Back to Basics

The Nokia 1208 was one of the most used phones when it was released. It may not have that all glamour and modern designs, but it was truly something that was handy for all Nokia users and non-users. This handset really aims to be good at making life easier. It's simply for making calls and sending messages, which is mainly what all phones are for. Obviously, there's nothing that is striking about the Nokia 1208's design. It is one simple, small one that is built to be practical.

The Nokia 1208 is measured at 4.02x1.74x0.69 inches and weighs at 77 grams. Now, you can imagine how light and compact this phone is. Its lightweight construction and small size make the phone feel as comfy as you could imagine. The Nokia 1208 has a 1.5 inches screen display with 15.2% screen-to-body ratio with 96x68 pixels or 78 PPI density. Usually, when it comes with the color display, everyone will complain about the lack of a color screen. Most color displays of budget handsets will tend to look washed-out and blurry. But not with the Nokia 1208, it has a crisp mono screen which is actually great. When you use the phone in sending text messages it is one easy task to do. The call quality is also superb and also delivers a crisp and clean speech.

The phone does a great job of holding on to a signal, even in areas where the coverage is really weak. Especially in the Philippines, where most areas get really poor network quality. One great feature of this phone is its speakerphone, it is clear and loud. So, using its loudspeakers will not be a problem at all, especially in a phone call. As we all know the Nokia 1208 is a good small and handy phone. This might be a small phone, but it sure has great battery life. The Nokia 1208 has a good 700mAh removable battery, which can last for 7 hours of talk time and 365 hours on standby mode.

Aside from calling and sending messages, of course, Nokia also added a few tools to help you keep tabs on how much you're spending on your calls and text. You will find both of the call duration timer and a message counter. It also has an extra LED light nestled at the top of the phone. This can be turned on and off from the phone's flashlight menu. The mono screen is very easy to read. It has a small and low resolution. It can show three lines of text or around nine words at any one time, so you only get a fair amount of scrolling to read a longer text for the message. Compared to other budget phones, the Nokia 1208 does not have a built-in FM radio and doesn't come with a handsfree kit.

It does lack other features like Bluetooth, memory card, GPS, and USB cable, which are already available in other phones within its category. The Nokia 1208 is a good budget phone choice for everyone to have. It's aimed at those who just want to have a basic phone that's easy to use and has good battery life. The Nokia 1208 is available in two color options, Red and Black only.
