"this phone is good as a first touch screen phone"

"Well I ordered this phone & was delivered at my address within 5 working days which is appreciable,apart from that Flipkart provides Guanine Products at genuine Price,so over all i would like to say Flipkart is the Best Shopping Site"

" Now coming to the phone at first glance out of the the box the phone has got a very premium look, nice build, overall curves of the phone are very good feels like a mini Apple Iphone from first impression"

" Now about its OS, the ASHA platform is very simple and intuitive interface very easy to use with just two screens the fastlane and the app screen, Some of the attributes of these OS have been copied from android as I felt after using the phone for just an hour as also I am an ex-android user(used android for nearly 4 years) but still then it has some new and special aspects of it's own like the swipe feature to exit any app which to me is very cool and refreshing experience as I dont play games in mobile so I havent seen any lag in the interface or using any other app, the overall user experience is 5/5 though some minor improvements should be made which for now can be overlooked as for 4900 bucks you cant expect more than these, the plus point of the device is it battery its 17 hrs talk time and 26 days standby time which is the best in it's category i have got the delivery on 10th an till now 55% of battery is still there(which includes 7 hrs of wifi, some talking, using the net, sms, clicking pic's with the camera) which is a thumbs up for me as well as the scratch resistant display and the easy hot swappable sim switching method which is not found in any other phones, the capacitive two point touch is also very responsive you don't get these features for a 5K a mobile these days please dont compare it micromax, karbonn or some other indian brand it is miles ahead from them and also the durability of these product is much better than those product and it is a proven fact that nokia makes very durable mobiles, now coming to the camera though it is a 3.2 MP camera it doesnt provide the quality pics from the desired lens it has my ex- lg Optimus One P500 with 3.2 MP camera provided much better pics and sharp images than these one still then you can use it after making some adjustment, the pictures seem to pixelated when you use the zoom and I don't prefer using the snapper at night coz the quality of the pics are not up to the mark while Nokia are known for their powerful camera's but it is understandable that for 5K you cant get best of the both worlds you need to make some adjustments and the camera is little disappointment but you can live through it though in the day it gives considrably good to average kind of photos, now the app ecosystem is of what I say 50-50 it doesnt have popular messeging apps like whatsapp"

" wechat, etc but we can expect that within months those popular applications will be made available for these mobile but for now you can use the Nokia Chat which is given pre-installed in the mobile the nokia express browser doesn't give the benefit of android browsers quality or their usability though an improvement could have been made here as Nokia had primarily made these mobile for the Internet, By the Internet so I felt little disappointed about the browser experience but that is not much of an big issue which I expect Nokia will fix in their future updates for these device"

" Overall a very very good device and I feel proud that I bought these device it's worth every penny I spend on it"

"good phone for basic use"

" But these are the only two things that are good with this phone"

"This phone is very good"

"cool phone to gift to the elder members of your family"

" I compared it with my sisters LG Optimus one and pictures taken through the old phone is much better quality than this"

" Anyone who is thinking of buying this as a smart phone"

"I bought this for my mother who cant stand complicated phones such as Android or iPhone"

" This tiny phone is a masterpiece from Nokia in low range phones"

"I gifted this phone to my sister"

"Please find better phone than this"

"In this price range we can get android phone which will be better than this in case of running apps"

" I have to say the phone was so intuitive that my father learned to use it very easily even though he has never used any touch screen phone before"

"-QUALITY : Nokia has really gone back to the good old days of REALLY TOUGH phones"

"Overall, it's worth buying"

"This is a good phone with decent build quality and simple OS, its a smartphone for beginners and old people who dont want complicated android and constant updates to their apps"

"No doubt about phone"

"First of all Flipkart should not accept Such Failed Versions for Sale on its platform, Bcoz we as a customer trust Flipkart a lot, This mobile i Gifted to my father with in a span of ONE month im receiving complaints that Touch is not working and they are saying that touch lost and it needs to be replaced and it need to rest in the service centre for One Week now"

" And after purchasing a new mobile also we need to roam around service centers like a old mobile"

"PHONE IS GOOD BUT WI-FI DOES NOT WORK"

" THIS PHONE IS BEST FOR PARENTS OR KIDS"

"Pros :* The phone is light weight - looks good - easy to hold - compact"

" Both those mobiles are pure value for money"

"an BETTER THAN ANDROID at this price range, basically don't expect the phone to do miracles, its for telephony, basic social networking and now even whats app is supported, and basic Games, don't expect to play NFS :PCamera is above average, now with 503 it'll b better, Flash is missed, Battery life , easily two days ,even with heavy usage , tell me an Android that does that"

"So the Asha 501 is a Cute phone especially for a young first timer , who is buying his/her first phone, its a jack of all trades , and doesn't let u down"

"This phone only supports whats app , line , chat and not hike , viber etc"

" For girls like selfie queens this phone would not suite them so much because there is no front camera and bad camera is only good for taking selfies "

" It is a decent handset with a lovely touch screen"

"this phone is good as a first touch screen phone"

" Now about its OS, the ASHA platform is very simple and intuitive interface very easy to use with just two screens the fastlane and the app screen, Some of the attributes of these OS have been copied from android as I felt after using the phone for just an hour as also I am an ex-android user(used android for nearly 4 years) but still then it has some new and special aspects of it's own like the swipe feature to exit any app which to me is very cool and refreshing experience as I dont play games in mobile so I havent seen any lag in the interface or using any other app, the overall user experience is 5/5 though some minor improvements should be made which for now can be overlooked as for 4900 bucks you cant expect more than these, the plus point of the device is it battery its 17 hrs talk time and 26 days standby time which is the best in it's category i have got the delivery on 10th an till now 55% of battery is still there(which includes 7 hrs of wifi, some talking, using the net, sms, clicking pic's with the camera) which is a thumbs up for me as well as the scratch resistant display and the easy hot swappable sim switching method which is not found in any other phones, the capacitive two point touch is also very responsive you don't get these features for a 5K a mobile these days please dont compare it micromax, karbonn or some other indian brand it is miles ahead from them and also the durability of these product is much better than those product and it is a proven fact that nokia makes very durable mobiles, now coming to the camera though it is a 3.2 MP camera it doesnt provide the quality pics from the desired lens it has my ex- lg Optimus One P500 with 3.2 MP camera provided much better pics and sharp images than these one still then you can use it after making some adjustment, the pictures seem to pixelated when you use the zoom and I don't prefer using the snapper at night coz the quality of the pics are not up to the mark while Nokia are known for their powerful camera's but it is understandable that for 5K you cant get best of the both worlds you need to make some adjustments and the camera is little disappointment but you can live through it though in the day it gives considrably good to average kind of photos, now the app ecosystem is of what I say 50-50 it doesnt have popular messeging apps like whatsapp"
