Hi All,

I bought this phone in March 1st, this is my first touch mobile.
Nokia 2100 ---> Nokia 3220 ---> Nokia 5130 XMusic ---> Nokia 500

. The look and feel of this device is good. For a device under 10k, you get what you paid for nothing more/ nothing less. This is a good budget device and a great one if you are a Nokia Fanatic!!!

The only problem is the Anna OS, the phone hanged and the UI was not that responsive. So i updated it to Belle OS(314 MB download) through Nokia Ovi suite!!

Nokia 500 is best phone in this category of price range 8 to 10k. I have brought this phone 2 months back while it was having Os Symbian Anna. But in Feb 2012 it has got the update of Symbian Belle which i have upgraded through Nokia suite. Now the phone is amazing and i bet it can challenge any version of Android.
I must say Android is just a free open license OS while Symbian belle is burn tested OS through Nokia and has lots of features over Android. Android sucks lots of Battery power wh...

I have used this cell for about a year now. I have had a few complaints, but this was the best cell available for about 9k back then so I bought this.

Pros- Looks good. (A couple of friends asked me- "Is this Nokia Lumia?")
- Good, responsive screen
- Decent 5MP camera
- It has Belle now
- Very sturdy. I drop it frequently but it has no cracks or even scratches.
- Inbuilt 2GB memory
- Attractive back-panels to freshen-up the look of the phone

Cons- No fla...

I ordered this phone for my mother. She needed a smart phone for her emails. She also wanted a large font and a big screen, since most adults prefer larger digits these days. The phone is pretty good. Good touch, good camera and loud enough. It has a user guide on the menu at all times which makes operating the phone & problem solving much easier.

A good phone by nokia in this price range...it has a good super responsive touchscreen...nokia maps are best...music experience is good...a good processor (although the processor does not performs like 1GHz processor)...a ggod battery life..

It has many limitations also..first the phone gets automatically switched off and then restarts on long usuage (1-2 hours).
the camera really lacks the flash..no front camera..
limited third party software..
symbian anna still catching up with android..

Hi,
I purchased this product from flipkart.com.
At first I like to say flipkart srvice was awesome.

First of all when i ordered the product it was written on flipkart that the OS is Symbian ANNA. But when i got,it was Belle Refresh. Its great news for all who want to buy this.
It is great phone. Camera is awesome. Belle interface is great. Display quality awesome. Touch Is Really Nice. Angry Bird is Pre installed. OS is great. No hanging problem.

PROS:
1. Nokia Belle. i.e no hanging problem...

I bought this phone mainly for navigation purpose and it is doing the job quite well. Nokia maps and navigation is one of the best features of this phone at this budget.
Pros:
1) Have all the necessary features you need in a smart phone e.g. wifi,3g,capacitive touch.
2) Battery backup is average.
3) Easy to handle, good looks, comes with 3 different skins :)
Cons:
1) Occasional hangs & restart.
2) No flash.
But the truth is, I can bear these drawbacks as I don't believe in expecting t...
