5 Of the Best Nokia Phones of 2011

Currently, when you hear the word "phone" you instantly think of the iPhone or some other flashy gadget in the market. Little do we know that there are a bunch of good quality phones out there that are way below the price level of the iPhone. Where else can see get quality phones with great prices but from Nokia. Nokia has been a stalwart in the mobile phone industry, offering high quality gadgets within reasonable prices. Listed below are 5 of the newest and best phones from Nokia, complete with pros and cons.
Rank 5 - Nokia 7020
Pros:
- Included accessories are quite handy. The WH-101 Nokia Stereo Headset is a very sweet giveaway.
- The phone actually has very low SAR rating. A SAR or Specific Absorption Rate is a means to measure the amount of RF or radio frequency exposure characteristics of a specific cell phone. The acceptable rating is at 1.6 w/kg. The Nokia 7020 has a SAR rating of 0.51 w/kg.
Cons:
- Very low recording rate of 15 fps.
- The 7020 only has a 2 megapixel camera
- Batterylife is slightly lower than its counterparts. With just 276 minutes worth of talk time, it entails less usage time for some people who rely heavily on their phones.
Rank 4 - Nokia X1-00
Pros:
- Very long battery life. If the claim that it has 786 minutes worth of talk time in it, then it's practically a life saver for a lot of people.
- Included accessories are a charm. The WH-102 Nokia Stereo Headset that is included in the package is a very useful add-on.
Cons:
- For a bar phone, the X1 is extremely bulky. The phone is around 16mm thick which makes it rather impractical to some.
- The X1 has a SAR rating of 1.01 w/kg. Not that high but there are better phones out there with lesser SAR ratings.
Rank 3 - Nokia E7-00
