Review: Excellent for the price - I purchased this for my teenage daugter at Christmas. A great little smart phone, not many bells or whistles but all the essentials work well. To the person who couldn't sync with his PC, you have to down load the software. Why people can't find this out using Google is beyond me. Yes a camera flash would be handy but its no deal breaker. If you want a compact phone for calls, text, email, MP3's and web browsing, this will do it. To be honest I prefer it to my company supplied Samsung S4, battery lasts longer and the phone responds instantly compared to the S4 when I'm wondering if I pressed the screen hard enough while it thinks about it. There aren't many apps yet but I don't care as many S4 ones are rubbish anyway.
Review: Really bad service from Nokia - The phone was great and arrived in time from desertcart. Then it developed a fault 4 months later. The screen locked and the phone froze. It was returned to Nokia for repairs 3 times. I spent a total of 6 weeks without the phone as Nokia kept it for 2 weeks at a time before returning it unrepaired. The third time, I had to yell at customer services and demand a refund before they finally fixed it. I wonder if I would have been treated the same if I was a contract customer and the phone was from a phone company. There is nothing wrong with the phone but it has put me off buying Nokia for life. The 1 star is not for the phone but for the service I received from Nokia. Really bad.

### ⭐⭐⭐ A good phone apart from apps and internet
*by J***A on 7 April 2014*

I was sceptical about getting a windows phone as I have stuck with android up until this purchase;. The layout is fine but I still prefer operating system of android. As my previous phone was a Google Nexus 4 I suppose I was always going to be a little disappointed with a phone this affordable however: The choice of apps on the Windows operating system is poor The internet is extremely slow even when using wifi (using 3G it is twice as slow) The phone keeps going back to the home screen when I am in the middle of using an app (this happens every 10 minutes or so) The navigation programme is terrible (it doesn't even load some days) Saying this, the camera is pretty good and I've had no problems with texting and calling. I definitely think you can get more value for money with other cheap android phones though.
