Nokia 1101 Review

The Nokia 1101 is a very compact, light & small mobile phone which comes in a very stylish silver coloured casing that is very attractive & has soft grips situated at the sides of the phone. The Nokia 1101 is very similar in design to the Nokia 1100 as they both have the same shape casing & easy grip covered casing. The Nokia 1100 comes with the added feature of flashing lights display. The keypad on the 1101 is very user friendly & the keys are larger than a standard mobile phones keypad. The menus on the 1101 are very easy for the user to follow & use.

The phone comes with a illuminated black & white screen (96 x 65 pixels) which is great for displaying all of the users text messages & games.

The Nokia 1101 comes complete with great messaging services which include picture messaging, text messaging (SMS) & SMS chat. The picture messaging allows the user to send a picture greeting to any compatible mobile phone. The text messaging service allows the user to send a text message with the help of an input method feature & the added option of long text messaging. SMS chat allows the user to have a quick chat with other compatible SMS chat users which are connected at the same time.

The Nokia 1101 comes with ringtones embedded which include the Nokia tune & thirty five monophonic buzzer style tones. The user can create a totally unique ringtone by using the composer feature which is very simple to use if the user is feeling a little creative.

The WAP push feature allows the user to subscribe to daily services which include weather warnings, sports results & traffic reports which can be sent automatically to the Nokia 1101.

The phone comes with dual band technology which offers the user good network coverage & the user has the benefit of a WAP 1.1 browser. The user can receive a URL address from an SMS message.

The phone comes with some great dialing feature which include speed dialing for up to nine contacts, last number redial from dialed calls list & automatic redial up to ten attempts.

Well, I've had this phone for what 3 years now? Maybe more. This phone can take a beating, if your ever bored try using it as a ball for tennis or golf. It won't break. I love it.

This phone is great. After 1.5 years of using it, it is hard to give up. I got pushed into a pool with it in my pocket, & nothing happened. This is a great all around phone. It is great if you don't need all the features of the new phones.

This is by far the sturdiest, most reliable phone I've had to date. I bought it when I was living in London & wish that I could use it here in the States. It's so slim & simple! Most phones these days go for gadgets so the quality of the phone as a communication device is not as important. This phone has obviously got all the money in the right place-to make it a phone.

Good phone for the money, easy to use & the battery lasts for ages probably due to the phones lack of features, my wife has one which she uses as needed & she loves it, it texts, makes calls & she uses it aboard, what more could want from a cheap reliable phone that spends 99% of its life stuck in a handbag.

Well where shall I start.... This is really reliable phone which may not be the most attractive looking phone but it isn't all that bad looking really. It is so simple to use & I feel that I have got real value for money with this mobile phone. I got it cheap on pay as you go & I prefer PAYG as I wont be surprised with a big bill every month. This phone may not be everybody's cup of tea as it doesn't come with many features but as a phone it is very usable & reliable.

Simple phone & lacks many features. Would not suit me as I like having a camera & video on my mobile phones. This phone looks very basic & is a very average looking. The best part of this phone would have to be the keys as they are very tactile & the most user friendly keys I have come across.

Nice mobile phone & I am over the moon with it. I must admit my first impression of this phone was that it may be a little too basic looking but the price was amazing & I would not use any more features so therefore it was the one I purchased. It is good enough for me & easy to use.

1101 is good for making calls & sending text messages but that is where the excitement ends. My partner has this phone & he has nothing negative to say about it but he only uses the phone for approximately 15 calls per week. 1101 is a good looking phone which is a good size & weight. The battery is very good although it is almost always in constant standby. Apparently the best bit about this phone is the feel of it & he says it feels great to use in his hand. All in all not a bad value for money mobile phone.

The 1101 is a good phone for all of us that are the less demanding type of mobile phone users. It has all the added features that we need to make calls & text friends. I have had this phone for over two months now & I am very pleased with it, although my wife laughs & calls it a "bog standard phone". I am very surprised at how clear the display is & it is visible in almost any lighting condition which is better than previous phones I have had & better than my wife's over priced & over specified mobile phone. A happy 1101 customer. Happy to be a Nokia customer for life.

A phone without a camera, MP3, video recorder, 3G, Bluetooth, WAP & FM radio. I am surprised that there is such a demand for this type of phone but there is & I think it is because people are slightly scared of all the recent technology. I like Nokia phones but would prefer all the extras that come on the latest phones. This would be a good starter phone or even a good standby phone in case your top of the range phone breaks.

I am having trouble with poor signal in most areas which I can not blamed on the network provider as I have used the same provider for all of my phones. The call clarity is also causing me a concern as I am unable to hear the majority of my callers when receiving an incoming call. The clarity is a little better when making an outgoing call but not as clear as my last phone, which may I add was a Motorola. I was recommended by several people that Nokia mobile phones were the most reliable phones but I do not agree. I feel that this is a reasonable phone but I have got a faulty one or they are generally poor quality.

The 1101 is a very hardy mobile & can stand some hard knocks & bumps. I have dropped this phone heaps of times & I have even thrown it across a room & it works perfectly well after being totally battered & mistreated. Would love a camera on the phone but I think that this is the perfect phone for me as it is so hard wearing & a tough cookie.

My mate has this phone & wont stop going on about it being so cheap & reliable but it is too basic for me. It can text, call people & has a ok but basic handset cover. The grips on the cover are a very good idea but that is all that I like on it. My mate thinks it the best so I wont be too hard on this one.
