Sign up with Googlei needed to get a phone for company driver, not too expensive, as their phones tend to disappear...
couldn't get decent phone for around R700-R800, with at least 4.5" screen at Pep, Vodacom, MTN etc.
so when the Nokia 1 came as 'special' at GAME on weekend, i figured, perhaps Nokia not a bad option, even if a bit more expensive than the cheapie brands. Nokia 'should' be a bit more reliable, better performing than those unknown Pepstore brands
been 'playing' with it for past few days, just to get a feel for it, and how it goes, before handing to driver.
sofar, it seems pretty OK.... not too much lag for the low end performance, only 8Gb RAM, so added SD card that you can select as external memory or use as internal memory for all phone usage.
slight feeling the screen is not as responsive to touch as i'm used to in a more expensive phone, but surely still better than i remember on the sub R700 phones, like the voda kicka etc.
quite a 'big' size battery, so battery life looks to be quite good... used the GPS while driving to work this AM, more than hour, and took quite a few different routes, other than suggested, as i have my preferred route, so a few reroutes needed, and battery level didn't dip too much.
sofar, not yet disappointed
it could be good option for sub-R1000 users
