Favoured : 69

This handset is really aimed at technophobes who don't want any bells and whistles on their phone, but instead are after a mobile that makes it as easy as possible to send text messages or make calls.  

The Nokia 1200 is a lightweight mobile phone which feels good to hold with its 102mm x 44.1mm x 17.5mm sized casing. The screen provides the user with a black & white display on a LCD screen complete with a green backlight & screen resolution of 96 pixels x 68 pixels. 

The 1200 comes with connection ports which connect the mobile phone to a compatible headset & to the Nokia battery charger. The mobile phone comes with dual band technology which allows the user to use their phone over GSM 900 & 1800 networks. Sending text messages is so easy and the call quality is also superb, delivering crisp and clean speech. The phone does a great job of holding on to a signal, even in areas where the coverage is patchy, and the built-in speakerphone is clear and loud.

But tonight's starring is the battery life. The 1200 will give you a 7 hours of talk time and will keep ticking over on standby for well over two weeks.

The Nokia 1200 comes with adjustable volume control which allows the user to adjust their ringtone or call volume easily. The user can hear their callers clearly as the Nokia 1200 comes with noise cancellation filters which filter the background noise to improve the sound quality of each call. The phone comes with preloaded MP3 type & polyphonic ringtones which can be heard in 32 voices.

The 1200 is obviously not a mass-market handset. It's aimed at those who just want a basic cheap phone that's easy to use and has good battery life
