Compare 2730 classic Deals

The Nokia 2730 Classic is a solid-bar first-timer 3G phone, reflected in the attractive price and modest spec. It has a flat, well spaced keypad, a 2-inch QVGA screen, 2 megapixel camera with video and fast access to the internet via 3G, with messaging options of SMS, MMS and email readily available.

There is an MP3 player, FM radio and – well done Nokia; a 3.5mm jack, enabling you to plug in your headset of choice rather than be tied to the supplied device. A 1GB memory card is included, so the sparse internal memory is no hindrance to having music on the go. It includes Windows Live Messenger and Ovi Mail.

Bluetooth with A2DP is included - short-range wireless data transfer, including support for a wireless headset - and the 2730 takes microSD cards up to 2GB. There is no GPS support, but the 2730 is compatible with Nokia Maps, using network triangulation for positioning.

Weighing only 88g, the 2730 shuns the sparkly toys in favour of pragmatic functionality and good looks. Battery life is rated at 3.3 hours’ talk time and up to 17 days on standby from a full charge.
