Advantages: 1. Large screen
2. Great sound
3. Unexpected functionality
4.Good camera

Disadvantages: 1. Fragile back cover
2.The back case gets very dirty

Comment: (Nothing more to say)

Advantages: The big screen, you can even watch movies from it, of course, in a very truncated quality. The phone looks quite simple, but stylish, that there is not a bad plus in its favor. There is a possibility of quick replacement of the second SIM card, the truth will still have to restart the phone. Yes, and charging enough for a long time.

Disadvantages: Manipulations with sims and phone settings. I have been using it for more than two years, and I still don’t know the whole ins and outs of the phone, and it’s too lazy to look for and read a manual.

Comment: In general, the phone was bought only to call and write SMS. What he successfully copes with. The lack of the possibility of a quick replacement and the first SIM card was not a great deal, although it may have been conceived. But on the whole, the phone is worth the money spent on it.

Advantages: Appearance, large fonts, very loud call, excellent sound and microphone, tel. book on 1000 contacts, it is convenient to adjust the volume of the call in the active profile by the button "hang up".

Disadvantages: There are no groups, there is no display of the number in the list of contacts, on the contact is 16 characters, there is no convenient viewing of contacts separately on the sim and on the phone.
In the 2-sim version you cannot set your own melody for each sim. Contact can not assign your melody.
Speed ​​dial with oddities - initially buttons 2 ... 9 independently clogged with contacts. The phone itself chooses which ones he liked from the SIM card. They can not be deleted, only reassigned to others. If you delete the assigned contact from the speed dial, the one that automatically clogged there earlier returns to this button.
No auto-off.
In the message comes a long and difficult, especially if they have accumulated more than one. The phone writes network information even if you turn off network alerts.
Sometimes the clock stops off. Those. when the alarm is on, if you turn off the phone for the night, in the morning there is a good chance not to wake up on time.
Battery. Nokia greatly exaggerates the claimed time of the phone.

Comment: The phone leaves a dual impression. On the one hand, we have the disadvantages of the S30 + platform. Changing the firmware to the latest version 06/30/11 did not lead to the elimination of major glitches and flaws. Engineers have worked on a completely different, put in an opera, a bing, which are not needed for free along with Facebook.
On the other hand, we have an excellent device for calls without any alternatives from other manufacturers. In it, everything is perfectly audible and visible. Fonts are readable, pleasing to the eye, they can be increased. In addition, in itself it is beautiful, thin and very comfortable to hold in your hand.
Well suited to a person with impaired vision and hearing who has few contacts to communicate.

Advantages: Vitachi Elina

Disadvantages: She knew all the flaws in advance and counted on it.

Comment: I bought this phone for an elderly person. The main requirements were: the usual case, not a clamshell, good audibility, the ability to call and send SMS. As a bonus, at least some kind of camera.
It is all there. It would be naive to count on a good camera at such a price, we did not expect it.

Advantages: Appearance.
Price.
Software novelty 2014
Battery (easy enough for a week)
Weight
Relatively large screen

Disadvantages: The device is only for calls, do not expect anything more from it!
The device is made of cheap plastic, which is also indicated by its price, the buttons have a very large backlash and extremely awful sensitivity, the charging plug and the date of the cable are kept on the snot, you have to be careful to use.
The inability to assign each contact a personal melody.
No notes feature
PO Symbion 40 is quite new but at the same time functionally cut to the ears.

Comment: I bought it with the sole purpose of using it as a dialer and nothing more than that, it copes well with this task.
Do not expect more from him !!

Advantages: big
bright
ergonomic

Disadvantages: big
bright
ergonomic

Comment: I read the reviews before buying, and a little "depressed", most of them turned out to be NOT positive ((but so-so this is my 4 nokia (n78,111,112, x2-02) I RISKED! and as it turned out not in vain! the menu is almost identical, and because of the second sim card, new functions, but it is mastered in 2 minutes! the phone button is "plus" - the sensor does not hang, the screen is not hooked there - everything becomes EXCLUDED! The bright screen (+ took the yellow one is impressive!) is loud, clear, spoken speaker, great microphone (only you can be heard and not the whole environment, the interlocutors are delighted), large ergono body This is an additional advantage! It’s convenient to type. The keys are highlighted, while it is thin (relatively) and light! It is comfortable in your hand! The result of the purchase got more than EXPECTED, after reading reviews, everyone is happy! Special thanks for the flashlight!

Advantages: Large screen, good battery capacity, ergonomics, appearance

Disadvantages: camera

Comment: A small review may help someone to decide on the choice of this model. The most basic is to understand for what purposes you are going to buy a phone, if as a gadget for yourself or a child, the Internet, etc. then most likely this model is not for you. If you need a workhorse with advanced features then it makes sense to pay attention because inexpensive phone, it looks a little much better than the simplest tapiks, a good battery - for people who talk on the phone several hours a day, I need the phone to live as long as possible (this was the main reason for the refusal of touch smartphones - to charge a smartphone 3-4 times the day is a brute force), it seems to be catching the network perfectly, good audibility on both sides of the conversation (although the inexpensive Nokia models have a slight echo effect - you get used to it within 1-2 days). The player is of quite good quality (it was not checked with native headphones), the radio is also quite good. The camera is more for availability, the quality is so-so (when buying, I realized that the camera is needed in rare cases to take some trifles for work, I’m going to take pictures of people who are going to take pictures for memory or look at models much more expensive or better to have a camera. menu (it would be nice to edit it). To sum up a little: this phone will be a good helper if you need it as an advanced phone for business people, lovers often and often communicate as an additional phone (for If you have a shovel or laptop, it’s always at hand. For children it’s possible that they’re not interested in weak functionality, it’s probably better to look at inexpensive smartphones for the same money. For seniors and pensioners, I consider it a better option to take a phone without unnecessary functions but with a more capacious battery ( if the functions of this phone will not be used.) In general, this phone suits me in the category up to 3000, I think the best option. I consider reviews on functionality and OS more a matter of habit, because of the lack of functions or quality, the negative is generally nonsense (since only a fool can hope to take a Mercedes for 3 kopecks). Good luck to all.

Advantages: normal phone

Disadvantages: install nothing

Comment: it would have a 515 gloss and normal OS

Advantages: -Big screen
-comfortable and easy
-2sim
-unified charging - micro usb
-Wonderful audibility of me and the interlocutor

Disadvantages: - disgustingly cut functionality of the s40 software (no shortcut settings, no incremental ring)
-low resolution, "pixel" icons and font
- not beautiful
- not very comfortable 5-way joystick

Comment: The average phone for calls and SMS - no more.

Advantages: 2 SIM cards - and a function has appeared, if one is not in the access zone, then you can enable forwarding to the second SIM card. Flashlight (finally) ... Slim body, not light and not heavy .... fits well in a man's hand. In the book a large font - contacts are visible. SMS immediately chat, ie you can immediately delete all sms from one person and not scour all. Plus the big screen is very good when you pay by bank online the whole sheet of password information about dates, dates and correctness of filling out the form comes immediately. Polyphony ringing, I hear the call everywhere. Contacts on bluetooth copied (700 pieces) in one minute, without kryakozyabra. The battery was discharged one day out of five.

Disadvantages: No hot-swappable SIM cards. The radio does not work without a headset. Charging is not Nokiev's thin, but micro usb plus everything is on top - you can wet it in the rain .... For the time being, the main joint for me was not able to connect the bluetooth ear with it, also by the way nokia. Maybe I have an old model .... I will still understand. There is no function in the profile to set up a call, either single or incremental, just a call and that's it. True melody you can put any from the memory card. In the contact, you can write only one number. So I had to write it down: Ivan1, Ivan2, Ivan3, etc., is not very convenient.

Comment: My old Nokia 112 began to podglyuchivat and I decided to buy myself another Nokia, without the Internet and other things. Just call occasionally sms to write. I was already going to buy a Nokia 515 (although I consider it unnecessarily expensive), as this device caught my eye. While I own a week. Positive emotions, there is a flashlight - which was so lacking for 112 ....)))) A very pleasant and responsive keyboard. In principle, everything fixes me. No regrets. Recommend.
