It was 5.00 a.m. in the morning, I had gotten up from bed, but was still somehow drunk in my sleep, when my previous phone slipped off from my hand and dropped on the tiled floor. This led to the ending of that phone. From then on, I had started looking for a crash resistant phone, till I got to know of Nokia 1200. Nokia 1200 is a very light phone and it doesn't spoil easily on crash. What will happen at most is that when the phone is old the rubber buttons will come out.

With every day passing by, the cell phone giants are trying to accommodate more and more features into one small gadget. Only a few years back, we were wowed b nokia's first ever video phone which would record a five seconds video and now its hard to imagine a phone without a camera, not to mention gps and high speed data downloads. But all these features come at a price, both in terms of money and portability. There are a lot of people among us who consider all these features as luxuries. And then another group who are too rough for all these fancy phones. Thanks to nokia, who has just the right phone for both these groups. Nokia 1200, its comfortable to hold ...  Read the complete review
