Would like to share my horrible experience with Nokia XL. June 19th 2014 me and my sister bought Nokia XL from Nokia Priority Store - Cellular World, Rameshwar Tower, Shimpoli Road, Boriveli West, Mumbai. Our requirement was very simple as in we wanted a handset with dual SIM and which can connect to social media applications like whatsapp, facebook etc We specifically asked the sales representatives at store about accessibility to whatsapp since today its the most preferred chat application.
Sales person at the store confirmed us that Nokia XL being a multimedia handset whatsapp is for sure accessible, after we billed both the handsets the sales exec downloaded whatsapp application in our handsets however it failed to login. The executive then took help of his colleagues and after many trials the reason given to us was due to weak network connectivity whatsapp is not allowing us to login. Since poor network connectivity was beyond their control we left the store thinking well try it after some time from home. Soon in a day or 2 we realized how we were fooled and what scrap we have bought.
I’ve tried to list down a few frustrating facts about Nokia XL
No access to whatsapp(cheapest of handset available today in the market has whatsapp and other social media connectivity).
During long phone calls when the screen goes to energy saving mode(becomes dark), the phone doesn’t comes to its normal functional mode no matter how much you try, the only option left is to force shutdown and restart the instrument.
During an active call if you want to switch over any other option like phonebook or message to refer anything, this handset does not allows you to come back to the main screen even when your call is over and you want to end the call the only option left is reboot the instrument.
Poor FM reception - the FM/Radio connectivity is so poor that you cannot listen to a song clearly without interruption/voice break even when you are in the mid of a city like Mumbai.
Poor internet connectivity internet connectivity in this handset is so poor that you have to literally struggle to open a simple website like google search, we are using Vodafone, Docomo, Airtel and Aircel connections when same sim cards are used in our old handsets( Samsung) internet connection is perfectly fine.
The handset is heavy almost as if you are holding a 1 kilogram weight in your palm.
I WISH I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE SCORE ON EACH PARAMETERS.
