Key Pad : Nokia 3120c

The shape of the key board is fantastic. The shape of the keypad enables one to message very effectively and with high speed. The buttons are great and can be pressed with slight force.

When a silicone cover was used as protection of the phone, the performance of the key pad didn’t deteriorate much. But when a plastic housing was used, some minor difficulties were experienced. Here buttons were not easy to press and at times 2 buttons were pressed at the same time. Pressing number 3 sometimes caused exit messages as the both ‘3’ and the ‘Cancel’ was pressed at the same time. But if no protective layer is used, everything should be just as fine

Besides, since when did wearing a condom guarantee 100% satisfaction.

 

Nokia 3120c : Screen : 16M colours TFT - 240-320

The screen of Nokia 3120 is of amazing quality. Having a resolution of 240*320, 16 Million TFT screen puts itself ahead the majority of its counterparts in its price category.

The screen is nice and bright under normal conditions and its quality is praiseworthy. It is doubtful if any other phone could achieve this under given conditions of price and resolution.

Yet there is a problem, when taken out in the sun, readability plumbed. But it was yet useable to some extent. This wouldn’t be a problem if you can find a way to stop the strong sunlight falling in the screen (your own shadow might be useful for this).

Nokia 3120c : A good phone for a low budget

Nokia 3120c is a good phone targeting those of low budget. It isn’t a fancy phone but is sufficient for ever day work.

The first impression I had about the phone was its shape and ease to type messages. The buttons pressed smoothly and the phone was quick in moving through menus and launching programs.

Been on a Symbian S40 platform, it suffers with some disadvantages.  Not supporting high end software and games is the biggest disadvantage I see. Well you can’t expect everything from a cheap phone, can you?

The radio, media player, video camera are some of the features I love. They could have been better, but Nokia seems not interested in giving away things for a low price.

The camera, which is a 2MP with LED flash can take 640 by 480 (640*480) videos in 3gp format (15fps) of unlimited length. This in comparison with other models is very advantageous as most phones come with 320*240 resolution video at 12fps.

In general the phone is very good for its price and I hope to write more about it soon.
