Verdict:

3G touchscreen phone at an affordable price, Samsung Star Nano 3G is surely a competitor to Nokia 5230.The 1.3MP camera is the only factor against the phone which is otherwise a definite worth-buying touchsrceen phone.Since we are getting a 5MP camera phone (read Nokia X2) from Nokia at Rs. 5000 in India, Samsung should have included a better camera in the Samsung Star Nano 3G.Also Star Nano 3G has just 3G but no HSDPA, which means that the maximum download speed can be 384 kbps only.

Review :

Pros >>

-Longer talk time

-Up to 8GB microSD support

Cons >>

-Only 1.3 MP camera

-3G without HSDPA

-Lack of 3.5 mm audio jack

Price:

LG GU285 has been priced @ Rs.6,500 INR in India

Our Take:

May be slightly over priced, just compare this with the latest LG GW300 (which doesn’t support 3G though), you’ll get to know that ! The phone does support 3G but don’t expect high speed downloads as it doesn’t support HSDPA.Camera is also a big disappointment should have been  2MP at least, times have changed I’m sure not many people would want to buy a 1.3MP camera phone at such a price these days.

If you want a cheaper branded 3G phone, you may want to have a look at Nokia 2730 Classic 3G which is priced much lower than this model.
