I may be 25 but all I need is a phone that makes calls, sends & receives texts & has good battery life. This phone is great. It's simple & easy to use. A must for anyone you just wants a phone to do what phones are supposed to do, make calls. I have an MP3 player for music & a camera for taking pictures so why would I need a phone that does all this as well.
Thank you Nokia, at last the perfect phone!

Its keypad is totally strange & the phone is too heavy.

Guys It's a £20 quid phone do you expect it to have an FM radio. It's a great first phone or a great phone for for older users.
Overall it's great & only £20. You have got t o have one!
Reviewer: Paul - York, UK

It's billed as NOT having FM. Therefore NOT having FM is a feature NOT a negative despite what a lot of reviewers here think. I wanted a phone to make phone calls not to listen to the radio, play music, play games, take pictures (I have something for that, it's called a camera) or surf the web (my iMac does that exceedingly well thank you). This phone does everything I wanted it to, I can make & answer calls & read & write texts. Brilliant!

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR ONLY £9.99. A very good buy for the money & worth your money back if you want to trade it in elsewhere.

It's a good phone but you can't have such high expectations from a phone this cheap.

Oh! I think 1208 is the best for students & workers too! I bought 1208 last Feb 06 it's cute & very affordable. It has long battery life & while texting the font is cute & the keypad too!
Reviewer: Jonathan Eugenio - Bustos, Bulacan, Philippines

I bought it only today, Feb 8, 2008 for the reason that I need to replace my old Smart amazing phone 2002. I read lots of good reviews for this phone & want to give it a try. It's not the usual 4 to 5-liner phone that I have used before but I am familiar with using the Classic Motorola GSM phones. Some of its features were copied from that. I have no problem with that. The only thing I noticed about this Nokia 1208 is the font features. It has SMALL & LARGE fonts to fit the users need especially those who have problems with their eyes. WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO SWICH BETWEEN the TWO FONT SIZES, IT DOESN'T WORK. I RETURN IT TO the STORE the VERY SAME DAY.I TRIED TO REPLACED the SAID UNIT BUT TO MY DISMAY, 10 OUT OF 10 UNITS HAVE the SAME PROBLEM. The BOX SAYS IT MADE IN INDIA. IF SOMEBODY FROM the Nokia COMPANY READ MY WRITE UP, KINDLY SHED LIGHT ON THIS PLEASE? ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO? IF I WILL HAVE IT REPROGRAMMED, WILL IT SOLVE MY PROBLEM? But generally, it is a basic phone that one should have. My verdict? IT IS A GOOD BASIC PHONE WITH the BASIC PHONE FEATURES-SLEEK, LIGHT, & USER-FRIENDLY.

No FM radio, it's a shame.
Reviewer: Syed Faruq Ahmed Shah - Pakistan

Reviewer: Godfrey Pasape - Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

It's nice phone, really it is but the absence of FM I think you need to make some modification on that. I like it.
Reviewer: M Iqbal - Ledi, India
Date: 19th Jan 2008
IT IS A VERY GOOD PHONE.BATTERY BACKUP IS VERY HIGH BUT ABSENSE OF FM IS A NEGETIVE POINT.YET I REALLY LIKE IT.
Reviewer: Suresh Jack - Tamil Nadu, India

Nice look, easy to use, but no FM.
Reviewer: Ajo Johannes - Bandung, Indonesia

What you really need is in this phone, simple & easy!
Reviewer: Harpal Singh - Amritsar, India
Date: 10th Jan 2008
Nice phone with torch facility & best battery backup, but absence of FM is a negative point.
Reviewer: Sam - Pakistan
Date: 10th Jan 2008
Yup, very nice look, better than Nokia 1200, as it has colored screen & games.
Reviewer: Oandie - Jakarta, Indonesia
Date: 9th Jan 2008
Cheap, nice & easy handling. If what you need is really just call & sms, go grab one of these 1208's. Any needs beyond that, grab something else starting at twice the price.
Reviewer: Nicko - Quezon City, Philippines
Date: 6th Jan 2008
Simple basic phone that does the job! It has a very long battery time that lets me call & SMS all day long. It is also very user friendly. Also, its keypad lock feature is very helpful in keeping my messages private. Good phone, if not the best.
Reviewer: Shoaib - Gujranwala, Pakistan

This is good for all, but it has no FM.
Reviewer: Razzi Haider - D I Khan, Pakistan

This is my first mobile phone in life, I have bought it today, even in its minimal price it offers great features with respect to its price it offers even more than other sets, that's why I preferred to buy this model.
Reviewer: Terry - UK

Should you buy the Nokia 1208?
Yes, this is a great phone, never had a problem.
Reviewer: Stephen Macdonald - UK
Date: 29th Nov 2007
I got this as a basic phone to make calls & send text. It is small & light & the battery lasts a long time, the simplified menu is excellent for making calls & texts. Nokia has taken previous designs of phones like 1110i & refined it & added the colour screen without losing standby time. Brilliant little basic phone!
Reviewer: Trausan Lucian - Burriana, Spain

Good mobile handset, Ringtones are good.
Reviewer: Haseeb - Peshawar, Pakistan

Dear friends, actually I have not used both 1200 & 1208 but I heard a lot good about 1200 on the net, both 1200 & 1208 look the same well I would go for 1208 because it has a colour screen that's whereas 1200 has not, I think the other features are the same.
