it shud be on a starting mark of < RM150 and eventually dropping when time goes along... hahaaa!

most important is the batt last much longer and the sound of the earpiece comes from the front and not from the back like Nokia 1202!  doh.gif 

de best of monochrome set is that it's durable! tahan lasak! hehe...

actually, there's already a forummer review Nokia 1202 before... here... click here ...

i dono whether it's available or not but it's already in nokia malaysia site... Nokia 1280... even GSMArena have it too...

check it out... grey n black is nice as i see it but for those who loved colors... blue is available too! hehe... so is orchid but shud be on AP set i guess...

just wish that this model will have it's own separate earpiece... unlike nokia 1202... loudspeaker also acts as an earpiece...

looking long for it...  rclxms.gif

Can't wait to get my hands on it, bro. I'm through carrying around big bulky smartphone. Yes, at first I feel good to have a smartphone but overtime I feel like want to have only a basic phone with long talktime.

Same here. I have been waiting for ages and still can't find any model from Nokia that can last as long as Philips. But is seems Samsung is working on this front, though not as good as Philips in term of battery life. You can have a look at Samsung E1130B, E1160 or E1390. All three have quite a long battery life.

O... i doesnt like samsung... so i will just wait for tis set... even now i'm using a sucky nokia2626 given free by telco for my co. on biz line...

i dislike the nokia2626 as it's mirror screen reflects and i cant see ANYTHING and i do mean ANYTHING under the sun... crap design... why must it have a mirror screen? duH~   doh.gif

Even without the so-called mirror screen, you will still have a hard time to view anything on the screen under direct sunlight. That is one of the reason (besides battery life and simplicity) I go for monochromatic screen for my serious no frills backup phone.

Yeah right. I heard that Nokia will debut a phone similar ni design with 1280 in 3rd quarter 2010 but with more feature and even with memory card, plus bigger battery capacity. I guess that it for 1280 then?

i think you mean nokia C1-02

looks a lot like 1280 and has micro sd.
It would be nice that the phone has these options but not with colour screen. i want the monochrome screen like 1280! but with bluetooth...

That is exactly the model I meant. I like a monochrome screen but with a resolution better than the one with 1280 model. So I can read more text in one page thus save my time on scrolling.
