Nokia 1600 - User Reviews

  • Still going strong after 13 years. Voice calls are crystal clear & calls/alarms rings very clearly & loudly as well. Pre-loaded games are a bit addictive & ringtones can be downloaded. The speaking clock & themes with changeable color schemes are also good to have. Extreme durability & snappy performance makes it perfectly usable for basic purposes in 2019. [Note: Had to bought a lot of chargers for my smartphones in last few years but a old Nokia charger still works perfectly without any issue after a decade.]

  • Nice

  • I want this mobile phone... Nokia 1600 I have used this item... Mind blowing..

  • you can buy it from e-bay , it is available with nice price : 16 USD only and 2 USD for shipping charge, I bought 2 pices because my father and mother refuse to use any phone except this one.

  • u can wipe it i have one and it was dirty so i took the front cover off and cleaned it

  • I used this from like the release date until up to like 2016 I guess, when it was completely destroyed. Really good phone, loved the Snake, the football and rapid roll on it.

  • My Mom was using this phone since 2007 till March 2015. It was quite a good phone. Back in those days Nokia was the most Leading Brand till 2012

  • Yep, I'm still using it, too. Battery lasts for a month.

  • still using 1600 ...after 10 years of purchase...simply love it

  • very beautiful phone.. very durable..

  • huh? every flagship and midrange phone uses Nano SIM these days?

  • SIM Mini - Regular SIM (big one) Micro - Micro SIM (used by most Smartphone nowadays) Nano - Nano SIM (used mostly by Apple)

  • Using since 2004. Still ok! :)

  • Mine if 13 years old now.It has fallen dozens of time but still works!! I wish I could wipe the internal window of the dusts... The info MINI SIM is not correct.There were no such sims at the time. BIG SIM:ok

  • Had this phone long time ago, it had unbelievable battery, lasted over 2 weeks with one charge. Try same with Android phones or other smartphones ;)

  • thish phone verry nice.

  • awesome...phone i use it since 2006....i love this phone so much... i cAnNOt coMpare thIs phoNee frm any phn.. umMah love it :-)

  • Best phone I'll ever have. I used it for 10 years and I'd keep using it, but I need mobile internet. Battery still holds 10 days, granted I don't use it too much. I dropped it I don't know how many times, the only thing that got damaged was the plastic mask. Ten years and it works just as well as it did the day I bought it.

  • love my little phone would like the adapter to charge in the car anyone know how to get one can't seem to find one in my area

  • No I wouldn't actually.

  • Terrible phone, couldn't even keep his breath for 5 minutes in the Mediterranean Sea. After surviving 7 years of being dropped and thrown around with hardly any resulting dents or scratches, you'd expect it could survive a little swim, wouldn't you?

  • Using ten year without changing the battery. Still working good.

  • I miss my nokia 1600

  • another user of this phone since 2007... only changed the batery last year ( the other one was not lasting too long) now its lasting days and days without a recharge

  • this nokia is now 10 years old and it still works

  • me too...

  • im using this phone since 2007 n still working nicely

  • Display ruined after 8 years of use..and a fall. Mother gone mad ..somebody help!!!

  • where can we still buy this phone?

  • I forget my security code

  • as of now...my mom still uses this handset and its working fine. Sometimes i still play cricket and Soccer league in this phone. It reminds me of my young days. Thanks Nokia

  • I'm using it since 2007 and it is too good.

  • I use the mobile phone .. unique ..

  • So pretty and good still is working .... none can replace this loving it and playing with it.............

  • I love the fon. soo unique n still using it.

  • miss u nokia 1600...........

  • This is a great phone. I'm still using mine nine years after getting it. It makes calls, it receives calls, and it can text. It's all I need in a phone. The music composer allowed me to add my own ring tones. The battery lasts for weeks on one charge. The only downside is that after you get a lot of texts you have to delete some to get the next batch. Other than that, it's perfect. I hope I never have to buy another phone.

  • its an ultimate mobile in Nokia Brand.Love to use that mobile. am still using dat

  • Can someone tell me how I can block the key while I talk on the phone and the headset in my ears, what have to activate the function?

  • awesome phone if available would like to buy it once again......5 Stars

  • awsm mobile..

  • This is the best mobile, I use this phone. Battery qualiti is too good.

  • Still using this...

  • i want this mobile

  • It´s very good.

  • i used this since 2006 to 2009..its a really hardy & rough used ,user friendly handset...

  • I bought the Nokia 1600 back in 2005 and I am still using it now in 2014 as my only phone. Sure the 1600 is very old school and not for show-offs but it is VERY realiable and hardy despite having being dropped a few times. I have never changed the battery, charger or send it in for repairs in 9 years and yet it STILLS gives out good talk and standby time. No smartphones can beat that! Afterall, being NOT so connected is a privilege these days.

  • Rugged, useful, dependable. That's how I describe my Nokia 1600. This phone continues to do what a phone like this was designed to do--reliably make and receive calls and texts. I'm now ready for a "smart phone," but have no intention of ever throwing this guy away.

  • yes plz buy nokia1600

  • the nokia 105 is an updated version of 1600 , with a better battery standby & more colors on screen .i use a 105 , C2-01 & an asha 503 but still i love my 105.

  • its so good . ist phone of my life. 2005. when i am in class 6. i used it 2005 to 2010. now i am a smart phone user galaxy and lumia., but i miss u 1600..

  • Launch It Again with updated version with camera & Music Player.Will sell like hot cake

  • I have used Nokia 1600 for about 6 years. Never ever let me down and never had to change battery. Latterly some difficulty charging (probably just need a better cable). Perfect for all my mobile needs and just the greatest phone ever. As somebody said... "a friend for life!"

  • It is a great phone. I have been using it since 2005. That is 8 years now. I dropped it so many times. It is still working well and the original battery is still working well too. It is unbelievable that a 50 euro phone could lasts so long and with great performance. Salute to the Nokia 1600.

  • i am using this 2006 i did change nothing in this phone its working awesome. i dont even changed the battery..

  • reallly the mobile is very awesome and it is very user friendly one,,,, this is no.1 in market compared to any 3g brand mobiles its very nice goodddddddddddddd

  • I have been using nokia 1600 without any problem since 2006. I changed battery once. As a simple phone for talking, it is nonparallel.

  • Still i've using this phone in last 6 years once i changed battery only. Great phone thnx Nokia

  • nokia 1600 is a best mobile

  • I Like This Nokia 1600 My First Phone ,

  • will not show anything on the face of phone

  • My Mom Is Using This Phone From The Last 5 Years Or So.Performance Is Good & Still Going Strong,Only Battery Needed To Be Changed. WELL DONE NOKIA...CHEERS ^_^

  • My second phone ^.^

  • a sweet charming color phone.you will love it since you will have it.you will find all necessary things.i advice you to not hesitate if you find it

  • Great phone i am Using this phone for 6 years and still in good condition, only the battery i replace 1 time

  • Great battery life.very strong . Never had to repair it once in 7 years except for the battery once.It is like a friend forever. My two best phones are Nokia 1600 and Nokia N72-5

  • aaaaaaaaa very very nice phone i am using from 3yrs

  • It is like a friend forever

  • I still have one of them. Use it while on offshore trips where cameras are not allowed. Excellent performance, long battery life. Reception and sound clarity as good as my Lumia 920.

  • Just bought this last Saturday (24 Sep 2005), and cost me US$ 89 (No plan, I'm in Indonesia). Basic phone with great stuff inside. Talking clock for Wake Up alarm!, you'll get annoyed and wake up immediately to shut this phone talking clock. Color and screen just ok, polyphonic great (no mp3 'though). I notice USB connection on the bottom, but dun have the cable data yet. Keypad great, very easy to press and responsive. Screen visibility also great, text easily seen and big enough font (not like 7610, small font for sms....). Overall, BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCKS! Cheap, nice built (look elegant, expensive, and fit in your pocket), easy to use, great battery life (I need 2 hours plus of ringtone+vibrate continous activation to deplete 2 bar of battery before start the 1st charge). Battery is BL-5C, very common for Nokia phone. Much better model compared to 2600 (2600 cheaper by US$ 10).

  • Remarkable phone! Bought in 2005, I think, and still going strong. Excellent battery life and very tough - has survived several drops without being damaged. Made in Europe; is this a clue why it's so good?!

  • This phone is actually nearly the same as Nokia 2310 (& maybe some other Nokia's) - even if 2310 & 1600 looks quite different. But u can actually, if u - in some reason want to - exchange the (whole) "electronical cards" between these two phones (if u have bought mobile-screwdrivers). Its nearly only the outside that is different. 2310 has a radio, calender, & that hasnt 1600. But 2310 hasnt a "talking clock" as 1600. I think that 1600 has a very good design & buttons. (For example - much better than Nokia 2310.) I wish 1600 was made with a radio & a calender. (...And without the possibility to change the radio-sound-level & FM-channel with the 4-way-button, when the button is auto-locked. 2310 works like that, unfortunately.) But. The handsfree to 1600 u mostly have to buy in a second hand shop - if u not find some from friends, or so (that have them deep in some oldbox/drawer, haha). Or, if u are technical competent: change a newer Nokia handsfree - that got the same plug - with a soldering iron. Nokia 1600 is - still - a quite good phone in this year 2013...even if this phone was made 2005. (I personally dont like Nokia's simplier phones so much nowadays.)

  • Very economic phone.. battery long live. good quality

  • I brought this phone on 20 nov 2006 it is a remarkable phone with a long battery life. . . ! It's keypad is very great and it is a very rough and tough phone

  • This was my first phone. I bought it in September 30th,2006 and I was very happy and proud. I'd play the soccer and snake game almost every time!. I used it for 3 years with no problem apart from the mouthpiece which I got repaired and it was working again. I sold it in August 2009 with battery still great and bought the Nokia 5130 Xpress music.

  • its 3g speed is so fast..

  • Nice

  • Nokia 1600 was first mobile. It was my first mobile and also a coloured phone so i for a week liked it. There is a carrom game and cricket for Indian market. So first some weeks were quite entertaining. Good battery, good reception, good communication. But i wanted more. I was using my fathers CDMA phone 2280 which had a monochrome display but features like wap, so my boredom started. I liked this small handset but it was not dying at all :) so i wont lie that i loved it. There are businessmen who can say they love this phone because of its crystal clear sound and other calling advantages but i was in my youth and i started to move my head around to get hands on a cheaper phone with wap so that i can browse google and send emails download java apps. All above features were not possible in this ultra basic colour handset so i made a mistake of life and bought a 2626 which was a super dull device with buttons like rocks and processor like UNIAC. But overall the phone is still running. I handed it to my brother who currently uses it because of its good voice clarity and back up. :)

  • it was my first phone with my own number in 2006. steel working to my uncl. ..

  • This has the best antenna I've ever used on a phone and battery lasts more than a week. For my kind of work, I've to travel and stay at remote villages most times where electricity is very rare to find, let alone charge my phone. I always carry this as a backup phone during my travels because in the end this is the only thing I can trust when I need a phone. Cant say the same for my iPhone 3GS which only lasts a day and a half atmost and has a weaker signal reception or shows no signal at all most times.

  • Check the battery...

  • whenever I am switching on my phone a black screen appears..n nothing is visible. my phone doesn't show the welcome screen of Nokia whenever I switch on. please help me.........what is the solution to this problem....???

  • this is one of the best phone that nokia has... is works very well and it can withstand any treatment..

  • I bought this phone in 2005, and it's the only phone I've ever been using to this date in 2012. And I have to say "WOW". This phone have never given me any trouble. The battery time is very good, the phone could take a lot of battering. Volume is very good. For the price at the time which was $100 TT dollars (~$16 US), wow this phone proved itself. All phones should be like this. I have to sadly give it up though, because the frequency in which it works, will no longer be used in my country from May 31st 2012. So the telecom company told me that I'll have to trade it in for a more modern phone which will be able to work with the current new frequencies. They said they'll give me a Blu phone, which will work with the new frequencies, but this Blu phone is of such a crapy quality.

  • Agree, good phone. I've had it for about five years. But now in hurricane territory and am looking for a car charger (cigarette lighter outlet) and can't find one that will fit. Stores (amaxon) have sent 3, and all the connector pins are too small. Anyone have ideas - cheap and decent car charger for 1600?

  • wat ur talking buddy.am using this for the last 5 years..good battery life..

  • Im still using my wonderful Nokia 1600 for 4 years now and it never lets me down. It has a lovely comfortable keypad and loud ringtones/message alerts which is very important to me.. It is so easy to use; writing and sending messages are an absolute dream. Menus are clear and easy to understand.. Its a quality basic phone which nokia used to EXCEL at making! *These days basic nokia phones are very poor* Notice the keypads on some of them and you will find you need to have baby fingers to push the buttons and also they are made from a cheap plastic material.. Q. Why cant nokia make a good basic phone today such as this one? Surely it cant be that difficult? Nokia, you need to raise your game!!!

  • Im using this fone from last 4 years its beat 4G mobiles....!! I like this mobile very much... Its better than 4G mobile..!!

  • Very interesting one... Fell from second storey at least 5 times still works superbly.. one black line is there at the bottom... awesome fone.. can throw it anywheree......

  • I realy love thz phone again i realy love th phone. It's more comfortable thn any other nokia phone. I had change my mobile with my mom coz i love thz phone. Now m using thz phone coz thz s old phone n old s gold........

  • The keypad light works. Mine is a July 2005 model.

  • I suggest you hang onto it and never let it go. Its hard to find such stable products these days. I got mine in july of 2005 and i still use it daily (although its now used as a second fone). Sell it and you might regret your decision. Its truly a trusty companion.

  • July 2005 model and still going strong. Now used as a backup but still the most trusted fone I own. Not even a bettery change required after all this time and mind you it has been in use each and every day. Battery still lasts for 4 days. Respect....

  • owned one in 2006 and up to this day i believe and know that this is the best of all phones i have ever used, including my current blackberry touch!!!!!

  • nokia 1600 is the best cellphone IN THE WORLD, that falldown at 72 meters, but its still work. fines think in univers. kojon INDONESIA

  • best messing mobile

  • Does anyone know how to extract old messages from Nokia 1600. I mean messages saved in the internal memory.

  • i bought this as a backup phone because of the keypads are perfect...this is what i look up in a phone..the keypads...

  • Since when i bought this phone on Monday 31/07/2006, it has never let me down. It falls down very hard but still works. Battery charge lasts up to 96 hours when in total use.

  • I can tell this is the best phone if you are looking at the durability.... You throw this phone from any story of the building and you will still have it working... used it when it was first launched for few days and ripped it to the core....

  • what type of charger for this phone n1600?

  • Had mine about 3 1/2 years, second hand. It's ugly but you can throw it across the road and it won't complain. I think it had a stroke at some point last year - it forgot how to display the time (leaving a blank area), but it has recoverd this ability. Sometimes, when one particular person texts this phone it resurects a text from last year as apose to through-putting the actual message. It also does interesting things when it recieves texts in a format to which it's unfarmiliar.... Battery life is great, never is it ever a worry on long trips. Was planning on getting a new mobile whenever I exceeded 4000 points on it's 'rapid roll' game but I'm beond that point and have currently decided that it'll be kept until it's dead - which unfortunately looks like I'll be nursing it on for a very long time. The buttons are great, texting is fast and you can train yourself to do it with out looking (try doing that with an Iphones touch screen). Recommended for anyone who doesn't care that it is just a phone.

  • It is a very good mobile phone.i am using this for 4 and 1/2 yrs.very hard set,never faced any serious problem.

  • good comment

  • it's a cool mobile i used it 2 years ago!!!!!!!!!

  • I am using this phone since about 2 years. Its strong and reliable one. It had been dropped from my hands for more than 100 times but never created any problem and still being used by me. Besides it has a very long battery life.

  • i use this phone till now for almost 4 year, STRONG body STRONG batery, the keypad is perfect.. wow.. i am still amazed how other EXPENSIVE phone usually broken more fast than this one..

  • hi everyone.. i have that phone i buy it yesterday 2nd hand its good and nice phone..

  • excellent phone

  • i bought an old one of this, 2nd hand, for temp use, now i love this phone better than my e72. but the problem is it has no keypad light, i dont know its because this is old and broken keypad light, or because its in the model. can someone verify?

  • Nice but not so good. It must possess GPRS

  • I agree with Kunal......I've also been using this phone for some time & love its performance.....battery life; easy handling, really loud speakerphone. Wish Nokia would restart making this phone!

  • Yes it's true. It has very long battery life!

  • It is a wonderfull phone. Main advantage of this phone is it's battery life. It is easy to carry. No complaint. The keypard is easy to type.

  • Can anyone tell me does this model work in USA

  • u should buy a charger having big hole or big pin charger. Now a days it does'nt come with Nokia Phone but it may available with some old nokia Phone Holder.

  • how do you charge this thing? i have one weird charger and i can't plug it into an outlet, a friend of mine gave it to me to charge and im not sure how you do it. i know this may sound funny but, im clueless

  • i have nokia 1600 mobile phone. Can You tell me that is it possible to hear the conversation by three peoples by bringing their ears close without the speaker phone mode on at the busy road with the number of people gathered at the spot

  • I was using this mobile..... i just wanna say thank you to nokia for giving us such a awesome model.

  • it is the wonderful fone .in the history of nokia..the best thing ìs its batterybackup.it lasts for a week.it is the best fone for the middle class people.it can,t be compared to nokia2690,N3110,N71ETC.

  • I forgot my security Code for my nokia 1600. But I dont want to delete the phone numbers and the messages. What shall i do?

  • 12345 or 1234

  • the keypad...its simply mrvellous...and the phone too..

  • sir, my nokia 1600 phone want the password before starting.

  • have a 1600 since 2005[original battery still working, purchased in panama/panama, switch sim cards for canada,back+fort, never had a problem still in use today,exelent service by the nocia stuff

  • Excellent keypad. It was stolen from a bastard. Now I am happy with a 1209 but keypad isn't like the 1600 one.

  • when u r calling some1..den press the right navigation key to increase the volume and left navigation key to reduce the volume.

  • I lost it and I'm very sad, because Nokia doesn't make good basic phone longer :)

  • I have purchased it 5 years back and still it is working very well. Whole-heartedly I like it. Nokia should made such kind of cell phones again and again for the benefit of middle-class people or who wish to purchase simple cell phones with required features only...

  • Very nice phone to have.good battery life...nice keypad better than many of the costly phones for instant messaging.

  • have dropped it 100 times.. works like new.. pity they discontinued .. Best mobile

  • Very good phone on our life

  • Great battery! I hope one day smartphones are like that :)

  • I've had this one for about 2 years and it's been very good. The battery lasts a long time, usually for about two weeks. The best thing about this phone is that the keys are sturdy and made of hard plastic, making it good for text messaging. Before 1600 I had a Nokia 1100 and the keys were made of horrible soft plastic that's really hard on your fingers. I switched to Samsung E2210B for a while but writing text messages made my thumb hurt, so I returned to this one. Want a basic phone with unbeatable battery life for calling and text messaging? Get this. Want a phone with MP3 ringtones, bluetooth, 3G, WLAN and a camera? Go look elsewhere.

  • awesome mobile

  • Im using this one right know at 2010! lol

  • best mobile phone produced by nokia

  • nokia 1600 handset

  • nokia 1600 is the best mibile phone...its very cool cell

  • may iuse thus mobile 4 year no problem in this mobile this very good mobile

  • the very best I have owned because of the loud speakerphone I can hear it on boat in car in factory I have discarded many new phones which have lacked this basic feature - ease of answering and audibility al the new phones eg MP3 players are inaudible on speakerphone and there is nothing wrong with my hearing I just do not like half a watt of radio frequency energy cooking my brain - using a speakerphone reduces this by 75% the further away I can hold it from my brain ( and ear) the better also the most reliable because I look after it and it looks after me [email protected]

  • most wanted at my country

  • Thanks for your suggestion!

  • This is one of the best phones I have used in my life. Inspite of buying 2 Samsung phones, Nokia E71 and a blackberry, I am still in love with this phone and cant do without this! I am getting one more piece from Hungary as this is not sold here. This is just like that Bajaj Chetak! Harama Nokia 1600! :) You will not regret buying this phone now even for double the price then.

  • You can use < > buttons to raise / unraise volum. Push > button when you are talking with someone, this will raise volum.

  • How can I raise the volume on my Nokia 1600? When talking on my phone, I can barely hear the person on the other end.... Help!!!

  • I have a Nokia 1600 and use Net10. Never had a problem until two months ago. All of a sudden we get a "this person has not set up voice mail" message when calling from our home landline! It shows up as a missed call and never rings. When you click on the options it tells us that "this is a screened call!" Heck, that's the main reason we have this phone is so that we can call each other in case of an emergency!!! Folks can call us on the cell with no problems but we can't use our home phone to call the cell. What/how do we fix it? BTW, I tried calling Net10 and that was a joke!!! :(

  • I love you 1600.

  • menh..this phone is the best..strong, log lasting battery how do i which nokia will modify this phn by add some features on it..

  • Hey everyone. Can somebody please spare 5minutes for me.

  • just press the right and leftnavigation key when you're on call to adjust the volume :)

  • if the phone rings more than four times. the phone locks up and you have to turn the phone off. to be able to use it. If you try to redial it tells you to stop call restriction. how do I correct this?

  • it fell into the toilet bin and survived and also the call and messages do not stink

  • can anyone tell me how to transfer all the contacts from the computer to this phone pls, thanks in advance

  • The phone works good but the 'manual' stinks. If you have an up arrow to the right of the strength bars it means your call forwarding is on. Try to find this in your book especially if you have set it in error. The online 'manual' is the same as the one with the phone.

  • the most attractive (in terms of design construction) low-end phone from nokia! love the basic features! LESS IS MORE!!!

  • As a basic phone this is a very reliable device, the battery life is very good, I only have to charge my phone's battery once per week and the sound clarity is also excellent. Its a small phone so it fits very nicely in one's hand and it also looks very stylish. Not a bad buy if you're looking for a simple, basic phone.

  • this phone is very good . the main advantage of this phone is battery only its last so long even it come 4 an week . and so many times it dropped 4m my hand and fall down but nothing happened thanks 2 nokia

  • hard to hear when talking,how do you turn vol up please.

  • i lyk ths fon coz it's so easy to use,got prtty gud keypd big enof 4 u nt 2 press othr bottons wen ur texting.u cn evn nvg8 the fon w/o lukin...amazing...hehe.

  • This phone is invincible!! I dropped it over a dozen of times on solid ground like tiles, concrete, and on rocks a few times. And its STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. I had this phone for over a year now and I even dropped it in a river for a few minutes and it worked a couple of days later.

  • simply it is awesome.........iused it for last 3.5 years.....infact it felldown from a 4 storey building.....my heart stopped working but it still working........ha ha.....now i m using......w580i.....

  • best fon................. last week som1 was asking me for this fon @ 3000 but i deny.....i'll nvr sell this one

  • Indeed, this Nokia 1600 is terrific! Although its restrict features (it doesn't have a calendar!...), it's tough, strong, (many many times I have dropped it on the floor...and still it's quite intact!) Great battery life too! I recommend it. If someone ever get to know some other mobile phone with these features, please, let me know! Best regards everyone..

  • okay..so, i had this phone for like, 5 years from now..and I'd like to say, that this phone rocks...besides being strong from several droppings, its battery lasts for almost a week on stand-by and like four days on unlimited text...how cool was that?but now, I'm planning to get a new phone for the reason that this phone started to shut off suddenly...it suddenly shuts off after sending a message then turns on again for example..i don't really know why...can anyone tell me what this phone's problem was?thank you!!

  • I personally like more the old Snake II, because on Snake Xenzia (Nokia 1600) if you choose a higher level of dificulty, the snake slows down when it gets bigger (mabie not enough CPU?). I don't like its color display because of two reasons: 1) the pixels are too big and if I look at it from close range, I get dizzy :\ This doesn't happen to me on monochrome displays... 2) the display has the shadowing effect or whatever it's called, which I hate very much. The idea is when the image changes, you see a fade transition effect between the two. This gives me the impression that the phone responds slowly. I guess all or most cheap displays have this P.S.: the screen size is NOT my problem... Personaly, I don't like too much the keys. They're fine, but I can't text fast with them, it would have been better for me if they were all separeted, not put in groups (1-4, 2-5, 3-6, 7-*, 8-0, 9-#) On the good side, the battery holds for 7-8 days, which is good, and the ringtones are nice, even though I couldn't add more to the preset ones. If it weren't for the display, I'd recommend it to everyone.

  • da fone 2 use wen ur grinding and need 2 ge the calls in.. or move weight

  • this phone is simply cheap and usable:)

  • I know it's not the most stylish phone and it doesn't have all the bells and whistles but it has never stopprd working for me. It's like an old car that just keeps going. Dropped it many times and its just keeps going. I'm reluctant to buy anything else when this is still breathing.

  • Not a good phone for hearing disabled persons. Do not use/buy it. I would not recommend it to any client.

  • hi my phone is broken so i want to use my old nokia 1600 until i get a new phone. the problem is that the 1600 has no signal. when i try make call or anything it says: "no network coverage". this has hapend previously and i get it fixed. now the garentee has expired and it is not worth sending it in to get fixed as the phone is very cheap and will cost me about half the price of the phone to get fixed.

  • i m using this phonefrom last 2 years and its very easy to use.

  • I am about to receive two of these phones via Consumer Cellular. I now have a iPhone that I paid to have the ability to work with T-Mobile and my kid has the new Sidekick. Due to T's crappy service I decided to go with Consumer. Here is my question~since Consumer works with SIMS, would I be able to have the SIMS work in my newer phones versus the basic Nokia 1600? Thanks~!

  • Had this phone since October 2006 and never had battery complications....Very convinient.

  • You can also lock the keys by pressing the top left button and the * and then do the same to unlock

  • check out eforcity.com for headsets for the nokia 1600. Also search Nokia 1600 accessories on computer for other possible suppliers.

  • I like this phone. Works great, good battery life and everything works as it should. Phone was free with a $15.00/mo fee to add 300 minutes done every two months ($30.00). What's not to like. But, are there any optional equipment available for this model? Like ear piece so I don't have to hold the phone up to the ear. Does anyone know where to get one or if the phones ear peice ready??? By the way, I found a caring case for belt use at Walmart from Bytech Co. that fits this phone pretty good. Thanks DG

  • u can dial *#5511# to make ur phone normal or restart the phone

  • hey people out there using 1600. u wanna see magic? just dial *#5513# to see it and *5511# to get out of it. enjoy

  • hit the zero button while texting it will space ur letters and create new line

  • i love thi smobile

  • Hey, dont say the phone is hollow. Just get camera fixed in the fon.

  • I think you should buy it. When a Nokia 1600 is give free better take it than buying it with your own money.

  • Good morning from CT. I have an flyer in the AAA magazine that offer a free Nokia phone. Sounds like a great deal to me. Should I or should I not go for It?

  • I am using this phone for past 18 months and it works like a breeze. The most important feature is its "Battery Life" I charge it once in 3 days whereas my other Motorla MPX200 requires charging 2 times a day. I also like its "Cricket" game. It also has Football & Carrom in it.Simple to operate it is a great buy

  • This phone is simply the best. If you are looking for a phone with basic features, then Nokia 1600 is the best. Its cute looking, Handy and user friendly. Overall a great handset.

  • great phone i love that

  • Is a great phone, becoz i also using tis phone.... is nice to carry n use ....

  • ds is a great phone ...... iam using it 4m 1 n half year it has been fallen many times bt still it works super........... thanx 2 nokia

  • the phone is very handy and easy to use with long lasting life. this phone is great!

  • i would say this fon is very good. i had this for more than 3 years already. it withstood falls and abuses. still serves me well.

  • its a good phone if it is ur 2nd/spare phone...i like its battery

  • It really is the perfect phone, and here are just a few tips: -very easy to use. You have all the functions, a mobile phone needs to have: give/recieve calls, send/recieve sms and that`s about it. -it is cheap, you don`t worry if you lose it, brake it, crash it, throw it from a top floor of a skyscraper. -the battery lasts for days; -mine was very resistant to damages, it felt tons of times, and it still works flawlessly; -it`s design is classic, small-sized, everything is where is supposed to be.

  • Good enough, but it sounds empty/hollow (due to the lack of camera/gsm and other normal stuff?!)

  • Nice mobile

  • good phone to use

  • this mobile phone is great. it does what a phone is designed to do.

  • this is a top shot phone!!! .....

  • The worst phone only good for 2 years. a unnessecary edition 4m nokia. Thumbs down.

  • i hate this phone.It can take damage but don,t buy this phone.it is a total waste of 1 dollar.

  • The phone dam cheap. Buy another one nah!! Oh gosh you cheap.

  • it 's realy jakkas phone i like it

  • The phone is very cool indeed but unfortunately mine fell into some water and its battery is no longer holding power for more than 2hours and its backlight is no longer there,how do i fix the problem??

  • It's a good mobile and it is very easy to use.i like it as it is.

  • I have one of these and have just changed network provider.When calls and mesages come through they now show the no. not the name when the caller is someone known to me and in my phone/sim contacts list. How do I get the name not the number to display as I had with previous provider? My ex is BT mobile my new is Orange.

  • I have a nokia 1600 and i love it its so easy to use!!

  • The 1600 is great for my needs if you can find the older 1100 it has better construction especially the keyboard and a flash light that came in handy more often then you might think.

  • oh what a perfect Mobile

  • this my mobile it is very fantastic [img]http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_1600-pictures­-1188.php[img]

  • This is the perfect phone for me .. battery lasts for at least 5 days, droped it many times had absolutely no problem, design is fine .. who needs camera, mp3, gprs and other stuff they will never use go buy another phone .. for the rest of us this is the best phone ..

  • this is the best handset after that NOKIA-1100.it stands 2 marks

  • This is Practically the best, simple easy carry, longer battery life, strong & Reliable. Good For All.

  • It is very smart fone gud battery timing

  • Black is good.Battery talktime is great.Anyway Simple and good design construction by Nokia.Jai Nokia

  • This set has very marvelles battery timing.

  • it might not be fancy, but it works, its small, receptions good, practically indestructable (i've accidentally swam with mine for 10 minutes, got out, took it apart and shook water off, put it together and turned it on, worked perfectly. and its basically free

  • I love this set

  • good for its price and as a first mobile

  • they have them at everydaycell.com for good price

  • i like 1600 my first set broke i want new set how i arrange

  • Fricking fantsastic. I have a busy student life, and in my first year I went trhough 8-9 phones. I then bought this cheap model so if I lost it then so be it. 2 years on I still have it and it still works perfectly, ok albeit a bit scratched but the battery will still last me 3 days. Its a phone, buy a camera and an mp3 player if you want the rest of the stuff.

  • good enuf for normal use.....nothing new..had it 2006, work abuse phone and it held up through rain,snow,heat and london concrete hahahaha...now we have newer phones.

  • how do you get rid of the main screen message that say shome?

  • thats because of the bug mentioned below. apparently the phone cant send any msg if the sent items is full of pending msgs. clear your sent items. the msg shouldnt pop up.

  • I have a Nokia 1600. I can't send any messages from it as a message: Message sending error pop s up then after that a sending message process comes up. How can I have this problem rectified?

  • The latest version of this phone still has the software bug regarding the Sent Items where some messages remain in "pending" status even when they were in fact already sent. Once your Sent Items folder becomes filled with these "pending" items, you have no choice but to MANUALLY delete them one by one or you wouldn't be able to send any more text messages--a bug which has been around for over a year since firmware version 5.00 and was ported to the newer 1xxx series including the 1208/1209/1650 and the 2310. In spite of all the customer complaints, Nokia never fixed it.

  • The message settings are usually sent by your oporator/ network providor. Nokia do not support this phone as settings differ from network to network. Best thing i advise is to call your sirtime providor. Thanks. Lao think the phne is great. Best price, great simple phone and the best speaking clcok for a long time.

  • I have nokia 1600 with Uphone sim .There is an error in its setting . Message is not being send . please if u can help in any way I shall b very thank ful to u There is error in its setting pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese send its message setting. Thanks !!!!!!!

  • I think the phone is great. It's a simple phone. It has a great battery life and good signal. All the basic features are there and I think it's perfect. I don't need all those extras.

  • how do u activate ringtones

  • I hav nokia 1600 with Uphone sim .There is error in its satting . Message is not being send . pleas if u can help in any way I shell b very thank ful to u There is error in its setting please send its message setting. Thanks

  • why in the world do they dont have phone coverings.this phone is not worth my time or money.it is some bull crap!!!

  • I don't understand all the posts on low ring volume. Maybe old ones? Mine is new last week and is the loudest phone I have ever had, loudspeaker and ring and alarm, it actually will get you up, guaranteed. I came from a long line of cell phones from the brick in 1985, to the Sony 900, a Treo 600 and my latest disappointment, the Ipac with Verizon (I now only use it only as my huge contact database as a PDA, as it syncs with Outlook on my computers) as well as over a dozen in between. They nearly all had more features, most were total garbage, didn't work well as a phone, buttons you can't operate well (like my Ipac), they crashed frequently and were slower than molasses, etc. I had my fill of bum technology that is not yet perfected. "The next model will be a good one with the bugs worked out" is never true, it is just as chock full of more new technology that is still not perfected and no good still. Voice calling that does not work, GPS that you need to have lunch while it figures it out, and Internet that takes the rest of the day to download. I just wanted a phone that works well as a phone thank you. My underwater stylus 1030 digital camera is great for REAL photos and REAL movies, and my laptop works for all the rest very well. I could not be any happier now with this phone and service provider.

  • great basic no frills phone. Just what I wanted. Does anyone know how to set your area code so you don't have to enter it when you add numbers? This phone is free with consumer cellular with no contract and a 10$ a month plan, up to 1600 minuets for only $60 bucks and 400 for $30 a month. I love there service and the low cost.

  • Nah, this phone does not have any USB or MP3 stuff. It's a basic phone with basic features. People mentioned the ring volume. The 1st ring is always quiet for somereason, but then every other ring after that is pretty loud. To the dude below. I think the limit is 25meters. I don't think this phone can fly any higher than that. This a good phone - if you are just wanting a basic phone. It last a long time & is very easy to use.

  • My own has both rapid roll and soccer league. I love it, but I want another phone- on with the same features and more- an upgrade so to speak

  • will depend on where the unit is made. some versions have rapid roll while others have mobile soccer.

  • go to bmobile.co.tt for free downloads

  • dose it have the game rapid roll

  • there's a usb port can we upload java games mp3 tones and themes?

  • this is the strongest phone i know sometimes i drop it on purpose just to show my friends how strong it is. most phones when they fall everything comes apart but this phone stays 2gether and does not turn off. i drop it from high heights just 2 c if it will still work and because its so cheap i dont care if it breaks.the current record is 20 meters

  • you don't see the name of the caller because you have DUPLICATE entries for the same number. delete the duplicate, that's it.

  • I want to know about why the sms messages come with the numbers and not the names when they are in my phone? And why cant i get predictive text on my default languge English and otehrs yes.

  • Can we download any ring tone to in this model?

  • Hi, all, please help !! I have the following issue with my Nokia 1600. When receiving an incoming call, I only get the number on my screen even though I have that number and the corresponding name in my phonebook already memorized. I want to have the name on the screen rather than the number !! Can you please help me and tell me what is the setting I should change or what to do ??!! Thanks

  • hi, when i activated a number to the screen list. How do i de-activate it?? the particular number does not have a ringing tone anymore. tried all options including change of name and adding digits to number too.pls help!

  • the nokia ringtone is not loud enough, but i dont miss the calls because of the vibration. I kept my sms ringtone at standard, that works fine for me

  • just got one today and I love it ,every thing I need on this phone.Thanks Nokia

  • An excellent basic phone :) I acquired mine in Taiwan to replace the CDMA unit I lost home in NZ... now am trying to find a CDMA version of the 1600 to replace my crap LG unit. May just ditch CDMA and switch networks! I don't need a camera or an MP3 player - just a properly-engineered phone: Which this is... LOVE it. Yes the ring volume could be louder; but it's still an excellent unit. :)

  • Bart, i use this phone and you have a point about the loudness of the ringtones. Outdoors i use the nokia tune at max volume for my ringtone with vibration activated. For incoming messages i use the 'SPECIAL' message alert tone at max volume with vibration. Try this and see if it helps. The Nokia 1600 is a great basic phone. Lovely comfortable keypad; i just wish the buttons were spaced apart for my big fingers!

  • When u have problems with the names showing in sms and callings, you should go to your phonebook and add the country code to the phone numbers, then the problem will be solved. I love this phone, but the ringtones ar not loud enough

  • a user friendly phone

  • It's not june 2007.. But june 2006. I still got the purchase note. It has been two years & I still want it. I am so want it.

  • I bought two of this unit back to june 2007. After longing for the phone in some time, & read almost all reviews about this phone everywhere. I fell in love with the design & simplicty. Now I'm writing this review from my Nokia E61 using the WiFi feature. It's a free internet. Okay back to the story, when I bought them, one for my gf & one for myself. & then the plan changed, she gave her 1600 to me. So i got two of them myself that time around. So, I gave one of mine to my dearest Dad then. And after some times of happily usage, i sold mine. My daddy still use his 1600 until now (March 2008). Lately I'm badly needed a secondary phone for backup & additional one.. & from other brands and other hundreds of type of mobiles out there, this phone once again comes out to my mind like it was did before.. I really miss this phone, I want to go back to the good old days with my 1600. Yes,it is true. I miss this phone so much. I am planning to get this phone ONCE again, hope the new ones still available at market now. Only Nokia could make me like this. They give soul to each parts components of their phones. Well, maybe not all type.. =) but this one surely takes my breath away. I will go back here later to this opinion area ..IF.. I really buy this unit AGAIN. After two years the phone still makes me considered it heavily. Design is classically simple. & simple is perfect.

  • thais is veery nice piece to handle & carry i love u 1600 my favouirt phone

  • I can't find an option in make the audio louder. Incoming phone calls are hard for me to hear but I can't seem to find a way to increase the incoming voice level. Any answers?

  • "This is a great basic phone which i currently use. The keypad is very comfortable and is one of the best i have ever came across; i only wish it was a bit wider. The ringtones are loud and when i am outdoors i have phone on max volume with vibrate and i never miss calls or texts. The most important features of a phone for me are A COMFORTABLE KEYPAD and LOUD RINGTONES and this phone does the job! The ringtones ascend on this phone but i have not found it to be a problem. If you are want a no frills basic phone then the NOKIA 1600 is for you. Avoid the nokia 1200,1208,1650 phones as their keypads are terrible and the ringtones are not loud enough."Good Point!This is also my opinion,one very good basic mobilphone!

  • if you remove the battery the phone gets restart again the missed calls, received calls,dialled calls, time ,date ,year gets to restart

  • this is a very good phone nice and easy to use fantastic battery life cheak out vodafone site now ! you can buy this handset recondition only �14 inc free delvery :) worth every penny

  • there have been a number of software updates to correct the phonebook name problems. Check the phone software by keying *#0000# (needs a SIM in) If version is less than 07.02 then you may get these problems. A nokia service centre can give you a free update if phone is in its warranty period.

  • Dont know why your SMS's you are receiving are not showing the senders name at the top of the screen. If the persons name is in your phone contacts list then it should show their name when you receive a message from them. I have no probs with my NOKIA 1600.....

  • Can I get a name above my recieved SMS's in stead of just the number of someone in my adress list???? Karel/ Holland

  • This is a great basic phone which i currently use. The keypad is very comfortable and is one of the best i have ever came across; i only wish it was a bit wider.

  • The service manual is online here:

  • This is a good basic phone for someone who just wants a mobile at a cheap price without all the gizmosos. Easy to use and its loud speaker is a boom in noisey enviroments. And most people buy a phone primarly anyway to make calls and texts. On the negative side it doesn't look good. The glassy looking keyset is bad. On looks the similar basic 1112 at the same price beats it by a mile.

  • can i download polyphonic tones via USB port??? plz help

  • This a phone for the person that is not too carefull with phones. Have mine going on two years now and it's been a rough time for this phone. Mine has the scratches and dents to show that it has fallen, been flung and tossed countless number of times. This on the plus has not affected its funtionality one bit. Even though i own series 40 and 60 Nokias which i love dearly, i dear not put them through the thinng that my 1600 went through. Although mine never got into a bucket of water i hear that blowdrer is ll it takes and you're good to go.

  • its really a good fone but one drawback it does not have a fm radio and no gprs,but it is a sturdy phone with a good battery life..........

  • My net10 version of this phone has Rapid Roll, Dice Games, and Adventure Quiz.

  • i had that phone before. very bad condition for those who like to send and receive sms. cause sometime only receive part of sms. it's cant get full sms if more than 2 pages softly.also there are no calendar. so what can we hope by using this phone. not much.

  • bought this the other day on orange brand new for �10. Qual-a-tea

  • This is my current handset, very cheap and sturdy. It lacks of course goodies like camera or mp3 player but as I would never use funtions like that i dont miss it. Some people before me already commented with problems regarding showing the name of a person calling you. I got same problem though ... yet it doesnt bother me that much as I only have it with one person all other persons its fine. Lovely handset if you want a plain and simple one, of course not one for the tech crazy.

  • I have bye a nokia 1600 type:RH-64, Code:0525378, Emei:357946/00/190954/1, CE168. but it is problem in charging. not charging from the common charger only on desktop chorger. plz give me an idia or mehtod to correct the problem. thanks to all of you yours obediently Sultan Zeb

  • I had a problem that whenever somebody called me or sent me a text message, I could see the person's telephone number but not the name of that person - even though that person is clearly listed in my contact list. I later found out that the problem was that I had duplicate names on my phone or sim card contact lists. Once I deleted the duplicates, the problem was solved.

  • month calender not available i think this is a big drawback.

  • i had this fone in 2006 i sold it for 2,500 pesos only and i miss it coz it so cute and handy!!! .... but the features are lame ... and other than that its so cooooooool!!!! ....

  • 1600 is very good phone

  • does 1600 have calander? i bought the phone 3 days ago. seems like i couldn't found any calander in this handset. does anyone know whether it has a calander in it?

  • i like nokia 1600, for me it is much better than my nokia 6630, although it hasn't camera or other functions like mp3

  • this is my 1st & prevailing phone....... i like my phone coz its mine..... voice clearity on call is very good,indeed proven a good deal 2 me.....

  • To emma: try to write the number on your phone book with international code for your country e.g I live in Indonesia, I write 081392xxxxx became +6281392xxxxx. and its work.

  • This was my first phone. Best feture is that it bounces -- try it! This phone will drive you crazy -- DEFO! I'm warning you do not buy unless you are amazed by the concept of a phone that is not atatched to a wire that you can take anywhere. I will put a reveiw for the phone I had after this useless brick which is an LG Chocolate! Feel free to check it out.

  • Why is it that the inbox of this phone doesn't register the name of the sender even if the name is registered in the phonebook?

  • do like this keypad sytle

  • Hi,I have just one problem with this phone-when someone is calling the phone is not showing the name of the person (only number), even though it is in my phone book. Is there a solution for this problem?

  • This Phone is Best and Essy to use for every Body its Simple and Nice....

  • not a bad phone... it cute and small....

  • baddest phone out

  • Ring tones-hahahahaha! I can just imagine myself in the 1950s, when the phone rings brrrrr(an actual bell.) Dang! I wish my phone sounded like a rhinocerous!

  • I got the phone free with a $10 per month service by Consumer Cellular, no long term contract required, 30 days free if you decide to cancel. It seems to be a very high quality phone. I was able to change the ring tone to one I like, store several names and numbers, it works just fine. According to the company, they use locally available connections like Cingular, ATT, Verizon, etc. so should work wherever any other cel works.

  • TO Eliwood THANKS THANKS thanks for answering my question,

  • N-1600 its really good mob ,for value for money.It has good battry capacity.....!!

  • i have this for almost 2 years and i can say it a very good fon. i dropped it more than twice still no problem. very good indeed.

  • I caught Nokia 1600 yesterday . It is a good cell. and agood battery backup Display is so good. A nice fone.

  • Go back to basic. Alexander Graham Bell never intended the phone to take pictures. to play games with, to play music.... etc... the phone is for communicating... that's all there is to it. Period.

  • good phone !! economical. meant for ppl like me who use phones for what it is meant to be used for (calls and sms). :)

  • good and strong phone.but does anyone know the games cheat code?

  • check in market for data cable i heard sum where tht it is available now.

  • this phone is for making calls and sending messages only. no entertainment. no features. no connections. very poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor. i have this phone. i guess when i buy a new phone, i will break this bad phone. baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

  • TALHA, When you write a message, press the button that is in the left of the D-pad. You will see many symbols (&,%,$,@,....etc.). one of these symbols is an arrow that is similar to the arrow in the ENTER button in the KEYBOARD. When you choose this arrow, it will not appear in the message, but it will take you to a new line.

  • of course its a nice phone if you just want to talk and sms... and its so cheep... i have a n73... SE P1i and this nokia 1600... according to my opinion SE P1i is the worse than nokia 1600... because well about this mobile... dont expect much from this... no connectivity. you have a color screen,polyphonic ringtone,you can call and sms...that all..this much in a cheap price

  • I use my cell phone for texting and phone calls. That's all. This is a great phone for those of us who don't need toys, just tools. The battery lasts a long time and it's small size makes it a good fit for my pocket.

  • Simply nice phone, with high speed

  • A question for all users of Nokia 1600 while writing message,how to insert new line as in many others phones when u press the space key for a long time ur cursor automatically jumps on new line,i am waiting for Ur reply thanks in advance

  • potential users of this mobile, in my opinion, are those who just need to txt (sms) and talk. It has no features that would make it a good choice for a pro. (e.g no connectivity)

  • very bad phone...while i erase character quick in my message, this phone actually restart..thats a problem..nokia can't repair my phone..nokia...really bad phone..always produced bad quality..good design, but bad in software...

  • i like this very much

  • nokya1600 phones is so beautiful..it's very handy!!...and so spacious on the pocket!!even anywhere it's so easy to use..so my fellow users please try dis new model,the 1600 phones!!try it,and i guarantee you that you will attain 100% satisfaction.....

  • this is very nice ph........... i love this ph b.kalra

  • you can't get mp3 on this phone... you don't realize it's a pile o' crap compared to whats out there now...

  • Hello i've had this phone for 6 months now and im thinking of getting a camera phone. what would u recommend? plz email me, cause im usually busy. Thanks

  • Nokia 1600 has a great attraction. Its attraction would increase if anybody could tell me that how can i make the person voice loud and low on mobile whome i talk with, by Nokia 1600? If any one would get solution of my problem, May kindly be inform me at my E-Mail address "[email protected]"

  • This phone is so great and affordable! But it would be much greater if anyone can tell me how to add mp3 in my phone..email me please.. Tnx!!

  • cool......

  • Has anyone figured how to load some MP3 files onto this thing? I would love to interupt the snoring in my history class with some live beat.

  • Its a very great phone . My Wife also like tis phone since c the phone. Excellent.

  • its a very nice phone i like this phone

  • Excellent phone ,!!!! I love this phone

  • this phone is one of the best in low edition .. have perfect combination of features.. and rigid too.. good battery .. over all it excellent

  • I really enjoy this handset. It's basic, very purposeful and I love that you can use 918 characters in one SMS. I used to own a camera phone, but I literally never used the camera and only seldom made use of the built-in MP3 player. I enjoy - and highly value - practicality, user-friendliness and to boot, this phone isn't as heavy as some of the basic phones are. It's under 90g. Absolutely love the ridiculously long battery life!

  • Excellent phone ,!!!! I love this phone

  • Stop bit**ing about the mp3 grade tones it is mp3 go to the very end of your ringtone list and look up listen, and come fill me in. Those are mp3 do you not here voices and music. P.S. think about it

  • I love this phone I use it with Net 10 wireless and it works wonderful! I would recomend this fone to people that just want a phone, not an mp3 player and camera. And I don't appreciate people that say things that isn't true on here so if you don't know what your talking about don't say it at all on here. P.S. Think about it!!!

  • Its a good alarm clock!!!!! trinidad&tobago

  • If some one regular use 1600 nice phone!!!

  • its a useless phone my instrument got hanged and restarts itself its just one month old i dont know what to do..............................................­........................any body suggest

  • ideal for people that just want to buy a phone...not a mp3 player/camera....great battery life.....i usually forget when i charged it the last time.

  • The format that the ringtones is saved as is indeed mp3, but the small memory means the files are true ringtones, not songs.

  • No Calender!!!!

  • To Merlin: It has no Mp3 function, and you can see that by the Memory of the phone, has only 4mb... Would be a song of maybe two minutes? It has soundquality of the ringtones what you can compare to MP3-quality... But it has no MP3 function. Sorry to tell you.

  • just a week before only i bought 1600 black .it is really good nice compact mobile with long battery and soft keypad but the problem is some of them saying that it as mp3 but i dont know how to make it. it as a usb point in it. so if anyone knows it please mail me ill be sweet. thankyou so much for reading my opinion

  • My mom got a silver version about a year ago but I purchased the black version today. I'm actually very pleased with the black one. The key pads are much nicer than those for the silver version. I'm quite pleased with this phone so far. It was pretty easy to navigate my way around being a first time Nokia user. I didn't like the backgrounds available though, nor the screensavers. Basically, this is a pretty good low end phone. One thing though, I cannot figure out how to set a new PIN or security code though. Does anyone know how to do this and can you help me to figure out how to set a new PIN/security code?

  • Very usefull for who want's to talk. Can handle massive impact's and still working.! exelent for everybody! Do the same on iphone or others and see the diference... !!

  • would i attach a fm chip in 16oo nokia mobile if it is possible then tell me about how to do

  • wow you guys really dont pay attentiont o the specs, dont you look stuff like this up before buying it? It says it has no MP3, so stop asking. ANYWAY I have a tracfone and im getting mad cuz the units are not as cheap as Net10 (which offers this phone) So i'm looking this one up and it eems to have everything I need, and I'm not going to bitch cuz I cant have MP3s on it, boo hoo i'm a senior in High School and theres everything I need, i dont need a camera on my phone, most of those are bad quality anyway, I just keep my real camera in my purse. I dont need GPS and bluetooth (people with blue tooth things look retarded anyways) comparing this to my current Motorola C139, this seems way better. we'll see though I guess

  • nothing but sms and phone calls

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone has the facility to do up to 10 fixed dial numbers?

  • I recently bought a Nokia 1600 and I really love it except for one thing! IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET A NEW BACKGROUND ONTO IT???? Some websites sais it has mms but I dont know?!!! Ive tried all please tell me there is a way! Any help is appreciated! PLEASE HELP -thank you for reading!

  • Nokia-1600, A good improved replacement for the best old mobile 3310

  • This phone is kinda like the phone that isnt spectacular but still manages 2 do its job in a good sensible fashion =)

  • very nice phone. My dad is using it and too satisfied. It is a fine value for money phone. Simple but satisfactory in all respect.

  • Change earpiece volume by scroll left / scroll right during a call. I bought a 1600 today, as a basic GSM travel phone for Asia. It's compact, inexpensive, and covers the essentials. Was going to buy a 2626 like my hosts have lent me, but I don't use anything other than voice and occasional text, so the 1600 does everything that I need. It even has a better selection of built-in silly ring tones than does my much more expensive other-brand US CDMA phone.

  • does anyone know how to adjust the earpiece volume on this model? I can barely hear the caller on the other end and i have forgotten how to get it louder. thanks.

  • does anyone know how to adjust the earpiece volume on this model? I can barely hear the caller on the other end and i have forgotten how to get it louder. thanks.

  • this is best mobile,,,, i have ever seen,,,so small and handy,,,battery back up is excellent,,,,

  • does this phne have a calender.please inform

  • one of my friends is using this phone ... some people have said this phone got 3g but it aint true ... it doesnt have a cam even ... and no blue tooth no infrared nothing that matches the high tech options that got in a phone these days ... it is a good simple phone with a good battery life and its hard my friend dropped it almost about 30 times for 2 years but nothing happend ... so it is recommended for users who need just a simple phone with no high tech featuers ... by the way it got few mp3 sound quality ringtones but u cant install anything to it such as ur own mp3s and stuff ...

  • this is th best phone in the world, its small, cute, handy and my fiancee got it for me

  • it is a nokia best colored cell with very low cost. it is good compare with other sets.

  • it is good and the games is good but the most importent problem is that it has not any infrared or bluetooth...

  • Good budget phone, nice games, beautiful design, but the display is very small.

  • does it have a radio i mean FM

  • Super cheap steam driven phone, level of 1980. Baaah...

  • this phone was really nice before the phones with bluetooth an infared came out

  • Best talk&text phone ever! Long lasting battery, comfortable keys, nice design, GOOD sound quality, sounds like mp3 although its not. Best for people who don't need all the modern gadget's in a phone.

  • Cool phone with just what is needed to make a complete phone,as in no extra crap that makes you waste your time, airtime, keypad and charge.

  • the phone was cool it's just that it doesnt have a calendar. or does it have? if there is where can i find it?

  • its actually cool but i couldnt download songs from my pc.

  • Nice handset 3g bluetooth hsdpa,wireless battery,nos,fuel injecion.Torpedo intercooler with hyperthreding 64 bitt cpu.geforce 20 graphics.awesome.rear projecting display.20000 watt 5.1 surround sound

  • it is a nice one

  • @Sarja black is a good decision, use some silicone spray on it (for car torpedos) and it will shine perfectly.

  • great phone .it has 3g, wi-fi and java,series 40 phone

  • The best rough use phone in its class....njoy..

  • it is batter to receive calls or dial calls, only . otherwise wastage of money.

  • if we want to embedd mp3 ringtones in it it is useless... this is bas

  • They're quite popular in Trinidad & Tobago. It's a good phone for the price... very durable and dependable as well!

  • I have taken N1600(black) just 3 days back. I have to say its a great Low end phone. Here I like Mr.sarp and Mr.desruez's Debate, Actually m using 2 sets, N3250 and N1600. I myself like 1600 as a phone, and use 3250 mainly for cam , music and internet. I tke 1600 always,I suits with every dress, any casual or formal dress:-O 1600 is great for CHARGE and sms, call. I can type here v fast. N1600 is a great phone for rough and toygh use. But the high end phones are mainly for Sophsticated use. My opinion is to use both high and low end phones, Low end phone for regular use and high end phone for special use_at any ceremony or party,dont very necessary for day 2 day life. thnX # sarja #

  • i drop it atleast 5 times a day.. and its still working.. haha

  • to Desruez; i use most of the symbian phones, a k790i and a 8800 in last two years.now i do not need to carry a super heavy, multi functional phone.if i don't need these gadgets, they are garbage for me.

  • Mr. sarp, dont ever say again that camera and mp3 is garbage,... If one day you buy a k750i or sth like that, you'll see ;)

  • best only-phone i hava ever seen. -appr. one week stand-by -clean speaker voice -handsfree (good while driving) -no unnecessary garbage like camera etc.

  • I had use Nokia 1600 for about 1 year and a half. Quite strong the steel of the cover even i dropped it for many times acidently and threw it when i getting mad with friends as well but it still stand still with everything that it had.

  • its a gud phone the only problem i got was it began discharging, any technician with a solution, tried power amp, nah...

  • i got this fone for nearly a yr now nd all i can say is...man its a steel fone...i've dropped this fone more than 10 times nd still dis fone operates as if nothing has hppd so if ur clumsy than this is da fone to buy coz its made up of steel lol

  • Yes Nokia 1600 is qiet a gud Fon. I have made my mind towards other Fons and get a 1600. Am buying it today after using my friend's for a while. Guys buy 1600 now it affordable.

  • I saw 'a kind of' USB connection in the bottom of the phone, is there any kind of data cable will suit this USB plug? Thanks.

  • Its not very easy to personalize, but it is a reliable phone. cannot find many covers, no extra ringtones to d/l for the net10 version i know of. I do miss the LED flashlight on my old NOKIA. for the dependability, and affordability, it is the best phone for my bucks.

  • i think this is the coolest phone i've ever seen. It is damn fast of all nokia series phones. It is very cheap. I could type a long message and send to anyone within seconds. Earlier nokia 1100 was the one with fastest messaging capability. I bet this set has beat all of it. Moreover, user interactivity is mind boggling. It has some cool features such as themes, speaking clock, navigations, games etc which are way too good for a low class phone. I have put my 1600 4 times now (ofcourse not intentionally) and you dont feel anything. Overall rating (for low range models) : design : 9/10 features : 10/10 performance : 11/10 (he he he)

  • This is a very good phone, long lasting battery, cool design ( especialy the black one ), nice games, good signal and sound, the only problem is it's keypad, but at this price you can't ask for perfection. I recomend this phone to anyone that doesn't need modern gadgets !

  • most ruf and tuff phone

Its light, fast navigation, good battery life, composer, you can view all your reminders in one page, it takes only one click to start typing your sms, not like other phones which asks you so many questions before you can type. Love it!

  • I love my 1600 very much. To me it's the best low end phone around. If only i knew how to add mp3

  • I'm very happy with my Nokia 1600. I bought it because I needed a phone that lets me talk to the person I dial. That is it. I don't need a PC, radio, camera...I have all that. I don't wear it on my hip or flash it around so it does not even have to look cool. This phone delivers. Plain, basic, simple, inexpensive, calls in and out...Everything I need.

  • I just got a Nokia 1600 yesterday, it's actually a light, basic, simple mobile with a very solid program.

  • I have never owned a Nokia before and i decided to try it as i was looking for a phone that makes and receives call.If this is an indication of what Nokia is like then the've just got another customer.Its a good basic phone and thats what i wanted.If i need to take photos i'll buy a camera,and i've got a hifi at home,car,etc.

  • The Nokia 1600 is brillinat, i love the feature of being able to set the time and date of when it sends a text message, e.g, you can set to send a message of your choice, at 15:00 10/12/2009 if you like, and it will do it!!! , the more expensive phones do not have this feature.

  • HI, Nok1600 is a compactable model , eventhough it does not hav many facilities it looks attractive .. the one who is not usin gprs , audio , video can go thr tis handset ..the one who wish to buy a color handset in a cheeper rate can go thr tis mobile ..

  • this is the worst model i ever seen in colour handsets. eventhough this is cheap it is not good with out any facility. this is like eating chicken by placing the hen in front of dining hall. so better go for other handsets in colour.

  • I bought this phone last week it's great but I have a problem with the ring tone volume I can't hear it, they told me that I have to update the software version, should I do it to solve the problem? please respond I don't know what to do.

  • nokia 1600 is the most comprehensive and easy to use set...its so simple set...its battery time is excellent ...its take 5 to 6 days ....normal use...i like its black body shape ....it has many advantages first is most important that when call by this phone its going first attempt and u would not doing any long time wait to connect.....i like its battery life.....and signal power ....its has many problem but some points are defect...one of all is that it has no wallpaper...its color is not so good...and screen is short.....but defect points are few Vs its advantages i hope u allz use this model 1600 ....i rate it A....faysa khan......from pakistan

  • i enjoy using this phone... its so cute and easy to use

  • i think this phone is fantastic for the price

  • i agree with all of you it does serve its purpose but it has no features. although i like the sound because its quite loud and the screen on its not to bad besides the fact that the games and graphics on it are cheap. i like the design without the flip on it but a camera would be nice. overall it a nice cheap phone if alls you care about is talking and texting!

  • I think it's a great, convienent cell!It's easy to use and has exellent reseption!I love this one!!!I think everyone should use it!!!

  • Is the best ah come through.

  • yep, same problem here. Is there a way to load ringtones?

  • I have always owned NOKIAs form the "Brick" to the "Comunicator" and by far this is the cheepest lightest one I have come accross I thingk this is another keeper like the 5190i Granted little or no features but it serves the perpose it was designed for EXCELLENTLY (making and recieving phone calls) Yeh they could have added one or two aditional practical features but I think that is why they have orher modles. The only problems I have with it is to get my own mp3 qaulity ring tone and it should have included MMS and WAP currently it is the only GPRS phone in jamaica that isn't MMS or WAP capeble

  • I am Dhiru from INDIA, I am using this cell from last 1 year and I think it's a simple phone without GPRS, MMS etc. and I think it is better then others in battery backup. I want to know that How can I reset the call durations of my phone(Nokia 1600).

  • i was able to get a brief look at the phone. it has extra slots for new ringtones. i also saw a composer. is there a way to load new ringtones without having to compose them?

  • I basically like this phone. It is easy to use and has great volume. It only takes 3 hours to charge and doesn't have to be charged every day which I hate in a phone. The volume is so good that I can be on hold and can hear without using the speakerphone. I have never had any problems with any of the Nokia phones I have owned. Nokia and reliability are synonymous. I don't have to have to have the coolest ring tones.

  • Increase or decrease the volume with right/left navigation keys during calls. :)

  • fantastic cheap phone and it bounces

  • I wanted a simple but cool phone to replace my seT610 and this fit the bill. Can someone tell me how to increase the vol while making calls, it's kinda low. Batt life isn't bad either, but can't compare to my se. Good phone though for the money.

  • i love this fone:)) get me the KY DAWG!!!

  • in nokia 1600there is one port, apart from charching and earphone part. thereis one like usb port. what is the uses of the port.

  • Hey Guys I was fan of nokia. but after getting these ugly phones like 1110,1600,6030 I was very disappointed because by default they set the ringtone in ascending. so we cant listen missed call or messege tone in noisy areas.plezzzzzzzzze dont by these phones. and display is very cheap.as compare to Sony Ericsson. dispay. ugly softwares. I hate nokia now.

  • Dont get this the n2310 is the same price but it has a fm radio.

  • Hi, I have 1600.. its main problem is its ring tone comes only in ascending so its very hard to keep it for messages as we dont hear it.. a nice mobile.. it has a usb port like one in 6030 but it wont work.. so dont buy the usb cable of 6030.. its very use to use and a user friendly mobile...

  • Answer: Dual Band. Sold in two versions. Version 1 > 850 & 1900 (MHz) for the USA. Version 2 > 900 & 1800 (MHz) for the rest of us in the real GSM World. ET.

  • i really dont think they should have this phone on the market it dosent have any features.

  • fm radio is not there

  • is this phone tri band or dual band

  • please i dont know how to dowload mp3 music to my phone but i lent it is possible .pls any body with usefull information should inform me.

  • please i dont know how to dowload mp3 music to my phone but i lent it is possible .pls any body with usefull information should inform me

  • please i dont know how to dowload mp3 music to my phone but i lent it is possible .pls any body with usefull information should inform me

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone can be used to text using the Cyrillic (russian) alphabet?

  • Good afternoon, I have remark or question to olve a problem I have incountered. I have purchused this phone and found out that the clock is not working properly, after I synchronized the time with other wathes, it falls behind atleast 15 to 20 minutes. I had this phone change at my local cell store for another one, thinking that maybe this happened 1 in 1000 times. But for my surprice this phone also falls behind. I have not inform this to my local dealer yet. I want to know, do have this same problem to?? Is it something that can be fixed??? Thank you for reading my message.

  • whats everyone moaning about screen size and pixels and mp3s and the like for? can anyone remember when a phone was made for phoning people? well thats what the 1600 does, and does very well, so get one of these instead of throwing money away on a phone that takes sub standard pictures and pretends to be a pc.

  • Well this phone is not bad charge time is fine. I have got one cable but u know the problem is i didnt got any suitable data cable and the software provided by the cd doesnt support the phone. I show connected but i cant copy any contact or data

  • I accidentally dropped my Nokia 1600 from about 5 feet down to a rough concrete ground. It landed on its left corner topside, bounced and landed again on its bottom center. These two hit portions showed very shallow pencil-point dents. On closer inspection I also noticed tiny lines of cracks: one on each side and one on each top corner, including the left topside corner where a dent appeared (a total of 4 barely imperceptible cracks.) Other than these, the phone remained intact with no loosening of parts. Unlike my previous Nokias where battery covers and the batteries themselves separated on impact during a fall, the 1600 remained whole. All functions stayed as they should be. No squeaks, no mechanical noise. The parts remained tight and in perfect fit. For this reason alone I give the 1600 a perfect 100% in durability for its class. It is very well built!

  • The port at the bottom indeed allows a cable to be connected. The question, is whose cable? The answer, your service provider's cable. They use this to program the phone, lock it your service provider's network, update it, diagnose it, troubleshoot it, and configure the phone. In short, you, the subscriber is not supposed to tamper with it. This is for the service provider's use only. Of course, if you are savvy enough you can find a cable and software to digitally look inside your phone and reprogram it as you see fit.

  • There seems to be a port for a data cable on the bottom. I cannot find any information about a data cable anywhere, but there has to be one! Anyone got any info on this?

  • What means "mp3 grade tone" exactly? It's not a real mp3 format so what is it? please send me answer

  • After 6 years an accident destroyed my cherished old and reliable Nokia 3210 which I held on to until then despite being ribbed by my friends to change it. Never one to be impressed with "popular features" (GPRS, in-camera phone, mp3, bluewhatever, WAP and WAPnot) I shopped for the simplest, most basic, Nokia and came up with Nokia 1110, 1110i, 1112 and 1600 alternative choices. I choose 1600 not because it came with a color screen but because the keyboard is noticeably more rugged than the 11xx-series. Now I am impressed with the rugged build, elegant look (I chose black) light weight, and excellent battery life of my new 1600. And I believe the color screen is not too bad for my tastes either! This is a worthy replacement for my 3210 and as usual it came with Nokia's ease of use and direct to the point functionality. For those who are looking only for a reliable, fucntional phone without the bells and whistles , I highly recommend the Nokia 1600. Kodus Nokia for a fine product!

  • What means "mp3 grade tone" exactly? It's not a real mp3 format so what is it? :)

  • What means mp3 grade tone exactly? It's not a real mp3 format so what is it?

  • fantastic phone,traded a 2 day old sony ericsson j210 to get it.actually does what you tell it to.light and compact and superb standby time (2 days).easily survives falls and large text capacity.with Nokia its a money back guarantee,Bestsellers in Kenya!

  • It's good enough for the target buyers of the product. Simple enough to use. And please don't tell people to not buy phones just because you had it fixed for the nth time...it's just luck, there always will be a rotten apple in a bunch. Kudos to nokia.

  • hi frnds someone plz tell me how can i download rngtones on this mobile

  • i need mp3 tone for nokia 1600

  • well well well... n1600 is a simple yet excellent phone... i had this for 10months already and for me it's something special... very basic...very light...you'll appreciate it's simplicity...good loudspeaker...good battery life... i also have a nokia 3230 but i find n1600 better...heheheh it doesnt have any camera nor mms... but i still find it great... very easy to use...very sleek... but the only thing i don't like about this phone is the demo mode and the chinese calendar which i don't normally use...that's it... and just wanna ask guys...which color cover would be the best one coz i never change my gray cover... which is which...i will appreciate your replies.... thanks

  • this mobile is so beautiful looking.i want to advice those people who want to buy so light,cheap mobile so they should buy this one.

  • What means "mp3 grade tone" exactly? It's not a real mp3 format so what is it? :)

  • Just switched over to Nokia 1600 after a bad experience with Sony Ericson K 300i. Good as a basic phone. Unfortunately cannot set date on screen....no shortcut to switch to silent mode and vice versa.... difficult to compose text for sms as it is a long step to activate dictionary for a few lines of message. Can we over-ride the existing shortcuts with other options e.g instead of demo - which has only little features, with e.g alarm setting etc Getting to learn more. Will write in later

  • how can I download ring tone to my set.I.e the real website that I can get the ringing tones.And I need the lastest ringing tone.Please I will like you to send me the steps that I will go through.stay cool

  • this is good but the thing is that it doesnt fm or web facility.this is good to use

  • this cellphone is a great phone. i have it now and all my classmates in school always borrow it because of their favorite game on my cell that is rapid roll. nokia 1600 is a phone that is easy to use and affordable. but the thing is you cant listen to music with it. but its great.

  • Nokia 1600 is a great lower end colour phone. It is for busy people and starters who wanted to use mobile phone as just a phone. There is enough ring tones, themes. Overall performace is very good. Price too is very attractive..you can go for it.....Aravaazhi

  • its gud but da thing is it does not have FM!but its a really gud mob. espcially my favorite game snake & rapid roll!!!

  • This phone is a cheap end unit, that gives you your moneys worth, by 10 times what you would have put out, so that makes it one of NOKIA's best cheap end phones, with all the necessary functions that any simple phone user can ask for. I'LL give NOKIA a 10 out of 10 on this unit. GO BRAVE AND BUY ONE.

The sounds are great, it sounds like mp3 tones.. i love it..and what's awesome about it, it has a talking clock... very funny!

  • why i am using data cabil in 1600

  • Its doesnt have JAVA...i cant play games on it.

  • It's a very nice and portable phone,the price is cool and the ringtones are very good.It could have been mega if it had got radio and GPRS, but all the same its a cool phone. I love it.

  • Hallo, this is my first NOKIA phone ! The price / quality relation is very good. The battery life is exceptional - 11 days ( but I speak only 10 minutes / day ) , the menu is friendly, acoustic good too. I recommend this phone for those who need an simple phone ( without WAP, GPRS, camera ec. ) with very good battery life. Good luck to shopping !

  • I buy the phone, I like the phone, the phone, she is very nice!!!!

  • its good but display is not very impressive. FM Radio is also missing. but keeping in view its price it is better than other companies mobile

  • I'm presently using Nokia 1600 but mine is different from others. My dad bought it for me at Lagos, Nigeria. He didn't check it up before taking it away. My phone doen't have games, you can't send ringing tones to another phone (after composing). Pls, how do I rectify these problems?

  • i've bought this phone like a year ago...and i'd say that this phone is THE phone for the people who want one that TALKS..no more..just chattering..practically, the phone was very good to me in its main function...NOTHING MORE!!..the phone is so boring!! i cant put anything on it!...no wallpapers, no ringtones...nothing..(plus all of the other stuff like BT, GPRS,...etc)...

  • in small money very good cell phone, but there is one thing missing in it, FM STEREO,,,,,,,,,what i say more , NOKIA is NOKIA,,,,,,,,, better then other Company.Thanks

  • disply is very bad & poor.

  • hi..i bought this mobile days before...it has no gprs n very poor display n display is also small....n wot is the use of the 4mb space...can u mail to me at [email protected]

  • excellent

  • Found so many ppl ask about the ringtone and pics download.I can tell you is without any method to download such stuff,confirm.Polyphonics ringtone only available with built in ringtone only cos no MMS support,no BT,no infrared and no cable support.you can use 6030 cable to connect to pc but its useless.we have verified for a long time already,it dont support cable connection.no driver support

  • This phone is really working about 16 days on the batteries, but it's too simple for today's people. No UMTS, no MMS, no Java, no GPRS, no Camera, no USB, no IrDa, no BlueTooth, you can't even download new ringtones or wallpapers.

  • hi i bougth this phone 4 months ago in kenya i think is avery good phone putting in mind that tha price is fair for all thenx nokia for coming up with such agood idea

  • I got this phone few mounts ago and I am realy pleased with it I talk about 8-9 days, loudspeaker is great so do the speaking clock and the display is fine exellent phone, good price for people who need to talk. if you want pictures mp3 melodies buy yourself a digital camera and mp3 player. they will make better pics and sound than any phone on the market.

  • how do you obtain ringtones, games and mxit on your fone at cheap prices and how do i send a picture message that can go thru? thank you

  • Lovely looking phone but is there any way of downloading Polyphonic Ringtones. Why the empty spaces in the Ringtones menu and Polyphonic Ringtone capability if you can't download anything to it. I don't ask much from a mobile fone as I'm not the most technically minded person in the world but the ability to personalise it would be nice. If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful as I'm tearing my hair out at the moment. Thanks

  • how do you download stuff on to the fone, for what is the 4mb memory than.

  • how does on obtain new pictures,games,tones from the net when there is no computer wire

  • Buy a REAL phone if you want photos.. this one is just for talking ;)

  • I�m really disapointed because you have empty spaces to download ringtones but you can�t download them on the internet. If someone has an idea to this problem please tell me. thanks

  • very good mobile for work compairing with its price.

  • I recently bought this phone and i'm very happy with its features.It has a loudspeaker,nice games,good colour display,talking clock,Demo option and its not expensive at all :D i'm really loving this phone :D

  • jus got this phone must say im dissapointed that i cant find any ringtones for this i thought this was new phone sadly as nothing s availble i might has well kept my other one ... nothing on the sites compatible for ringtones or anything poor

  • its a simple but well-designed cell phone. The slim battery is amazing. The recieving capabilities are also outstanding as compared to the samsung x-600, which I used before this one. You dont have to worry that it will hang.

  • Hi, I've bought this handy 2 weeks ago and I really like it. It's really efficient, just what you need to call, just Perfect

  • RE: Call summary: Yes, it displays a counter while calling and a total time summary after you hang up. Not enabled by default, just turn it on in the options.

  • I wanted to know that does this cell phone displayes the time ealpesed during the call. I mean the call duration during the call

  • This is lovely little work/backup phone. No BS and great performance. I picked up a near new one for my business needs on eBay for just AUD $30 with a case but I notice they retail for only around AUD $60-$70 now anyway. Whilst it�s true that the phone is lacking some significant contemporary features, you have to understand that this phone was never intended to be a fashion accessory or necessarily replace your own personal full featured phone. I'm not sure how some people come to expect so much from such a low priced phone The battery life is simply amazing, even better than my Sagem which was pretty outstanding in itself. I've left it on 24/7 for over two weeks now (16 days to be exact) after its first charge and it's only just starting to flash its low battery warning at me. Admittedly it hasn�t seen very heavy use, only about one phone call a day on average, but 16 days is pretty bloody good regardless. The interface is fast and responsive but can feel a little cramped on what is quite small screen. The reception is good, as far as I can tell, and easily on par with my sagem, which has proved itself better than all of my friends� phones. Since there�s bugger all connectivity out of the box, you'll have to make do with the provided wallpapers and tones, but there�s enough already on the phone to suit most people. I have encountered no problems whatsoever. No bugs and no weird behaviour. I keep it in a simple protective case which prevents most accidental key tapping. Reasonably elegant design. Well it�s not an ugly phone anyway. It�s not particularly light, similar to most phones of the same type I�ve handled. It�s well proportioned. Reasonably thin, similar length and width to most other open phones. Pretty sturdy overall. I don�t have to worry too much about dropping it. In summary, if you're after a no BS work, backup or personal phone that simply needs to make calls and send messages than this is probably ideal for you. Stellar battery life, simple and responsive interface, good reception and a price tag that means it'll only cost you a little pocket change. Can�t go wrong really.

  • its me again! twice while i was using it it just reset its self and i dont know y it did it can some one please email me ! thx

  • A phone with features that are essential,nice price also. Only missing the Calender.Be careful if turned off an putting into a bag or pocket, it can turn on easily.

  • Pls if u can make the earlier discribed fone to be half the thickness of the nokia 1600 and bigger screen and can take two different SIM cards,u pple at nokia will look for me and thank me very much cos somr pple carry two handsets.

  • My people at nokia,u have done very well to have brought into the market this wonderfull fone.it just has everything i need in a fone,that is being able to edith from my fone book,seiing my call time as i talk(which is very important to me while calling) and most of ALL THE ALMIGHT SPEAKER WHICHconcludes the package. Pls try to create another 1600 withh all the current features AND INCLUDE CAMERA AND MULTIMEDIA FEATURES so we can download anything from internet.The memory should be very big also. Pls mail me when u have such a fone. Emmy

  • i have just got this fone and so far it is pretty good it is much better than my last one (sony ericsson t105) and it is nice and simple :)

  • Verry nice new phone from nokia, really functional, the menus are intuitive, and it looks nice in black. The display is preety poor , but apart from that it's a good cheap phone ! By the way , the nokia 6030 mini-USB cable is also compatible with this phone !

  • I like the phone nokia 1600 very very much.I admier it also.But the only defect of this set is that we cannot download anything from computer. There is a place given for DATA CABLE but it is unavailable in market as well as on web. So i need one.It has also nat a GPRS.Thank You APURVA

  • i liked all that is in the phone but the only thing is it is not possible to download any wallpaper it will be good if the nokia company soon release a datacable for downloading or give any other option as soon as possible

  • i had one.very basic useful and creative i love the speaking clock and also its distinctive way of changing the colour aspect of the wallpaper and screensaver themes helps me to match my outfit to the screen on my phone love the user friendly 1600.

  • I bought this phone a few days ago. If you just need very basic upgrade from an older mono screen, monophonic ring tone phone then it is a good buy. You can't download ringtones or anything to it but if you need something that sends and recieves sms's and calls then I would highly recommend it.

  • This phone is garbage.. :-| no mms..no download.. no gprs no infrared no cable connection posibility .. >> 2005?!?!? daaamn... :-& You've got to be stupid to buy his unit..

  • I have had one now for 6 months. Its as bsic as they come I have been unable to download anything with it. It is also very easy to switch it on by accident which is not good if you take it on a plane. I am trading in shame I do like the size and style but .... say no more

  • Very basic phone. I really like it but bought a data cable and can't get ringtones, wallpapers nothing for it. I did go and buy it knowing that but got conned into buying the cable. Will take it back and get my $$$ back...the cable not the phone!

  • For those of you asking data cable for this phone. Check out this link. I Don't know if it works, but they say it is for model 1600 too.

  • Looks great...works good, prize great...aplications...worse than the new phone generation. U can just buy one and be fashionable for 3 months or buy one and use it for 3 years. Your choice!

  • It is looking sexy.I like it. But it doesn't has GPRS. tell me where it's data cable available.Thank u

  • it is a good phone but it has a very small display

  • No, I have a Sony Ericsson T300 and it's the dogs knackers, a much better phone than Andy's pile of faeces. Mine has and alarm clock and everything !!!

  • I thought this fone woz mega! I originally had a 3210 but this is much easier to use, so Masculine in desine as well..Its much better than my work collegue Nicks fone. LOL

  • its costlier.....!as for the same price ...ericsson's j210i will be available with gprs enabled and some more other features...

  • I just bought this movil for my MOM . My mom simply like this mibile .Awesome man .....wonderful performance ,amazing graphics. Thanks Nokia Dhruv Berry. 9873413621

  • This is a good phone.. if all you need is a phone that makes calls and you can text occasionaly. If you have had a Nokia before then you might be dissapointed with this phone as they have obviously made this a budget phone by cutting costs on the screen. It is small, has large pixels and doesn't have the same Nokia standards as other models. If you have a larger budget then I would reccomend a more expensive Nokia just because you get what you pay for. Advantages are that it is light, relativley small with an average battery life. Overall it is a god little phone but you do get what you pay for.

  • why no gprs, java??

  • Hi, Nokia 1600 has a very sexy appereance. I hope everybody will like it.

  • 1 awesome lil fone Thanx Nokia

  • I too need the same details... if u recieve then mail me at [email protected] Thanx... Prashant

  • Yes i have brought this mobile todays back.Its such a great and cute phone.I liked it very much.Thanks nokia.Thanks

  • Any Body that can send me any music to my Nokia 1600 because i had just but it and i need a compose somebody to help me with that and i really love it.

  • individuality remember that

  • i think that this tell is the best one for those who don't need a camera and mp3 player to their phones. and the battery lasts up to 9 days !!!

  • in the best low price movil.....

  • This model is not to bad, however very difficult to send SMS, and not so friendly like Model 1100. Only think I like is nice color screen and nice polyphonic ringtones and loadspeaker. However who just have a little budget I recommend 1100 better!

  • it stinks display is 2 small and its no good get a k300 or 1100 instead

  • the phone shop rox!!!

  • Good phone it has speakerphone too, good display, and phonebook, lightweght and good battery life and at only 59 euro, it's my phone!

  • Can anyone tell how to get or download... 1. Polyphonic Ringtones 2. Wallpapers 3. Data Cable

  • Hi, if I want to download mp3 ringtones-should I open a feature on the nokia 1600 or do I need a cable. if so, why didn't I get a cable with my phone package?

  • this is a pretty good basic phone, i just got it yesterday and its small and nice though a larger fonebook capacity would've been nice. the screen is tad small but its readable, the large fonts try to make up for the screen size. though its got no gprs and wap if al u need is a basic call and tell mobile phone, this baby will do....but i mainly use it as my back up fone only.

  • I have a new Nolia 1600. I will appreciate if you kindly let me know if I can download some free english songs as ringtone & christian wallpaper. If so, please give me the webside etc. Thanks.

  • Hope this info will help to whoever who is thinking of buying this phone. Had this phone since it came out of the market. Pros: 1) Great polyphonic ringtones. 2) Long battery life, around 1-2 weeks. 3) Large sms memory, around 80-100 smses. 4) It has a composer to play with. 5) Unlike other phones, it has a feature of speed dialing to sms. You can choose between calling or smsing when you use speed dialing. 6) Small, easy to use, friendly user. Cons: 1) Well, no gprs and wap, u cant download ringtones, games and wallpapers. 2) Very big fonts, 4 lines per sms. 3) Not enough pixels, you can see pieces of pixels on the screen. 4) It doesn't have a calender, worse still, you can only type around 30-50 characters, its too short. 5) Too little choices of ringtones to choose from as you cant download them. 6) I don't know if other users experience this, but sometimes this phone will automatically switch off by itself while you are using it. It will on back by it self anyway. 7) Cant keep many numbers under one name.

  • cheap and cheerful,what more do you want.

  • it's nice... i just dont know if i can have mms pictures and poly phonic tones..

  • its a pretty good basic phone, no complaints. I've always had good things with nokia..this is my third phone...and its works and suites my needs very well..just want to make and receive calls. good battery life and nice,but big display.

  • hmm.. at first i really liked this phone when i bought it. Its features are some what remarkable. But later i found out that this phone cant download ringtones,mms..etc.which is very sad. and i dont know why they say that its battery lasts long cz my phone's battery only lasts half a day.i get tired of charging it again and again. So now im very disappointed of buying it. and if there will be no data cable for 1600 to come out in the market, i will throw this phone cz its useless. they had placed a slot for the data cable in the phone but they did not provide for the cable?. I hope Nokia will provide a cable for 1600.

  • For all those people who are complainig about phones not having camera or other nonsense they put these days in phones, go away, stop wasting your time posting here. Go and buy an expensive phone who has "everything" and forgets about making calls. With the money you give for N70, for example, you can buy a good digital camera , a decent MP3 player with enough memory, a phone like Nokia 1600 and still leaves you with a litlle change in you pocket. Now, about this phone, good built quality, light, fast UI, excelent batery life, good reception, and chep cheap cheap. Stop wasting your money people, buy a phone. that's it

  • 0wh my God.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!my phone!!!!!!!!the function was not too bad lorrr....ok maa....such a cute phone...

  • just bought the phone yesterday, had a great deal for it too.. =) the phone's features is nice and have nice sounds.. compact and light, battery life is great.. i have no complaints whatsoever.. its a nice phone for people who doesn't look for a high end phone..

  • iam confused about how to download ringtones(polyphonic).1600 can download mp3 tones?i am very sad & tension. please help me.......

  • I would say with this phone, you could get Mp3 tones via data cable, not sure what type of data cable that would be needed. but if you go to a local phone shop then you are seek advise for this phone and what data cable would be needed. If the phone support other features like SD cards or IR, or blue tooth then you could transffer Mp3's via those functions. Any more help?

  • I want to buy this phone. I'm not interested to buy a phone with camera. I want that my phone to have mp3 ringtones...can I use mp3 ringtones on 1600? i need a data cable to put mp3 on this mobile? what kind of data cable? help me pls ps: sorry for my english!

  • Got this phone from a month and I love it.Great sound, EXELLENT battery(7-8 days with 20-30 min talking time per day), loudspeaker- all you need for talking. No MMS support but the SMS is made quite well, over 30 picture massages and lots of options.

  • they made another nonsense phone in a very expensive price...no MMS no GPRS so whats the good about this phone....they only wasting a good design...

  • Hello everyone. I see that some people just can't imagine that some phones (2310, 1600 etc.) haven't common features like mms, vga camera or wap. Well imagine that EVERY model of phone has its target consumer. So don't bother with messages like "What a crap - it has no wap" :) A little more open mind would be a relief for me and others. Take care.

  • This is a really good phone. and the best part is that it is selling in Trinidad for $100.00 TT, that is $16.75 US!

  • This is best phone ever made! If you need a CELLULAR PHONE that is. If you want luxurious mini-pc organiser, than you would consider this phone junk, and probably buy something like Sony-Ericsson k750i. But for me this is just PERFECT!!!

  • Cool phone with all the features you need and a great battery. Great phot if you need it to talk, if you want wallpaper melodies mp3 movies games buy yourself a notebook computer !!!!

  • Can someone erite me about the mp3 function of the fone?Is it a "mp3"-ringtone or just ringtone with quality of mp3.Please tell me if somebody has experienced this.10x

  • This Is A Lodro Set. Not Download Any other Thing as ring tones and wallpapers ... and Its LCD is so poor as like Sony Ericsson T230 and T290 so kindly do'nt buy this hand set.

  • it is one cool set but plz tell does it have a data cable or does it supports it.

  • its 21 st century. nokia should be caring about its low end cell users,they really should provide mms,wap and irda with it at this price!

  • The phone is perfectc with a reasonable price and good features. battery life is superb. I think the only problem with this phone is it's design and montage quality, the montage quality is lower than other nokia phones. but the phone is great it's one of the most perfect cellphones nokia ever produced.

  • Only a basic phone with features not more than 3310 or 3315. But price is high compared to them.

  • The manual enclosed with my Nokia 1600 is not detailed.I find it difficult operating the keyguard code. Ps help.

  • me willing to buy one phone/but confused between 1600 and 2600/can u give me the answer friends/one comment heard that sound is very low to hear from other end/whether it is true

  • whao, the Nokia 1600 is very nice, I love it so much that I have to abandon my other phone go for it. That is what I use now and it is good. Beautiful

  • This Nokia 1600 Mobile Data Cable is not available in market. Why?

  • nice phone for basic use and not frustrating.

  • Nokia 1600 its nice phone but for simply useing the ringtones its great and the design it very nice no cable data avaliable but when it will be avliable u can download tone with amr or wave format u can send picture messages to ur phone and receive from your friends too and u can send ringtones to your mobile phone but mono ringtones the mobile phone contains of 4 mega byte memory to store on it every thing u want,this after get your cable data from the shop thats all bye

  • Hai!stylish cell but The resolution of the screen is very low,and there is no wap,gprs,data cable.cannot download poly tones or something like that.What i wanna know is the data cable is available or not.

  • no GPRS??? how to download??? waste of money buy this phone!!!

  • ok, i sort of realised why. because 1600 and 2600 dont support mms and gprs, so there is no official way u can get any of your own midi files inside the phone......thats really a pity for those who wants to use your own poly tone in the phone. however there may be other special 'unorthodox' methods which i dont know....

  • i dont understand why 1600 and 2600 dont allow the use of our own downloaded polytones, when they have the ability to play polyphonic tones. only able to download monotones. while phones like 3120 and 6610 can download polyphonic, its only 4-chord polyphonic, which is rather restrictive. well, better than nothings i guessed

  • it seem greet phone . but i want to know if it is play mp3 as a ring tone or not. the mp3 player's cable is combatable with this phone for sharing tones and picture.plz reply 4 my request on my mail.thnx :)

  • I have this phone, a new one indeed,but it is not loud.It is hard to clearly hear from the other end of the caller.I have scrolled through the entire menu for possible adjustment with no success.Your reply is needed immediately.Reply to my email address.

  • it is good phone and if you want to buy it ...buy it

  • i have a question i have this phone but i want to know can it be connect with computer? i mean from a data cable . i want to buy its cable but i m not able to found it yet i ask you answer me plz.it have a cable orr not? if have then can we able to bring ringtones wallpapers and screen savers to it thnx

  • this phone is fast becoming the most popular in NIGERIA since the 3310 model. Nokia u did well - u kept it simple and nice

  • Nokia 1600 is for those who want a basic and user friendly phone. You can really complain for such a price. You can't expect so many good features for this price. Bear this in mind 1600 is a basic good communication gadget.

  • I want to buy nokia 1600 i want to know it is GPRS enabled? can i connect data cable with pcs Its original price also plz tell me thank u kausik chakraborty

  • Simple with basic features nice to own one!

  • The Nokia 1600 is a smash hit in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The rIngtones are fine and the piece is smooth.

  • How is that I can't download any ringtones

  • I was read on www.nokia.com, it said there is no cable data for Nokia 1600, so why did they put a port below it? The port looks like on So please tell, me what is that port can use to if there is no Original Cable for Nokia 1600?

  • I got one as a free unit when I subscribed for Sun Cellular, here in the Philippines. I must admit that Nokia has done a great job in making the phone more responsive in such a small package. It is a big improvement from my old Nokia 6610 in terms of screen refresh, ringtone quality and keypad response. The speakerphone is amazingly loud and clear, and I am satisfied with its battery life. However I find the claustrophobic menu very annoying. Imagine using SMS with a tiny three-liner display (two-liner in large mode)! And no calendar! the chinese lunar calendar is chinese only and I wouldn't be able to use it. The talking clock is just that: a talking clock. It works. And where is the infrared? They should have provided a cable or something so it can be synced with a computer or another phone. If you want a really cheap colored phone where you can call and send SMS, then this is for you. If you want a simple and chic phone for your day to day life and you're happy with a small display go and buy it now. If you find it really cute then come and get it! I'm going to see if I can replace this with a Sony Ericsson J210 tomorrow. It has a bigger and brighter screen, a calendar, and it has infrared. I don't need the loudspeaker anyway because I can buy a handsfree kit at a nearby shop.

  • It's perfect for me... I have had lots of cameraphones, and I conclude that you don't need all those stuffs in one phone. For me, it's very practical. :. 1. If you have a cameraphone with a built-in low resolution/pixel camera, and mp3 player with a very limited capacity, would you be satisfied? 2. If the Mp3 player/Camera features in your phone malfunctions, would you still be liking your phone? Are you sure you want to keep it like that forever? 3. So what's with downloading lots of ringtone? Are the listeners be the one who'll answer your phone? 4. In every multimedia phone, something is always missing... could it be what you wanted? When all you need from a phone is calling and texting. 5. I don't know about the other countries, but here in the Philippines, there are lots of hold-uppers and snatchers, so this phone won't give you much pain when it got snatched/robbed, because you could always afford to buy another one.

  • whats the keypad like on this phone?

  • can be a Fantastic set if contain camera

  • If you need USB for Nokia 1600 then buy something like this: It's for Nokia 6030, but it has the same cable connector as Nokia 1600.

  • great phone! but i need data cable for nokia 1600/1110/6030. nobody now this cable model, please post...

  • Is the best phone ever exist for women.

  • Hi, well i want to know that, how can i download mp3 ring tones, display pictures in it. And from where i can download its software or PC suite free. I live in Pakistan.

  • it is very nice mobile y it is not have infraved

  • THe Nokia 1600 is not a phone for trend trolls. If you want a phone with everything on it (stuff that you will not use anymore after a week or so, anyway) don't look at this one. It is a phone for those who believe that a certain device should do one thing really well, not everything in a mediocre way. The display is good enough for a simple phone, eve if it is not garganteous or picture displying worthy (even if it could display pictures). The one thing that makes me happy is that the screnn is extremely fast. The reception is fantastic. I have never had a phone that gets full strength signal or at least 4/5 anywhere i go. The ringtones are extremely loud at max volume so it is not a problem to hear it ring and most of them are really enjoyable. As far as standard media the 1600 is pretty well stocked up having enough ringtones to keep anyone satisfied and enough themes to not be boring. The in-call sound is quite good, meaning i do not have problems discerning words and can even make out whispers. I cannot fault it in any way for the way conversations are heard. Also the loudspeaker is very good and clear. Most of all i love the fact that it is small and light emough to not be a nuissance for my pocket while i'm out and about. All in all it's an excellent phone for those who want to have a good phone and also own a good digital camera and a good mp3 player (as opposed to someone who wants all these poorly integrated into a phone)

  • it's not a cell even suitable to it's price price.features No MMS,No WAP No downloding Poly Ringtones makes it a flat colour display mobile.

  • I wanna buy this phone, but I want to know something about it. Does anybody know how many days is its lasting between two consecutive charges, in a normal use (I mean with 5 calls and 10 sms /day) ? Please email me or answer to me here. Thank upu in advance.

  • hello people can anyone help me how many SMS this phone can hold? i don't know is the 4mb shared memory is also shared with the SMS

  • Oh and regarding the question if it can play mp3 as ringtones. I don't really know. What I know is that it has a composer so maybe with the help of a software you can find precomposed ringtones.

  • After 3 days of living with the Nokia 1600 and after 2 years of heavy use of Nokia 6100 my comments are: First of all realise that this is a mobile phone, which captures the initial "definition" of it to its best, ie talk and text. + Very good size and weight (pretty much like the 6100) + Very easy to use. Numeric shortcuts have been taken out (unfortunately) BUT there is a programmable key which can hold a list of your shortcuts and it also uses numeric ones. This is for me a very great feature as on the touch of the button I have my favourite servives. + You can FINALLY change the alarm tone which is a blessing as you get sick to listening to the same tune after a while (unlike the 6100). +You can COPY your contacts to the sim card from the phone and vice versa with "a single click". (unlike 6100) + It pretty much has all the extras (games, calculator, converter, etc.) + Nice polyphonic Now some minus points that I find mostly irritating. - It is DUAL band.... Why couldn't you build it as a tri-band. Even 6100 which is like 4 years old is triband. - Multiple numbers/name. Whyyyyyyy? Even again the 6100 does have that. And considering that you can only save 200 numbers in the phone list.... is pretty annoying. - Right key on the crosspad is fixed to demo. I mean after the first day I am sure that I do not need to refer to the demo for learning how to dial a number. What a waste of a key? - Does ANYBODY really have a clue about this famous mini DUK cable? And does the nokia software support it? Overall, I like the phone and I don't give a damn about camera, mp3 players, ringtones etc... If it only had the above features then it would be the ideal handset for me. Now somewhere around 65-70 percent.

  • can this phone use downloaded mp3 as ringtones? thanks

  • It's a Very Good Model with some cool basic features. But, i experienced this network problem, after i make/receive a call, my network is lost for 25-30 seconds...i'm using Hutch. Don't know if, its the instrument problem or the service provider problem or the mobile software problem.... Does anybody know, why this problem is occuring?

  • Far More for Far Less.Its a Jewel in The Crown.Expect BEYOND, expect NOKIA.

  • He knows a lot for 100 $, if you want games or internet buy an X-Box or an PC !!!

  • I think that this a super mobile phone,I love it man! It*s fast and furious :-)

  • download cable are nt available...damn

  • the most primitive phone i've ever seen. totally SUCKS! no internet, no USB, this... display... i give up!

  • No camera, no GPRS, no infrared port. Then?

  • well all i wanted to say is that i really lovee my phone so0o0o0 much....i love da butons, speed, quality and everything i so0o0 love it i would like it with camera though but doesnt matter!!! i think if u dont already should at least try it! it rocks and da battery lasts for ages!!!!

  • Has anyone found out about the mini DUK data cable..that can be used with the phone....

  • The SE J300i biggest rival...

  • By 30 calls/day i meant 30 minutes/day :)

  • Hello guys - this phone rocks! i recommend it to ppl who needs phone with basic functions. It has build-in tones (MP3 quality and poly) but You cannot download a new one since it foesnt support gprs. Also - phone doesnt have file system so You cannot put new tones/wallpapers into it. It doesnt support MMS, it hasnt got calendar, notepad. You may ask why i liked this phone - 2 reasons - it has got great battery and it is really fast. Battery is BLC-5 900 mAh. I use this phone for calls (about 30/day) and sms (10/day) and battery lasts for 6-7 days. Menu is fast, like 3510i. The keypad is one of best in mobile phones, is made from plastic, it has great sensitivity. I recommend this phone to all ppl which like me doesnt need camera, bluetooth, mms and gprs but neeeds good battery and fast menu.
