    Rs. 5349 would be about roughly about $90. The phone's cheap!

    No matter how cheap the phone is, Nokia have lost all the "Asha"(Hope) of competing with the Rivals. People are craving for Micromax and here they come with Canvas again. 😁

    Yes I agree with AbhinavS.
    Nokia is reworking on its strategy and targeting middle class once again.But micromax musiq and canvas are on a rapid phase in sale and nokia cant stand still.
    my review is simple-Nokia lost its competition because of its display size.Just 2.4 inch for 5349rs is irritating.Though it may be loaded with variety of features , users find it difficult in browsing with 2.4 inch screen.
    likes:sequential shot,self portrait.
