Advantages: A lot of features at a very low price

Disadvantages: Prone to faults - particularly switching itself off

My review on the Nokia 2600 classic is on the phone itself, not which network.

I bought mine from Tesco, and it was on their network dark in colour, back in August 2008.

It offered a range of standard features and could link to the internet although quite slowly and had a very basic camera with fm radio buit in, so you needed headphones to use it.

For texting it was pretty good and I loved the emoticon pictures that were standard - unlike my current one which takes me ages to work out.

I do mention this phone in the past sense as despite having to be repaired (like many others of this model) and being returned it is definitely relegated to the spare category for emergencies when our others breakdown.

I had a number of issues with my phone, the phone kept switching off despite being fully charged, and quite often I'd have a blank display even though the phone was on.

Certainly it is light, but it is prone to faults - I couldn't believe it but when I last went in to my local Tesco and told them I had a fault, the first thing they said was "Is it a Nokia".

I had the impression that Nokia phones were solid and reliable, but I don't anymore and find my LG much more impressive.

When I bought my phone it was approximately £30 with a £10 top up included. I did look on Tescos website to see if it was worth recycling it - but despite other sites offering aroung £15, Tesco do not even list it - are they telling me something?

Summary: I used to like Nokia phone, but I can't recommend this under any circumstance
