Nokia 301 - User Reviews

  • Does it support themes and Java games?

  • No problem 👍

  • OK, thanks for the help! :-)

  • The music player plays mp3 in high quality compared to newer nokias. Unfortunately batterylife is only 2 days, Im still looking for a phone with long battery life and mp3 player with decent sound! Otherwise I like this phone, it`s small, talk sound is good, you can connect to your mail, keys are good, easy to use

  • The best non-smartfone ever !!!!!!!

  • yes, I had the same problem....

  • The screen gets a lot of marks and scratches very easily. I don't like it.

  • Nokia 301

  • Nokia sold over 1.5 BILLION handset with the s40 and s60 operating system, now whatsapp expects the developed world to go out and buy new updated smart phone's to keep in contact with family and friends through whatsapp,thank you facebook.

  • its because whatsapp licence with nokia ended/expire at 30 dec 2017 with original nokia company. Until 2015 to 2016 nokia mobile manfuctured by foxconn and then now by hmd global under nokia brand name.nokia 230 and nokia 105 is not manfucture by original nokia.

  • the nokia 301 is an excellant phone for a feature phone( it is not a smart phone),great operation system,key pad is easy to use for my big bricklaying hands which makes texting easy,easy to read thick font,single texts system or choice of conversation and has a place to keep your important texts in archives,great shortcut system on keypad with speed dial option,great organizer system as well,contacts up to 1000 names,records calls and records conversation,has a handy 3 pixel camera,i use this phone for my work phone for 5 years and its been droped many times has beer spilt on it down the pub and is still going strong,the browser is slow and outdated now being 3g,i wanted the same phone in 4g to get little bit quicker internet as i do not like or need a smart phone,but can not believe the cheap and useless feature phone on the market today including what nokia are selling in 2019,there is talk here in aussie that 3g is ending in a few years,nokia can you please bring this great little phone back in 4g before 3g is fased out.

  • The best phone I have ever used. I need to buy new one but I cannot find

  • Shoud i buy this phone or not? What is the problem of this phone ? Pls reply

  • Hello, What,s happening is that the default setting on the radio is automatically jumping around the place searching like mad to find new stations ! Here,s how you put the reigns on : You can go to settings in Radio app, then select "set frequency manually" for each station you want to save, and START searching YOURSELF MANUALLY. But here,s the very important bit. You MUST go back to settings to actually SAVE the STATION you have just scrolled to and stopped at, FOUND/SELECTED ( the Navigation Button is used like the Tuning Dial would have been used on an old Radio) Then you just repeat these steps to build up your list of stations, 1,2,3,4.........up to a max of about 20. Hope this helps.

  • do you get any delays when sending out what app messages? mine sometimes takes up to 30 min before it goes out

  • I'm having problems with what app messages not going out immediately but being sent after long delay. anyone having this issue?

  • This phone is good but it's a very costly and in the phone no wy-fi

  • Internal memory is about 170MB, with quite a large part of it free to use!!

  • No minimize unfortunately! Whatsapp works well! Can attach easily with gmail and all email. I think size of file can be very big. 3G works very well. MP4 not sure! No, actually I think it cannot!!

  • No, no voice dial

  • With the new update software works everything, whatsapp, gmail, & new design. Its a great phone :)

  • Is this supports whatsapp

  • super pone it was a nice pone

  • I have been using this phone for two years and it works fine. I have dropped it several times and it is not broken. Cannot compare to a smartphone but for a basic phone it is a brilliant device. One day I will possibly upgrade to a lumia 620 because the 301's web browser is very poor and it has terrible apps. However music, radio, Calender, alarm and so on work great. Easy to use, strong and good quality phone but not very advanced. Overall you do get what you pay for.

  • yes nice phone for dummies

  • Nice phone if you have big smartphone and if you want an extra usefull phone

  • For me this was a terrible phone. Most things worked fine. However, I had two major problems with the phone: 1) Very poor sound quality, there was a constant background noise during conversations. 2) The alarm function doesn't work consistently when phone is switched off and charging. Sometimes the alarm wouldn't go off, time had stopped, I had to reset time and date when I turned the phone on again.

  • Plz sir my phone sd card sotrag automatic format if phone on off.

  • Am using the dual sim without any problem. the phone is good. my own is nokia made in CHINA

  • Works on my phone, but must be videos converted to 320x240. I use the CONVERT-feature of VLC to convert mpg2films to mp4. Using the following settings: VIDEOCODEC=Mpeg4, bit rate= 512Kbs, Frame Rate 23,98, Resolution: scale=1, size 320pix x 240 pic. AUDIOCODEC= Mp3, bit rate= 64K, 2 channels, samplerate 48K.

  • How many phone numbers does this phone can store? Does it has unlimited phone book memory? If the space in main memory ends, does it does store phone numbers in the extended memory card inserted in the phone? Pl help!!?

  • I could not be more agree with you. It is faster and more useful than many smartphones in the market.

  • The best phone ever!!! This is a really useful machine, I am fed up of pricy fancy smart-shits. May be only Nokia keep producing normal phones. Nokia forever!

  • For all of you who have problems with youtube: I have had such problems with youtube application already installed on the phone. Then I downloaded Opera Mini, and youtube videos stream fine, even in fullscreen. Also, a great recomendation for Opera Mini browser, so much better than built-in Nokia Xpress browser.

  • Please (1) Can one minimize on this phone? (2) Can whatapps work on this phone? (3) can E-MAIL & G-MAIL with attaching and downloading work on it? (4) What size of file can it attach and download (5) Is the 3G working well (6) Can it play MP4 video?

  • i have the same problem videos of youtube dont work

  • Speaker sound is loud or not??

  • bought samsung 1200..and deleted this model..eww

  • I have been using NOKIA 301 since last one year rather more than that,I have found it a complete phone set for a person for his basic need of call sms and little bit entertainment. Please keep it mind its not the ANDROID phone. Why we want to compare it with any android...! A basic hand set with good quality battery and basic FACEBOOK application. For me its sufficient. I shall recommend this cell phone for basic handset user. Thanks.

  • its a network problem bro.try to look for a good signal location..i've been using this nokia 301 for almost 2 years now and its been a great simple phone.

  • I use the phone for texting/phoning and listening to music/audio plays and watching the odd film in bed - screen is large enough to watch films at short distance. Battery is just amazing, seldom needs recharging more than once every 10 days. I don't use it for internetting, it has only limited functionality in that area. If you are a fanatic web surfer and social media visitor I would advise a smart phone. Other great feature of this phone and one of the reasons I bought it is that it keeps standing up wihtout any help.... You can make selfies with the phone 10yards away! Cool... The camera is good at daylight pix, the panorama feature comes in handy at times. Radio is great too, you can listen through the headphones or the speakers. In some countries (like mine) the recording button is disabled (copyright rubbish). Only complaint I have is the playlist management. Creating playlists has been hell to me on every NOKIA phone sofar(is this a brand thing?). You can't simply select files and then put them into a playlist. You can add files to a playlist only one by one. One by one by one by one... At hundreds of files the word 'cumbersome' springs to mind. Former NOKIAs had audio facilities like equalizer etc. Now gone, miss that too - pitty.

  • An entry model with very basic features, but is quite well equipped for daily use for some light internet tasks. Pros: Really well built and good quality materials. Good microphone, speakers and overall audio quality. Bluetooth, standard USB. 3G, working good with HSPA+ (10Mbit/s dl and 6.2 Mbit/s ul), in fact - since it can work as a USB serial modem, it saved my butt several times already when landline DSL connection failed. Bright screen and high color palette. New browser (WebKit based) works way better that previous one - although it is still quite limited and to that it has a few annoying quirks. Facebook, Twitter clients and IM app out of the box. New mail application is much better that previous, although still quite buggy unfortunately. Cons: Average battery life - gets better when you take care of battery, but still only average (~6 days standby or about 5 hours talk time on 3G with notifications disabled, doubles for GSM only). In dual-SIM model only one SIM card (internal) can use 3G. Very limited multitasking (basically only the notifications app and radio/mp3 player can run in the background). Very limited software options - this thing only runs Java apps. 64 MB RAM - don't expect any heavier websites to even try to load - in fact the default browsers (both the photo and web) won't load bigger images at all. System is buggy and has poor memory management - I had it crashing at least once a month. Volume settings - somebody decided that people are deaf and made the lowest volume for phone functions ridiculously loud - there goes discretion.

  • Youtube videos don't play always stuck at 60% buffering and stop bad phone

  • i dnt knw y peple talking rubbish abt ds phone ,it is a nice wd nice camera ,

  • Battary time is not well. but look is nice

  • Viber is not there

  • Is it symbian

  • Is SanDisk SDHC 32 GB Class 10 Ultra Compatiible with Mobile

  • viber

  • all these bad comments about this phone, it's a brilliant bit of kit for it's size and price, not to be compared with a smart phone, because it's not, but it's the best next thing but more robust and easier to carry around. another aspect that nobody seems to mention is it's music storage with 32Gb micro sd card, and the convenience of having thousands of your favourite music tracks with you to share where ever you go. got built in speaker thats not too bad, and bluetooth. cameras quite respectable for general shots. all in all an awful lot packed into a small unit that is not bulky in your pocket and don't have to worry about sitting on it. i use it as my daily work phone ans save my smart phone for when its more convenient to use. don't knock this 301 it has a very useful place in our daily lives.

  • simple,keren,trendy! nice

  • I have this phone, with some problems. 1: By accepting or rejecting the incoming call results in phone restart. 2: Outgoing call also results in phone restart. 3: Opening contacts menu gives an "Operation Failed" error. I restored my phone but still facing the same problem. Tried to flash it with its firmware but surprisingly the Official Nokia PC Suite doesn't support this one.

  • I am having the same problem. As soon as I updated the phone i lost functionality of the mail icon. Looking for an answer I have read that the fix is a factory reset - but does this work or is there an alternative method of restoring functionality?

  • this phone is too expensive in sierra leone it cost $100 is this a fair price?

  • very bad battery back up and i never suggest anyone to brought this phone.

  • very awesome phone and i have been using it for last 8 months good battery,camera,fast internet with all new apps

  • It is always restarting.the nokia x2 series was better than this phone,its asha and doesnt even shut down like normal phones it is no more good as the earlier No kia mobiles.

  • yes, you can read and reply on your google account, also works with twitter, ebuddy, facebook, livemail, nokia mail via yahoo account. you need to update the phone software to version 9.04 before doing anything else. then update each apps. you may need to delete/uninstall whatsapp if you see conflict on your browser.

  • update your phone to version 9.04. you will find it from settings>phone>download software. OTA

  • remove/uninstall whatsapps, then open each apps and update each apps. make sure the phone software is updated too to version 9.04

  • update your phone to version 9.04, you will find the OTA from settings>phone>download software

  • it is a gud phn bt no wifi

  • Is the 301 bluetooth compatible with JaguarXF? Not shown on Jaguars rather out of date listing. Also the Lumia 530.

  • Nokia 301 is a good phone.

  • Nokia 301 is a good phone.

  • how long does the battery dormant

  • Duh, C5 runs Symbian OS and 301 is Java-based S40. Obviously they will function differently.

  • If you are buying it expecting that it is like those old sweet nokia c500 or other phones, you are going to regret like me, It's a good looking phone with nice color and all .. untill u switch it on and start using it, u will find things like tethering(wifi or usb both) suddenly absent, crappy camera without any focus, and the list goes on, .... and on ... still I was tolerating this phone untill I saw that this phone was unable to receive a call if a webpage was open.. (forgot to tell u camnnot even use two applications at the same time) .. so the ultimate comment about this phone from me will be "Its like a phone built by some college students as part of their final year project, not something that we want to buy as a nokia branded phone, but it looks colorful and very attractive to the eye"

  • the nokia 301 dependent to sim1 please help me? thanks

  • you get youtube after update, battery also improve

  • delete some of the old messages

  • update the phone to improve battery life, nokia corrected the battery issue on the update you will get, go to phone settings>phone>device updates>downl.phone.sw then click ok, make sure the battery is full, follow instruction, then update all built in apps individually

  • yes, you get youtube apps installed after you update the phone software to version 9.04. you also need to update all built in apps individually.

  • update the phone software, it will improve battery and you will receive youtube apps installed

  • reset the phone and update phone software

  • update your phone, go to settings>phone>device update>downl.phone.sw click ok. follow instruction, make sure the battery is full before you update and 3g switch in, after update open each apps and update all. after update you get youtube and other apps installed, battery will improve. you may encounter conflict with nokia browser, if so, uninstall whatsupp and repeat update of nokia browser

  • use only the original charger that came with the phone. using other charger models even from another nokia will cause your nokia 301 to fail, as for car charger, nokia 301 will only accept car charger from older model on nokia phones with similar usb type port. I have one in my car. as for the headset, the replacement will be from nokia N95, other than that model will not work as I've tried it already,

  • try to reset the phone to factory default, then try to recharge again, if it works, update the phone software to latest version 9.04 if you have not done yet,(you get youtube after update too) then update each apps, if you encounter conflict with update or nokia browser, uninstall whatsupp. then repeat update of all built in apps,

  • first thing you must do is update your phone to version 9.04. you will find the update from the settings menu,(update device) you also need to activate your 3g before you can update. then after updating the phone, select nokia browser, you will be met by "new version available, update now" or what ever, select yes of ok. wait for update to finish. you may encounter " nokia browser conflict" in the process, if so, you need to remove/uninstall "whatsupp". after uninstalling 'whatsupp" repeat update of nokia browser in case it failed on first attempt. after updating the nokia browser, all apps can now be updated to latest version and all will work well, including youtube. the bad news is that whatsupp may never work again to some, but if you don't need it, no need to worry as for other chat and social network installed will all work well, Whatsupp by the way is owned by apple so expect problem with nokia products.

  • Use the Bluetooth function of your nokia 301 to connect with your PC/laptop. If your laptop has a built in Bluetooth you can easily pair the two device. if your laptop do not have Bluetooth, get a Bluetooth usb which cost about 5usd. plug it to your laptop and the driver will be installed automatically once windows detect the usb/Bluetooth device. follow the instruction on pairing the two device or seek a friend help if you don't know how. To send photo from phone to laptop. turn the nokia 301 Bluetooth ON and then search and select the photo/music/or any file you want to send, then click the Bluetooth icon on your taskbar, click the receive tab on your laptop Bluetooth menu, then at the same time click send tab to send the file from your nokia. check the documents folder and there you will the file. enjoy

  • i would very much like t know how can i transfer pictures (photo's) from my phone to my lap top and pc, the quality is excellent and i am vry pleased to be able to take pictures like these but want to save them and put them on a disc evntually

  • My 301 will only charge fully and quickly when using a genuine Nokia charger, either the AC-20X mains one or the DC-20 12V one in the car. Other USB chargers either don't charge at all or only very slowly. To get even a slow charge you must use a fully connected data cable and the charger usb socket must have about 3V on the two data pins. I don't yet know what is different about Nokia chargers. You don't get the USB mode dialogue for a start. I'm measuring charger current consumption of various chargers ATM, with interesting results. The slow chargers never go above 80ma ish, but the Nokia ramps up to 200-300ma over a couple of minutes, depending on the flatness of the battery, and ramps back down again when charging nears completion. I'll cut one open when I have a spare and see what is inside. Nik

  • I have read all different things about this phone- it is normal, old timer with excellent battery - 5 days i'm using it as my second phone still is on 2nd line. When i have power on for the first time battery was on 2-nd line of 4. So probably if you speak 5-6 times in one day it will last more then 10 days.. It has not so good camera - quality 3 of 10 - the sound is nothing special same as camera - 3 of 10. If you prefer HIGH quality phone - this phone is not for YOU. This is cheap phone - for kids or for an old timer... hope this will help.

You would expect that in 21st century Nokia as a classical phone manufacturer can produce robust, reliable and fault free classical phone. No, you would be wrong. From the first day I have bought this phone, the phone shows a white screen of death time to time. From the first day of usage the phone battery life was around 3 days. After 3 months of using this phone I am down to 1 day of battery life and minimum of 12 hours charging time. Note, that I do not use internet, Bluetooth ect. Yes, of course, you may say that I have got a faulty unit...however...Nokia, classical phone, 21st century...not acceptable.

Phone turned off itself after i heard only one beep for battery low and then was completely dead . Not bad looks on this phone practical with the two sim option but so horrible battery , so stupid to have low budget phone for talk only and to be so weak on power . My old nokia phones were much better . Oh and last thing to use apps like youtube whatsapp or facebook is full crap on this device or any such device, buy iphone or ipod to enjoy apps . I hope nokia improve things for us users but for now they are disappointment.

  • You can update your phone software from settings->phone -> Software update to 9.4 you will get whats app along with it

  • Are you using dual sim model of 301?Some say whattsapp doesnt support dual sim version of 301 then how?

  • I dont think Nokia has ever been the No.1 phone maker.Many of their phones are useless as this one.This phone worth only INR 2,000/- in India.But at the current price of INR 5,500/- you will getgood smart phones which has almost everything you want. So Nokia is just the makers of average phones,not the the best maker of all.

  • Nice fone

  • I just bought my yellow unit yesterday and upon exploring it, I'm not yet in the place to contradict other negative opinions. So far, my unit is fine: it doesn't hang, there is mp3 rewind and fast forward selection, I'm amazed with it's 3.2 effective MP performance, video with running smooth 30 fps, headset works well with a very clear sound that satisfies my ears. thus I am using 2 gb sd I was once disappointed at first because sound is not clear but I should have put the jack deeper and that's it, I found its radio fine and fm recording. I don't have the regret buying this dual sim phone and I'm totally satisfied with its awesome price of Php 3,850 from our local vendor. Though its not a smartphone, but its features are sensible and enjoy holding it with its fine textured case. This unit is easy to love!

  • I tried updating my phone's software and it went off and cannot to on again any help?

  • Yes it can support may be.

  • In the specification you will find the following "WLAN No" , that means the cellphone doesn't have WiFi. GPRS is not the same with GPS, so watch out.

  • Yeah i agree there is problem in every set of nokia related to software

  • Hey guys I am going to buy Nokia 301...so please tell me does it support YouTube and live streaming in this phone??? Please please please tell me

  • its good product but i don't find wi-fi and GPS thses must be there ... nd found hang/jam problem...with all nokia cells... why?

  • Nokia 301 is NOTHING. If your demand is mostly music, please don't buy Nokia 301. Nokia 301 is just better for all basic functions. The music player is just complimentary. If anyone compare Nokia 301 with Nokia N79, for example, it's funny because Nokia N79 is superior at that time. Of course, a better phone has absolutely better hardware and software. It has cost too. Nokia 301 is just a brand-new basic phone from 2013 to the time it is stopped.

  • of course the sound of ur 301 will be better using a high-tech earphone...but comparing to my other nokia phones like n79, e6 and 6303i, their sound-quality is much more better than 301...so it it really depends on the cellphone u r using and not tyhe earphones!

  • Can this phone share its internet to other device through bluetooth? Thanks in advance.

  • can anybody tell me how to get whatsapp for 301???

  • can anybody tell how to get whatsapp on 301

  • according to your usage , the battery is good for a 3G phone and yes the phone itself can change the sound because in any device there is resistance to electricity moving inside it , and with sound this causes the noise level to increase , but some devices (actually very expensive devices) have theoretically no resistance in their audio system and so have very clean and accurate output , like the note 3 , iPhone 4 , 4s ,5 ,5s , iPod nano or touch , have you compared any of these devices to the 301 playing the same songs and noticed any difference and I am talking only about the headphones output cause I don't mind the quality of the loud speaker

  • I bought this model 4 days back and and i am very rare user of mobile and hardly used it for about 30 mints and next day I noted Dis ply problem confirmed by Nokia service engineer in new piece and I changed for the another one and that also once in a while disply screen become white all of sudden with vibration for long time .So, I am not sure, I can depend on this phone and I will see that , if the problem again start, I will take this matter to Consumer court.

  • I have tried 2 earphones, one is original Nokia earphone and another is original Sony earphone. The sound is better using Sony. The result may be different if you compare Nokia 301 and Iphone 5s, for example. I am not sure: Nokia 301 itself will change the sounds quality. The battery of Nokia 301 is so so (so good so bad). I charge it once in 3 days. I use always call and text every minutes everyday; surf the net occasionally.

  • what about the sound quality , I will be using a very high quality earphones , does the phone change the quality , I mean have you tried the same earphones for different phones and get the same result , also about battery life ( especially music playback time ) and how often do you use and charge your phone

  • I think it depends on the brand of earphone or speaker. The phone is only a player. If you use iphone 5S but you use cheap earphone, the sound won't be so good/even worse hear by your ears. Nokia 301 is only very good basic phone (if I cannot say the best). Don't expect it as smartphone, so I think it cannot read PDF. Correct me if am wrong. If you have old Nokia basic phone, I suggest not to buy this one. Buy this one, if your old phone is broken or you are bored.

  • Vey bad battery backup. just 22 hrs eenen not use.

  • not here it's not, can buy still, and ebay

  • hmm...from my opinion,it is wise to choose far more older phone ( because older phone more solid and not to forget about the battery life )how about inspect nokia 5320 or nokia 5130 xpress music hahaha. Between nokia 301 and asha 501,asha has wifi ( if you internet lover choose asha )but if u want something 'classic' choose 301..i personally pick 301 because for this past years i've used alot 'touchscreen' or 'slate' and it also brings childhood memory by using candybar :D

  • if I am to buy a phone mainly for music playback and as a secondary phone , should I buy the Nokia 301 or the Nokia Asha 501 , note that I already have an old 2010 classic phone similar to the 301 in specs but I kind of get bored from this old phone and I have an android smartphone so the Asha being a touchscreen phone is not a wow factor for me , I am only asking which is better in terms of sound quality using headphones ( iLuv headphones ) , music playback time and general experiences. I want it to stay solid and firm no matter how many times I remove the back cover and lasts for years , also want to know if the Asha 210 is better than the 301 ???

  • My nokia doesnt show any symbol when i m in roaming, is there somw setting for this or this is a prblm with this handset?

  • does it support as pdf files guys..pls help me

  • More Info: + It can be connected easily with any laptop via USB cable data. Transferring pictures/songs/data (NO need Nokia 301 driver) or using it as modem on the go (for this, you need Nokia 301 driver installed) is easier than before. + The battery is charged via USB so I can use my Blackberry one to charge Nokia 301 - I hope the both SIM cards support 3,5G :(

  • Just bought on Jan,5 2014. + Recommended for any who want just a simple TYPE phone with 3,5G (sim 1 only). I decided to have one because I feel I can phone/text/surf/even email quickly by using TYPE phone rather tahn TOUCH phone. I use it often while driving :-)) + The Design. Although it duplicates the Lumia design, it fits. Simple yet Professional. +/- The Hardware and The Software. It's similar with other basic Nokia phones. Not so much different, you can notice. It can be + or - thou. - The material of phone, plastic. I have no comment. I suggest that Nokia should use little bit high plastic quality as Nokia 301 is a bit expensive. What make me disappointed is only the plastic covering the lens. My ratting 5/10.

  • but why does my nokia 301 is doing well and how come urs have so many problems encountered?..it must have been w factory defects???

  • Can anyone tell me whether you can increase the font menu. You have to select the phone to my dad and I need something with big letters on the menu, phonebook, etc.

  • Talk and standby times are estimates only. Actual times are affected by, for example, network conditions, device settings, features being used, battery condition, and temperature.

  • I just buy @@. Don't know will have such problem or not.

  • I Purchased nokia 301 on 14/11/2013.I visited nokia care centre 8 times and submitted my phone 2 times. Blank screen(White) is a huge problem in this phone. nokia is not replacing my phone. now I think about a legal action against nokia.Nokia is now third class company in phone market.

  • TRUE

  • swapped my white nokia 301 to blackberry curve 9220...for observation!

  • c2-01 is already phased-out my friend...so u got no choice but to opt for 301, 208, 207 or 206 or the incoming 515!

  • seriously people go for C2-01 much better and can use ovi suite, give this brick a miss.

  • Probably the worst phone ive ever had ... Cannot hold a signal to save its life

  • HaaaaaaAAAaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!#$**@#.... Mine doesn't work with my PC Suit, it is even difficult to find compatible themes outside nokia stores, doesn't support WhatsApp, and has a relatively weak battery when compared with other Nokia Phones. The only positives are the 4GB External Memory and Dual Sim Capabilities.

  • Nokia 301 Im using for 01 months maximum time becomes hang, suddenly switched off. my practical experience with this mobile is really bad, Im thinking to change my mobile.

  • Bought the phone last august and battery sucks big time. It went all lights out 2nd week of december, availed for the warranty and it turned out the software was outdated, they updated to the latest version. It was my impression that battery life would improve but still nothing really changed. I'm done with the unit and sold it at 40% off from the original price.

  • I have been able to connect my Nokia 301 through PC suite via bluetooth. It works. Contacts can be copied from another nokia phone with bluetooth connection. There is an option 'copy from device' inside sync and backup heading. I've used that also.

  • i'm sorry to say that but it doesn't connect with nokia suit!!

  • I do not agree with your comments. Nokia 301 dual sim does support Nokia PC Suite and connection through USB. The phone's reception is good. As for the battery life, make sure your phone's SW is updated.

  • Thanks. I was able to connect my phone with PC suite. I want to preserve my messages. There is no option to mark multiple messages for sending to archieve. No option to create folders in archieve. And archieved messages cannot be restored to respective folders. Marking several messages only happens for deleting purpose. Is there any solution for the above issue.

  • Does this mobile supports contacts sync from gmail/google account? If yes, please tell me how..

  • text messeges depends on intertenal memory of the phone,the higher the internal memory you have,more messeges you can store in your device..

  • Does this mobile supports contacts sync from gmail/google account? If yes, please tell me how..

  • text messeges depends on intertenal memory of the phone,the higher the internal memory you have,more messeges you can store in your device..

  • actual battery talk and standby times depends on sim cards,features used,battery age and condition,temperatures and network condition...

  • it has n0 android on its app..asha 301 is series40 platform..

  • does it has android in it's aplication?

  • Does this mobile supports contacts sync from gmail/google account? If yes, please tell me how..

  • The worst Nokia has ever made. Transfer of contacts from older Nokia phone (C5) does not work. Does not connect with PC with Nokia suite. No connectivity support with USB. No cable provided either. No smart search on contact list. No whatsapp support. Very poor battery time. Poor signal reception, fails where other phones work fine. Used Nokia for very many years and took them for granted for going forward. This phone goes backwards a long way. Looks like Nokia has slipped very badly on this one. The only plus seems to be a good build and large display.

  • How many contacts can i store in here

  • is it possible to read pdf and excel files in this mobile?

  • Nokia 301 is better because of its battery life and many features which not in nokia 515 and it also cheaper than nokia 515.

  • Bettery life is 100% shit, 36 hours!!!!!! with no phone call or internet, nothing at all. In the begin it was ok and afther some time it was going down.

  • nokia dual sim best?

  • which set is best nokia 206 or nokia 301 plz tell i want to purchase any one of these

  • is ti support whatsapp and line or viber

  • is it support whatsapp and viber

  • well 301 has 3G, it's display is clearer,more internal memory, has speed and its camera is more clearer than 206...that's all and u have to add another 1k php for those said advantages...actually i swapped my 206 to 301 cuz i realized that 301 is much more better than 206. and im opting again to swap my 301 to 515 if it will be available in our place. thanx

  • (1) display is dull as compared to nokia 206 (166 pixels) (2) low vibrator and ringtone volume (3) same slow user interface as in nokia 206, time lag of 1sec to 3sec (4) 3.2 mp camera but the quality is same as 2mp (5) costly by Rs 1700/- compared to nokia 206. It's not that nokia 206 is a very good mobile, but what we get after paying extra money for nokia 301........NOTHING !!!

  • Does both card work same time? I have purchased it and while I use internet its not working with other card. It shows other no. as not available.

  • Download latest version of Nokia connectivity cable driver & PC suite.

  • Just bought one. Has good usability, i like it's flexibility.. you can pretty much change everything as you want. Only problem is, the typing is a little laggy for text messaging. The most important thing for a key button phone, is it's typing!! That's kind of the reason i bought it over a smartphone. And i have to say, it really lets it down a lot. I wouldn't recommend it for this reason alone. Texting is slow and cumbersome. Also, my phone got an ink blot screen problem within 3-4 months, and is now useless. I didn't even drop it! I like the OS, it's features, but at the end of the day... it's cheaply made, and the texting is just painful!! :(

  • Hi. I tried to access data through PC suite. I have the one which came with Nokia XpressMusic. This phone, Nokia 301 does not give an option of PC suit upon USB connection. The only options are 1.modem mode 2.sync and connect 3.memory card The PC suite window also says no phones connected. If you have done it, please tell he how. I want to export messages on my phone and create backup on my computer.

  • Does it display theme background when showing sms text like nokia 206 or white like other old models. . . . Tell me plz. . .

  • no

  • is it compactable with whatsapp?

  • welcome bro...i also bought a cyan(blue) 301 for my son its a nice color too!!!

  • thanks RNR,i am male,and i like white,and i try with this color. thanks again.

  • it's wonderful mobile phone

  • It's a solid, good, simple phone. I like it & I find it better than all other dual sim nokia phones available in market right now. Comparing with the previous phones I've had, I miss 2-3 things in it. It does not show the small missed call indication on top of the screen; the call log shows simple up,down,right-up arrows for calls instead of the blue,green,red ones like in earlier phones. And the biggest drawback is non-accesibility of phone data through pc.

  • Ror under a thousand rand lovely fone easy to use and love the fact not a virtual keyboard Great vakue for price

  • Overall its a terrible phone. Very poor battery life, 1 or 2 days only by just texting and few minutes call and its not even an android phone, no wifi either to eat up resources. Camera, keypad and music are the only exception

  • Good phone regarding-price,3g internet,voice quality.i ve been using for abt 6 months .Serving good.no problem yet.

  • magenta is a combination of pink and red...if u are a female this is quite nice for you. white is also ok as i have a nokia 301 white...its just elegant! try to use a white eraser if ur white 301 gets dirty...

  • It supports Whatsapp and Wechat you will like it

  • 3G depends on your location mines is super fast it downloads 1MB file in 3 seconds

  • I've been using the white 2 months now and it is still beautiful though i wanted red

  • whats MAGENTA color? pink or red? i interested for WHITE color,but i want to know did white sense to dust or fingertrips? please,answer me,anyone. thanks.

  • bought a second nokia 301 white. the ist one is cyan.. there is still no available black in our area so i opted for the white as the fuschia color looks feminine to me...a back to the basic alphanumeric nokia phone that is quite good on its features, design and performance!!!

  • The worst handset by nokia.. 5500 rs waste...3G is just for name.. most of the time network is nt available. User unfriendly. DNT BUY at all...

  • Bad sar value for 2013

  • whats app not saport this phone.

  • yes it is available in Sri Lanka price is 14.990

  • It is the best phone for everything, like carry camera desing etc.

  • why no wifi and GPS support and internal memory only 256 !!!! The shape for me is very nice but no wifi GPS and flash camera and no carzless lens is inside and at least 5 MP.

  • no

  • i want a youtube app for this phone any help?

  • thanks, would you know if this phone has WiFi ?

  • yes the threaded view for sms is shown in conversations, a conversation of any number shows all the in-out sms's of that number in chronological order

  • Just enter and you can download opera mini 7.1 which is fast

  • signal reception is actually exceptional. our area is basically a dead zone. no smartphone or any other phone can pick-up a signal inside our house. but this phone consistently picks-up 2 bars. I no longer have to worry about missing important calls.

  • How is the SMS, is it threaded view ?

  • can this phone get opera mini ? and if so, can I get it from ovi ?

  • Nicely built but the battery is weak apart from that a very good handset.

  • Yes, whatsapp comes pre-instaled - go to my applications in the menu. Also facebook,twitter,ebuddy,the weather channel, youtube...

  • Hi, i got it 10 days ago. I don´t know about capacity of photos , but for a better browser visit www.m.opera.com in the nokia browser, and look for version 3.1 to install -there are other newer - you can try all - but this one allows navigation quicker going up-down of the page using the left-right of the ¿pad? (i don't know the right word), good luck. -

  • I've bought this phone because I'm not so attracted by smartphones. I'm pretty confident with it, though there are some bad points... So, based on my 6 months experience with it : Good points : - can download Opera browser on the Store (ex-Ovi) - Facebook, WhatsApp, Line, Mail and Twitter apps work well. - as it uses Nokia compression system, it has reduced data use on websites and Youtube - you can switch in one click between web data/no web data use, on a button you can add on the main menu, very useful if you don't need app's notification to increase battery life. - in Youtube, there are 2 video modes, useful for very low data use or bad 3G network Bad points : - cannot read wma music - cannot read asian/arab characters on the european version -except on the Facebook app !- - battery life is barely one day, actually like what I heard from a smartphone. But if you only exchange SMS or make short calls, and activate web data use only when browsing mail, app or web a little, it can reach 3/4 days - when using Facebook app, if you want to open a link out, you are redirected to the old and basic Nokia Xpress browser with big characters and no images, not to the more recent one that is for main use on the phone. I hope this could be fixed in the next updates - You cannot access to some of Youtube official contents, the same as on some smart TV Youtube app, so this is not due to Nokia. - There is not any basic Google Maps app. Only the 'Nearby' app will show you a basic pic around your actual location - No flash support due to S40 system, so no streaming on Youtube or radio websites - Material of the screen is very fragile, so you have to protect the phone or the screen from keys, pens... in your pocket or your bag - last but not least, sounds quality during calls is low. I enjoy this phone for daily use, and its connectivity through Facebook, Twitter or Line. And also, for the extensive use of Youtube you can do as the data consumption is low. But I am disappointed for its sound quality in calls and the limitations on streaming and variety of files that it can read. It also seems Nokia chose a battery type that just fits this phone with a lifetime between charges as short as the one of smartphones. It could have been much longer, considering the phone's limitations.

  • sterday i got nokia 301, is it possible to browse internet other than using nokia xpress browser.. coz i can able to only read things not able to view/ download images/ mp3, and also only 1000 photos it is showing in gallery- how to see all? how to see the contents in memory card. as i was using nokia- E5 for the last two years, im struggling with 301. can anyone help me in this?

  • how is the battery live in nokia 301 ???? its longe or short time pls reply

  • I've had this phone for the last 20 days. It's a good simple phone. Well suited for basic use. I charge it at the most once in 2 days. But while using it ((basic use, no internet)) I found these drawbacks in it: * It does not show pics in landscape mode. * It does not show missed calls anywhere on the top of the screen. * No smart search for contacts and in music folders. * Can't access the phone data through PC Suite. *

  • If you are looking for a feature phone within a price range of 5000 INR, Nokia 301 is not a bad choice. But a 3.2 megapixel camera works better in a sony experia E (to get a good picture quality, screen resolution must be higher or more than 256 K colors). Nokia 301 can't be a substitute to a smartphone of price range of 5500-7000 INR. It will be better to keep Nokia 301 as your secondary phone for calling purpose (it has some good features such as 3G, solid/sleek design, voice clarity, dual sim feature is a bonus).

  • How do you make it work in South Korea? I've tried connecting to the SKT network here with 3G network mode but it always says "no network access". T.T

  • I had this phone for almost a week. I also have an iphone as my primary smartphone. The main reason that I got this is because it has dual sim and is a "world phone (quad band and 3G" Anyway, this phone gets the job done. You can dial phone numbers more quickly than a touchscreen phone since it has a physical keypad. The call quality and reception is excellent. The voice on the other line sounds crystal clear. Has a built-in radio and MP3 player and an ok 3.2mp camera. Build quality is good, feels solid on my palm. An overall good phone

Also facing signal problems - I am using dual sim model. Even for messages you miss forward, move or use numbers options � you feel like missing hand when you start using in few days. Take care.. Pros: dummy/fake call, 3.1MP camera, somehow internet speed in 3G, two standard/mini SIMs (SIM1 with 3G support), battery life is ok

This is better than I expected considering the heavy use of the display in the first few days. The rest of the functions work well too. Can only conclude that lots of bashing and trolling has been going on.

  • Nokia 301 Dual Sim is a very useful and reliable mobile phone. We chose them mostly because of the Dual Sim functions and its classical keyboard. Easy to work with, and easy to connect to/use with computers.

  • btter not post such as long battery life span marketing strategy stuffs it kills everyone who needs a fone thatll lst longer for their busy days... omg nokia sucks

  • Anyone tell me how to transfer the contacts from nokia lumia 720 to asha 301?

  • The information on the battery life is IMO completely misleading. I bought this phone last weekend, and the battery was full at 8AM. Four hours later, the battery is at 35%. Activities? - One short phone call - 15 min of meddling with the nokia ovi store. This is silly.

  • Battery does nt hold disappointed . It should defintely be a thing for Nokia to look at specially when there is no landline at home I would like to change my phone.

  • No whatsapp sim 2 no covrage very bad baury life

  • It is very good mobile. It's camera and internet is owesome. But thing to be noticed is WiFi

  • Yes you can,via Mobile Internet.There are 2 qualities to choose from, standard and "HD"

  • The phone is s40 series but is support 3G with high speed internet. And camera also super quality. I think its great mobile for second choice users

  • can anyone please tell me whether it is possible to watch youtube videos? please reply.. thank you..

  • best alternative is Nokia asha 208.,which has better internal memory but with 1.3Mp cam only.

  • super phone

  • Rubbish phone. I had 2. Battery life is totally useless.Did not carry a charge through 8 hour day. It is not a smart phone, so making and receiving calls, checking a few emails and making some whatsapps should not use battery life like a smart phone.

  • Batrey problem only

  • good featured phone i like this phone so... Much

  • good featured phone i like this phone so... Much

  • ya suman its nt wrk on modem mode u can download nokia cable driver from the net n istall it then it supports.

  • I used this mobile phone and it is very nice i just love that

  • What a disappointment. I waited for this phone due to the battery life specs - 2 / 3 Days. Risky to take on a long trip. Maybe I wear the charger around my neck, instead of my usual necklace. I think of replace it with the new Nokia 515, only for longer battery life, but will I experience the same disappointment? In meantime I;m back to an old 2008-Nokia, which after 5 years still has a longer battery life. Why can't you take a phone back when you are not satisfied - something like taking phones on appro.

  • I have used this phone and to be honest this phone is not worth the price 1. This phone is not supported by nokia suite, it is very hard to transfer contacts to this phone from a non nokia phone 2.earphone quality is bad. 3. Camera shots don't look like that of a 3.2mega pixel camera. I would not recommend this phone at all, specially when there are better alternatives from other companies in the same price range.

  • Got my phone yesterday, keeps on switching itself on and off, very frustrating if you are busy typing!

  • hi there, can any user tell me exactly how many contacts (with multiple nos) i can save on this mobile? well i am looking for a phone with atleast 2000 contacts(with multiple nos)

  • can any one informe me , does it support bluetooth 3.0 or not please answer me who used this phone.

  • I had this phone for about 2 weeks now. Disappointed with the battery life, I was expecting it would last 4 to 5 days but only 3 days. Less than 24 hours after full charge, the battery life indicator would decrease by a bar. And what I did? NEVER used as a modem or connect to the internet. Just a simple text and call and within that span of 3 days, what I did was just simply text and call. Sending/receiving text around 500 and call is just around an hour.

  • Set is quit nice to operate , it doesn't required switching of sims .

  • what is the internal memory of this device?can I install lot of app and game?

  • Got my 301 last week. Like it but have to charge battery every night. Do nothing but receive calls, send sms and make calls. It says a 2G talk time should be 20h, max standby on 2G 888h;

  • This mobile is allmost good but onely one thing i couln't understant that its timing never gives accurate. Every 2/3 days its giving 1minitue less thant current time.

  • You must be very lucky, because I got one a month ago and battery life is really poor, just one and half day with 3G mode nad with GSM mode three to four days.

  • 2G!

  • brother. all i can say is that this phone is a good quality set released by nokia after a long time. they gave us poor quality ones and this is a good looking phone. good display,camera and good battery back up.

  • 208 i think better.

  • As nokia doesn't fix the battery and voice quality problems of Nokia 301, I'm looking for alternatives. Recently I've found the Alcatel One Touch 2005, but Gsmarena hasn't got any info on it. Some links: Official web: A video: It looks beautiful. But I don't know anything on battery or voice quality. Will it be better or worse than nokia 301? Any suggestions? My first cell phone was an Alcatel 301 One Touch Easy (same number as the nokia 301!), and it worked very well. So perhaps I will give a try to 2005.

  • hai friend this handset not support viber .. viber apps only support ANDROID mobiles ,,,,

  • you are awesome....thank you so much.can u give the link for viber too ?pls....

  • Please tell me about the picture result of this phone.

  • does the dual sim support whatsapp or viber?

  • nokia 301 that handset i use already use some feature is missing in this phone

  • Give me ur phone i ll buy

  • can i use whatsapp on dis phone

  • You are wrong! Battery is fine! Lasts 2days for me!

  • Nokia 301 Dual SIM is a very good phone comparing to its features to the cost. I used it for 2 weeks and battery is lasting for 2 days after a full charge. All we have remember is, NOKIA 301 DUAL SIM is a low cost feature phone its NOT A SMART PHONE.

  • battery backup is fine

  • i bought this set 1 month ago i found this set the best one from nokia along time before...the best quilty voice,the prettist look and it is battery not bad

  • Hi-guys, Dont purchase Nokia 301 Dual Sim Mobile. It's battery is awfully bad - not lasting for even a single day. I had to exchange this phone with some model within few days of purchase.

  • 301 is better..and you are a bitter..

  • Software is outdated. Not user friendly at all, esp., to create and add Playlists and to add files to Playlists.

  • too much cost rs 920 in pakistan...and in this price it has no wifi.....what is this????lol nokia

  • pls advoice What about 301 good or bad

  • this phone have a large and soft keypad ..i buy this phone for sms and i fully Satisfied

  • how is the KEYPAD? Is it good for sending SMS messages? OR it's FIRM?

  • Thanks for letting me know. If you do hit a limit, can you let me know how many messages were stored?

  • Do you have single sime or dual sim?

  • So, true...

  • 301 is far beter

  • Don't comment only on features and expect a faster Internet on smaller mobiles, Only thing to know is should get clear audio quality for users like a low hearing problem. battery backup for receving and longer talks. Sim stablility for both networks etc.,

  • What is the Music Playback time in n301

  • I bought this phone a month ago and I am very pleased actually. No problems what so ever. Battery holds up nicely (not for 32 days as they promise but still better than any smartphone), it looks beautiful and is overall a great phone tio have if you don't need a fancy touchscreen or any other bells and whistles such as gps... I am very pleased with this device.

  • of course 301 much better than 208

  • I saw a guy using 301 to tether 3g internet to nexus over bluetooth. Someone did like this please tell me the battery and connection speed, thanks!

  • What is the better phone between Nokia 301 & Nokia 208???

  • guys even after the new update there is battery problem???? strange.

  • if their wasn't for this f++++++ battery problem i would trade my lumia 620 for this but..

  • it is not 'asha' series phone!

  • yes it can but 3g is only capable for in sim1.sim2 is a 2g network.

  • nokia 301 has faster internet as i an using it

  • Sir i want 2 purchase nokia asha 301. Can u tell me wt's the disadvantage in ths device. Pls reply within 2 hr

  • I am going to buy Nokia 301 is this one is a great choise? Help me guyzzzz....

  • battery is very poor.internal memory good.iwanted singlesim

  • bad signal reception for 3G bands. not happy with this product

  • i bought it a week ago....it has a poor battery ..backup.em disappoint wth ths product of nokia..

  • Correction to my last post: ... But I'm NOT sure whether it will slow down as the number of messages are increasing....

  • To ObserverPh: A message does not exactly open in a snap, but it's not laggy either. With dozens of messages in my inbox, the speed of opening each message is acceptable to me. But I'm sure whether it will slow down as the number of messages are increasing. You'd better consult other friends here, because you know people have different criteria on the speed of a phone. What is acceptable to me is not necessarily acceptable to others. As to the music player, I can't find any equalizer in my 301.

  • How 'bout opening msgs? Only the dual-sim version is available here in the philippines. Does it open it in a snap? And how about the music player, does it have the equalizer. I want to upgrade my old N2690 for this. .

  • To ObserverPh, I can't compare 301 with 210, 'cause I don't own any 210. As to the battery backup, many single-SIM version users here report a devastatingly short battery life (about only 2 to 3 days on normal use). So I wouldn't recommend the single-SIM 301. My 301 is a dual-SIM version, and my battery lasts about six days on dual-SIM standby and twelve days with only one SIM inserted. I'm satisfied with this battery performance. But there are also other friends here with a dual-SIM version who complain about short battery life. So you'd better look around and consult more information before you make your decision.

  • try to call

  • To itislogical: Oh, now I see your point. I'm not sure if the inbox in 301 has a limitation of a certain number of messages. For now I have only dozens of messages in my inbox and I don't know how to multiply my messages to test how many messages can be stored there. However, there is an option for me to check the memory status of my phone, and it tells me my messaging takes up 353kb. Based on this, my guess is that the number of messages that can be stored in the inbox is determined by the memory of your phone, but not limited to a specific number.

  • Thanks Ivan Chen for your response.

  • Thanks for your confirmation.

  • oye that is predictive text input and not the actual dictionary. Got it?

  • Bro Ivan, just want to ask about tha battery backup? Is 301 better that 210, coz' i read on the 210 thread that it opens msgs. slowly. Does the music player has equalizer? I don't mind if it don't have wifi. I just need a solid call&text + music phone on-the-go. . I hope you can suggest if i should get this one. :)

  • My current Huawei dumbphone tells me to delete messages from my inbox because "it is full" and there are usually around 300 messages stored in my inbox when the message appears. When the inbox is full and people text me, I cannot receive those new texts until I delete current messages in the inbox. I assume this happens because there is very little storage on my Huawei. Does this Nokia also exhibit this behavior, where the inbox is "full" around 300 messages stored in the inbox?

  • My 206 and 301 both have an in-built dictionary, under "Apps" in the "Menu."

  • I'm not sure I understand your question, but I do notice that the characters that can be displayed in a text file are limited to about 300. If a text contains more than 300 characters, those above 300 will be automatically cut out when the text is displayed. I don't know if an SMS has the same limit, because my SMS are all very short.

  • my 301 does not have Dictionary preinstalled while nokia's website specification list mentions it has a dictionary. what about your phone?

  • yes of course. I connect my 301 to PC suit for net, message, and mass storage etc. both via BT and cable

  • No WLAN, no GPS, no OS, what will we do of it?

  • To pks, Not that I know of. My communications with the computer are done through bluetooth.

  • Okay thank you Ivan.ü thanks a lot for your help ü

  • Can you connect 301 to PC using Nokia Suite for backup / net connection / software upgrade? Please confirm.

  • Is there a low inbox limit for texts, like old feature phones that usually cannot store more than ~300 texts?

  • For your kind information I bought this set and battery hardly last for two days and same problem was faced my two friends but some 301 handsets are better battery time when average talking and use.

  • Whether this phone can be connected to PC via Nokia Suite for use as modem/ backup etc?

  • great phone! Love u Nokia 301!

  • Again, I also use 301 for calls and messages only, so I am unable to give you any feedback on its internet performance. Maybe you can go back over the thread. I remember quite a lot of friends here have had reviews on its internet connection, both before and after the update. As a reminder, if you opt for 301, the dual-SIM version seems to have fewer problems (fewer complaints) than the single-SIM version.

  • I see. How about nokia 301s internet? Because im planning to drop my xperia and shift to nokia bar phone with physical keys + an ipod touch for entertainment. Hehe.ü so i think ill be needing internet connection whenever wifi isnt available. :)

  • To Kim 01, Please don't hurry to buy 206 simply on my reviews. I need to clarify one thing: that I use the phone only for calls and messages and I don't use any internet services, so I can't promise how well this phone will perform when connected to the internet.

  • Thank you so much. As of now i think ill be going for n206. The reason why id be going back to nokia is because my xperia neo v takes too much time to open my messages and call log as well as other apps. Thanks a lot! :)

  • If you have no need for 3g services, then 206 is your best choice.

  • Both 206 and 301 have good connections, whether you use 2g or 3g. So far as I know, it's not possible to share my 301 internet signals with other devices. After all, 301 is just a feature phone. You can't expect it to perform some functions of smart phones.

  • Any one please tell me in nokia 301 internet connection by sim 2 (swapable sim) eitier 2G or 3G or no internet connection is possible. If not possible so single sim verson is better. Please please tell me because i want to buy for internet connection in sim2 only because it is better to use sim2 in PC. Because taken out sim without swiching off the mobile.

  • does it have msg. templates?

  • Hi! This phone is not too bas i would have liked more battery life for the hours they are quoting. But i have used about 2 hours of calls internet for one hour and about three hours of music and its got two bars left after two days. If it keeps up for four days with the same usage again then thats not too bad. I agree Nokia should not be quoting 888 hours. More like 400 hours standby and 10 hours talk time as a maximum. If people are surfing the net all day then you will only get one day the same on all smart phones! Mine came with the new 2.51 software already installed dunno if this makes any difference to the battery. Just wish they had more colours than just the black one in england. Wanted cyan. When gsm do a proper review? Regards

  • so, you mean it's better to buy NOKIA 206 instead of 301?!

  • So kind of you Ivan Chen. Thanks. Lastly, how about the connection? N206 is 2g while N301 is 3g. Is the difference by par? Or not really? And have you already found the way to share your internet in 3g with your other device? Thanks a lot! :))

  • Internet for SIM 1 only

  • Fantastic. Love you Nokia 301.

  • nokia 301 vs nokia 206. which is the best buy?

  • How is the HD voice clarity!?is it truly clear!?..I just want to buy this phone for calls & text only...please kindly let me how good it is..cheers

  • I have both 301 and 206. In terms of general performance, 206 is a lot better than 301. Although the 301 screen has better specs, the 206 screen does not look any inferior. An even stranger thing is that 301 has 3.2 MP camera, but the images it produces are not as clear as those produced by 206, whose camera has only 1.3 million pixels. I've tested the two cameras several times under the same condition: same object, same distance, same light, same angle. The result has always been this way. So far, there are only two advantages of 301 over 206: that 301 has more internal memory, and that 301 can play some video files that 206 cannot. Apart from the two advantages, 301 can never beat 206 in overall performance.

  • Please tell me, this phone supports to open PDF files or not ?

  • nokia 301 users please tell in detail about the battery life,sound quality and perfomance.is it similar to n206 in sound? nokia 206 sound is not much audible besides battery performance is not up to the mark.please help me to choose better one.

  • Thanks. But i also saw your post in nokia 206. You have both phones? Which is better in overall performance? And how about the colors in screen? Because n206 has only 65k colors and n301 has 256k colors, do they differ much?

  • Thanks. But i also saw your post in nokia 206. You have both phones? Which is better?

  • Please tell me in dual sim nokia 301. The internet connection is possible in 2nd sim (swapable sim) ?

  • Does anyone know how to share my 301's internet connection with my tablet PC? My tablet PC has WIFI, and I want to connect it to the internet using 301's internet connections. Can this be done? How do I set this up in 301?

  • Its again the brand nokia. Nice,stylish, easy features. If you are thinking of a good & simple phone this is the one. Fantastic battery support.

  • Its a brilliant device to have & cost effective..

  • First thing, I certainly wish if GSM arena could include "Whatsapp" in specification. Every now and then someone has this question. Worst is, few not even try to go through the comments to clarify there issues. Second, when raising a question, please provide atleast the software version. Like, for example the Battery life issue. Nokia, released a software update recently, so now the question is if still any issue in phone w.r.t update. It's sounds more logical than asking or saying "my phone has battery problem, someone help". Please add your software version at-least and raise bug with Nokia on Nokia developer page if possible.

  • frnd nokia 301 is support for mp4 videos.?

  • Download Whatsapp Installer from & unzip the file. Copy the .jad file & other folder (unzip it too) to ur memory card. Now on ur phone go to the folder where u had saved & just select the Whatsapp icon. Then click on Options Menu of your phone. U will find update version. Update ur Whatsapp & here u go. Register urself & start using Whatsapp on ur Nokia 301 Dual Sim Phone.

  • Don't just spread rumors... I have it and believe me there are no battery related issues (may be because my mobile is made up in India)...

  • If we disconnect 3g connection in n301 how many days it stands(per day 2hours of talking, 2hours of net browsing/downloading and 3hours music/videos playing) And how is the video playback in this handset.? I want to know all these information from the users of Nokia 301 dual sum. Please reply me... Nani, India.

  • My 301 lasts 6 days on dual-SIM standby and 12 days on single-SIM standby. I'm satisfied with the battery performance.

  • Nokia 301 very good phone, battery last for 4 days , I usually de activated 3g when finish with internet, my friend internet browsing eat lot of your battery, so I suggest use gsm or 2g while waiting for some msg.

  • it is great to have this phone at this price range. I do not believe in long calls but even after surfing continuously for whole day, the battery won't disappoint. You can rely on battery (for it can go for 2days in a single charge.). The only thing to miss are music keys and headphone free radio (and not the equiliser as the sound quality is wonderful)

  • Stand-by Up to 888 h (2G) / Up to 936 h (3G) ??? Is inverted??

  • plz tell how is its video cemra result on pc?

My only prob with 206 is that complaints are on phone memory storage. While 301 are on batteries. Which is better? I hope a local could help me. Because issues came from single sim variants abroad. Thanks!

  • Hi. Anyone bought this who's from the Philippines? Please give me a feedback about its battery with regular use of sms daily? Cause everybody seemed to complain about that issue. Im having a difficulty deciding which to get between Nokia 206 and this Nokia 301. Please. Thank you!

  • Phonebook is limited to 1000 items. So much memory, so limited phonebook... This people at Nokia must be realy stupid, they deserve their faith.

  • Please, ¿anyone can tell me if Whatsapp works fine on the Nokia 301 single sim?. And another thing, removing the battery problem, what usually goes well the Nokia 301?. I ask because I need a wide keyboard phone with Whatsapp. And the Nokia 301 looks good

  • hello sir, i want to purchase nokia asha 301 phone. please tell me what's the disadvantage or problems with this phone.

  • Is your phone single sim or dual sim. I need to understand whether all battery complaints posted are on dual sim phones.

  • ¿Whatsapp work good in nokia 301 single sim?

  • Yesterday I bought this mobile phone in Portugal, and the first thing I did was the update available. Then i charged mobile phone at 22:00 and this time already spent 12 hours, and made calls, facebook, two e-mail accounts and the battery remains in maximum.

  • Here are your answers i) Speaker clarity Godd clarity and quite loud ii) Ringing volume Good volume iii) vibration alert incredibly weak and pointless iv) camera image quality very good and some cool features v) video recording quality reasonable for 320*240 vi) music player, equalizer. there is no equaliser (sorry) vii) support to .AVI video files hit and miss, may work or may not viii) support to .MP4 video files it works as far as i am concerned ix) Battery backup one of the worst battery life I have seen in a phone (24-30 hours)

  • Plz do tell me when u get d ans. I m also facin d same problem. Couldn't get connected to internet on pc

  • I thought I would give this one a try and what a mistake I have made what a heap of junk, battery is awful despite quoted times by Nokia don't know what planet they are on but talk about false advertising. Also have a problem now with camera it freezes every time I click to take a picture I have tried pulling battery out and hard reset etc it does work again but fails 5 times out of 10 and resets itself. Nokia are aware of the problem with battery and released an update now because this phone does not support PC Suite at all the phone has to be updated OTA (Over the air) so I think great I am on my 10th time trying to update it and never get past 45% with message coming up such as update cancelled or server cancelled update etc etc. Very mad Nokia don't seem to care they do not answer any problems on there support forums and there customer service dept is a joke. Always supported Nokia but since I bought a 206 and that was full of bugs I thought I would give them another go with 301 wish I didn't disappointed in Nokia.

  • which 1 s best nokia 301 r nokia c2-01 ? which 1 fastest downloaded? which support u tube vide ? fastest internet?

  • I am unable to load any dialler software in Nokia 301. Any one can help???

  • Just bought this phone 5 days ago.. The reason because of the HSPA 3.5G phone.. But internet connection is very bad even in 3G cverage area..i feel cheated by Nokia..whatsapp, email, nokia nearby, exchange dosnt work at all. I think they just focus on lumia and asha model only..

  • I would not suggest anyone to buy this phone. The only good thing about this phone is its camera and voice clarity. I am having a lot of problems with this phone. Opera mini web browser doesn't work perfectly on this phone. It stops displaying web pages after 25-30 minutes of browsing and dosen't open the new ones. Then you have to close it by holding the call drop key (red one) for a few seconds then start it once again and then repeat the same process after 25-30 minutes. It is even worse for uc browser v9.1 it stops working and shows application error just after browsing 10-11 web pages. It isn't compatitable with whatsapp. The phone also has some colour issues. The colours seem to wash away after using the phone continuosly for 30-35 minutes, especially the dark ones. At this price tag you have a lot of options and you can choose some other phones instead of buying this crap phone.

  • plz tell hw to use whatsapp in nokia asha 301

  • After being refunded for my 301, I have eventually switched to a budget LG Jelly Bean smartphone. The battery life and the audio voice quality are better than the 301 (!) I am too glad with all the Android features but I'll miss the good old Nokia keyboard. By the way, I'd never have thought that Nokia would show me the way to Android ;-).
