Nokia 2700 Classic

Nokia 2700 classic is a mobile phone with a "basic" configuration. At a low cost, it offers the user a fairly wide range of functions, quite worthy of modern mobile devices.

The phone is made in monoblock form factor with characteristic smoothed corners. The body material is plastic, the main colour is black (the models are also produced in grey and red), with a shiny “chrome” edging on the sides and ends and thin inserts of the same colour on the front and rear panels. One of these inserts separates the screen and control keys from the numeric keypad.

Keyboard Nokia 2700c — classic layout, in addition to the number keys, includes a five-way joystick, two function keys and answer and end call keys. Numeric buttons are not divided vertically, which is not entirely rational in terms of ergonomics. Despite the presence of an mp3 player, there are no separate volume keys, and there are no music keys, which can also create some inconvenience. The speaker is located as standard — above the screen, but the microphone is placed under the keyboard — its hole is located between the "3" and "6" keys. The camera lens is located on the back panel, and the sound speaker is located at the bottom.

All connectors are placed on the upper end. There are three of them: a standard connector for a “thin” Nokia plug, a 3.5 mm headset jack and a microUSB connector covered with a plastic cap. On the right side of the case there is a slot for a memory card, on the left side there is a slot for a loop handle.

The phone is equipped with a fairly powerful battery, which in fact allows you to do without recharging up to four days.

The screen is 2", bright enough. Viewing angles are quite small, visibility in sunlight is average. Due to the size for surfing the Internet and watching videos or maps, the screen does not fit well. The screen cover and the entire front panel are prone to getting dirty.

The Nokia 2700c 2 megapixel camera is standard for its class, has no flash and autofocus. It is possible to record video in 176x144 resolution and 15 fps.

From multimedia applications, a player, voice recorder and FM radio are available.

Memory expansion is done through microSD cards. When using cards with a capacity of more than 2 GB, malfunctions may occur. Otherwise, the software part of the phone works quite stably and quickly, without noticeable shortcomings.

The package includes a phone, battery, memory card, headset, charger and instruction manual. USB cable sold separately.

In general, Nokia 2700c quite successfully combines the versatility of modern mobile devices and low cost. The phone is perfect for everyday use "for its intended purpose", or as a second, additional device. On the other hand, the multimedia part of Nokia 2700c is far from perfect, so it can hardly be recommended to those who need a "ringing player".
