The Nokia 2730 classic would have been cutting edge just a few years ago, but this new 3G handset from Nokia is the cheapest 3G phone around and destined for emerging markets.
The Nokia 2730 is aimed at emerging markets that aren’t quite ‘ready’ for the company’s higher-end phones. Unlike the plastic lumps that normally get thrown at emerging sectors, the 2730 is actually quite a decent little phone.
Encased in a sleek candybar form factor, the Nokia 2730 looks like the kind of phone people were trying to wheedle out of their operator’s miserly upgrade policies just a few years ago. 3G connectivity is backed up by a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and Stereo FM radio.
The 2-inch QVGA screen seems a bit titchy, but this is a device intnded for talking into, not web browsing. 3.3 Hours of talktime (or about 17 days of standby) to any of the 1000 contacts the expanded phonebook an hold. Ovi Mail comes as standard too, as does Nokia’s Life Tools.
