Value for Money and Verdict

Nokia 114 retails at an average price of Rs 2,249 (approx., may vary), which is quite low. Its strongest selling point is Java support, which is a surprising inclusion for a phone in that price range. Although the phone does not have a secondary camera and its primary camera is somewhat unimpressive, it is, nevertheless, still considerably better than other phones in its value range. The unavailability of 3G internet speeds also means slow internet access and download times, but the phone makes up for this shortcoming by offering a wider range of messaging platform such as email, Push Email and IM. Overall, the phone is quite impressive and reliable.
