I’ve always been biased towards a different brand so was interested in seeing what Nokia had to offer. Firstly the colour drew me in straight away - who wouldn’t love that purple. The phone was easy to setup and transferred most of my data quickly. The battery life is amazing. One charge and I can get almost a week out of the phone if I’m just using it occasionally or two days if I’m really using laura.e · influenster.com
