Usabilitycheap and adequate for the very basics of phonecalls and txt
A very basic phone with no music or camera, but for anyone wanting just a basic phone for calling and texting this is one of the cheapest and most adequate on the market. This phone is a useful phone to have as a back up, but as my kids say they are embarrased to be seen with me when I use it.

Design Features UsabilityPerfect for just the basics and any senior citizen like me
Being a senior citizen I wanted a mobile phone without all the 'extras' as I felt I would never use most of them.
So I purchased my Nokia 1600 from a large Supermarket and have found it extremely easy to operate.
For Emergency use and basic texts and calls this phone is absolutely ideal and I would recommend it to anyone who just needs a cheap and easy to use 'basic' mobile.

Features UsabilityNokia 1600 is a great, easy to use budget phone
I don't upgrade my phone much, due to new phones and technology for phones appearing every few weeks, or so it seems anyway.
I just recently bought this phone for £40 from TheLink with £30 credit on the easymobile.com, which works out to be one of my best bargains of 2006!
It was also a very nice move from the old Nokia 3310 I used to have, so from a navy brick to a nice slim trendy looking Nokia 1600 which would suit anybody.
I'll start to move onto the more techie side of things now though...
The Nokia 1600 weighs in at just 80g. The dimensions are 104x45x17mm in length, width and depth and has an LCD colour screen which you can calibrate the brightness for and even choose themes for!
Its easy to use and has a simple menu which is easy to navigate through which has contacts (view all your contacts) > call register (view missed calls, received calls etc) > settings (all settings related to the phone, ringtone, time, display settings etc) > alarm clock (which has the option of a normal alarm clock style ring or a speaking alarm clock!)> reminders (set reminders etc) > games (which includes greats such as snake, soccer and rapid roll) > extras (calculator, currency converter, stopwatch etc) > messages (inbox, compose etc).
The fone doesnt have any fancy gizmos like a camera and such but for a cheap phone like this it doesnt matter to me because all I need is a basic phone.
The life of the battery lets you have about 4 - 5 hours for talk time and about 285 - 450 hours on standby.
I dont use my phone alot so I only need to charge it a few times a week which is nice
The reception quality and sound quality on the phone is also great which always goes down great in my book.
I've had this phone for a couple of months now, it doesnt take long to get used to either - I got used to most of the phone after about half a day.
So if your looking for an easy to use and great little phone then look no further than the Nokia 1600.
Overall Design Features UsabilityThe captions have worn away from the buttons due to frequent use
I find this model difficult to keep hold of. As a result it has been dropped a few times and since then I find that the * key does not always work which is particularly annoying when texting. The captions have worn away from the buttons due to frequent use.
