If you genuinely want a phone just for calls and texts, this is perfect. Simply pick one up for less than twenty quid, get a SIM and away you go. The beauty of this phone is that it has all you would expect of a basic Nokia, and no more. The menu and call system is easy to read and so intuitive that the manual will go untouched. Indeed, I find it simpler to put a dialled number in my address book, or to insert a phone number into a text, than on my Blackberry. However, although it is basic, it does not feel mean: the screen is in colour and you can associate little graphics with your contacts, so you can see at a glance who's calling. ...  Read the complete review

I brought this phone wanted something simple, and easy to use. Its not that large and only weights about 80 grams. I think Nokia had a design brief to make this a phone not a camera and phone just a phone. You can get it in a range of colours if you change the case but it always would have the word "nokia" on the back. I have a case on mine so you can not see the Nokia logo. This phone has no camera no internet no advanced gagets as we would call them now a days. it has spongy buttons and its one of the easiest phones to use. It has speaker phone and alarm and three games called snakes, 'bounce' and nature park. ...  Read the complete review

I brought this phone for my nan about three months ago. She had never owned a mobile phone before, and wanted something simple, and easy to use. I had a look at many phones, before I decided on this one, as I didn't want to get her one that had too many features, and be too confusing for her to use. I also wanted to get her something reliable, and Nokia has been around ages, so I was glad when I spotted this one. This phone has been great for just for that. It does what a phone is suppose to do, call and text! She has been very happy with it. I have used it a fair few times too, and it is a great little phone, although very basic. It is about 10cms ...  Read the complete review

I bought this phone for £15, including £10 free top-up with Tesco mobile (bought in store at Tesco). I guess, taking off the cost of the credit, the phone itself was around £5, which is a truly amazing deal. I have had this phone for over a year now, with no problems and managed to get it unlocked for free by calling up. I am now with Orange and everything works fine. To sum up, this phone is your basic, 'make-a-call' phone. No fancy extras- just text and call. You have a couple of games on it, including the (now retro?) Snake Xenzia, Nature Park and Rapid Roll. These are quite good games actually and if you're the right person, they can be pretty ...  Read the complete review

When my trusty four year old Samsung finally gave up the ghost it was rather inconvenient as my current contract still had six weeks to run so I got this Nokia 1208 from Amazon as a sim free unlocked option to tide me over until the new year and my upgrade. I paid £22 for it on Amazon and I have to say as a short term backup phone it has been ideal. Compared with current phones it is really basic with few features but I wanted cheap and reliablke and that is what you get. It is a small black phone with a small colour screen. The call quality is excellent with good sound on it and the calls I have made and received have been really clear and audible, ...  Read the complete review
