My other favorite fone which I use for calls and text messages only. With the classic monochrome screen that you can use in direct sunlight (not all smart phones can do this), and an excellent battery life. Most of the time I charge this fone once a week! Cost around Php 900. Although Nokia is no longer king in the ongoing mobile wars, they sure know how to make high quality cheap cellphones!
black and white screen still relevan now day.Great battery perfomance,easy to see under sunlight,great value for cheap price but easy to use similar an expensive phone.Congratulation Nokia.i hope can get similar phone on until 2050 like this.
People Talking So Much About Its Voice Leakage. Its There But Its Really Not Audible For The 2nd Person. Until & Unless U R Hugging Someone While Taking The Call. I Use The Back Speakers As Earpiece For Superb Clarity Sound During Call Without Any Leakage. If Voice Leakage Bugs U That Much Then Get A Headphone.
I Love This Phone. Its Really Gr8 For Text MSG Chat. Keypad Is Just Best Keypad For A TEXTER. Keys Are Big Soft Responsive, With No Click Sounds. I Can Type With The Record Break Speed With This Phone. Its Really Fast. Great Battery Backup. Goes Straight 48 Hours After A Full Charge, With About 2000 SMS, 4 Hours Of Talk, 4 Hours Of FM (On Headphones). Also Gr8 Network Strength. Its Display Is Awesome In Sunlight.
I bought one last August. It is still working perfectly and battery lasts for 4-5 days on a single charge. When I am not using it too often, the battery even lasts for more than a week. I have another phone but this one is always nice to carry around because of its good battery.
I have, I love it. I hope after 10 years i can buy nokia like this. I love black and white screen. Only minus - need more symbols for contact description. Others dont exist.
just got the phone. it's shitty. it's impossible to talk through loudspeaker because the microphone turns off. actually there is no speaker but the loudspeaker and if you try to hear more by covering the backhole with your finger, it generates an echo of person you're calling. i can't find any good idea of how to put custommade mp3, or even midi ringtones into the phone. i'm disappointed :(
I live in the UK and want to buy a Nokia 1280 to replace my very old (but very reliable) Nokia 1101. Unfortunately I can't find this model for sale anywhere in the UK (or online). There are plenty of people interested in basic, durable phones like this so where can we buy them?
I hope that this phone doesn't have the same speaker problem like with the Nokia 1202, where sound from the main speaker is leaking out from the back and giving you poor call quality.
On a side not, I still have no idea how such a basic cheap phone like this amazes me so much, the simplicity of it is so seducing and sexy, and it also makes you feel that when all heavy duty, full spec and topnotch phones fail, this phone will stand tall.
@humannoise I have sent Nokia a message asking about if the Nokia 1280 has the same hardware and if it has that same issue, I also asked about allot of things regarding the phone. They haven't replied yet, but if they do I'll post it here for all you guys to see.
i'm gonna buy one just to use the sms and phone system. dont need the rest. I now have a iPhone but I can take this to school etc and than I don't really care if its get stolen and for 20€ it's still pretty nice. good job nokia!
I want to have this phone.

Wow, that is a 'low end' market killer. Just 20 bucks for all the features one could put in a basic mobile nowadays?
I'd probably get one of those if I had to replace an everyday pocketable mobile.

Kinda classy! Regarding of the video, it has that old black n white screen, which is cool these days.
I wonder does anti-scratch proof work... Sounds like not, no matter what you do, the phone might bet very scratchy at use.
