Disadvantages: less memory size

Nokia 2626
*********
Nokia has a good range of budget phone with excellent battery life and solid design. My just previous review was on Nokia 2310, a good budget phone from Nokia and now I am again going to discuss about another great phone from Nokia specially meant for call only. Phone is similar to Nokia 3210 but it has slightly good feature than 2310 like good display or bigger display screen and GPRS connectivity.
I am going to discuss here about its some good features and advantages with some disadvantages also.
****
Design and look
Phone is completely meant for only call purpose and it doesn't have costly features but besides that there are good features available in this category phone. Dimension is measured about 104 x 43 x 18 mm, and weight is slightly lower than 2310 with about 91 gm. Screen is slightly bigger than 2310 resolution also good with CSTN, 65K colors screen. There may be some problem in bright environment to see text in screen but the quality of screen is excellent. Keypad is also very good with soft keys and 4 way navigation key.
****
Memory
Phone has only 2 MB of shared user memory for data, contacts, messages and java applications. It is less than 2310 which has about 4 MB of user memory and I think this is very les memory what we can required for this category of phon. Phone also support GPRS so that at least 4MB is essential for this. Phone can store 300 of contacts in its phone memory which is slightly more than 2310 which can only store up to 200 contacts. And it has been improved in terms of call record also with capacity of store 20 call list in each category with dialed, received and missed call.
****
Connectivity
Phone has only GPRS connectivity and that is what we can aspect in lower budget level phones. good solution they have provided but there is no USB support in this phone. Phone is completely meant for call purpose so that there are no chances of keeping features like Bluetooth, 3G or WLAN. That may cause higher price of phone and it can't fit in budget category phone.
****
Battery back-up
Excellent feature about this phone is its great battery back-up with Standard battery, Li-Ion 970 mAh (BL-5C), and the same battery they have provided in 2310 also. We can get about more than 4 hours of talktime from this battery and standby time is also excellent. This is a great feature in this phone and Nokia is popular brand in terms of good battery back-up also.
****
Other good features are its FM radio for our entertainment and sound intensity is also reasonable but it doesn't support stereo sound even in headset also. That is not a measure issue in this phone because it is completely budget phone and features are very less and phone is for your call purpose only.
****
Over all conclusion
Phone is excellent with compare to 2310 and it has some improved or extra features over 2310 like GPRS connectivity and bigger display screen but its memory size is very lees with only 2MB. Phone is excellent for only call purpose with good battery life. Recommended.

Summary: go for call now..excellent budget phone.
