thanks for this latest upcoming models interaction……keep i touch
With features like FM recording it is a positive sign that nokia has got inspiration from LG sets that first featured this function atleast 1 - 1&1/2 years ago. I now request nokia to consider including following utility features too in each level of handsets if it is keen to provide its consumers true value for money products:-
1.Standard type mini-USB charger port cum Data port
2.Speaker volume level comparable to LG/SAGEM etc. that fill a room.
3.Add AM Radio Band in FM handsets as introduced in Sony Ericsson R306
4.LGKP110/MotorolaW230/270 SAGEM 453x etc. are providing micro SD memory expension and bundling sets with 1 GB memory at the MRP ranging from 2850 to 3300. Is there any such Nokia set? NO. Nokia has 2630/2600Classic/6070/6080/etc. handsets that are priced beyond this range (Rs.3300 to 4000 approx.) and even than do not have memory expansion. Shame on it. Thats only reason that I have till date bought only once new Nokia set (Nokia 8310 in year 2001 for Rs.15,000) and then ever I have always bought Nokia second hand sets.
