UPDATE after 4 months of use
EDIT: I've used the phone 40% of the time since April 2018. Heres my updated review Pros: - LONG!!! battery life - The smaller profile makes talking on it or pocketing it very nice - This may be personal, it's my favorite phone to use headphones to talk with - LONG!!! battery - Small touches to the camera software are interesting* - The game snake, paired with nostalgia topped with public stares - Headphone jack - The recording software records calls if you need that - Surprisingly has blue tooth, I only say that because would you expect it to? Cons: - a T9 keyboard makes typing crawl - No 4G LTE (2g, 3g only) - Incredibly poor Internet experience - No GPS - No wifi - Poor picture quality (I still like them lol) - No whats app - A nearly non existent app store - MSRP price point a bit high at $60 - Definitely won't replace your smart phone Other notes: Things like CNN, You tube, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Yahoo mail and etc have there own feature phone website. I've ordered through amazon on it, and it was fine, and a little annoying. This WILL NOT replace your smart phone, it's a nice secondary though. ORIGINAL POST BELOW: If you need e-mail, FAST texting, HIGH speed internet, traditional apps, GPS, a good camera, Wi-Fi, 4g LTE or anything similar, this is not the phone for you. For most this is not going to be your primary phone. Now that we are past that I’ve seen some misinformation in the reviews. Below are my responses to the incorrect information I’ve seen. *The review photo shows the location of the quick settings button.* - The volume can be quickly adjusted with a single key press. Use the quick settings key and it can be adjusted quickly. Some folks have stated they must go through the settings menu which is inaccurate. - The phone does have predictive text. Just as the volume above simply hold down the quick settings key. It is right there. You can also turn this on from the text message menu. A review stated that it was unavailable. - The phone does have silent. Simply push the quick settings key. You will find the option to silence the phone. A couple reviews said the opposite. - You must use the correct SIM card size which is a micro SIM card. Do not attempt to use a nano SIM card. I’ve seen that cell phone stores installed the nano sim and blamed the phone for not working. - You need to check with your carrier to ensure you’ll will have the network you need for the phone. Alternatively you can use Open Signal to verify 2g/3g in your area. - The T9 texting is definitely a learning curve. The first letter of your sentence will capitalize automatically. (a review said it didn’t) Simply push the quick settings button during your text. You can switch from lower case, all caps, first letter caps and numbers. - The manual indicates that a double SIM card version and a single SIM card version exists. HOWEVER Amazon and other sellers are not clear at all to which one they sell. Nokia hasn’t been clear on how to tell which one is it either. (The phone I bought directly from Amazon was a single SIM card) I recommend you fully read the manual from the Nokia website. I took 10 mins to do that and it made a world of difference. This phone is for: Evening phone Something to take to places high risk to your smart phone (water park, festivals) Social media/digital cleanse Very young children or senior citizens that have trouble with smart phones Emergency phone A spare phone when your smart phone battery runs out I’m using this to take a break from social media and the news. I also use my iPhone 6s Plus still and that will not change. There are many more positives and negatives to this phone. I have purposely chose to not include that in my review. I wanted to focus more on inaccuracies and uses. As there seemed to be some misinformation in other reviews.
