it does unexpected behaviors sometimes. nice cell phone. i dont know if it is possible to fix by reinstalling operating system through USB connector. other times it freezes and you need to turn off and turn on. i like the compact and simple style. however, there is bug in the operating system.
Not alot of "bells and whistles," but has basics and the battery life is wonderful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good phone with great reception thoughout the US. My old phone had terrible reception ever since I had bought it. I used to have to recharge my old phone everyother day, this one lasts over a week before it needs a charge. FYI, I have AT&T service. Since I was going to be traveling, I wanted a reliable phone. This phone got great reception and has everything I need in a phone.
I did not want to be saddled with a 2 year extension from my cell phone provider so an unlocked phone was key. Keyboard letters a little small for texting but overall I am very satisfied. Easy to use phone with a great battery life and fair price. I didn't need all kinds of bells and whistles.
This was very poor advice from the Amazon cell phone expert and fortunatly we didn't have a serious emergency where we needed to be reached or had to call out. Needless to say it didn't work at all in Europe or the Black Sea area and when I contacted Moble, the SIM card company, they told me the phone would only work in the US. Also Amazon as not been cooperative in resovling this issue and allowing me to return the phone for full credit. I puchased this phone with the aid of the Amazon cell phone specialist and told him if was to be used with a SIM card in Europe and the Black Sea. He assued me it was an unlocked phone and if ordered with the appropiate SIM card also being offered by Amazon it would work.
It was simple, intuitive, and fit my needs. Long story short. I'm sure there are a number of other things about this phone that annoy me, but those are my main complaints. A lot of the things on this phone are the same.
Considering this was a few years newer than my previous Nokia 3125, I figured it would have the same qualaties at the very least, if not better. Hoping I could get the same quality in this phone for slightly less money, I gave up a lot in the quality department. I have had numerous brands and styles of cell phones, and after going through a number of options, I liked Nokia 3125 the best. Unfortunately my old phone turned out to be far superior to the 1600.
The fact that I cannot save a text message, cannot view any kind of picture sent to me by another phone, and most importantly cannot send a text message without it taking numerous tries in just about any environment makes this phone kind of a downer. Don't get this phone unless you are down to your last 50.00 dollars and need something to communicate with. This phone is similar, and I couldn't find the 3125 for less than at least one hundred dollars more, so I went with the cheaper model. it shows.
