Nokia 225 Dual SIM Review..

I was in search of a phone for my mother. After a diligent search I narrowed down to 5 models and Nokia 225 was one of them. When I visited the showroom, 225 impressed both of us. It has a large screen and well spaced keypad and the form factor was easy to handle. The build quality is also good and the phone is sturdy. The 2 MP camera performed above expectations and the memory card slot was an added bonus. Photos are a delight to watch on its big screen. The torch light is very handy. The device is rightly priced at 3500 INR but 3000 INR would make it a sweet package. I got a transparent 'inbase' case which provided a better grip with its dotted sides.

I was slightly disappointed with the S30 operating system. S40 would have been great. S30 lacks many customization options - unable to re-assign shortcut keys, change date format etc.. The music player interface is primitive but the sound quality is very good. The call buttons should have been color coded - green and red for better user experience.  I recommend this phone if you are on the lookout for a quality feature phone for elderly or anyone who prefers a non-touch, non-smart phone. Internal memory is very limited. Get a memory card as soon as possible.

The phone is Dual SIM but the second SIM slot is empty as of now. The phone comes with a couple of good games. Assasins Creed was a trial game for 90 seconds, but you could download the full game from the store for 50 INR. The cost is added to your phone bill.
