Today I have purchased a new mobile phone, Nokia 3110 classic. After searching and analyzing a good number of mobile phones, finally I settle for this model of Nokia. I paid 4500 rupees for this mobile phone. After taking my sunday lunch, I got an idea that let’s leave Motorola L6 and go for a new cell phone. Then I visited the The mobile Store located in HSR layout, Bangalore. After doing some analysis on several phone sets, I concluded that Nokia 3110 classic is best in terms of value for money. The best thing about this mobile is that it supports 2GB external memory which can be used for storing good amount of data in mobile phone.
