The Nokia 2730 Classic is a cheap alternative to the standard 3G phones that are out there from other manufacturers. In fact it is the cheapest 3G phone Nokia have ever produced and available in the shops Sim-Free from around £60.
Strangely even for the cheap price tag it is still excellent value for money and drops very few features to compensate for the price tag, yet still manages to look good.
Nokia say in their launch statement that the phone is aimed at emerging telecoms market, such as Africa and rural parts of the third world, yet we aren't falling for that. the phone is going to make a big dent in the UK market as well. The credit crunch means that we are almost like a third world country in the amount of money families have to spend at the end of each month, so this is going to be popular here too.
The phone is a dual band, holds a 2" 240 x 320 pixel screen and a basic 2 mega pixel camera. The phones memory can be extended upwards to 2GB with a microSD memory card. Other features include Bluetooth, Full multimedia player capable of playing all the major formats, 3.5mm audio socket, stereo wired headset and the standard package includes a 1GB memory function. Talktime on this phone is 3.3 hours on 3G and 7.4 hours with the standard GSM network with around 17 hours standby time.
The downsides and to this phone are few but they are there, the 2 megapixel camera is basic compared to others these days. The 2" screen is a little smaller than usual and can make things a little tricky when typing or reading information. There is no HSDPA support so downloads are capped to 384 kbps. One may have a gripe about a video calling being missing, but who cares. If you want those features then it needs to be paid for, most people don't use them and thus don't want to pay for them.
