Nokia 1616

To answer the question posed in the opening paragraph, the amount of mobile phone you get for AU$29 isn't a great deal, but it does perform the basics admirably.

Nokia 1616

It is a shi@ty phone (sorry for my French) but I can only use it for texting. I hear people well but no one can ever hear me, so I am so sick of my phone. People even stopped calling me a long time ago because phone conversations are a disaster.
Pros:

Pathetic Phone

I purchased this phone in Jan'11 and now I have realized that this is the most pathetic phone I ever had in my life. Network connectivity is not good. One of its major drawback is its sound.
