Good day guys!
Yes, so I bought my Nokia 1280 couple days ago for $39 at the warehouse, & love it!
I am a big fan of mobile phones, I have owned phones that have pretty much everything like my good old LG KU990 VIEWTY, & my daily Nokia X2-01.
But now that I see a lot of people buying & using Android phones, thought I'd bring back the classic Nokia!
I love it for what it is. It aint much, but does the job & on the plus side, it has an FM radio & a 3.5mm head jack! You can plug any headphones or earphones you like :)
This is actually my 3rd black & white phone, my first one was a Nokia 3310, then I recently bought a Nokia 1202, last year, exactly the same as my 1280, but different design. But then I misplaced it somewhere: D
You might also notice the ratings I gave this phone, well yeah they're all 90 plus percent, & that's because for a 40 dollar phone, it does it pretty well. Cheap as Chips!
Only thing I don't personally like about this phone is its ruggedness look, keypad itself. Compared to the 1202 has a much classier look. But hey, it's a good phone for texting, keypad is easy as to press. Can't complain!
& yeah, so far so good :) Nokia reliability too :)
Thanks everyone :)

I've had my Nokia 1280 for about 3 weeks now & I've switched back to my old reliable Nokia 2100. If you plug in a hands-free earpiece (genuine Nokia, or not! ) again, it isn't loud enough (even at full volume!) so you can't hear the other person you're trying to talk to. The design of the phone is excellent & I can't fault Nokia for that. I just wish somebody at Nokia had taken the time to actually use it in the real world before putting out to market. What could have been a fantastic phone, unfortunately disappoints, which is a real shame.
