Nokia 1100

This in my opinion is one of the last classic Nokia's; it's a phone which does just that. No messing about with camera(s), mp3 players, colour screens, or anything else to distract from its core use. Admittedly nowadays people would laugh at this seemingly lacking device, although in fact that this is essentially what most people use from their mobiles most of the time. You don't have a cooker that also cleans the dishes, so why should a phone be any different? It is clear that this phone isn't meant for people who expect everything from a little device, so this concentrates on just a few core features. Calling is very simple; it has the traditional Nokia ...  Read the complete review

A Friend in Need, A Friend Indeed ~ The Story behing my phone ~ Looking at this phone in DooYoo's listing brought me back to the year 2005. It was end of January, and I was coordinating a group of volunteers in Aceh after the Tsunami. We opened a small clinic near the town centre, complemented with a mobile team of doctors and paramedics that would go to remote places responding to the info we got. So the need to communicate between us is great, beside the usual call to the head-office in Jakarta. At that time, the communication networks were still in poor condition because most of the infrastructures were badly damaged. The team before ...  Read the complete review

This is a great phone… if you just want a phone. It has no fancy gizmos, no pictures, and no music. It makes phone calls and sends texts, but that's about it. To look at, it's a pretty standard Nokia. It can have a variety of coloured covers (including blue, pink, red, green and yellow) but mine is the boring grey and black one. This phone is pretty small, at only 106mm x 46mm x 20mm, and weighing 86g. The front of the phone has a small (black and white) screen with the standard phone keys underneath. There is a button with a red dot, to turn the phone on and off, a big "menu" key in the middle, the "cancel" key and the ...  Read the complete review

Remember the 3210? Yes probably the most popular phone of all time, long befoe the advent of WAP, Camera Phones, Bluetooth, Color Screens, poly tones etc. Well in 2004, Nokia brought us the 1100. All it is a slimmed down Nokia 3210, that phone is over 5 years old. Why on earth would we want to part with £40 for a phone we all had years ago? Monotone screen, beepy ringtones, Snake game you know the drill, pretty much nothing to endear the phone to you. Now there are simple phones and then there is 1100. Its so basic its unbelievable. You would expect at the least a colour screen but not with this phone. A simple to use phone ...  Read the complete review

Wow, this mobile phone is nuts! I left it in my pocket of my jeans which I then put in the washing machine! It survived without ruining it's functioning! I was kind of hoping that it wouldn't survive, because I really wanted to get a better looking phone. I guess I'm stuck with my old faithful Nokia 1100! '~'~'~'~'~Appearance'~'~'~'~ It's not a good-looking mobile phone at all. This Nokia is very basic and functional, the keypad and buttons are all made of rubber making it very easy to text with. The colours are dodgy and the phone isn't thin. However, you'll probably love it if you're over 50! The Nokia 1100 is a bar/brick phone, meaning that if ...  Read the complete review
