This is the time of technology more than anything
and we are crazy about it, whether it is an
ipad, laptops, tabs or cell phones, right?
A 12th class student enters a college, he
wants a new phone. Whether it’s a new college to show some tashhan or its a new
job to boast in front of others, even some people like to change their cell
phone after sometime.
I come in the last category of people. Since I
joined my post graduation, there was a plan of me buying it. This birthday my
parents gifted me NOKIA LUMIA 610.
As i have some experience about this product so this
post is regarding its positive and negative aspects. So if you are planning to
buy it or just curious about it, read on.
Price-Rs 12,300 (buy from flipkart, they give best
of deals)
Memory- 8 GB, 256 MB RAM
First the positive things:
1. Display- I am an avid reader and wanted a device
that would ease my reading spur of PDF. It clearly scores a point in that. I
tried sony tipo too, it was too small for my choice.
2. Cool interface- many of have seen windows 8
interface, it is quite similar to it, but it’s based windows 7.5(upgrade on its
way).
3. Memory- if comparison is done with Lumia 510,
obviously the more memory the merrier.
4. camera- its 5 megapixel camera is much better and
come with flash too.
5. Multitasking- yes it came as a surprise to me
too.
6. Great battery life- I just charge it for half an
hour and literally its battery support is awesome. There is a facility of
battery saver options too.
7. Value for money- strong build, Smartphone at this
price. All an all a great offer
Now the negative point
1.
No
Bluetooth usage- I was shocked when I bought this and i got to know its
Bluetooth is used for next to nothing. No sending or receiving files anything.
You can just transfer contacts using this. I read somewhere in next update may
be January they are going to fix this (hoping for it literally).
2.
Using
skydrive every time- transferring files is one of the tiresome work as first
internet connection is needed in the phone for this. The time is wasted first
in uploading it then downloading.
Zune
as a pc suite- remember your last Nokia, how easy it was to connect it and
transfer everything. With this new suite it is not.
Can’t
mark multiple contacts- if there is a message to be sent to your friends either
make a group for them or select them individually.
No
expandable memory- it is just you and your 8 GB. Use it wisely.
It
Hangs- I encountered this problem just few days back, while playing a game.
Less
number of applications- there are many games that can’t work on it, for that it
need at least Lumia 710. And as compare to android, many games are not free.
But after a whole month, i somehow started getting
used to it. So, It is all dependents on the person, what he wants, what all
specification he needs. For me, at first switching from android to it was very
difficult, but now you can say I am adapted to it. It is a good buy on the whole.
