  1. These
    are actually pretty nice. I couldn’t care less about a phone’s platform
    so long as it does everything I need it to do really well. I’d be happy
    if I could have a phone that only had — and excelled at — the
    following capabilities:

    – Making calls
    – Sending/receiving SMS/MMS
    – Sending/receiving email
    – PIM (calendar, contacts, notes)
    – Music playback (local and streaming)
    – Mapping with voice navigation
    – Taking quality photos (with a flash)
    – Browsing the Internet

    Simple. Just do THOSE. I could care freakin’ less about a marketplace
    of any kind. Just build it, test the hell out of the thing to make sure
    the above work 99.9% of the time, and I’d be perfectly happy.

    1. Someone, somewhere says:

      That’s a good point. I am using Nokia 5800 which does all of the above, although a bit slow by today’s standards, but I certainly do not feel like replacing it by a 4x more expensive model which has a battery that needs to be recharged every night. My old 5800 still gets 3-4 days from its battery on moderate use.

    for the price i think these phones are worth it……
    306 and 311 both have wi-fi
    the touch and camera of 311 is better but its body is quite thick…….

    the problem of most buyers are, stores doesn’t have test phones so buyers can navigate and see the difference between the 305, 306, and 311. This sucks because buyers have to look for another store or look for another PHONE.. ty

  4. Can you provide me with a detailed procedure to set up multiple meetings on a Friday (say) at 07h30 for 12 a 12-week period?
    I cannot find out how it works. I keep getting an error (intervals) or it schedules for every day in the period )even though i set repeat day as Friday and repeat weekly.
    Thanks
