After going through the usual treadmill of contracts and ever increasingly complex phones, I finally realised the expense of always getting the lastest 3G MP3 MP4 10 megapixle camera phone just didn’t add up anymore. I ditched the contract, picked up a pay-as-you-go sim, and bought this phone. I’ve never been happier. The signal is good, text & calls are simple and quick, the phone is tough as old boots. Most of all, I still cannot believe just how long the battery lasts without re-charge. Most of the basic range Nokia’s seem to share long battery life, but the 1208 has just blown me away. Will never go back to contract gadget phones again.

Do you remember the classic Nokia phones of the late 90s/early 00s? This phone is the modern evolution — absolutely doing more with less.
It does everything those old Nokias did: makes calls, receives calls, sets an alarm, has some games, has a contact list etc. It is a pure phone — no internet, no MP3, no camera, no inbuilt television or NASA control centre.
It was easy to set up, too. I popped in an O2 PAYG card I had ordered from the internet, and it recognised the network immediately. Dialled the top-up number and two minutes later I had a phone with credit.
The battery seems fairly long, the shell feels tough, and it doesn’t look bad either. Very light to hold. And the best part about it is the disposability factor…you won’t break a sweat if this phone is snatched from your coat, or dropped from your hand.
For what it is? A comfortable five stars out of five.

I was using a Sagem C2-2 but found that the reception was not very good. So I bought this Nokia 1208 and transferred my Vodafone sim card from the Sagem to the Nokia. The reception is now very good and the feedback from those whom I speak to is that they can hear me loud and clear.
I found the ring tones loud enough not to miss any calls. The volume of these can be adjusted. Also the volume of the calls can be set to loud profile.
The keys and the display are very good. The menus are intuitive and it was easy to find the features and options that I want.
I also tested the texting and found it much better than the Sagem. It has other features too, like alarm, speaker phone, etc that are easier to use than the Sagem.
I think the Nokia 1208 is very good value if you want a phone to make and receive calls clearly and for sending and receiving text messages.

This phone feels very light and toy-like but seems near indestructible. I’ve used it for a year and a half and the battery still lasts me for over a week with me leaving it on constantly, texting a few times a day and talking now and then. Without using it, for example when I’ve had it for emergencies only on holiday, the battery lasted for over a fortnight.
It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of more modern phones but it’s good at getting a clear signal, speakers are loud and clear, microphone makes my voice clear to other people and it’s easy to navigate. Good for people who want a phone, not a fashion accessory that needs to be pampered and wrapped up in your handbag.
