Nokia 1101 - User Reviews

  • My choice Very good

  • Space Impact+

  • My very first phone :) I liked it

  • I still have my Nokia 1101. It looks a bit tatty but still works perfectly. It fell over 30 feet and did not break. Not a dent. It is invincible and I love it. It is always with me because even with the original battery it retains a charge for what seems forever. Smartphones come and go and always seem to break and/or go on low batt too often, but not this baby. There will be no divorce. We renew our vows! :0)

  • Good old days my very first phone, wear it around my neck like a neck less, feeling very proud of owning a phone around my friends.

  • very good mobile I buy this phone Please help me

  • Best phone forever....it remember those golden days

  • Still remember those golden days of 1108 november 2005 similar to this phone when my father purchased the mobile with a 1000 rs simcard for the first time .Probably this was our first mobile phone of our family. I was doing schooling that time still remember those days when i used to play space impact and snake 2 games hearing polyphonoc ringtones...Nostalic moments of my life.Still when i think about this phone i get a spl happiness now i have a smart phone which i buyed in my earnings still which cant give me happiness that nokia 1108 gave.Its because probably it was the first & best fone of my life and those days were happier too.Now sad part is that both my father and mobile fone are nomore.Missing my father And Our Nokia 1108 a lot....Wish those days could come again

  • Good phone good battery; very very good phone

  • Good phone good battery; very very good phone

  • Elephantgirl When i was a kid there was no such thing as mobile phones, no such thing as Iphones or Androids or whatever. What you have there is a top of the range Mobile in it's day. Small, compact, and does exactly what is wanted of a Mobile so suck it up, and it maybe what your parents can afford. Oh! , and i still use one today, that is a testament of this neat little phone, built to last. Have a nice day!

  • Its is 2016... I am 12.. All my friends have iPhones and Iam stuck with this piece of crap!!!

  • my life fast fone

  • Yesterday I got my old 1101 back. I had bought the phone sometime back in 2005. Used it for till 2010 (along with my BB). One of my cousins kept it as his 2nd phone till yesterday, when I gave him another one. It felt great to have it back. Bought a new BL5C battery and a body case. I find it impossible to add my entire contact list (800+), but still I just luv this phone. Undoubtedly THE BEST PHONE MADE BY NOKIA.

  • its nokia 1101

  • I had also That Phone,,, U Guys no Beleave,, one day i going on Mah Office and i was on the 2 nd floor on mah palace then that phone drop my Mistake to the Grounfloor,,, n i was think the phone Broke,, then i go to the Ground floor and checked tha Mob,, is worked ,, Amezing, just like Rock

  • i have an iphone, but still using with my 7 years old nokia 1100

  • nokia asha 300 is a very good phone . i ve been using this fr 7 months and there is no problem the keypad is also very good

  • The best phone I have had neither the iphone nothing compares more faithful than this nokia

  • I've had this phone since 2006 and it's still working perfectly. I'v heard of keypad problems with more recent Nokia phones but not this one. Does anyone know anything abour the keypad quality of tha Nokia Asha 300 or the Nokia C3-01, both of which I am considering as a replacement for the Nokia 1101. AJM.

  • Screen problems all of a sudden with this model. The phone does not go off but nothing is posted on the sreen making it virtually useless. it is a pity since all the info on it gets lost.

  • This phone is one of the most toughest cellphones ever and very dedicated and a long survivor is still have one in-spite of all the other phones i had i never throw this one away and it's still here today 2012.I really believe that this phone should continue and the parts be continued for those that still confide in theirs.Tough durable phones like this should still be sold and on the market but a cheaper rate.

  • 300/24 = 12.5 so it's a good estimate

  • I had this phone and 300 h standby time is wrong about it . I used to charge it every 13 days.

  • the best mob phne i use in my life, and i would say the best mobile phne manufactured by nokia,,,,,,!!!! keep it up,,,

  • dis is my fast hendset i love this..

  • hey guys i need this hand sat if possible please arrange for me

  • Wish i have this phone! hope theyre selling it here in Antartica...

  • Superb phone by Nokia . They have no other model like this . So simple , hard like a rock . I love it

  • it is very good moblie iam using from 2 years

  • still got this phone...used for 7 years and still in good and perfect condition...old nokia phones were more better than those produced now...

  • The most solid phone on earth Unbreakable Good for those who loves simplicity in mobile phones and wants a strong and long lasting phone

  • nice phone by nokia!! plz relaunch this phone

  • ok

  • I have been using the Nokia 1108 (similar to the Nokia 1101 but with a flashlight)since Dec 2005. Excellent entry level phone, still going strong. Has withstood shock impacts after falling from the table. Simply an INCREDIBLE phone from the Nokia stable. Like they say "Lambi race ka ghoda" meaning 'A horse that can last the long distance race'. Nokia's current phones should have the 'sturdiness' of this phone.

  • thats true,thats what make me to be a fan of nokia,Nokia 1101 is wow phone i like the colour ,the style

  • All one needs in a basic phone is reliability. Still using it. Have forgotten how many years ago I bought it. Because of the 1101 my next phone will be a Nokia.

  • the flashlight is perfect

  • veryy

  • Best phone of all time, the flashlight and snakeII was everything you needed on a phone. It was very confortable to write sms and had a very quick response. If nokia made a newer identical version adding only music capability and a decent camera it would be perfect.

  • was the best phonee everr i had it for 5 years last ai changed it for a lg i went 6 months...this waszz en iss still the best phonee ever made

  • awesome phone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Color displays suck when the sun shines...

  • yeah best phone ever

  • This is the best phone ever manufactured... using it from past 6 years and still working.. nothing to compare to this mobile... awesome phone.. good job nokia

  • -Durable -Light -Good signal -Long lasting battery -SIMPLE!!! -Cheap This are the pros I can think for this phone, and i have been using it for 4 years...

  • i am using this phone for last six years...simply it is great and dependable...love this set..

  • The Greatest Phone in the last 10 years!

  • This phone will go down in history as one of those "immortal" phones, a phone that has been immoralisted in the minds of many mobile phone users and enthusiasts like myself. It's an incredible phone: simple, durable and stylish. One of my students forgot his phone on the tennis court (this model) and for the whole week it was raining like hell. When he retrieved it he thought that it would have been broken but no, it was still intact. INCREDIBLE!

  • Never had a problem, it's my standby phone which I am using at the moment as my Nokia 6300 has given up.\it has been excellent value.

  • Actually i never knew there's so many problems that can happen to a phone coz my 1101 had been so perfect!

  • Simply reliable. If the microphone didnt stuff up (well it served me for numerous teenage years!) i would be using it forever. Awesome battery life as well!

  • the best phoe that i have ever used and i have been using this phone for about 6 years without any damage or fault

  • Excellent phone. Have had one for several years and I am now getting a new one... that is, a new Nokia 1101! None of that nonsense like cameras, e-mail, etc. I just want to be able to make CALLS with my PHONE!

  • user friendly..

  • I could say that this phone is an exelent one for those that just want to talk! it handels shocks very well and has a good lasting batery pack

  • its ok i like it but its old and outdated. there are a lot better phones. and its not in color:(

  • its simply the best best best ph ever i have. i still use nokia 1101. dats simply THE BEST.

  • Hi! its correct, this a very excellent celular phone.

  • It's good phone.

  • Nokia had done well with that model. We just have to go with changes, that's why we are just forgotten about 111o

  • is it possible to install camera on this phone? dont get me wrong cause im asking this because i have been using this phone seence 2000 and i cant change it now

  • Nokia should re-release this handset [231]

  • BEST phone EVER. WTH did they discontinue it? Now I have to pay more for something that I dont want, with a battery that lasts less, brakes easily and without lantern :/

  • You can't be serious.. Did you see the price tag? How on Earth can a low-end mobile phone have 3G? This one has something some 3G phone lack... battery life ;)

  • i am very much convinced of the perfection of this model...i want to have one as a back up phone.. does this one still have a brand new unit from authorized dealers?

  • Another perfection by Nokia..!! A re-frabricated BRICK!!! What the hell? When will Nokia stop making clones of it's own phone?

  • is this cell got 3g??

  • Sorry I can't help you but my phone is also cutting out. It started a few months ago (after years of excellent service) and is now at the point where I am considering getting a new phone. I hope you find a solution.

  • After years of great service my phone now drops out regularly. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions on how it can be fixed?

  • simply the best.very nice for texting

  • another of nokias cheap but reliable phones easy to use and as strong as a brick

  • 100% reliable,worth,value for money......and wat do u want more........keypad is cool making sms quite comfortable.....battery backup is awesome lasting 6days...its great............ guys check it out......... thanx

  • yup..this phne is so great!! congrats 2 nokia coz managed 2 creat thid phne..love it!! 4 sure it won't let u down!! thx nokia...

  • The strongest most reliable easiest to use phone i have ever had. up to 6/7 days battery life, only weakness is the battery can fall out when you drop it on a hard floor. then you have to reset the time/date. I love it, and have yet to see a more practical phone on the market.

  • Fabulous phone for basic communication needs. Texting is a breeze with this phone and call quality is fine. You've got reminders, countdown timer, stopwatch, torch. and the delivery reports system in the phone is excellent. Screen visibility in sunlight is fine, no problems in that regard. The battery will last for approximately 5-6 days with average usage so no complaints there. Overall fantastic phone for basic needs. Well done Nokia.

  • I have used this as my works phone in the UK on a daily basis for the last 3 years. It is 100% reliable, simple and intuitive to use, and slips easily into your pocket. It has never let me down, I've dropped it on hard floors a few times and it's built like a rock. No camera, no bluetooth, black and white screen, zero for bling-factor, 10/10 for being a solid little workhorse that just keeps on going and going. Oh, and if you press the Cancel button it has a torch!

  • I am being extremely honest, and extremely serious. This is one of Nokia's STRONGEST, most durable phones. It might not have a lot of features, it might be cheap, but it can last you a pretty long time. No matter how many times you may literally drop this phone, when you pick it up, you won't have to wonder if it is still working. Myself and MANY ppl that I know have had our own experiences with this phone and they can testify to what I type here.

  • i m first time seeing this model

  • is this handset available now...?

  • Man...if it were Quad Band, I would get it.

  • Nokia should re-release this handset.......... I love u Nokia............

  • Nokia should re-release this handset.......... I love u Nokia............

  • are they still selling this type of phone. i am interested in buying one. are there any websites that someone can refer me to thx

  • looks like my tv remote

  • Tis a very durable fone ever! im seeing almost everyone using it as a backup fone.. i even got one. i throwed it in the floor almost 4 times, its battery got bumped but it's still alive haha

  • I highly recommend this phone to anybody who just wants to call and text people. It is sturdy and longlasting. It has never broken down and the battery life is long. I bought it as a back up and now use it as my regular phone. People laugh when they see it but it has lasted at least 4 years without ever dying on me.

  • They don't make 'em like they used to. This phone is built to last and the battery life is about 4 times longer than in the spec list above. Great back up phone! Although difficult to go back to smsing without T9.

  • dis fone dont go on the internet dis is a cheap fone

  • dis pone is big

  • dudes...this is a very nice phone....ist the phone...you realy can talk with...if someone wants more..buy...it...:P

  • Actually, this phone pretty much sucks. It doesn't detect SIM card all the time, it has only two colors and if I go to Internet with this, pictures are black and have some white dots on it. I got this phone after my previous one got stolen or lost, but I got a new one, Nokia e50 and THAT's what I call a mobile phone.

  • The best phone I ever had in my hands. Not only in nokia phones, but all others brands. Really simply and functional. It�s made from Steel. Crashes, Smashes, Water, Sun expose... It never failed me. Want a camera, buy one, want to hear music, buy an mp3 player... Want to talk and send sms and never ever worry about nothing? This is "The Phone"

  • this is a great phone talk time-5 day , non-talk time 9-days non-exagerate,all people thinks is a great phone but if one of processors is broken to buy this is cost over the phone!!!! but this phone is ok !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is a great phone!I got it after my expensive phone fell out of my pocket on a roller coaster, but I like this phone just the same. It has great basic functions, an it even has my favorite game: snake

  • It is the ever-best phone I've ever in ma life. My brother gave me Sony Ericsson w700i, and then my younger brother gave me Nokia 6020. But I didn't accpet their offer. It is a remarkable,outstanding phone for sms. I am an SMS freak. I could hardly find any phone having keypad like this. Further, its whitish/bluish light is more attractive,rather seductive than 1100 and phones like that. I would prefer it for anyone who is simple and efficient. nokia eleven-o-one, my choice!

  • even if my phone is expensive, i really do like this phone.. im planning to get one, i love the look..it looks so fast and so there ..

  • This phone is legendary :) , where i live its discontinued and it sells in the second hand market for the price of new, its that much in demand :)

  • I got a Nokia 1101 since 2005, and I won't change it for anything. They gave me a brand new Motorola L7, and I'll tell you, I keep this one. They stole me the L7 a week ago in the streets, and I am happy having again my Nokia again. Lol, I spend loads of money using the phone, like 30$ in SMS only per month. And it is like my pet. For sure, Ill surely recommend you to buy this phone, really amazing. (Sorry for the mistakes, I am not a native english speaker).

  • nice phone with friendly budget. i dislike its hard keys.

  • Great phone for the price

  • i agree dont get your pin code wrong 3 times

  • this is my first fone im in grade 7 it was my mums fone be4 mine ive dropped it a dit but its a good its just a bit embarrising if your in my grade and youve got this fone i think im getting a motorola v191 4 my birthday r they any good r they small does it look ugly wihout a antennae

  • This was my first phone. after 1,5 year i didnt like it anymore. I've tried to smash it but it didnt work. I've tried it even with putting it under the car of my dad and even then it didnt broke. So better dont buy this phone if you're a hypocrit.. (finally it worked destroying it with orange juice)

  • LOL it is smalllllll and handy and works and never breaks lol still good for country with a high crime rate

  • Its great, even in such era, where one mobile Phone is complete PC. Its light in weight, small to carry, white and sharp back light. Very handy and hard, as I am habitual to drop it down from my desk.

  • yes very good hmmmmmm breaks easy cough cough why nokia do u have to disown us like this making phones that are unintended for humans

  • this is a good phone...just as good as 3310 was....now the 1101 1100 take over....this phone is for the not care about posh people ppl...and no offence people..this is only a quote.for this fone...Nokia - connecting poor people...lol...only a joke..dnt take it seriously...

  • I have had my nokia 1101 for about 2years and i dont have any problems with it i just want a basic feature phone and that is what i have all my friends they have expensive phones but guess what they have all been robed of thgeir phone at one point in time and nobody wants to rob me of my basic feature phone.I wont be giving it up for now.

  • One ot the Best Moile for Bigneers Can't be compared

  • Comments about 1108 Simply superb.It is all the phone you really need.Stupendous battery life-actually 8 days tested with 20 min of calling each day,no switchoffs. keypad fantastic,extremely rugged,dropped it no of times,no scratch-same performance. BUY IT MAN.

  • I'm just gonna die using these unit!!!!

  • What kind of stupid joke is this so called phone ? :))

  • This is a great phone! It has all the basic functions(mesagges and calls), it's light and has an amaizing battery.

  • nice , compatible, convenient model

  • I need this model. But i didnt get this mobile in India especially in Tamilnadu. What can i do? What is the reason? Is it the production stopped? I feel this model is user-friendly. Thankyou,

  • Great phone, I have 3, one for each Mobile Company and they have fallen, been thrown harshly into the walls, hit with a hammer and still work ohhhhhh, and one I dropped into the pool, and is still alive The battery lasts FOREVER, OMG, just great phone

  • hai ....................... connecting people

  • Great reliable phone, this was and my first phone and it it still is my phone I've had it for nearly 2 years now and its been great just don't type your pin in wrong more than three times. Cheap, basic and it wont get nicked!!

  • it has wap? :O:O:O

  • this ph is not the best i have ever used. i had to use it when my primary ph had to be fixed. yeah the battery can hold it power but come on people the this is like buyin a type-writer over a computer. and a donkey cart over a car. please step it up

  • it is 1108

  • This is a great phone. I am from Grenada. had this phone for about 2 years. The only thing I regret is that I cant get roaming in some countries. It is dual ban, not tri band and that is the difference.

  • bit costly,but nothing matters,thanks nokia for giving this phone such great qualities.its camera(0.25 vga) is the best.its mp3 is mindblowing,its torch light is like halogen.battry backup 2hr quite enough.one need 2 carry the charger all the time,i will give 9.5 \10.wow WHAT A PHONE NOKIA HAS MADE GUYS.TRY THIS ONCE.MY OPINION.

  • i had dis fone for 3yrs, and it could take real lix

  • iwas using for past 3 monthsits very cute &compact.easy to handle

  • This is a very easy and strong phone we very strong signal and small size, the battery life is excellent and I have been using it for 1.5 year without any problems at allllll

  • Gooddd PHONE , it"s a phone not a toy , good price

  • i first saw this phone with my uncle and he said the company he worked for gave it to their staff so i went to the market to look for it but i couldn't get it. but i was taken by the cuteness and simplicity of the phone then i was using a sonyericsson t630 wc was cool but i was obsesed with theis phone so i had to go into a more vigorous search and i got it at last although it came a little expensive cos of its scarcity. but this phone has proven it worth. it has fallen so many times and never had a fault its simply da best i still use it till date and try its easy swapping and conferencing features. u'll fall for it

  • I have this phone for a year or more... I talked over 150hours, and the battery is very good also... Although I talk every day, the battery remains for 5days... I have no problems with the phone, although I dropped it sometimes... This phones deserves it's money... it is not expensive and very good to talk and send messages...

  • yeh man its cool,my day start with my supeb nokia 1101,its very very much user frindly with all.

  • very cute phone look is very sexy

  • its a great Phone - reasonable price!

  • ITS a very nice phone i love it....

  • It's simple, small, 6 days battery (with talking) and not expensive. And it's Nokia. But I have to admit I miss a little bit my Ericsson T65, i like that menu better :D

  • Well, i have this phone for 3 weeks now, got it for free, i had to choose between this and a siemens mc60...i didn`t have to think for a sec...i mean, c`mon, i need a phone for calling, and sending messages, after all, that's the primary purpose of a phone, right? well, with this one, it's very easy, writting a message is child play, and the signal is great (at least, i had no probs). altough the siemens was also free, and had a colour screen and camera, it ain't that good. i had nokia's and siemens'es before. nokia are very strong built. dropped them on the stars, got'em wet, put them to extrem shocks, and they passed everything great...not the same happened for the siemens'es (killed 5 till now - RIP). So, my opinion, if u need a phone that's strong, small, light, and u need it to make calls, receive callss, send and receive messages, then this is the phone for u...if u need useless gadgets (camera ? no thanks, till now i found no phone able to beat my sony digital camera - 8 mpx ;), mp3player ? buy an ipod), go ahea, buy a phone with lotz of gadgets, but don`t come around cryin` that your phone swtitched off during an important call, because your battery died. That`s all i had to say. Regards from romania

  • it's a very very nice phone! i'll buy one!

  • yes, i have a 8800, payed 900 euros for it, and i'll gonna throw it on the wall and i'll buy this phone for 50 euros and for 50 euros i'll get days of battery life (5) i hope not a single day - that's just rubbish! to pay 900 euros for a phone that's good only to brag to people that ''hey! i am rich! look at the phone! look!!! , i cannot talk with it but look it's shiny!!! look at that glam!'' damn! i'll buy this phone tomorow! it has battery life, it's small, i can see the screen in sunny days (''oh, and the screen that's so scratch resistant and made of industrial saphire, oh, oh, oh '' it's a piece of s..t), and it has wap and with it i can check my email (that's very good), and the price is just great (like a whiskey bottle). p.s. if u people wanna know something, to be rich means to have a 100k car, a big house, etc. and you won't have a stroke if u pull out of the pocket a 50 euros phone.

  • the best and the most economical among all nokia phones . its battery back up is really excellent and unimaginable . hats of to nokia company.

  • its really the bet mobile piece.battery capacity is vvv nice.but,hav anyone observed that the nuber 2 option was missing in the contacts menu?was it there anything or unfortunately overcrossed while numbering?

  • Guys, you are looking at a fabulous phone for those beginners out there. Its a great little gadget that fits in your pocket. Who needs camera''s and mp3 players in phones?

  • I want to buy this phone after selling my nokia 6630.

  • Hy, guys, i do have one question? I don't know if anyone of you have noticed, but if you enter the menu of this phone in the right upper corner appeares a number. Well these numbers go from 1 to 12, but 11 is missing. Does anyone else noticed the same strange problem? Where is the menu with the number 11? Can anyone help me? Or perhaps this is the way this menu was concieved. ?? Thx

  • it's cool phone very easy phone, i was have one like this, but now i have sony k700. This phone for any one don't like MP3 or MMS or WAP he just want a Phone With SMS. I try it before it's cooooool.

  • to dr.EDWIN NHLAPO: wat r u sayin???duhhh!! dnt u ever think that this is a phone your lookin at? or you have never seen a phone before?? yeah!wala nyan sa bundok

  • its a fantastic phone i am personally using this phone and have never occured any problem. hats off to nokia!!!!

  • oh my lord,whats going on with nokia.tell me what is this........?a phone or toy.

  • Hi.... I think this mobile is really very simple,cute and very easy in use to all and this is an excellent AND one of the best model of nokia......

  • Guys, This is an excellent model and typical Nokia style user friendly menu .Economical,rugged, and has all basic features for day to day use.If you are looking for techno savvy mobiles pls check out the high end Nokia mobiles.1101 & 1100 are the best for basic needs without any technological clutter to confuse you.I have quite a few Nokia mobiles which I have bought in last 10 years starting from the basic mobiles to the high end Nokia mobile( I am a die hard fan of Nokia because of its user friendly menu).Though I always carry a high end Nokia model( my position demands)but the fact is my requirments is still basis - making calls,receiving calls,SMS/MMS. Do not think twice to buy the 1101 or 1100 model for your basic requirment.....and always remember that Nokia has the most user friendly menu in the world! Designs,technological clutter,camera etc in a mobile are basically for increasing the varity to ensure longivity and survival of a company and its product.End of the day common sense tells us that all over the world 99.9% people use there mobiles for incoming/outgoing calls & SMS/MMS.Who has the time for the rest???? Tips to buy a Nokia mobile - 1- First identify your Budget? 2- Identify your requirments in your mobile? Your requirments can be based on social surrouding,age group,peer pressure,ego,pride or simply being you! 3- Once your thought process is clear it is easier to pick the right model without any regrets.

  • re: fascias hmm.. I have a Nokia 1100 and a 1101. I am sure they will fit each other but have a feeling that the clips are different for the font panel but I will check it tonight and let you know. BTW both these phones are great. i prefer the 1101 purely becuase of its bluee screen. otherwise the same.

  • Always the best to purchase

  • is the phones casing creaky or is it solid?

  • I had lots of phones till now, SE P900, nokia 6310, 6230,6230i,3510i,6600,3650, but I must admit that 1101 is the best phone i ever had

  • "simply" the best phone ;)

  • hi happy with phone a good basic unit but have a query do the fascias from the 1100 model fit the 1101 model as niece lent my phone and now badly scrached,on ebay only see 1100 fascias advertised,thanks

  • its the best phone

  • what is the difference between nokia 1100 & nokia 1101, "dis people just dey chop our money, oyinbo for show"

  • I am a mobile phone repairing technician.Now I am working in Assam(India).Actually Iam Kerala.previous six months I used to Nokia 1101 handset.It is betterthan Nokia 1110.I hoping some more modifications in 1101. With warm regards,

  • I gave away a high featured SonyEricsson to get one of these. Why? Because I don't need a camera on my phone, I don't need tiny keys that make your fingers hurt when typing a message, because non-color display means more battery life, because it has every feature I need in a gadget like a mobile phone: phone (duh!), alarm clock, calculator and even a very handy night light, long lasting battery. Best choice for users, it's probably the only phone among the new releases that fits the saying: "Everything you need, nothing you don't!" I love it and recommend it! Cheers from Romania!

  • perfect as a second fone... i have a 6630 for everything that it's capable of,with one phone number, and a 1101 for talking the 2000 minutes /month that my other number provides!

  • very good phone, i have the 8800 and plan to buy this one.

  • Can any one help i am looking to know if this phone can only allow out going calls to certain numbers a block the rest.... please can anyone help

  • I am having the same problem of the phone getting cut whenever I am on call. This happens within a minute of receiving the call and hence is majorly hampering my usage of the cell. This problem started some 3 weeks back. I really think this is an awesome cell and wish I could find the root of the problem. If someone has found a solution, please post it.

  • i don't think that this phone is for teenagers...they want camera, mp3, stereo sound, etc... I have 14 years(a teenager) and i own an N70 and none of my friends have a phone worse than the Sony-Ericsson K500i...

  • I think Nokia 1101 is made for teenagers.They don t need too many things on their phone...

  • Hi, my boyfriend owns the nokia 1100 and i must say this is a very basic phone with very basic features. The menu it's REALLY simple and it's perfect for people who don't want to get mess up with new mesmerizing technology (my boyfriend is like that) the only CONS: 1.- He has this annoying problem that when he is receiving or making a call, the call is cut by the phone (we don't know why but this is his second 1100, he lost the other one, and the two had the same problem)so he can only make or receive calls of about 1 min or less. 2.- It doens't have a calendar!! 3.- When you take out the battery and put it back again and start the phone, you have to introduce the date and time again (each time you take the battery out). It's really annoying! PROS: 1.- Its price, very cheap. 2.- The torch, extremely useful. 3.- Its design, very handy and almost indestructible. Conclusion: I recommend this phone to people who don't want to spend much money on sth you might use only for sms or basic calls. : D

  • this phones key pad is clicky and it is very boring. would not buy it again.

  • I this phone very because this is small and have a good hand grip eassy to carry .

  • whats the keypad like on this phone?

  • THIS PHONE IS GREAT! I got it after my Samsung got stolen and its indestructable. I've dropped it off a two storey building, threw it at countless people, dropped on the concrete then stood on it(quite a few times), my friend chucked it at our school building, I cracked it with a rock, its even been thrown at me and I dropped it in the bath. AND IT STILL WORKS PERFECTLY!! Its a bit scratched BUT IT WORKS! And battery lasts sooo long, its also very simple to use! Great for a first phone or if you are extremely clumsy :)

  • Made a small typo. Was supposed to say: between 1100 and 1101. :)

  • For those asking what the difference is: - 1101 has WAP with basic GSM data. Not something you really need in a phone like this. - The display is different. That most likely also causes the reduced battery life. Not sure if it's actually shorter. I would say this is what makes you choose between 1100 and 1102. It depends on which screen you like more.

  • I think its so boring it dosent have anything (its prety easi 2 handel). But it grabs realy bud signal and the gatery lasts a lot!!!!

  • wats da differnce from 1100 and 1101

  • I like this basic phone. One thing is missing from this model ! The FM radio. Nokia, please integrate FM radio on this model !

  • this is a good phone had 4 ova a year now..its kool...it is strong..fallen up to 2otimesand still works...yea when the battery falls out tha user settings dissappear..but which phone doesn thave this problem it is cute, small, light..4 ppl who just want a phone that calls and can send sms..its perfect..tha number pad is easy to press and u can change tha face..it is worth is price.. perfect perfect

  • wellllllllllllllllll, this is the best phone so far because it is cheap and has some fine colours. When my husband get this phone for me my friends are telling me that my husband does like me but now i believe he love me most because since i get this phone it has not be once have a problem. my friends that get the coster once has been having problem and they want to buy this phone now. they said my husband loves me because he does want me to be disturb.

  • Ok fon

  • Comment below about bugs is definitely wrong IME. No problems AT ALL here.

  • MUCH better than expensive 5140. You can actually read the display and press the keys with the 1100, and that's not easy on 'most all current Nokias (or others)...

  • Don't bother what these little lads who post here say. The 1100 is actually the best phone out there for calls. All kids want is toys and lots of 'em to boast to their pals.

  • To all of you blasting this phone-please dont!! its one of the cheapest phones out there, what do u really expect-for what you are paying for the phone i think its a gr8 little phone-i had a samsung d500 n it broke so while it was getting repaired i bought this one for the week so i had a phone-it cost me �15 n i had no problems whatsoever n for what i paid the phone did the job-i have now given this phone to my mother who loves it n says its easy to use so to all you haters of 'not so good' phones just cos u have a good phone or whatever dont hate cos this phones for those who dont want a great phone or can ony afford somethin a bit cheaper!

  • CONS: * often the alarm fail to ring due uncleare reasons. This is a very nasty bug. Imagine, I was in a bussines trip and I failed to wake up in time due this telephone alarm failure. This bug is reproducible !!! So NEVER trust in this telephone alarm. * the signal isn't that good as they claim. * disturbing echo during the phone calls may appear withaut an obvious cause. * Come on,... in 2005 they don't offer you any calendar feature * remove the battery and put it back. You will see that it will loose all your user setting. That is extremely bad and unpleasant. PROS: * low price, for no features * torch ;) * good battery life Conclusion: Nokia 1100 and 1101 are disappointing!... so basic and full of bugs !!??? : In the past I had a 4 years ols Alcatel 311, and was more featured than this telephone. What should I add more?

  • Operative word being phone. Isn't a phone supposed to make and receive calls? Isn't it what this unit does? Walks like a duck, flies like duck, is a duck.

  • Hello! This is one of the modest phones on the market. But I think it's very good for people with low budget, or those who don't want anything else but to call and SMS. I use it as a "secondary" phone, I have as a "primary" phone Nokia 6630. Nokia 1101 it's very good as Stand-By, Talk Time, Signal Strength and basic functions. Anyway I have a lot of friends with Nokia 3310 which is a bad phone compared to this one(N-1101), from any point of view. So want a good, simple, longlasting and also a cheap phone? Then try it! I bought it yesterday from Nokia Store. Here in Romania Nokia offers a warranty of 2years for every Nokia model. I payed for it 67euros. I like it very much, cause is very simple compared to the other phone N-6630. I'm not joking, and I don't make free advertising for this model or for Nokia. But it's my opinion and I have the right to inform people about my opinion. THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE GOOD TO DO ON THE WEB EXCEPT TO POST YOUR WRONG OPINIONS ONLY BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS PHONE, TRY TO STOP. JUST THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLES WHO WANT REAL USERS OPINION ABOUT DIFFERENT PHONE MODELS, AND YOU POST YOUR FAKE OR PERSONAL OPINION JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN IT IN STORES AND/OR WEB. GIVE THE FUTURE GUESTS OF THIS SITE THE RIGHT TO CHOSE BETWEEN DIFFERENT BRANDS AND MODELS. HAVE A NICE DAY U ALL!!!!!!! BY THE WAY I'M FROM BUCHAREST-ROMANIA, AND I'M SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT I WROTE ABOVE.

  • Hey dogs I totally agree with you this phone is totally so techneclogicy advance for me to use

  • This phone is the ultimate phone of the year!!!! the game snake blows my mind!!! the torch on it has got me out of alot of sticky situations. The only problem that i find with it is that it is so technologically advanced that im still trying to learn how to use the many functions of this futuristic phone. if someone can help me to use this phone that would be great

  • Spot on! 1100 is a great simple *phone* with fast menus and processor, a display you can actually see in daylight (how novel eh?!), and does more than most phones did a few years back, when phones were just that--not gimmicks for the playground. Just right size and weight, battery life great. Color screens are crud; stick your cameras, video, internet, poloyphonic tones up your jacksie! More greyscale lcd phones please nokia, less toys.

  • 1100: best phone available. Kiddies look elsewhere and come back when you want a phone not a toy.

  • All praises fror this phone ...thnks for bring down the price it really works out reasonable.......the features are basic .....thbks amaz

  • Agree with below. I've had Nokia 6600, SE P800, Nokia 6670, Imate Jam and many others. Have reverted to separate phone and pda and 1100 / 1101 are excellent. They simply do what you need and do it better than anything else.

  • It is good, I rather if it had all the same menu and functios that had the nokia 2280! because this 1101 is newest than 2280.

  • The nokia 1108 is not a WAP phone

  • After putting smart phones on my fingertips, Nowadays enjoying the N1101 amazing battery life,improvised light,keypad,operating software and last but not least its Price.To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury.

  • The greatest phone ever!!! Name it! It's there!!! 2 megapixel camera with high quality MPEG4 video format!!! 3D sound for MP3 and FM radio!!! USB Connectivity, SyncML, iRDA VERY GOOD PHONE!!! NICE OONE NOKIA!!! The Nokia 1101!!!

  • Sorry but if you buy this phone in liege , is maby much cheeper , but here in antwerp is to expensive ! , Its a good phone but to expensive , Its beter to buy this phone in liege

  • keypad on mine is useless. smsing is a chore.

  • to Darkmoon : ???? I sell phones in liege, belgium, and this mobile costs exactly 75euros (with all the taxes in this price). You can have it for 55 if you give back another old phone. Voil� !!

  • yeah you know , I live in belgium but this phone in belgium is to damn Expensive , the ask 100� + Tax ! , If you go to spain or France , this phone is way more cheeper then here in belgium ! , Shame Country Belgium , Every thing yo Expensive with a lot of Tax

  • I just read this.. somebody said that it has 4 days battery life after sending sms and talking. I record videos, take photos, listen to mp3's.. and my battery life is kind of the same! Come on.. it's a walkie talkie not a phone

  • LoL .. how can u call this a phone? i'd better buy a remote control.. it's cheaper and it looks the same way lol

  • Its fantastic for any lover , he can contact or sms his girlfriend easily ,i dont think the blutooth technology with MP3 and camera is required.

  • Hello friends! Nokia has enhanced 1100 to 1101 by 50 Short Msgs n greater call records memory, the color is also good, but y they reduced battery time as well as 1100 concerned it has talk time Up to 4 h 30 min and 1101 has 3hrs.

  • THis phone seems 2 be great.I read all the specifications.Its good.

  • This Phone is good for people who need a phone for to call and sms , Just like my father , he need only a phone for to call and sms , But i'm different:P , i like N70:P , Camera , MP3 and every thing what its have

  • The difference is the 1101 has WAP and more memory in the call records. Also a shorter battery life, so it seems.

  • why do Nokia bringing out so-called 'different' models? This is pretty much the same as the 1100! Wow, they've put Wap and EMS in the phone, but these are not new technologies. They already existed!

  • Hey, errr....what the heck is the difference between this and the 1100. Seriously. Someone tell me NOW

  • his phone is a real mobile phone,what do i need a camera for,or a mp3 player or a color screen,its a phone so answeringa nd making calls and smsing thats it,Best phone ever!

  • it's great man...believe me.cheap,longlasting batt and great keypad for sms.i got 4 days to have the batt go empty.

  • Me mate bought a fone just like that about 2 years ago [i m from malta btw]!! and now it only costs 29 quid!! Don't get it its so 2 years ago!

  • I think good enuff for my mom, who r x so tech savvy, as long as she can sms & answer fon calls. Also, not so expensive for my kids. I guess Nokia had produce the right and affordable fon for certain class.

  • It's a cool phone, given that it has a white backlight, WAP, EMS, flashlight and super stand-by: almost 8 days (i have this phone so i know :) Buy it now! It worths its money surely!

  • N1100,1108 And 1101!keep going!!!

  • what the hell is this? Isn't this the year of 2005? THen y the hell do we get a star trek black and white phone?looks like it can pick up cable man. Hellz no. Unbellleeevable.

  • i think its only for europe market only!!

  • tis a josh set thn da previous model. i like it although i won buy this set as its a low end feature

  • The difference with Nokia 1100 --- EMS, and WAP. Nokia 1100 doesn't have these.

  • only 1 difference when compared to 1100. If you wanna buy this i suggest if you have an 1100 you might just change the backlight into white light, making it from green backlight to white backlight, to make it easier for you folks and not to waste your moolah.

  • is it for europe market only?

  • wats the different with 1100,1108?white LED

  • At first sight it has no difference with the Nokia 1100 but it actually does. It has a white backlight display like the Nokia 1108 which was only released in India. Then its a WAP enabled phone, my goodness, WAP in this one? Surely Nokia is full of ideas;) Any takers??

  • what is different with nokia 1100???

  • The only difference between the old 1 and dis 1 is the cover

  • wats de diffrent with 1100?
