It would be completely wrong for anyone to presume that the Nokia 2323 Classic is just a very basic low end budget handset. In fact you’d be absolutely wrong if you did. Inequitably wrong. But here’s the overall picture. Form Factor The 2323 Classic comes with a sleek yet simple design. The keypad is large and comes with a mix of Hindi and English alphabets and with good reason - I’ll explain later. The five way nav-pad is large and comfortable for navigation. The device has a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display and sports a 128 x 160 pixel resolution and 65K colors. It’s a light weight handset and so extremely easy to tote around. On one side at the top it has a port flap that conceals the charging port, a proprietary USB port as well as a 2.5mm earphone socket. The rear panel is kind of a lock shut system that once closed it’s really hard to open irrespective of the release button on top. Features and Performance Interface Running on a Symbian OS with a Series 40 UI, the handset is easy enough to use. The UI itself is fluid and smooth. Animations in the transition effects give it a very friendly and tech-savvy look and feel to it. What bothers me is that although the 2323 has a large display, the fonts are too large and options tend to look a little clustered together but there’s still plenty of space all around. There was no way of reducing the size except for certain options. The keypad language settings will allow users to switch between Hindi, English, Gujarati and even Marathi with the UI giving way to the adjusted language. Media The handset is curiously equipped with a music player that reads AAC, AMR and MP3 formats as well as a video player that reads 3GP files. What’s curious about it is that it has no support for a memory card and comes with just 32MB of internal space. Nokia hasn’t even included a USB cord for transferring files though Bluetooth 2.0 is readily available. The FM radio which works just fine comes with a recording option as well. A stand alone voice recorder is also present. |
