Just what I needed- no push buttons five times or thick fingers on screens!

Wi-fi refused to work on it so if you purchase on try this first. The calendar also was difficult to amend, although this may have been me.

Although almost 60 and blonde by temperament I use an iPad and iPod Touch so understand touch screens and apps - just didn't want another heavy and very expensive item when I mainly use a phone for texting (as I live in Germany). Having tried an LG phone it seemed so complicated - the Nokia Lumia had far too many features for me so after sendig them back and reading all comments on the Asha 303 I decided it sounded just right. What a relief.....reviews were absolutely spot on. Took few mins to set phone up and a couple of hours here and there to learn most of the features, set home screen as I wanted and clear the 'rubbish' off that I didn't want to see. Very easy to set up wifi etc. The qwerty
Keyboard is great - was slightly in panic seeing how tiny the numbers were but then realised the left hand button brings up a large touch screen numerical pad. Backlit keys good too. Wouldn't say the phone is quite idiot-proof, but if u know Nokia menus it is relatively easy to work it out. I actually downloaded the User Guide onto my Kindle app on my iPad which is much easier than peering at the tiny instructions...mind you at least u get some instructions with a Nokia!!! Am a very satisfied customer...100% recommend. Hope this helps other people too.

Disappointed not to be able to transfer data from my HTC Cha-Cha to this phone. Nice and light. Not obvious how to connect to the PC and no cable included. As it happens I can use old HTC one. Remains to be seen if it will sync. Failure to sync calendar or notes was reason to abandon ChaCha.

And by the way, what is that weird plug that comes with it, it does not fit my standard UK wall socket, had to use an old Nokia charger.

Need a phone not a command module?
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I confess to being surprised that I'm now officially OLD. I learnt this interesting fact from teenager number two who was horrified that I would accept a telephone that, at the very least, couldn't command the NATO air force.

For me a phone is for speaking to people, sending texts and - only in emergency - going onto the internet.

Starting from that point this phone scores:

Speaking to people or talking on the phone- 10/10 as it is very clear and easy to use. Best clarity on a mobile phone I've ever heard. My wife who is slightly deaf also has one of these and loves it.

Texting - I love the combination of touch screen (and it's fairly responsive even to my prodding) and the all important and very good qwerty keyboard. Didn't Blackberry using this sort of system at the height of their power? It's very easy to use and control. Very impressed

Internet - yes it'll do it but at it's own pace. I don't care.

Great all rounder that does what it sets out to do - full time phone and texting machine with occasional trips onto the web. My sort of phone but I'd have to confess to being over 25

Very easy to use
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I have just started to use this phone and it is really very intuitive... have not needed to use the manual very much. This was one of my main reasons for purchasing Nokia! The width of the phone takes some getting used to, but I guess that is normal coming from a regular, "dumb" phone. I have to keep increasing the volume setting each time I receive a call, and that is somewhat annoying, but I am not sure if it's due to something I have yet to set correctly. Overall, I am very happy with my new phone :-)

Brilliant phone for those of us who don't need to play games on our phone to complete our lives.

This 'phone is for those of us that want a 'phone to communicate, NOT PLAY SILLY GAMES! It covers all bases for internet,messaging, email and calls of course plus sending photo's of baby Tarquin to Granny. You can use it anywhere in the known world although zombies playing "Angry Birds" may not be up to its best points. GET IT IF YOU WANT A 'PHONE THAT DOES WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR, TO COMMUNICATE.
