The
Nokia 1100 is an entry-level phone, designed with simplicity and
reliability in mind. One nice feature of the 1100 is its silicon
keypad - easy-to-use and non-slip. The sides of the phone are also
made of a non-slip material, so overall the phone is nice to hold
and physically easy to use.
The
1100 does come with a few gimmicky features, such as a torch, but
Nokia has mostly stuck to basic features, so reliability and user-friendliness
should follow. If you're looking for something exciting, look elsewhere,
but if you want a basic phone with excellent battery life, the Nokia
1100 is a good choice. The new Nokia 1110
improves on the 1100 in a number of ways.
Features
of the Nokia 1100 include:
Black & white display with selectable font
size
Phonebook with up to 250 names on SIM card and
up to 50 in internal memory
Distribution lists and concatenated text (SMS)
messaging
Picture Messaging
Predictive text input for most European languages,
Arabic, and Hebrew
Date and time screensavers
Built-in alarm and reminders
Stopwatch and countdown timer
Full-size animated screensavers
Two built-in games (Snake II and Space Impact+)
Automatic keyguard lock
Keyguard lock with security code
Flashlight
Mono ringtones with composer
Speed dialing for up to 9 names
Vibration alert
Dual band
Weight: 86 g
Size: 106 mm x 46 mm x 20 mm

Let's be clear about this. Phone's are for communicating with and
should be simple to operate. Having had mobiles for work since 1991
(and I hate them all: "enslaved by technology" and all that) I rate
Nokia's. They have a logical menu system and are tough and reliable.
If you want a fashion accessory (yawn!) or want to send a picture
of your bottom to your many and varied acqaintances then go somewhere
else but the neat little Nokia 1100 is the phone user's phone. It's
small, inexpensive and you use it to talk to people. Having said
that the super bright LED torch and ringtone composer are great
little additions....thoroughly recommended!! Rating:

The torch however is a clever addition and can be of real use in

I started a new job two weeks ago and was given a Nokia 1100 as
my work phone. At first the Nokia 1100 appeared to be a cheap and
nasty piece, but as the day went on and as I was using the Nokia
1100 more and more, I became quite fond of it. The phone is a good
size and doesn't weigh much. Which makes it comfortable to carry
around in your pocket. It's very easy to use and the battery appears
to last forever. I have had the phone on standby for the last 7
days and made/received a dozen calls and not yet needed to recharge
it. Even though the menu style operating system is easy to use,
I personally think it appears rather dated; it looks exactly the
same as the menu system I had on my old Nokia 7110, which I brought
four or five years ago. Perhaps they should change the graphic symbols
within the menu system to make it appear different and more upto
date. ?? Yet, you could say, "Don't fix it, if it's not broken."
The flashlight is nice and bright, and it's very useful, especially
once I discovered that you don't need to keep the button pressed
down to make it stay on. What I find annoying about the Nokia 1100,
is you can only enter one number per name in the contacts phonebook,
which is not at all good if your contact has, for example, a mobile,
a LAN phone and a fax number. I also found that you are limited
to 16 characters per contact name. This combined with the one number
per contact issue is probably something worth considering when purchasing
the Nokia 1100, especially if your trying to enter contact names
like, 'Jackie Stewarts mobile', 'David Dixon's LAN Phone' or 'Richard
Watson's Fax.' You could probably think of ways round this, by abbreviating.
But I did find this rather frustrating when entering my work colleagues
contact details. Overall I think the Nokia 1100 is a nice tidy looking,
easy to use basic mobile phone. Which seems to last for ages without
the need for recharging. The only let down for me, is the one number
per name limitation within the contacts function. At first I wasn't
too sure about the Nokia 1100, as it appeared a bit dated compared
with other mobile phones and it reminded me of an old Nokia I use
to own a few years back. But, I must admit, my fondness for the
Nokia 1100 grew the more I used it. Rating:

I give this phone 3 out of 5. The phone itself is solid to hold,
and basic. And those are the 2 main reasons I bought it. It is going
to be my dads phone, so the lack of features is not a problem (esp
as I have an nGage, 6310i and a 3330 kicking around, plus my works
phone which is an orange spv c500). Whilst a good solid phone, I
mark it down for a few of reasons. Firstly, it lacks bluetooth.
Now I have gadgety phones, my dad is unlikely to ever use BT, but
it is a feature I feel should be supplied. Secondly, I feel as it
is marketed at those people who just want a simple, reliable phone,
(and possibly marketed at the elderly) why have they not chosen
to make it shock and water resistant like the 5210 and 6250. And
thirdley, it does not boast all the features of some of its counter
parts, so I am surprised how low the battery life is. Maybe I have
just been spoilt by my 6310i, as to be fair, for its size and class
the battery life is good (but could e better :D) In choosing this
phone, I had several criteria to meet, Nokia (if possible), longest
battery life available, simple, large keypad. - In the end I was
torn between this, the 3310/30/3410/3510 on keypad size and the
5210/6250 for ruggedness. Rating:

This phone saved my life. There I was miles in the middle of nowhere
stood by the side of my broken down car. I suddenly remembered that
my trusty nokia 1100 no gimmick mobile was in the glove compartment.
My concerns were drawn to the fact that the phone had'nt been near
a charger for several weeks and would most probably not work, How
wrong was I, with the first push of the button, the phone lit up
and with vodaphone's superb coverage of out of reach places I was
soon on the phone for help. After several games of Snake 11 and
space impact I heard the sounds of a helicopter flying nearby, I
immediatley set about trying to get their attention, then I remembered
the 1100 had a torch. I hit the button and started waving the phone
which was sending a beam toward the helicopter, My only hope being
that it did not blind the pilot with it's immense power. After a
successful rescue, My nokia 1100 was awarded with a medal from her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 for outstanding reliabilit y and quality.
The moral of my story is this. phones can be played with, or phones
can be relied upon. Rating:

battery life is way too good! very lightweight that i can even ignore
it in my pocket. oh, not an mms, polyphonic cellphone, but its the
best monophonic cellphone so far. got the new space impact game
which i find quite fun. hey, the flashlight's outstanding, very
practical. i like the animated clock screensaver, i dont need my
watch for that. i can also resend my unsent message by going back
to sent items. its only four stars because of some reasons. it lacks
my favorite outbox and composer. And the red phone key is quite
small for my thumb. Rating:

I'm very pleased with this phone, it's not a show off model by any
means, no camera, mp3 player, etc, but what it does... it does it
in solid way. It has the basic features, like contact list, alarm,
rapid dial, reminders etc, but it also has some nice added features
like screensavers, a LED flashlight (that definitely can come in
handy), stopwatch, calculator etc. And the size is very nice, not
big but not lighter size either. If you know what you want and don't
need or want all those fancy gadgets like a camera, mp3 player,
color display, etc., and just want a solid phone that gets things
done then i would highly recommend this model. Sound quality and
signal are both superb, vibration is good, loud ringtones, just
an all around good phone... and oh yes, very little energy consumption,
battery life is OUTSTANDING. A cousin had one of those phones loaded
with gadgets, but he always seemed to have problems with the sound
quality and signal loss....he sold it and got the Nokia 1100, he
said "I could do alot of stuff with my old phone, except make or
receive calls". Rating:

I bought a Nokia 1100 yesterday since it was very cheap and seemed
to look better than the similar small phones available. Popular
'Snake II' and 'Space Impact +' games are included. The flashlight
is a nice addition that few other phones have. The 1100 is an excellent
and reliable handset for people who don't need MMS/email, and the
perfect spare phone for people who already have those things. Rating:

The phone is great, i wouldn't buy an expensive phone. because i
always wash them in the washing macheine, and i'm too cheap to get
insurance (damn u irish heritage!) this is a no gimmik good solid,
long battery life phone. i previously had the 3510 (which survived
it's wasshing macheine adventure), but this is a totally acceptable
upgrade, at £30 less than the 3510 when it was out. the light is
interesting, and the only gimmik point that is easily ignored. buy
it, save money, have fun Rating:

This phone is mmmrrrugh.....I really like it BUT - I always have
a hard time hanging up. No pictue on a button of a RED PHONE to
press for easy hang up. I end up hitting another key and going off
down some other menu while still on the phone and having to exit
out back to main screen then hang up. That is my only hang up about
this phone. Rating:

THIS IS THE SMART PHONE. With a phone you want to speak. This is
done perfectly with a nice design in menus and phone. It also has
one of the best battery lives in the market. Low price, which is
great for us who break or lose phones too often. For internet a
broadbanded computer is better, for an agenda buy a handheld, for
a toy buy a playstation. This is just a great phone for us who need
to speak. Congratulations NOKIA for this minimal phone ! Rating:

the only thing which makes it good and better than 2100 and3610
is that its baterry is little more powerful and it is said to be
dust resistant but its shape is no more better than 2100.if baterry
of 2100 is made more powerful then 1100 will surely fail. Rating:

I recently upgraded my hand set from a Nokia 3310 to the new Nokia
1100. At first, I was a little bit sceptical about trading in my
3310, fearing that the 1100 would be less reliable. But I was quick
to realise that the 1100 is in fact a much improved version of the
3310. If you are looking for a basic hand set, the new Nokia 1100
definitely gets the job done. User-friendly features, stylish design,
slim outlook and best of all, the silicon keypads. Although not
as responsive as the 3310, the keypads are designed to last, especially
for those of us who are 'hard key mat punchers', if you know what
I mean. Rating:

The Nokia 1100 is my second phone after the nokia 2100.Its design
is definitely a refreshing change from other Nokia basic handsets;
the silicon keymat looks great even though the buttons on the 2100
are easier to press.The 2100 is more user friedly too.The 850 MaH
BLC5 battery lasts really long and helps in reducing the overall
weight of the phone.Battery life is far better than that of the
2100.But Nokia has made some basic mistakes.The phone book memory
is just 50 which is a pity;they should have given at least 100.Polyphonic
ringtones,FM Radio,at least 2 MB of internal memory and last but
not the least,a 4096 color display would have made this set one
of the best entry level color phones.But unfortunately,the Nokia
1100 can at best be classified as a refreshing "BASIC" phone from
Nokia. Rating:

One thing i don't like is the key menu. i can't help but miss that
red phone symbol for easy exit. Also, the Phonebook feature is quite
annoying as it does not allow you choices to edit or delete the
list, but only gives you only a Call option. If you are not careful
or when you have not locked your keypad, your 1100 might make accidental
dial. Second, on the phone menu, does not allow Dual SIM feature.
Third, the automatic copy to Sent folder is also annoying and time
consuming to clean up even using the Erase All option. Fourth, The
phone memory is limited to 50 items only, very much unlike the rest
of Nokia phones which give 250 phone list. I would hv like the sleek
feature and slimness of it all, except for the porr trade-off in
keypad menu and phone menu. Nokia could do better than this. If
at all, this cellphone is fit for kids. Rating:
