Great simple phone for most of your needs. The buttons are the biggest I've ever seen which makes texting a doddle if you have man sized fingers. No camera but who wants to take grainy pictures you do little with anyway, that's what my digital camera was bought for.

PS, the calculator is brilliant following on from an earlier comment, more features than ever before or just use the star key for plus & minus etc for speed.

I was offered the latest Samsung, smart mirror faced phone, but after one week I had slung it in the back of the drawer! Fortunately read the peace of mind refund & went back after 12 days at got a Nokia. I have been with Nokia phone for seven years, nothing will entice me away again. I do not need a camera, have a really slick one that works beautifully with my computer, I just wanted a phone I understood, Apparently Nokia patented all the features all that time ago, so I will never find a phone that suits me like it does. Sometimes you just need to stick with what you have got & enjoy! Not mad on the grey, but it's the only compromise in my view.

This phone was provided by my employer & in 2 months I am on my second one. Both myself & colleagues who have the same model are having great difficulty using the blue tooth provided. We all sound like Norman Collier when on the move! I have been told that there isn't a fixed hard wired hands free kit which is compatible either so I am reduced to communicating via speckled Jim, the pigeon.

Like the phone but the only downside is that in ext edit mode there is a very iterating dark background which makes the cursor invisible. Also finding the calculator is a trial. Otherwise not too bad but would recommend it for frequent texter's.

This phone is slim, light & easy to use, with nice big buttons & most things that are needed for a basic work phone (organiser, Bluetooth, good battery life).It would have been nice if it had a camera but this was provided by work so I didn't get a choice (the next model up has one, Nokia3110), as you could use it for insurance claims if you're in a car accident, I keep a cheapo digital camera in my car just in case.

This handy phone is easy to use & features a very clear screen which is a good size. The different options available on this phone are simple to use & you will quickly come to enjoy this reliable phone.

It features Bluetooth & a decent Media Player. This makes it ideal for use in the car & allows you to stay legal with a decent headset. I recommend this phone to anyone who wants a reliable phone with no silly bells & whistles.

Well Done Nokia.

Not a top of the range phone, but very slim, very smart. Will do everything 90% of users require. Glad I bought it. Easy to use. Another winner for Nokia on this mid range phone. You won't be disappointed!

Really, really good product for those who wish to get a basic, down-to-earth phone, that doesn't give you hassle. The best thing is no camera, to ensure lots & lots of speed when wanting to carry out a process. Only down side is that it is thin & slim compared to my N80 (which is atrocious), so I don't know when it's in my pocket all the time=headache!

Top phone!
