My rather low-cost china phone, apart from cellphone and texting that are standard, includes many interesting features. I particularly like-
- capability of fitting two simm cards, meaning supporting two network service providers simultaneously;
- it has an FM radio, and is equipped with telescopic antenna enabling users to rid themselves having to use cumbersome headphones that act as antenna-this feature puts to shame the more costly so-called genuine Nokia sets
- Flashlight, a white-LED that can be quite handy
- a memory card. I have fitted a 2 gigabyte micro-SD card that is capable of holding many mp3s (the set also plays mp3-pro tracks). The information such as calendar and alarms is held on the memory card, so the internal memory remains for important things such as phonebook entries.
- bluetooth capability, a handy feature for exchanging pictures and files with other bluetooth-capable devices
- A micro-usb ports lets users plug into computers using the standard usb cable.
- Nokia BL-4L is a standard battery for most Nokia phones. The vendors of china phones sometimes fit low-costing look-alike battery that does not have much life between charges, likely cheapy NiMH. When this is replaced with genuine Li-ion battery, the life between charges improves dramatically.
- MP3 player that, combining with large memory card capability and shuffling feature, is quite a gift for us lovers of diverse music. It can play back video clips but not recording. Not bad.
- Sound recorder: again, tapping the potential of the storage capacity, it is possible to record stuff of interest to you: sermons, radio program, read in some stuff from a notice on the wall, bark of a cat, meowing of a dog, laugh of a baby, anything.
- Camera-the quality of photos is a far cry from a standard digicam, but good enough where there is no alternative at hand
- Standard "narrow-pin" nokia charger port, replacement of which can be easily obtained if it gets damaged, car lighter-socket chargers are also easily obtainable.
- UDX is a means of backing up your entire phonebook, where the app writes an xml file onto the SD memory card. When phone is corrupted or lost, the backup can be downloaded back into the restored or replacement set, or any UDX-capable cellphone. I like this feature. The xml file is all-text with html-like tags, therefore copying it somewhere as a security feature. I promptly sent it to myself as an attachment, so that the email containing the attachment remains stored into my email archive for retrieval anytime anywhere if needed: It can also be opened by a text editor where it displays showing xml tags, with no difficulty of picking out the info such as name, cellphone number, home number, email etc.
- Internet capability: the set is internet-capable. Although it comes hard-coded for china service providers, local cellphone companies are capable of configuring chinaphones for their network. The Pollex browser is not exactly OperaMini, but you can't get everything always, can you.
- Alarms, calculator, reminders and such features are all there. Plus, it has Flight mode that will enable you to play included games even in places where phones should turned off due to microwave interferences precautions.
For a mere fifty dollars, it was a good buy, I'll say it was a fine buy, and if something happens to it, I would go for the same set anytime. I love my cellphone.
