Why you should purchase this phone :

Unique design
Nice Phone with good features
Exchangeable battery covers

Why you should avoid this phone :

No front or secondary camera, hence video calling is not easily possible. I can’t understand why Nokia do not include front camera to their phones, even they are 3G enabled. The main reason is front camera.

Now a days, people are moving towards Android OS for better Apps support. If you are true lover of Symbian OS, only then go for this phone, else, go for Android.

This phone has no flash support in its camera. It is also a major draw-back.

Conclusion :

If you are interested in video calling, then please don't buy this phone , as it does not have front camera. You will have to face a lot of problems in video calling if your phone does not have a front camera.

If you do not want more apps support and like the Nokia Interface, then go for this phone, else, there are many options available in the market.
