New Nokia Phone for Rs. 500

wow .... what an idea .. It would be very useful for students and specially rural people.

$10phone, 1p call, 1 character SMS. Can Nokia do something about sugar and vegetables? would love apples at 10/- a kilo.

I think its great idea ....to reach rural areas in india as well as for students ...

Its a great idea......if it have a good battery...many of us needs such types of cellphones... Nokia $10 we r waiting...

It will be useful for villagers and people who know only to attend a call

It would be useful for school going kids. Just incoming, outgoing and caller ID is enough. No memory, No SMS features needed. Any way SIMs will provide some memory to store members.

If this phone can provide us with some storage space to store phone numbers, CLIP, good battery backup, less charging time, unbreakable body shell AND the facility to send and receive SMSs, I feel this phone will be a super duper hit! :)

yup sure.. i am passionate of nokia mobiles...for sure i ll buy this mobile... pls update me about the date of launch

ya..i like Nokia set,it would be better for those who r using multiple sim.

OF COURSE I'LL BUY IT, nowadays everybody has more then one phone, and Almost second one is use to be cheapest one, and people mostly purchase it in second as to use it as just business contacts and professional purpose,

If it will give call and sms feature with decent look, i will definitely buy this.

Although NOKIA has a large chunk of the Indian Mobile Phone Market, it is know to give the Indian market a step-motherly treatment. What exlse explains NOKIA's policy of introducing Models in the Indian market many months after the same has been launched in the other international markets such as UK & USA ?

I won't. But in India so many people who are not used any mobile phone yet will go for this phone (that means the majority) and also the companies who offer mobile phone to it's employees (not high class). Good work Nokia

i dont think any body will buy it if any body then it will be the starters only as bcos the more the prices are down the more less attractive and less features u find where in india the people and hungry about new designs features and large screen with edgier graphics and cuts .Its a simple example to compare as of what happened with TATA NANO.Now on this current people have money and they are purchasing and with the previous economic melt down people in india where purchasing,did it stop i dont thing so so how u think they will buy one of this

Dont listen to negative reviews.. solid phone, good response, fast enough compared to 5800 (i felt faster than 5800 old editions) gotta compromise 3g though, but go for 5230 then for ~1k extra.. again it is a great phone.. go ahead and buy.. 100 times better than non smart corby :P

i got mine last friday!!! fisttime seeing techtree posting something late :) costed 7450/- from nokia priority dealer Trivandrum

This is something making us laugh. Most likely an use and throw phone. Few can use it as an temporary phone in may situations. Poorest people can buy this handset which will be worth as long as they work well.
