Although the Salora SM301 might be extremely portable with its small exterior but I don't think it's worth against the cramped keypad it offers and even the functionality isn't worth the struggle. With such low battery power, the Salora SM301 won't last me even half a day with my usage. With all the advanced call management features present in the Salora SM301, it is good choice for business users like me. Bluetooth for file sharing is really not of much use to me, but this feature is really handy when it comes to hands-free calling.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The size of the Salora SM301 makes it extremely portable, but with its tiny and cramped keypad it's really not of much use to me. I never let a special occasion pass by without recording it, right from cake cutting to dinner parties; and the Salora SM301 with good recording features is really good for me. I don't like the camera in particular, and I won't be buying the Salora SM301, however good the other features might be. The expandable memory of the Salora SM301 is a good option for me as against the high priced smartphones which come with high internal memory.Ishan's Review (A geek)
Although the display looks great, the tiny screen size is too awkward to please the gamer or the ardent bookworm in me. Even if your smartphone offers good amount of internal storage, extendable memory never hurts and is good to know that there's room left if you need. I don't want my smartphone to go on for days without charging, but neither do I want a “low battery” warning within an hour into a game; that's what this smartphone with 1000 mAh battery will do.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
The 1.8 inches display of the Salora SM301 was the first thing that grabbed my attention. I prefer texting over talking but this screen size is way too cramped to do that easily. It's not that amazing to own a smartphone with Yes, 0.3 MP camera resolution. There are cheaper options available that too with better camera resolution. I click hundreds of cool pics with my smartphone and don't think the pictures will be so cool with this phone.
