The Nokia 3205

The following technical Nokia 3205 review is based on a computer algorithm, it is not a live hands-on review. It takes a close look at its pros and cons to help you make a well-informed decision.

Make sure you look at my user reviews of the Nokia 3205.

The Good:

  1. Weight: The Nokia 3205 has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as an advantadge. (score: 12/20)
  2. Phone Book: It can store up to 500 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  3. Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)

The Average:

  1. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 168 hours. It is about average. (score: 12/20)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Talk Time: 141 minutes of talk time. Not quite sufficient for most users, in my opinion. (Find phones with more battery life) (score: 4/20)
  2. Speakerphone: It doesn't appear to include a speakerphone, which would be useful in some situations. (Find phones with a speakerphone) (score: 0/10)
  3. Camera: The 640 x 480 built-in camera is minimal. Useful, but you won't win photography contests with it. (score: 3/10)

Overall Score: 58
