An adequate basic phone

With the market saturated with iPhone wannabes, its comforting to note that major mobile manufacturers like Nokia have not forgotten an important demographic: the basic phone segment. There is still a substantial demand for these simple no-nonsense handsets.
Pros:
  • 1) Basic but sleek design
  • 2) Minimalist look and feel for those who want it
  • 3) FM radio compatible with 3.5" headphones
  • 4) FM sound on loudspeaker mode is excellent
  • 5) Adequate battery life
  • 6) Flashlight (torch)
Cons:
  • 1) Some menus are very counter intuitive
  • 2) Alerts aren't loud enough
  • 3) Voice calls sound tinny and plasticky
  • 4) Saves a copy of your sent SMS (thinks its a Sony Ericsson)

I forgot to write: 1) Some people wrote that the call quality is bad. Not at all! When I talk with other people on that phone, i hear them well and they hear me well too. 2) "Voice leakage from the back side" - true, but not so bad.
Pros:
  • See my earlier comment
Cons:

I already have a three years contract with Telus with my iPhone but the talk plan is not great enough for me to use in day time minutes, and I have to pay a lot extra money for my over talk minutes and my contract still have...

modestly priced and without all the annoying features I don't want!

{Probably perfect for that family member who doesn't want a complicated phone. Easily navigated, large buttons, and a clear window display....perfect! It seems to last forever on a single battery charge.

Nokia 1616

One month back I bought a Nokia 1616 mobile handset on suggestion of the retailer. This is low priced entry level colored mobile. The features it offers justify its price of Rs 1350. Basically it is value buy. It is worth the price. The biggest surprise of this handset is its audio sound quality.
