with a CCD sensor 3 times bigger than iPhone 4 and even larger than purpose built high quality camera's like the Panasonic LUMIX ZS-3. It has a Xenon flash for excellent night time shots. The N8 shoots HD 720p with HDMI and DOLBY Surround sound output! The camera's optics are specially designed and made by Carl Zeiss, and it has AutoFocus and a mechanical shutter for big camera capabilities in a compact form factor. The phones body is a single piece of Anodized, scratch resistant Aluminum, with Gorilla glass front. It has a new generation AMOLED display with anti-reflective layer. The N8 also sports BLuetooth 3.0, so you can use a wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse simultaneously. It also has USB on-the-go, so you can directly use mass storage devices like a hard drive or USB flash memory. The phone has the latest Symbian^3 OS, with multi-touch, actual multi-tasking and avoids the double tapping of older Symbian versions. The software also includes on-board and robust photo and video editing. The N8 also uses a faster GPU than the iPhone 4 (SOC GPU), called the Broadcom BMC2727, for a great gaming experience which you can also pipe directly to an HD TV and play on the big screen. It also comes with free turn by turn navigation, available in 74 countries. Of course, its a Nokia so Video Call capability is a given. Battery life is exceptional.

Hello this review has been updated and lowered in rating. We have 2 N8s and both of them froze and died. This is a problem for many people and I would not recommend this phone until Nokia fixes this issue.

Here are my pros and cons about this phone. I have owned a lot of top smartphones, so I figured I would highlight what I find excels and what lags current crop. Overall it is a very good phone.

Pros:
Camera - The camera is pretty much perfect. You can tell they put a lot of time into it because the software works well and the pictures are great. There simply is no better camera out there on a phone.

Construction - This is a very attractive, and study phone. I have no doubt it will last a long time, it is very nicely engineered

Battery Life - Battery lasts longer than any other smartphone I have used.

Memory- People criticise the lack of ram, but I have not run out of ram ever, and actually having more ram wastes battery.

Radios - Pentaband phone, not very common. This will work everywhere on earth pretty much.

Navigation - Free, no data connection needed and works very well. GPS works better than any other phone I have used. Syncs fast and works even without view of sky.

Sports Tracker - It is awesome!

OMAP processor - Do not listen to MHZ junkies, this processor is very nice because it handles

Connectivity - This phone is the first one I have ever had that switches between Wifi, 3G etc seemlessly and shuts off data when phone not in use. Very well done.

HDMI out/video - works well and default player plays nearly any format you throw at it. even MKV files.

Cons
Web Browser - After using the maemo browser on n900 I realize how good mobile browsing should be. The default browser sucks bad. I know they are coming out with update, but that is no excuse, should ship with good browser

On screen keyboard - It is terrible, Opera mini did it right on N8 why can nokia not do it.

Screen - The resolution is relatively low for modern smart phones. It looks very nice, but when you view pages zoomed out text is garbled due to lack of resolution. I have pretty good vision so I like to read tiny text rather than zoom in.

UI - Symbian is a perfectly fine OS, but the UI is inconsistent. Some areas you hit enter to have setting go, some you have to hit check then ok, some menus go away when you touch shaded part etc. Nothing is consistent.

I do actually have this phone (ordered it from NokiaUSA and got it on time since im close by IN).

This phone is for the Symbian lover wanting a new experience, unlike S60 5th edition. And this phone delivers.

Construction and hardware wise, it is perfect (no removable batteries my gripe, but oh well). The camera is fantastic and may even replace your stand alone camera. Feels great in your hands too.

The software..its what S60 5th Edition should have been...the music player, only 1 touch tapping, multitouch are ALL welcome editions. Do not use the ovi maps that come with it, go to beta labs and use OVI maps there...it has multitouch etc. Am thoroughly enjoying it...where they can improve is the web browser and calendar.

Web browser will get an update in Nov from beta labs...will include better multitouch and a brand new look/feel, much like (n900 etc).

All in all, this is what we want, something new but keeping the familiarity.

Good job Nokia..looking forward to your N9

Nokia Lumia 900 Black Factory Unlocked Deals

By Jose A. Villaro M. "Barça Fan" (Valencia, Venezuela) -
Sorry don't know how to report this product so I'll do it here.
The product description is not correct. For example, it says: "However, it does support MicroSD cards for removable flash memory space if the need arises. It is a smartphone that operates on the Android 2.3.5 operating system".
NO! This uses the WINDOWS PHONE 7.5 operating system and DOES NOT support MicroSD cards.

This is actually an awesome phone (that's why I didn't want to give a 1 star rating, take it as you may) and I'm a WP 7.5 user who really enjoys it but it's important that people buy based on the true information of the product. Please fix this!

Edit (12/16/2012): Seems they have fixed the phones description, thank you very much.

 By Joel Moreno "Jo Black" (Santo Domingo, R.D.) -
I just bought this phone a few weeks ago and it is gorgeous. The screen just blew me away and the OS is very fast and user friendly. This is the first time I try a Windows phone and I have to say that it's been a wonderful experience. From now on I'll just use Windows phone for my daily use. My next gadget will be Nokia Lumia 920. I just can't look foward for this phone to hit the market. Nokia designs the best and most beautiful phones and now they work with the best OS on the market. Well done, Nokia and Microsoft!

Now, let's talk about Apps. I've read many comments of people talking about the ''lack of app'' on the Marketplace. I can tell my own experience. I come from Android and also I had a Apple iPhone 4S and the only App missing on the Marketplace (talking about me and the apps I use the most) are Instagram and OVO (and I've heard Instagram is comming soon to Windows Phones before this year ends). I have Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, MSN, KiK, Viber, Badoo, SkyDrive, Tango, Skype,Youtube,Shazam, SoundHound, Netflix, IMDb, Evernote, ESPN, CNN, Univision,SkyMap, TuneIn Radio, WhatsApp, Wikipedia and Weather much more... Also the Nokia App (Nokia Maps, Drive, City Lens, Music, Trailers, Creative Studio, Counters, Soundtracker, Transit, Contacts Transfer, Camera Extras and much more). The Marketplace keeps growing. The integration of Facebook, twitter, MSN, LinkedIn and Foursquare in my Windows Phone is AMAZING! I can put comments and give ''likes'' directly from my phone due to the AMAZING integretion between those Apps and my phone. and I don't have to go to the Facebook or Twitter App to do that.

I'm totally in love with my Nokia Lumia 900 and its amazing OS! I 100% recommend it! If you wanna be different, switch and go for it! Nokia Lumia phones the amazing experience!

By Akinyemi Abiodun "Abbey" (Nigeria) -
The product was supplied on schedule.
My reservation for this Product is that IS NOT fully FACTORY UNLOCKED! Some functions (BLUETOOTH, INTERNET SHARING) are not working, they are locked to "att.com"
The product is very good and has become a mobile office of a sort for me, within the very short period I own it!
I recommend the genuinely FACTORY UNLOCKED to all international buyers outside United State of America.

Nokia Lumia 710 5MP Deals

If you need a phone to place calls, receive/send emails and want FB, Twitter, etc, updates in a second, then Windows Phone 7.5 is the OS for you. I forgot to mention that MSN Messenger is available also! All of this without downloading or installing anything! All info is on your main screen tiles so you won't need to enter a specific application to see updates but in case you want full apps, you can download them for free! This combined with the superb quality of Nokia phones is a winner!

I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile, and without doing too much research, ended up with the Lumia 710. I was impressed immediately by how smoothly the phone operated. Opening apps or exploring the phone is quick and easy, and the tiles interface is visually useful and easy to learn. This phone integrated completely with my facebook & twitter accounts and was remarkably efficient. When a contact was duplicated it was easy to merge the data so the same person's name didn't come up multiple times. The phone also used wireless well, and seemed fast on 4g. The camera was fine, it seemed a little blurry at times but I didn't test it much. It was also easy for me to find a flashlight app which is essential for me.

With all those positives, I eventually discovered that the negatives were "deal-breakers" for me, and so I returned the phone and got an android 2.3 phone instead. Here are the negatives for the Lumia 710: The bluetooth is barely functional. It apparently pairs with devices like earpieces without a problem, but I don't use those. I use bluetooth to make quick file transfers between phones and laptops, and Windows phone doesn't support this action at this time. My old Nokia E63 could do this just fine (Symbian OS) so I was kind of baffled that Microsoft dropped the ball here. The Lumia 710 has no expandable storage so I had nowhere to use my little 8gb mini-sd card. While I should have done more careful research, the sales tech at T-Mobile told me it would take my mini-sd card. What he MEANT was that the Lumia 710 used a mini SIM card. I hadn't bought any of my mp3s through the Zune ecosystem so I couldn't get the phone to play my mp3s. While this might have been user error, it certainly wasn't functional enough for me! I managed to get a mp3 on the phone but then couldn't use it as a ring-tone either, which was mildly annoying.

So, in conclusion, the Lumia 710 did lots of stuff well, and my wife ended up getting one. For me though, with it not doing mp3s well and not doing bluetooth well and not having expandable memory meant it just didn't do the stuff I need my cell phone to do. What's worse is that, after seeing how smooth everything runs on Windows phone, my android phone is just clunky. It's a mytouch Q (LG, android 2.3) and it has crashed a couple of times, and opens some apps slowly. I would pick Windows phone every time over android if it would just do everything that people need phones to do!

I got this phone 1 month ago.

Pros: Great feel in the hand. It sure feels different than all the other phones I've ever had. All my friends said that it gives a higher class and comfortable feeling when held in hand.

Very fast when opening applications and doing day to day work. Seriously, you don't need the a billion apps on Applestore. Most apps a person use is probably 20 apps. This phone does everything, Word, PDF, Email, SMS, GPS, Facebook

Why load yourself with other applications that makes your phone so complicated? Less is More. Nokia clearly demonstrated this with this phone.

I switched from using an Android phone (HTC Sensation), and iPhone, I realized that this is the phone I will use from day to day. Make my business calls, emails and etc, instead of having a phone loaded with apps that just slows the phone down.

EXTREMELY LONG BATTERY LIFE!! I WENT TWO DAYS (48 hours) without charging my phone (mobile data turned on in total of 20 - 30 min, wifi off most of the time, other than 10 - 15 min when checking emails. average talk time.. not chatting)

Average charging cycle: 1.5 days / charge

Cons: Camera isn't so great.
