Review: Nokia 1200

Nokia 1200 Review

Phone rating:

If you are looking for a really basic, cheap phone with outstanding battery life, then the Nokia 1200 could be the phone for you.

The display incorporates a bright green flashlight that can be used as a torch - a dedicated shortcut key activates the torch.

Not much else to say about this one - good as a child's first phone or as a spare.

• Black and white display with green backlight (96 x 68 pixels)
• Messaging: SMS, picture messaging
• Storage for up to 60 text messages
• Integrated handsfree speaker
• 32-voice polyphonic ringtones with MP3 grade sound
• Three built-in games
• Multiple phonebooks (200 entries each)
• Connectivity: 2.5 mm headset connection
• Memory: 4 Mbytes
• Dual band
• Size: 102 x 44 x 18 mm
• Weight: 77g
• Talktime: up to 7 hours

I once had this phone and i hated it.it always had errors and viruses and i had to throw it away later on [Editor's comment: This phone has no internet capability, so it's hard to believe that it could have a virus!]

This phone is quite smaller and lighter than other nokia cellphones of same category like Nokia 1110. NOkia 1101 and other and ofcourse with a very good flash. The only problem which i face is it sometimes crashes while sending texts, i mean it restarts by itself.
