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.

It a very cool new Nokia phone that keeps me entertained.

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.

I was about to buy the Nokia N70 but now I have doubts. Everyone is saying that it is slow. Is it true?
Reviewer: Roselyn - Notts, UK

I have used this phone for 1.5 yrs & I think it is excellent as a phone. NEVER had a problem with it. Not ONE DAY. I am about to get a more sophisticated phone & hope I will enjoy it as I do this one.

IF YOU WANT TO IMPRESS YOUR MATES, THIS IS NOT the PHONE 4 YOU. BUT 4 ME WHO JUST NEEDS TO USE IT AS-'A PHONE' IT'S BRILL, EASY TO USE, BATTERY LIFE IS GREAT, & EVEN THIS OLDER PERSON CAN TEXT ON IT. WELL DONE Nokia.

Nice, easy to use. Had no problems at all with this Nokia.
Reviewer: Shanmugam - Chennai, India
Date: 9th Dec 2006
A good Phone for Messaging & a user friendly phone with a very good battery life. Best mobile for those who own it just as a phone.
Reviewer: George - Romania

Simple & clear. Ugly & practical. I love it! I am tired of phones with camera & symbian & MP3, stuff I don't need.

I would rather buy another dirty bin, than this phone again.
Reviewer: Nadger - Leighton Buzzard, UK

Had one for 5 months. Nice simple basic phone, which is all some of us want. Battery life has been very good & texting easy even for this 71 year old [:¬)

This phone is not the best on the high street, but it is still really good. I fell in love with the design & love all of the features.

The 1101 is a simple phone, but the battery does not last so long.
Reviewer: Keith - Bouvet Island
Date: 13th Sep 2006
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.
Reviewer: Kels - Peterborough, UK

Worst fone I ever brought...
Reviewer: Anom - UK
Date: 3rd Jul 2006
This is a good simple phone. The design is not bad... & its good value for money. It doesn't have the latest features but it will do for a person who justs wants a phone.
Reviewer: Clark Gates - London, UK
Date: 5th Mar 2006
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.
Reviewer: Darrel - UK
Date: 5th Mar 2006
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.
Reviewer: Abbie - Acton - London, UK
Date: 1st Mar 2006
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.
Reviewer: Leon Bowers - UK
Date: 25th Feb 2006
Battery is tops & it is super to use. I really practical & effortless little phone. I picked this phone up & I was off & away with it. It really is that user friendly. No problems so far...
Reviewer: Haley & Stuart - UK

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.
Reviewer: Garry Merryfield - West Ham, UK

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.
Reviewer: Matt - UK

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.
Reviewer: Faye - Barhill, UK
Date: 23rd Jan 2006
Easy phone to operate & the keypad is lovely to use. The menus are very easy to follow & I am enjoying texting all my friends. A lovely low price phone with a very good display.
Reviewer: Todd F - Bolton, UK
Date: 15th Jan 2006
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.
Reviewer: Sarah Quinn - Eston, UK
Date: 8th Jan 2006
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.
Reviewer: K Richards - UK
Date: 29th Dec 2005
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.
