Most economical 3G Nokia Phone - Nokia 2730 Classic

The Nokia 2730 Classic 3G mobile is a feature packed and yet the most economical 3G phone in India from the kitty of Nokia. Nokia 2730 Classic The 2730 classic is an edge above any other low-end phones available in India, with its QVGA screen, 1GB microSD card and 3G data speeds. It has a solid body but is untidely put together. On applications part it is simply great. There are Java games and others and one can download new themes too like from Ovi store. The Nokia 2730 classic comes preinstalled with a lot of the standard apps like Ovi Contacts and Ovi Share. Browser shortcut launches Opera Mini 4.2 alongwith which you get Ovi integration. For Emails,phone supports everything from Ovi Mail, AIM, AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo mail and Gmail, as well as some others. Setup is very easy too. Ovi Contacts lets you chat with other Ovi and Gtalk users. Ovi Share – it lets you upload photos and videos to the Ovi servers where your friends can view them. One can use Nokia Map Loader or latest Ovi Maps for navigation but still one don’t get voice-guided navigation. The Nokia 2730 classic doesn’t have built-in GPS and thus for navigation, you’ll have to use an external GPS receiver over Bluetooth. The Camera is 2MP fixed-focus with no flash. It offers a self-timer, a white balance setting.The image quality is pretty poor even for a 2MP camera. The messaging part nothing novel as such – you get a shared editor for SMS and MMS messages and you can also send Flash and Audio messages. Nokia 2730 Classic Contrastingly, the Nokia 2730 classic call features are just fine. It doesn’t have smart dialing but offers voice clarity for enhanced in-call sound. During calls, the sound isn’t very loud. Signal reception is not very strong either.
