Review: Nokia 1110

Nokia 1110 Review

Phone rating:

The Nokia 1110 is an entry-level phone designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. It replaces the Nokia 1100 and is a better phone in a number of ways: improved battery life, the addition of a handsfree speaker, changeable covers, and uprated ringtones and games.

The screen is small, but the inverted black & white display is easy to read. Menus and navigation are simple and easy to use, especially the icon-driven phonebook. The keypad is very nice, with a square design and good sized non-slip keys, and the 4-way scroll key is very easy to use. Everything about this phone speaks simplicity, and it's easy enough for a child (or her grandmother!) to use. It's also nice and lightweight, and the battery life is excellent. There are few features other than the basics, but it's an ideal first phone, or a good choice for people who just want to make occasional calls.

Features of the Nokia 1110 include:

• Inverted black and white display with amber backlight (96 x 68 pixels)
• Messaging: SMS, picture messaging, Instant Messaging
• Storage for up to 60 text messages
• Integrated handsfree speaker
• 20-voice polyphonic ringtones with MP3 grade sound
• Three built-in games (Snake Xenzia, Dice Games, Pocket Carrom)
• Changeable Xpress-on™ colour covers
• Speaking alarm and clock
• Icon-based phonebook (200 entries) with simplified menu navigation
• Clock, stopwatch, ringtone composer
• Dual band
• Size: 104 x 44 x 17 mm
• Weight: 80g
• Talktime: up to 5 hours
• Battery standby: up to 380 hours

I love this phone very much that I also bought it for my wife and her younger sister living with us. The simplicity is amazing, the ringing tone's and even the games is wonderful. The battery last longer than I thought and the phone itself is cheap to compare other phones in the market.

Since 2002 I was used to more up range Nokias - until I came across this 1110i ("i" means the colours are not inverted, the rest is the same). It was somewhere in South Asia, and this phone turned out so sturdy and reliable as no other. Pros: Excellent dust-resistant keypad - typing sms is a pleasure; clear display; really lightweight; excellent battery life; good sound quality; handsfree; extremely fast operation (incl. startup and switch off). Cons: address book is rather limited (only 200 entries in the phone, and no multiple numbers under one name); no visual calendar (only "reminders" are there); and no wap. Recently got replaced by supposedly even better models: Nokia 1200 (b/w) and 1208 (colour). Functions are almost the same.

No, it doesn't have a camera...it doesn't have internet capabilities, it doesn't have GPS, it doesn't have video or even a colour screen. What it does have is the ability to make and receive calls and text messages, easily and without complication. If that's all you want - and as this is my work phone, it is - then this is the phone for you. I have an all singing all dancing Motorola for personal use, but this is great. It does exactly what I want it to, plus I've dropped it so many times at work and it still works. Simple, light, basic and functional. And it's a nokia.

This phone is excellent! I have had many phones over the years and I always drop them on the ground and stuff like that. This phone is indestructible. Only one word of warning: 'Snake Xenzia', one of the included games, is HIGHLY addictive. Once you get the hang of this game, you will not stop. Waiting for a bus or whatever, the urge to try and break your high score is often overwhelming. At first I was hesitant to discuss my snake problem with other Nokia 1110 users, but when I did, I realised that many of them have had similar experiences with this game. Remember, when snake xenzia starts affecting other aspects of your life that's when you have to address the problem, and recognition is the first step. What are your high scores?

The Nokia 1110 is an A++ terminal, in my opinion. Long battery life, a clear screen, cool ringtones, plus the standard easy to use no-nonsense menu system of Nokia makes it a great deal. Also a very cheap one, as i managed to purchase it for about 150$!! (It was a special offer). I previously owned a Nokia 5110 (don't laugh), and i had it for 6 years without a single incident. And i have to say i've been using the 1110 for a month now, and i'm impressed. Nokia is simplythe best brand of M.P.'s one can find on the market.

I bought this cellphone yesterday and I find it impressive inspite of it not having MMS, Flashlight, GPRS and those things. I don't know, maybe I just don't know how to activate them. I went to the Nokia website to look for the settings that will activate the GPRS and MMS Features but the website seem to have removed the settings from the website. Anyway, If I want a camera or video camera or flashlight, I'll just buy a real camera or camcorder or flashlight. Plus, if I use this in this on the streets as a flashlight, thieves might come along and snatch it away. Although I cannot deny these features can make my phone far more impressive to my friends and to me but of course a cellphone's primary function is for calling or texting and not taking pictures. I only bought this phone for 2200 bucks(Php)! I have not yet tested the real performance of the battery. The charging time is very long, this might take two hours or more. So far it's a long way till I realy find out how good this phone can be. This is far much better than my Nokia 3310 that could not even recieve messages. Well I can't blame it. It's been passed around many times. I hope there's a way to reverse the display, I want the yellow light to be the background and not the black one and also adjust the fontsize and make it smaller.

To Pandele of Romania, this is not your first phone but it is probably your first Nokia! The "defects" you mentioned are common to Nokia phones. Actually I wouldn't call them defects. You have to press the red button to start it, is that a defect? I have used some Motorolla and Ericsson phones that has a red button w/c also functions as the power button. Red button is on the right side? Come on, all Nokia phones have the red button on the right side, and so do the newer Motorolla, Samsung and Sony Ericsson phones. Menu is activated by left multifuntion button? All Nokias are like that so it's nothing new (except for the models with the so-called "Navi key", like the 1100 and 2600). There is no "exit in all situations" key? Try the red button! SMS are hard to write? Of all the phones I've used this is the easiest to text with! It does not automatically close the sent SMS window once you have sent it? Again! That is common to all Nokias (non-Symbian models) and if you are familiar to the Nokia software you shouldn't have any problem. And for the rest of us who have been users of Nokia phones for many years, we just love the Nokia software and find it the easiest and most user-friendly of all mobile phone softwares. You're talking about "non-tech people", the Nokia 1110 is for them. I find the Ericsson and Motorolla softwares far more technical than Nokia's.

I bought two identical Nokia 1110 (one for me and the other for my girlfriend) and I must say I'm not sorry I've chosen these terminals. Nokia 1110 is the best choice for people who need a heavy-duty, long-lasting battery, small and dependable mobile. It's very well equipped for normal everyday use and its battery life is one of the best. I've only got to mention one not-so-positive remark regarding 1110, it lacks only two things which made me rate it 4 stars out of five: I somehow miss the bright "flashlight" LED of Nokia 1100, and I'm not entirely enlightened about these so-called mp3-grade ringing tones. The rest of its features (like its great antenna signal, its appealing inverted display, its robustness and above all, its standby and talk time) place this handy on top of my preferences :) Someone might say: it lacks this function and it lacks that and it lacks the other! But, hey! If you're lookin' for WiFi, IR and bluetooth connectivity, displays featuring hundreds of thousands colors, slide shell design and latest symbian operating system, go buy yourself an N80 and make stunning 3-MegaPixel photos with its Carl Zeiss lens of your ... sad empty wallet :-) (i'm speaking from an ... experienced point of view)... Returning to Nokia 1110, I must confess it has to offer a correct amount of good things in return to its more than fair buying price. For those ones who are complaining about the red key being positioned to the right side of the keypad (as if this button is unpractically positioned), I only got one thing to say: you seem to be one of these people who encounter a Nokia phone for their first time :P - go and point your browser to GSMArena.com or even http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/nokia.htm - you're gonna be suprised descovering that the most successful mobile phone manufacturer worlwide (oh, yeah, I'm talking about Nokia) has been implementing "red buttons positioned to the right side of the keypad" since early 1996-s. Please excuse my sarcasm but I can't believe there still are people who aren't familiarized (at least just a bit) with Nokia handsets! And also please excuse my going offtopic :)

I have seen a lot of reviews about this phone saying it is the mother of all cell phones -it is very far away from the truth.The only thing valuable about it is its long lasting battery(acumulator). All the rest is defective: you have a red and a green button on it , but you have to press the red one to start it(?!?).The red button is on the right wich is the most used position so you have the tendency to press it to answer an incoming call. The reversed LCD is visible only when active(backlighted), otherwise it is extremely hard to read(you need a very powerful light).The main menu is not activated by the central menu pad as you would normally expect, but by the left side multifunction button.You do however navigate in it with its central pad once activated. Software is defective: You have an auto lock feature of the keyboard, but it does not work if you have something typed in it(so if you put it in your pocket and accidentally press something while you do that, autolock does nothing.By the way this is the most common situation in wich the phone dials unexpectedly ).It does not revert to the main screen after a while, which it whould be useful for a non-tech person. There is no "exit in all situations" key, again very useful for non-tech people. SMS are extremely hard to write on that small screen and it does not automatically close the sent SMS window once you have sent it. And this is not all.I am an software engineer and I know very well what I am saying and this is not my first mobile phone.

I love the Nokia 1110! It has the basic features which I really need! I've used some of the high-end phones before such as the Windows Mobile and the Symbian Smartphones. Sure, they do have some exciting features such as MP3, video camera, bluetooth, etc. When I got my 1st Symbian phone, the Nokia 6630, I was so excited because I could install lots and lots of games and applications and also it's got a memory card where I could store MP3 but then I would only use them for the first few months or so and then got bored with it eventually. I ended up using my so-called smartphone for plain texting and that's the time when it becomes a pain in the ass! You see, the previous phones I had like the Sony Ericsson K700 and the Motorola Razor V3, have really nice features but texting with them is quite difficult. And their batteries lasts for 2 days max! With the Nokia 1110, texting is a breeeeze! The silicone keypad is very soft to the thumb and you feel it when you press on it so you don't have to double-check if you pressed the keys enough or not. Best phone for heavy texters like me. They say battery lasts 4 to 7 days. I haven't proven that yet as I've only been using this for 2 days. The package I got included a BL-5CA battery which has less power than the standard BL-5C, but that's ok. I got this for a ridiculously low price of 2,600 pesos (approx. 50 USD). The BL-5C replacement battery costs about 40 USD, and the charger around 10 USD. It just doesn't make sense! If I needed a spare battery, I'll just buy another Nokia 1110 package! Anyway, anyone who is thinking of buying a Nokia 1100 should get the 1110 instead. For a few additional bucks, you get a nicer looking phone (I think the 1100 looks too cheap) plus more features such as loudspeaker and 4-way navigation keys which makes texting much easier. It also has built-in polyphonic ringtones with MP3 grade, although you can only download monotones. It's got a Number Screening feature which filters unwanted calls or text. If you want a colored version of this, there's the N1600. But personally, I wouldn't pay more for a colored phone that doesn't even have MMS! It's just a waste! The inverted LCD and white keypad backlights of this phone looks sooo beautiful in the dark. There are only 2 things I didn't like about this phone. One is that you can only have up to 3 lines for SMS. It would have been better if they included an option for smaller fonts to allow as more lines for text. Another is that the ring type is only in Ascending mode and you have no option to change that. I gave it 4 stars for those reasons. Anyway, I would like to share a couple of tips for this phone; First- you probably noticed that there are only two lines for the phonebook list. You can actually make this into 4 lines by disabling "Contact images" and then setting the "Contacts view" to "Name list". You can do all these in the "Contacts" menu. Secondly- I am worried that the LCD being inverted makes it more prone to damage. So I make sure the screensaver is always active. You see, the purpose of screensavers is not just to entertain your eyes but to protect your screen from being damaged because of being 'still' for a long time. It wasn't called SCREEN SAVER for nothing! Anyway, this phone is a really good buy as a 2nd phone or for those who only need a phone for texts or calls. And for the price of it, you couldn't really complain much about the features that it lacks.

Hi, 1st of all there are always two categories of PHONES ones with all exciting features like Cameras MP3 etcn a a fabolous price n Others the real phones which are meant for calling n SMS etc........The Nokia 1110 belongs to the second category n Gets all the 5 points in its own category,,,,, It loooks gud, it sounds gud, it works fast, its ringtunes are Cool, its keypad rocks --whatelse one needs.But the one thing I would have wanted in The set was Bluetooth headset connectivity so that we can connect a bluetooth Headset... But Not to mention that its a low budget phone n in PK what u get in RS.3000 is never more than it... N it gives u a lot more than it costs.....WeLLDONE NOKIA..

the inverted monochrome is a little difficult to read in the daytime.the keygaurd lock does not work.but the good thing about the phone is its ringtone quality and the loudspeaker clearity.the talking alarm is not so impressive.

A really good phone; not the smallest, but very comfortable to hold and use. The menus are intuitive and fast. Much better than the Siemens model I had previously (which used to crash periodically). I was concerned about the inverted screen, but needn't have been: it's very easy to read. The only downsides are that the keyguard security (PIN lock when in standby) doesn't seem to work (software bug?), and the ringtone composer only lets you write monophonic tunes. Incidentally, the "mp3 quality" ring tones really are true recordings (not just MIDI files) - some have vocals.

Inverted black and white display looks terrible, so see it before you buy. The signal indicator and battery indicator are placed on the top of the screen horizontally and are very difficult to read and analyse. The Contacts list displays only 2 names at a time, and only 3 lines of text message are displayed at a time instead of 4 lines in the 1100 model. The phone instrument is available with either of 2 batteries as per User Manual- BL5C or BL 5CA, so it is important to check what battery you are getting. If you display the clock (in standby mode), the information about your location ("cell info display") has no place and is displayed by way of scrolling.

I'm very pleased that I made the right choice with this no-nonsense Nokia 1110. My last mobile was a Philips. It was great ... kept it going for six years. This Nokia is so good, I expect to keep it until it packs-up or is nicked. If that means I keep it for ten years ... well fine. If you're one of those dumb people who sees the Phones 4U TV adverts and thinks "Duh, I'm ashamed of my mobile - better buy a new one", well go and waste your cash. Since I typically make only about five minutes' of calls a week, my Nokia 1110 is good for up to nine days on stand-by! That's cool, because I have plenty of more interesting things to do than fiddle around with chargers every day. Other plus points for me: (1) It's small and light, (2) When it's on stand-by, you can still see what's on the screen. There's really nothing wrong with this phone. The reviewers on this site who've given it a low score probably get-off on downloadable poly ringtones, unnecessary screensavers, integrated mp3 players and cameras. If you really need those things, sure, look elsewhere. Good luck.

I have owned several modern phones with colour displays, cameras and MP3 players. I bought Nokia 1110 because I wanted a simple and fast phone with plenty of talktime. From the start, I have been more than satisfied with this phone. It does just what I need. I talk a lot, and I get well over six hours of talktime with no recharging! It is also by far the fastest phone I've used - when I press a button, the user interface reacts instantaneously. The only thing I miss is a calendar. It has reminders though, but I have never used them yet.

I chose to purchase this phone on it's cost alone ($79AU + $10 credit) since all I want with it is to make and receive calls. When I took it from it's packet and bunged in the battery, I was alarmed that the screen details were that feint that my poor old eyes couldn't make out the characters - even in the dunny with the lights off! However, now that it's fully charged the display is adequate (although all but invisable in stand-by mode)and the ease of setting it up to my personal tastes was very simple. The claimed MP3 sound quality is a bit of an exageration but hell, so long as it makes enough noise (which it does) to alert me that someone is trying to contact me, then I'm happy enough. It appears to have a stronger signal response as well and I can use this phone in places other mobiles have refused to work in. As a pure and simple phone, I will recommend it.

If you want to listen to music, listen to your ipod.. if you want to take a picture, use a feakin camera.. if you want a mobile phone that makes call and sends sms (and fast at typing), has long battery life, excellent display, very fast and responsive software, never freezes or crashes, then get a Nokia 1110. This is the best phone I have ever had. Period. I am a heavy mobile user with over 60mins of call per day, countless sms and have owned various phones in the past including some of high-end models from various manufacturers. Nokia 1110 is truly a revelation. This is a device that is designed to perform what its supposed to do, and it does it with aplomb. It fits its purpose, and it doesn't do anything unecessary features that will only add price, weight, durability, and reliability. In life, you can not have all at once. Same rule applies to electronic devices. Let each devices do its own thing, and let it do its intended purpose with excellence.

I just got it and I'm definitely impressed. I have to mention that I use a phone for calling people and receive the occasional sms. I have other status symbols and I can survive a day at work without listening to music or taking pictures. I also find it rather important not having to carry around a charger just because I happen to sleep over at a friend's house (in fact I won't have to worry about charging for an entire holiday). Monofunctional gadgets will by definition have the superior ease of use because designers don't have to worry about stuffing thousands of useless features into the menu structure. Hence no compromises. Designing products that are easy to use for their intended purpose has nothing to do with morons. Actually I find it pretty moronic having to read a 300 pg. manual just to figure out where to change the order of the menu items. So it might not be a phone for people who need something to impress their peer-group but if you're looking for a hassle free thingie to make phonecalls with the 1110 is the way to go.

For people on a budget (no contract equals peace of mind!) this phone is a excellent buy - superb battery life, coupled with nice polyphonic sound and easy menus. Its a great idea inverting the colour screen - the screen is more defined - something other reviwers think makes worse which I cant understand in my opinion. You would need a high spec colour phone to match the clarity of this 2 coloured phone. Just bought this phone the other day for my mother and even she found it easy to use ahem! almost straight away! Very easy to use and a great improvement on the nokia 1100, it keeps the chunky rubber keypad but has refined the menus and address book. Nice one Nokia, was expecting something very average at the price this was surprisingly not.

I bought this phone for my mother in law basically because it was the very cheapest one around and my mother in law basically just needs a phone to nag people and not much else. :) HOWEVER, after playing around with it for a while I have to admit this is a really brilliant little phone! Don't be fooled by people giving it a low rating; this phone is NOT intended to do everything from play music, shoot pictures to making coffee. THIS, people, is a PHONE! Basically it has the same size screen as basic Nokia phones have had since prehistoric times, the screen does however look very clear and not old-fashioned because it displays bright green on a dark background. Other important features that make this an up-to-date phone is the nice clear sounding (polyphonic) ringtones and T9 predictive text input for fast texting. Plus profiles, distinctive ring, actually it has pretty much ALL the features that were thought of as a 'high end business phone' before big color screens and cameras became the norm. Battery life seems also excellent.. Fancy phones you're pretty much charging every day or every other day, this one just goes on and on.. It's the phone the Duracell bunny would buy. The user interface is updated as well, very responsive and well thought out given the limitations of the small screen. So in summary, for a basic phone, OR for a phone you wouldn't cry over if you lost it in the pub or dropped off a bridge, THIS IS IT!
