Back in 2015 I gave up on smart phones blog here. I ended up getting a second hand Nokia E71 which has been awesome(I knew it would be I had an E61). However the E71 battery life (it was an original battery) slipped to less than a day so I thought it was time to get a new phone.

I had been using the E71 in combination with an iPod touch which I intend to continue doing. After a little investigation I ended up going for a Nokia 215.

I have used it for over a month now so the summary review would be, very long battery life, very good reception, speaker phone could be louder and the Facebook Messenger implementation is usable but not quick. The built in Twitter app work well. A slight issue is the address book which really struggled with contact importing, especially with contacts with more than one telephone number.

In summary if you want a phone to be a phone and occasionally a little more than the Nokia 215 is a great choice.
