Nokia 2730

"A nice functional phone, but with one really annoying feature."

The Nokia 2730 Classic is my work phone, I just need it to call from, text, take the odd photo and other basic functions. All the other features it has (and it has a fair few) don't really interest me but it does feature a calendar, games, media player (it has a headphone socket), camera for photo...

Sells for $20 at Optus shop in Port Melbourne

I was in the Optus store in bay St. Port Melbourne recently and they were selling this phone for $20. I've had one for 2 years (time to upgrade) but it does all the simple things well. Does have Internet access but is limited and slow.

Nokia 2730 Classic review: Nokia 2730 Classic

We like the Nokia 2730 Classic's 3G connectivity and simple menus, but the user experience is hampered by stiff buttons and dodgy build quality in places Nowadays, just because you want cheap a mobile phone, it doesn't mean you have to settle for a model that will blow up in your hands, crippling you for life. Times have changed, and the penny-pinching shopper now has a huge range of decent options available. The Nokia 2730 Classic, for example, is a 3G phone that's available for free on a £10-per-month contract, £50 on a pay-as-you-go deal, and about £70 SIM-free.

Fantastic Radio, Speakers and Good MP3 player

I purchased this phone from Bell, in Canada, 2 years ago, as a pay as you go phone. I've since let the coverage expire, but here in the US I use the phone as a radio and mp3 player, it has truly great sound for a tiny device!

Bell Nokia 2730 Video Review

The one thing that comes to mind when first looking at the Nokia 2730 is that it's design looks to be taken from the early 1990's and updated for today. Which is always a good thing when dealing with classic Nokia devices. This is an entry-level phone that has a stylish/modern look to it.

Starting small

The Nokia 2730 classic is part of a trio of dirty-cheap phones headed to emerging markets. It's an economy pack that tries to provide value for money. The Nokia 2730 classic boasts the most advanced features of the bunch of cheap handsets (some of which dip down to 25 euro a piece).
