i think the premium over T375 is worth it but the deal has expired. better wait for the deal again, maybe next time with lower pricing. T375 is fine too but the UI can be slow. I have used a few feature phone from LG and the UI was laggy.

^^ S40 doesn't need 1Ghz processor or 1GB of ram. 500-600Mhz processor is sufficient. What Nokia is doing here is use cheap ARM11 processor overclocked to 1Ghz and without any GPU hence keeping the total cost down. and as you can't multitask in S40, 128MB ram will never get fully occupied. Best part about 311 is definitely that it uses a tried and trusted platform, Symbian Series 40 compared to nameless java mobile from Samsung and LG.

for 4k this is very much acceptable pricetag. But to be safe check some comments or if there is any, then review also. My main complain is LG software sucks. Bad and broken (using an LG mobile). Build quality should be fine though.

my advice is to wait for the deal to be back or maybe similar deal at Ebay.

Karbonn A15 would have been better. More ram, more internal memory and lastly Android 4.0

Ninja 4.0 biggest problem is ram. 256MB is really less for driving a mobile with that kind of resolution. may start lagging.
