Nokia 1200

Filed under: Nokia Review, Popular Phones — admin @ 11:42 AM

Nokia has released a cheap budget phone; a phone that could have been competitive with products from other manufacturers. This phone is made for older people, being conservative consumers. This means the sort of people who will buy a phone once, holding on to it as long as it works. This phone is for people with average or slightly less income in other words. Hence this model can’t be considered as massive, it’s a close circle targeted phone.
As you would expect, there’s nothing particularly striking about the 1200’s design — it’s simply built to be practical. For example, Nokia has opted for a type of all-in-one keypad mat, rather than individual keys, to stop dirt and dust from building up under the keys.
Sending text messages is a piece of cake and the call quality is also superb, delivering crisp and clean speech. The phone does a great job of holding on to a signal, even in areas where the coverage is patchy, and the built-in speakerphone is clear and loud. But the real show-stopper is the battery life. The 1200 will give you a mammoth 7 hours of talk time and will keep ticking over on standby for well over two weeks.
Nokia has also added a few tools to help you keep tabs on how much you’re spending on your calls and text. In the menus you’ll find both a call duration timer and a message counter. The only other real extra is the LED light nestled at the top of the phone which can be turned on and off from the phone’s flashlight menu.
Although the mono screen is very easy to read, it’s also very small and has a low resolution. As a result, it can only show three lines of text or around nine words at any one time. This means you do have to do a fair amount of scrolling to read longer text messages.
Nokia 1200 doesn’t have a built-in FM radio and doesn’t come with a handsfree kit. It also lacks support for Bluetooth, so you won’t be able to use it with a wireless headset or car kit.
The 1200 is obviously not a mass-market handset. It’s aimed at those who just want a basic phone that’s easy to use and has good battery life.
