nkg Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Disclaimer: I am no expert on mobile phones, although I am reasonably good with computers My teeruk has been pestering me to buy her a new phone, so I've agreed. She says she has seen a Nokia phone advertised on TV - it sounds like a genuine smartphone from her description - camera, big touchscreen etc. She said that the price was 3000 Baht - seems very cheap. After a bit of Googling, I think perhaps the model she saw was the Nokia Asha 501? Anybody have any thoughts on this? Her requirements are internet access, a big screen, a basic camera and Facebook. And for some reason she really really wants a Nokia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 That 511 has no 3g. This one is possibly the one . http://www.thaimobilecenter.com/spec/Nokia_Asha_311.asp One thing to note the Nokia is not exactly cutting edge and doesn't have many apps available. I have a friend with a similar phone. He likes it. Sent from my i-mobile i-STYLE Q6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yimlitnoy Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) I bought a Nokia 720 for my wife and she loves it. The operating system is windows so it is very easy to operate and to connect to our computers. I have a HTC and I hate it... It has colors that women love. Buy her one or two...

wpcoe Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks for the Lumia 720 mention. The on/off/sleep switch on my iPhone 4 broke and I'm thinking that's a signal to get a new phone. The price of the Lumia 720 is sure better than a new iPhone 5. Granted, less pixel density and slower processor than iPhone 5 (probably on a par with my iPhone 4?), but I think I could live with that. Is there a way to browse the Windows Store for a Windows Phone before buying it? I'd like to see what apps are actually available for a Windows 8 phone.

nkg Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks for the advice! I bought a Nokia Asha 311 in the end. It seems like a decent enough phone, but the screen is a little on the small side (3 inches) and the resolution isn't great. In hindsight, I should have probably bought a Nokia Lumia 520 - 5500 Baht from Big C. The Asha is still a nice phone though for 3500 Baht. Big C don't do refunds or replacements for mobile phones, so if you buy from there, choose carefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
