Nokia 2323 Classic Mobile Phone

Connectivity

Other connectivity besides Bluetooth includes GPRS which is sometimes necessary to use the Life Tools service. Instead of the usual native browser, Nokia has now tied up with Opera for their lower ended devices and so Opera Mini is the default browser for the 2323 Classic. Shortcuts to Nokia’s Ovi site are also present and Nokia has also included an option to access its Download section to download content for the handset. Another great feature about the handset is that it has support for configuring and downloading IMAP and POP3 emails.


Life Tools
The 2323 is loaded with Nokia’s Life Tools application and services that’s designed to enable users of the Indian Agriculture Service sector to be better informed about market rates for their produce as well as stay informed and current on daily price changes from their mobile handsets. It’s a brilliant concept that farmers will find extremely helpful. It has a function that will help with learning English and even one for General Knowledge. Initially this initiative was tested in Maharashtra and it was in April that it was launched to the rest of the country. For more information click here.


Misc. Features
All of the regular features like an Alarm clock, Calculator, Convertor, Calculator etc. are available.


Battery

The 2323’s battery life is quite exceptional. I’ve used the handset for the last three days on a single charge. I haven’t used the music player too often but I have used the radio and sent quite a few messages as well as surfed the net from time to time. Talktime crossed the 4 hours mark so that’s another feather in its cap.


The Bottom Line
With a price tag of Rs. 2,891 (MOP), the 2323 is a well equipped device that’s been designed as a simple solution for those with an extremely low budget especially in emerging markets like ours. There are plenty of features available for all requirements and needs, which makes the 2323 Classic one of the better budget handsets available in the country.
