Good day fellas,

Old phone gone dead, like usual, need a new 1.
Looking for something simple and small.
Don't require much on the functions.
Only needs to receive and make calls, receive and send text messages.
Price range is Rm50 - Rm100. (Exceed Rm10 or Rm20 is ok)

As I mention as title, cause my old one was something similar to that 2.

Thanks in advance for any feedbacks. I don't do much research on mobiles phones.
So, pls, state your comment.

1200 is newer model compared to 1112 lor... but both oso nice...

1112 is white light and 1200 is not... and function wise... both sure to serves u well with excelent battery life... price oso shud be around your mark... depends on ur design liking... if given me, i'll choose by the designs and oso by the backlight lighting...

i like the nokia 1208 design in black... but if it comes in monochrome and with white light... sure coOL! it's battery life as i see in some website can last more than a week! even nokia site stated that it can last 365hours!!

Nokia 1208? I'll check it out.
But what is the price for a color screen mobile?
Going to buy my phone in 1 U.
Got any shops to recommend? Or sales person who you think is reliable?

Some more, went to ask for Nokia 1112 or 1110 and the sales person told me that is not on sale anymore cause the price for this 2 has risen. LOL
He said 1200 is the most cheap phone among Nokia phones.

ha? i expect the batt life to be great despite it's a color screen hp... btw, it's 65K... does it look good on de screen? hehe... how's ur view on de overall of the hp?

i'm using nokia 1100 torchlight hp as my office's line which serves me well... but if there's a better monochrome available... i would like to buy one... i see de nokia 1208 is nice but sayang it's not monochrome... sumore it got speakerphone which i got use of it while driving unlike the nokia 1100 which lacks of it...

Nokia 1200 has more features compared to 1112 like torchlight, block caller etc.

Furthermore Nokia 1112 is no longer in the market (unless recon or old stock)

So go for Nokia 1200

Every1 is talking 1200... Seems like this phone is really worth buying. Too bad 1112 is no longer selling. =.+

Yup, it's true what Mitodna said. I am using V3.44 & although I can access the menu, but I have no option to choose the options there.

1200
+ better calendar
+ cost controlling
+ touch light
+ sms signature
- lousy keypad

- firmware problem

If after plus minus, not much different.
