Nokia 1200 Review

The Nokia 1200 is a dependable mobile phone which comes in the form of a classic style handset. The main colour of the handset is silver from the front & dark grey on the reverse. The user can express their individual taste by selecting either a black gloss edging or a bright blue coloured edging. The handset is incredibly user friendly which makes this design popular for those users who want a phone to be a phone & not a highly technical communication device. The Nokia 1200 is a lightweight mobile phone which feels good to hold with its 102mm x 44.1mm x 17.5mm sized casing. The screen provides the user with a black & white display on a LCD screen complete with a green backlight & screen resolution of 96 pixels x 68 pixels. The screen shows a large clock wallpaper which allows the user to check to time easily when the handset is not in use. The keypad comes with well spaced out keys & the keypad is dust resistant which prevents damage to the keypad. The user will find the one touch shortcut key a pleasure to use which allows the user to gain quick access to features including text messages, calendar feature, contacts details, loudspeaker & flashlight. The flashlight feature allows the user to lighten up their environment with a flashlight feature built into their mobile phone.

Nokia 1200, an unacceptable mistake! I've got a Nokia 1200 for 2 days, I restored the factory setting. Then log in the SETTING & PROFILE, personalized the name of the profile MY STYLE & (my name). Then I selected the applications that would appear in the GO TO & return to the main screen. If we log in the Go to & choose any application, the 1200 will automatically shut down & restart. I've tried with 7 phones & things happen in the same way!

I was looking for a simple well featured mobile phone with a long life battery for my mum. The one Nokia 1200 I've found has everything I needed & much more. I love it & I am sure my mum will too :).

Fantastic battery life, even better than the 1100. I was surprised to see that the operating system is a significant re-vamp of the one that's been pretty much unchanged from the early 3310 right through to the recent 1100. I got my phone off eBay as it's not out in the UK yet, & there are some significant bugs in the software which will probably be ironed out by the time it's released officially. Notably that if you're getting a call from an anonymous or withheld number it doesn't display that but rather displays the number of the last person who called you. Also notice it doesn't work with my Nokia 1100 headset which presumably should considering it's the same jack socket. Apart from that I am well pleased with it & highly recommend it to those who just want a reliable call-&-text phone.

This phone is an improvement of its predecessor the Nokia 1100. The construction is not as sturdy as the 1100 but it'll survive a reasonable rough handling. Just don't submerge it underwater because it's not water resistant. The flashlight is much brighter than the 1100 & I am glad that Nokia has added a loudspeaker feature & a calendar. I only wished that Nokia should also have added a voice recorder for those times that the consumer needs to make quick notes using voice dictation method. That's a very handy feature you see.

The phone is small, compact & very easy to use. This is the type of phone best suited to those who prefer a no non sense phone with all those bells & whistles. It is a perfect phone for texting & making & receiving calls.

Overall, I think it is a worthy successor to the old time best selling Nokia 1100.

Really a rock Nokia 'basic phone'! It is just like the reproduction of Nokia 8210 but what better is the long lasting battery life. I don't need to charge it for 4 days with about 10mins conversation every day! However, I am still not happy 1200 doesn't have the traditional 'ring ring' tone as built-in the 8210.

This is what I need, a good battery for texting & calls. Thanks Nokia for a SUPERB phone. The Nokia 1200 is now available in the Philippines (texting capital of the world) & it is slightly expensive than that of the Nokia 1112. Grab one now!
