Nokia 1280

 

As you would expect, this is a fairly basic phone.. but it does come with a surprising number of useful features. There's a monochrome 1.36" 96 x 68 pixel display, an FM radio (requires the purchase of a headset), a built in flashlight, MP3 grade...

Good sound reception, Supe r cheap, Pretty hardy handset, Feather light

None. All expectations met

The cheapest phone in the world. I bought it from Flipkart and have been served well for 1.5 years. For a phone of this pricetag it responds super quick. Comes with a torch, 3 games and a cool FM radio. Just plug in your senheiser earphones and forget...

Good buy

 

Does calls and texts, battery life is excellent (6-7 days standby) thats all i want a phone to do, and it does them very well, black and white screen is good in bright sun, and cheap as chips, what more is there to say, well.... why not leave the games...

Consumer review by:

A simple but special mobile
