Nokia 515 year of release. The SIM card is used in mobile devices to save data certifying the authenticity of mobile service subscribers.

Those times when the reviews of top push-button phones could be written long and interesting, almost erased in memory. Yes, and says Nokia 515 editors gG. There was a lot of: the extensive news in which Technoslav Bergamot told about the device itself, and about its place in the market, and the impressions of "with their own eyes" from the presentation of the phone. A literally couple of moments remained behind the sneress - the camera, the practicality of the case, the equipment and some other personal impressions for a snack.

Specifications

In his premium dialer, Nokia uses old and well-known users (including former) phones of this manufacturer S40. In fact, we have the same Nokia Asha 206 in the metal case, with an improved camera (5 MP and video recording in QVGA) and best screen. Under the "Better" I mean more of the displayed colors and the protective coating of Gorilla 2. From the less obvious to the user of improvements, it is worth noting Bluetooth 3.0 (in ASHA 206 the version of the "blue tooth" - 2.1) and plus 100 ma-h to battery capacity (total 1200 Ma-h). As a result, it all gives an increase to the price of two and a half times, but exactly to the level that may seem like a decent solvent audience that does not want to join the world of smart pods. Moreover, it is the immodest price in many respects defines the prestige of the model. Well, it is no one for a man in a decent suit, with a good car and excellent manners to walk with a 500-hrying "call" on meetings. What about the status? Therefore, competently seasoned habits (which is not said, but it is the Nokia brand that Nokia is associated with a good key telephone) Nokia 515 turns from the usual, daring road "dialer" in the model well-sold and appreciated by its target audience.

In work

I will not stop on the features of the corps, it has already been well done with Masha chip on the presentation. Who missed - read. Or watch photos below.

The phone is convenient, with the right weight. Ergonomics of the hull did not fail. Fingers remember Nokia navigation and move intuitively on the menu. For a week, wearing the bag did not scratch the screen, did not get damaged the case or buttons. The back side is also resistant to scratches.

At first I frankly did not like the fact that the buttons were covered with glass (purely visually, I wanted a metal). But they touch them more pleasant than to the metal, so on the external component I just stopped paying attention literally during the first minutes of work. The stroke of the tuggy buttons, but this is felt in it. Use the digital block is convenient. Another thing is the navigation block. His edges a little sharper than I would like. Therefore, with the active use of this block, the pillow of a thumb starts to experience discomfort. But something tells me that the potential audience will mostly not be abused.

Only the Nokia 515 version with the support of two SIM cards will be supplied to Ukraine. To switch the priority, a specially trained button is provided - prolonged pressing on "*". Switching the priority of the SIM card using the button is good, I love it.

The main lack of a keyboard from the point of view of aesthetics is a passion for the fingerprint collection. It's easier with the screen - he is not a touch, no one will not pour into it once again.

Technology display Nokia. It does not voiced, but on the eye is the usual TN-matrix. The viewing angles are small vertical and horizontal, the colors do not differ in depth. Although the contrast is not bad for an inexpensive screen. I believe that at the level of "middle a hospital" in the segment cheap Android-Smartphones, that is, not many more than 500: 1. Appearance Menu, as well as what the phone is hardly wanting to use to view photos and video (screen sizes are not those, and the files will have to be transmitted on the cable or download via mobile Internet), do not give out the fact that the color coverage is smaller here than the ordinary smartphone (256 thousand colors). But here it is still quite decent. Budget fellows Nokia 515 screens look unhappy.

The manufacturer promises about the month autonomous work In standby mode and 10 hours in conversation mode. I knew the phone in the box, waiting for my turn on the review, about a week in the ones, but without a SIM card. Then I installed the card, there were two stripes on the charge indicator. For several hours, only one remained. And with her the phone stretched about 12 hours. During this time, I talked a total of the order of half an hour, sent with a dozen messages, but I didn't listen to pictures, I did not listen to music and did not go to the Internet. After an incomplete charge (up to half the battery capacity, judging by the indicator) and with one SIM card he stretched a couple of days. During this time I called in my habitual mode (that is, several short conversations a day), sent several messages, listened to music for a couple of hours and made a camera about three tens of pictures. In total, the user can count on 3-4 days of autonomous work, as is usually with Nokia phones. For large quantities Calls, listening to music and using the camera battery life can be reduced to a day and a half.

Those who are not familiar with the telephone interface on the S40 platform can consider the pictures below. He is friendly, pretty and comfortable for the most part, although there are nuances. In the appearance of S40 a lot in common with Nokia smartphones on the S60. There is even your application store and a number of pre-installed social services: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Mail. In the absence of Wi-Fi and a large convenient screen, they will hardly be actively used by the owner of the phone. But even in this form, their presence is much better than lacking or necessary to climb into the store and download something else.

From the pleasant features of the interface, I will note the ability to change the font size for the main menu, contacts and messages. The largest of them to "Babushkofones" is far away, but it is a larger telephone standard. With considering target audience Models, which should consist of adult wealthy people, is a reasonable and necessary option.

Settings of the standby mode are still pleased with the diversity of the capabilities by phone challenges. You can endure all the frequently used applications here, only to move between them accounted for by the navigation block. The keys under the screen are also customizable. It is worth adding to this that three bottom keys during long-term pressing also perform their functions (browser call, changing the priority of the SIM card and switch to a silent mode), and quick access to the contacts can traditionally be assigned to the digital buttons. And it turns out a dialer, which can be personalized not worse than a smartphone.

Radio I. music player There is a phone. The sound in the player is loud and more decent than in budget Android smartphones. Compared to the same happy owners of "Hearts" MediaTek, it is clean and even with a hint of bulk sound. In my opinion, a person who does not buy for listening to music separately high-quality player, It will be completely satisfied with the quality of the sound in Nokia 515. But the complete headset strolled - she did not even fit in my ears. In the cheap phone, it was possible to put "plugs" more than one. It remained in the phone and the old familiar disease - when the headphones extravery, the music continues to play, and not put on a pause. Setting, which could correct the situation, I did not find.

I have not used the usual "calls" for a long time. And I was puzzled by the fact that the Nokia 515 contact menu is not so easy to find as they can be edited. There is no such option in the list of contact list, and it appears only when you enter the contact itself, and even then to add new information You need to go through two more circles. Mobile operating systems (in particular, Android and iOS) so turned the idea of \u200b\u200bhow convenient there can be a mobile device interface, which to understand this is so going to the old platform (or remember how it was done before) becomes difficult. Or, here, for example, I put me in a dead end that when there are no messages quick access To switch to enter only numbers. How quickly you get used to the beautiful!

Camera

The phone is equipped with a five-megapixel camera with an outbreak. Creates panoramas and self-portraits, as well as serial pictures (from three to five pieces). Panorama consist of four pictures, but intelligently glued. It always turns out the first time. Self-portraries are made by the main chamber (there is no front here), while the phone itself says how to turn to get into the frame. Speaks in Russian and without an accent. But Ukrainian-speaking users will have to listen to instructions in English in a slightly hysterious tone. Serial shooting here is purely nominal, because the speed with which photos are made does not withstand critics and competition with any "smart" devices. Still, the phone resources are not calculated. Examples of photos can be seen below or in a separate gallery at the torch. It's amazing that the photos of the night city turned out even better than indoors in artificial light or in daylight.

Competitors and neighbors on the line

If everything is clear with neighbors according to the Nokia 515 line, these are budget models in color cases calculated on the youth audience (ASHA 206 for economical, ASHA 205 for those who need a QWERTY keyboard and ASHA 210 - if you need more Wi-Fi), That I did not suspect the existence of competitors until I did not take on writing this section. But this year the editor gG. I visited several philips phones. The Philips Xenium X623 model (and here is its review) the metal case, twice the capacity of the battery and the same characteristics (platform, of course, its own). Customers for social networks He is also pre-installed, so it will not feel like a single phone user. If autonomy is critical, I recommend looking towards Philips. If the sentimental attachment to the brand and habits rearrange, then you can safely choose Nokia. Because something, and premiums in the 515th more by as much as 500 UAH. Kidding. Appearance and brand power nokia phone also cooler. Also in the covers of domestic stores, you can still find the old Nokia 6700 Classic. Of course, the "classic", and the "gray" will cost more. And she has no support for two sim cards. But the same classic, with GPS, Nokia Maps and all such a metal. In general, there is a question of taste.

In the dry residue

If among the readers of this review, those who do not fail to throw a stone in Nokia for the release of a "premium" phone with an indecent price and modest characteristics, then, the right, do not, cool. In what, and in the "calls" the company knows a lot about. And also in what they should be able to and how much cost. The ability of the device and its price fully comply with the needs of the target audience (except Wi-Fi could make it even more interesting), which Nokia caught very well. I doubt that among our readers there are many potential customers of the model. But if you have older relatives, desperately needing the status "call", do not pass by. This is an excellent chance to change the "classic" (Nokia 6700 Classic) on something fresh and relevant this season.

"Finnish classic" with two SIM cards and 3G

For six years have passed since Apple iPhone opened a new era in the development of mobile communication devices. According to modern standards of technology progress, the term, of course, is large, but in the projection on human life it is, in fact, only a vaguely recalled segment between the birth and school. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that many no longer young people can not mascel the touch interface of modern smartphones.

Unfortunately, the search for an attractive "keypad", for them, as a rule, doomed to failure. The range of well-known manufacturers is replenished very rarely and usually contain "dialer" with cheap appearance, which clearly will not add to its owner of solidity (of course, if not to take luxury vertu type devices). The last button tested on our website was BlackBerry Q5, but it is still a product of a completely different class: the display has a touch, and the keyboard is not digital, but QWERTY.

The problem of the problem presented at the end of August Nokia. The Nokia 515 model boasts a solid and stringent design - a metal unibody-housing, a shockproof display with the Gorilla Glass 2 coating, as well as a weathered color palette in white or black versions. And at the same time, the SERIES 40 software platform, with a high probability of a well-known intended target audience.

Equipment

Nokia 515 comes in a blue box, like more expensive smartphones of the company. But, unlike them, images of the phone on the package are not represented.

Near the phone there was a place for battery, instructions, warranty brochure, as well as a network USB adapter, tool for removing the back cover and wired headset. From the standard, in general, configuration, only a clip is knocked out, the utility of which we will talk separately.

Design

Nokia 515 is the heir to a popular one-step business series both internally (the same S40 platform) and externally (strict business style and here is the main designation of designers).

Nokia 515 comes out in two color solutions - in addition to the standard black, there is also a white version with a silver lid.

When viewed at right angle, the manufacturer's logo is practically not visible. The reason for this is the technology of manufacturing the housing: the Nokia logo is flashed during sand processing so that it saves the color of polished aluminum.

The Nokia 515 keyboard takes a smaller part of the front panel, but due to the fact that the buttons are placed close to each other, they have a very large size. The keys are made of a transparent plastic polymer, the designations are applied directly under it, which eliminates the risk of erasing. For convenience of blind printing, the "5" button has a tubercle on both sides.

The brightness of the white backlight keyboard is at a high level. It is distributed evenly practically throughout the area; Only the angles remain slightly darkened.

The back cover and the side surface of Nokia 515 are made of one aluminum sheet. The camera lens leveled in the center, a flash is inserted slightly above it. In the lower part, surrounded by metal, there is a plastic insert required for normal antenna operation. NOKIA designers are among themselves such a pocket solution ("Pocket"). Watching "pockets" is organically and practically invisible. Being embedded in the monolithic panel, they do not form extra gaps, which looks at the same time attractive and reliable. Over the plastic insert there are holes of the rear speaker.

Another "pocket" is embedded in the upper face of the phone. The Micro-USB connector and 3.5 mm socket for the headset are placed here.

At the bottom face of the phone there is a slot for a clip. When removing the back cover, it should be very careful with it: one incorrect movement - and the body will remain a brilliant scratch (which will be very noticeable on the black model).

At the top of the right side of the phone there is a sound adjustment rocker. It has a short clear move and responds to a quiet click on each press.

Run the back cover. The first and main micro-SIM connector on the left regular access seems to be provided. It is blocked by the battery, and when removing the SIM card, it is necessary to spend some time to pick it up. The second connector, located perpendicular to the first, already allows you to make a quick replacement of the card. In addition, he is spring, which makes all the manipulations even easier. Please note that to work the card in the second connector, the installation of the first SIM card is mandatory.

Under the connector for the second SIM card is a microSD slot. It is not equipped with a spring, but such small memory cards usually have threshings for which they can be easily embedded.

From below, we see the rear speaker and, apparently, an antenna module.

The removable Battery Nokia 515, BL-4U, has a capacity of 1200 mAh.

We have two copies of Nokia 515, white and black on testing. The latter showed two big problems at once. First, he did not work vibration. Secondly, he had a loosely installed battery, as a result of which the phone rattled during Shake. If you do not count the last problem, then the quality of the assembly of both "tubes" can be called excellent: buttons are pressed the same, no backlash, gaps and violin when trying to bend off.

Screen

The phone screen is covered with a glass plate with a mirror-smooth and slightly convex surface, and, judging by the reflection of objects in it, the screen has good anti-glare properties.. The reflection in the screen is tried, which involves the presence of an air layer between the surface of the matrix and the outer glass.

The maximum brightness value is 300 cd / m²minimal - 94 cd / m². The maximum brightness is not very high, but the anti-glare and transreflective properties of the screen and the matrices, which, due to the lack of solar weather, are still affected by the brightness of bright external lighting, which is not possible. But most likely, judging by the behavior of the screen under a bright lamp, readability and the sun should remain good. The minimum brightness is generally vicious, but for a phone in which the brightness setting is hidden far from the menu, some excess to be admissible, since such a minimum brightness with a margin will use the phone in a wide range of external illumination. On the reduced brightness, the backlight modulation is actually absent, so there is no screen flicker.

This phone is installed tN type matrix. The screen has conditionally good viewing angles in the vertical direction, but at the slightest deviation, dark shades are inverted to the left, when the rejection is right - light. With perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is good, but even with a slight deviation, the black field is very high. Contrast is not the lowest - about 860: 1.

Color coverage less SRGB:

Apparently, the matrix light filters mix the components to each other, and the spectra confirm this. This technique allows you to increase the brightness of the screen at the same energy costs to the backlight, but the colors are losing in saturation.

The balance of shades on the gray scale is disgusting, as the white color temperature is even equal to 7000 K, but when it moves to shades of gray, it increases greatly.

The advantages of the screen are durable external glass, good anti-glare properties And, apparently, Good readability in bright environment. Also in the pros can be attributed lack of flickering on reduced brightnessthat in this class it is rarely found. To disadvantages (however, fortunate in this case) small viewing angles and no Color Balance.

Operating system

Nokia 515 is based on the SERIES 40 6th Edition Feature Pack 1 platform, working steadily and fast. Compared to the fifth version, which we considered in the Nokia 6500 review and other phones, a number of changes were made to it. Among them is the built-in flash player Flash Lite 3, as well as a browser based on WebKit (with support for HTML 4.01, CSS2, JavaScript 1.5 and AJAX). However, more noticeable for the user in Nokia 515 will certainly be the ability to update the firmware "by air".

Thanks to the Active Standby function, the user can fully score the desktop with all sorts of widgets. Their number includes notifications that lack in Nokia 6500. Navigation for desktop items is carried out using the "Up" and Down buttons. The remaining "Left" and "Right" buttons serve for quickly launch (by default "new message" and "calendar").

The Nokia 515 main menu reflects the standard functionality for phones of this class:

The only notable fact is that there are several online service applications at once - Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. The address book is expanded accordingly, where you can add not only numbers and electroets, but also contact profiles in social networks.

Menu items can be rearranged in a convenient order, but it is impossible to delete. Purpose of the function keys remains classic for Nokia: Central - selection / main menu, left - context menu, right - back. In general, we can safely argue that people who are accustomed to the interface of the old models of the Finnish manufacturer will be able to master the Nokia 515 without any problems.

But with synchronization with PC, the problem is still available. Nokia 515 officially does not officially support Nokia PC Suite, although some users can connect in modem mode. We could not do it. As an external drive, the phone is connected to the PC immediately.

Connection quality

Both Nokia 515 speakers have a large volume of volume. During the conversation, the voice of the interlocutor is passed clean and stable. The simultaneous operation of two SIM cards is possible only in standby mode.

Camera

Nokia 515 is equipped with a rear camera with a resolution of 5 MPs with EDOF technology (Extended Depth Of Field - Extended depth of field). Due to the lack of delays associated with focusing, the speed of operation of such chambers is much larger. The Nokia 515 cameras commented on Anton Solovyov.

	At first glance, the snapshot worked well, but at closer examination, all the "charms" of harsh software processing are searched: Sharping, noise suppression, interpolation.
		With street lighting at night, the camera is capable of issuing some result.
	The outbreak is very weak and, rather, impairs the situation.
	With night shooting, the camera issues not the worst result.
	With the shooting of the text at the camera, the problem is due to a fairly large minimum focus distance.
	From here the bad results for macro photography, which worsens the noise and interpolation.

It seems that the camera sensor does not match the optics that could give better detail. Ruffle in detail on distant plans suggests the interpolation. Considerable contribution to it and strong noises that are not very neatly hidden by the noise. In the amount of all these moments, throw off the camera far back, at the level of not the best budget smartphones. However, it is worth noting that the front plans manage the camera is not bad, and if the sensor really had good permission, Optics could work out and medium plans.

Perhaps it is impossible to call the camera good and even the average. It is only suitable for the easiest tasks when shooting general plans.

The phone is also able to shoot video (320 × 240, 1024 kbps, 26,916 FPS, MPEG-4 Visual ( [Email Protected]) (BVOP)), but in a very low resolution suitable except for MMS.

Autonomous work

We disconnected Nokia 515 from the outlet on Wednesday morning. Over the next days, approximately six hours, the phone was used in voice recorder mode. Another four was spent on games and applications. There was a dozen-other short calls. In such a rather rich mode of use, the phone worked for four days, turning off only on Saturday night. Against the backdrop of modern smartphones, this is an outstanding result, and among ideologically related models from the past 515th model does not look like a gappish duckling.

Charging the phone from the "native" network adapter takes about 3 hours. Charging from the USB port of the computer is also possible.

conclusions

Nokia 515 for the totality of its qualities today has no competitors in the mobile device market, alone occupying a very popular niche - simple and at the same time beautiful and elegant push-button phones. Of course, it would be possible to reinforce expanded Internet functionality wi-Fi moduleYes, and the permission of the video taken to enlarge (and raise the quality of the camera). But given the positioning of the monoblock, the claims to its capabilities are hardly look reasonable.

The official price of Nokia 515 is 6990 rubles. The solid amount for a push-button phone, however, we are sure that it will not be an obstacle to the novelty to success.

And the mass of the possibilities provided by modern operating systems, there is a category of devices that continue to enjoy success even with their keyboard design. One of these is the phone "Nokia 515", the case of which is made of a special aluminum alloy. Due to this, the device does not seem like old-fashioned device, on the contrary, it can become an excellent attribute of the style of a business person.

We will tell you more about the possibilities and characteristics of this model in today's article.

General concept

Phone "Nokia 515", the reviews about which we have collected for writing this article is not more likely to be attributed to the middle class, given the quality of the assembly, the functionality and, of course, the cost of the model.

The device has a small 2.4-inch display, which is covered with special protective glass Guerilla Glass applied on touch phones. Thanks to compact sizes, it is conveniently placed in his pocket and does not cause inconvenience during operation. At the same time, the model supports two SIM cards, due to which with "Nokia 515", specifications which we will give a little further in the text, stay in touch in different networks It will be easy. Again, this will make it possible to more profitably use the advantages of different mobile operators.

Housing

Describing the phone "Nokia Dual 515", select the quality of the assembly and materials to be mentioned separately, which are applied to this model. Aluminum is processed in such a way that his matte surface is very pleasant in his hand and does not glide at all, as it happens with compact monoblock models. In addition, the phone screen has an anti-glare effect, thanks to which, even with direct sunlight, the image is clearly visible on the display. As shown about the "Nokia 515" technical characteristics, customer reviews, - the phone is assembled quite tight, due to which it is resistant to shocks and drops even with a high height. Therefore, worry about its integrity, as in the case of some new "iPhone", you should not.

Technical equipment

Yes, and the "filling" of the device such that some touchscreen smartphone will surely envy. At the level of consumption random access memoryWhat a model possesses 64 megabytes is an excellent parameter. According to the phone "Nokia 515" user reviews, delays or "glitches" with this model simply does not happen. The device menu, as well as pre-installed applications here work as clock. What else do you need a business person?

Another interesting point is the "Nokia 515" equipment. Instructions, cord for connecting to a PC and charger - all this buyer will find in his box.

Camera

In addition to the simple features of calls, sending and receiving messages, as well as the work of some office applications, the device also supports the camera. It has a resolution of 5 megapixels here, which allows you to make quite anemble shots. For example, take a photo of the text, which in the future you will need to download to the computer and read, with this device is very simple.

If you look at the supplied book on the phone "Nokia 515" specifications (reviews will also fit), you can also find information about the LED flash. It will allow you not only to use the device as a flashlight in the right momentBut it will also provide an opportunity to improve lighting when shooting at night, which will significantly improve the quality of the pictures in the future.

Additional features

Do not think that this phone can only take pictures and call. The platform on which the device operates is also equipped with a powerful standard media player. Together with the ability to connect cards microSd memory A volume of up to 32 GB, it can make an excellent player of audio and video files from your phone, which is facilitated by the "Nokia 515" specifications.

Nokia released new phone. Not a smartphone, but the phone is with hardware buttons and two SIM cards. It is called nokia 515 Dual Sim.. DGL accidentally turned out to be the history of this apparatus.

So, in an excellent country, elves lived - there were fun designers and marketers. They laughed all the time and ran through green lawns, and the flowers sang them after the good songs. All they had good and nice. And once the main cheerful marketer woke up with a brilliant idea. In a dream, a cash fairy appeared to him and said that there, in the country of coarse giants, there was an urgent need for prestigious simple phone. It should be simple-simple. And at the same time create a feeling of prestigidity. So that the rude Giant, taking it into the rough paws, felt like a little elf. And for this he will give a real elves a whole bunch of gold, and then dance around the fire and singing his stupid grand songs.

Elf-marketers supported their leader and came running to the elves-designers. Those were surprised at first, but, drinking the milk of God's cows, started incarnation of sleep in the elven reality. When milk was held, merry marketers told them on the heads of dandelions stems.

And very soon it turned out at the funny elves a miracle phone. The case is from flying aluminum, and the screen hid under monkey whisch. And everything worked on the ancient elven operating system, the sources of which were kept good gnomes under the layer of magical moss.

And so I liked the phone with fun marketers, which they decided to sell it twice as expensive than their own smartphones. After all, the main fun marketer dreamed of another dream. It consisted of mysterious numbers - 6, 9, 9 and 0. They rotated on a pink background, changing color and shape. And I understood the main cheerful marketer that this is a sign. And made it at the price of the phone for a country of coarse giants.

And now - seriously.

The Nokia 515 case is made of aluminum. The 2.4-inch screen protects Gorilla Glass 2 Glass 2. QVGA screen resolution, it knows how to display up to 262 thousand colors.

Phone thickness 11 mm. Weight - without a small 103 grams. Works all running Series 40.

Permission of 5 megapixels chamber. There is a LED flash.

The phone looks pretty cute. Especially white. Although the black is good.

What do you think, how much will the phone cost?

Keep tight for the chair. Six thousand nine hundred and ninety rubles! 6 990! Where does such a price tag come from?

Let's forget that the chief of two SIM cards costs 500-700 rubles, and there are copies with a built-in TV among it.

Let's forget about numerous branded devices of Sino-Korean origin. They can be purchased for 700-1000 rubles, and for 4-5 thousand there are quite real smartphones on Android.

But the Nokia itself is the cheapest two-minute device 101 Dual SIM costs 1,090 rubles. For 3,000, you can buy a pretty Nokia 206, and for 3 200 - perfectly looking x2-02. And for 4,000, two-minute ASHA 501 is already offered. At current times, this is, of course, a very weak machine, but still it is sensory and more advanced in the interface plan.

And for what the potential owner of Nokia 515 will overpay, at least twice?

For magic design? Yes, the metal is wonderful, but the taste and color, as you know, there is no comrades. And aluminum, if anyone does not know, in mass production is cheaper than plastic.

Screen? Well, let's not mix each other. No coating will save this archaism. Operating system? But S40, by and large, never was. And now there is nothing to say.

No Wi-Fi support. 3G is available, but slow, 7.2 Mbps. There are no unusual functions.

So what to pay money? I suspect that the image of a wealthy guy who was tired of smartphones was born in the minds of marketers, and he decided to buy a simple phone, but such that somehow stand out against the backdrop of peers. Or a rich man of middle-aged, seeking an apparatus for the elderly mother, but not ready to give her in the hands of "some kind of decoch" (although, afraid, mom from Series 40 will happen a light hysterical). Well, or ... no, on this my fantasy ends. Not a marketer I am.

I will not venture to argue that there are no such people. Of course I have. Thousands and a half to the whole of Russia. But, I'm afraid it is not enough for Nokia even in its current state. And certainly does not cover the cost of development and promotion.

And it seems that the new year should be expected to significantly reduce the price. But then, I'm afraid, it is not going anywhere from intraspecific competition, and competitors will surely have time to tense several dozen two-minute dialers ...

What do high-blast analysts say?

"FEATURE PHONES" mobile phones occupy half of the total sales of mobile devices in the world - comments on Simon Baker (Simon Baker), programs manager, mobile device division, central and eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, IDC. - There is a demand for mobile phones with advanced functional on the market. Nokia is one of the few manufacturers developing this segment. New model Nokia 515 offers a stylish design, as well as a full functionality: fast communications, high-quality photography and access to popular applications. This is an excellent example of a phone designed for those who do not always need a complex smartphone, or for those who use the Internet and e-mail on the tablets, and mobile phone Uses for calls and SMS.

It is not for sure - whether the analyst said about the price tag. And about the fact that the functionality is a mapping specified on an arbitrary set and having a numerical area of \u200b\u200bvalues. But, in any case, it remains only to wish Nokia good luck. In the end, it can be assumed that if the company has enough resources for such oddities, it means everything is good.
