Nokia 1280 Review

Proving the quote “Old is Gold” true Nokia 1280 can be considered as the mobile handset suitable for the users who prefer to use mobile phone only for talking purpose rather than concentrating more on its  latest additional technical features. With 1.36 inches Monochrome screen Nokia 1280 has screen resolution of  96 x 68 pixels. It supports the 2G GSM network only unlike the latest 3G smartphones capturing the market these days.

There are not any worth mentioning features about Nokia 1280 except that it adorns certain common and one latest feature of inbuilt FM radio that is provided to entertain the users during leisure time. Besides this other common feature which in fact is the oldest feature embedded in every phones despite of their high or low prices is feature of messages (Short message service). To support the messaging feature Nokia 1280 is designed by virtual keypad that supports an easy access to typing message of 160 characters. With an objective of enhancing the entertainment feature for the user Nokia 1280 is blessed with feature of MP3 ringtones which the user can assign to different contacts noted in the phone address book. It also endorse the user to store maximum contacts upto 500 in phone book with a facility of storing different calls including dialed number, missed calls and received calls.

Additional features adorned in Nokia 1280 include flashlight that is very useful for the users residing in rural areas who can use it during power cut in nights. Calendar endorses the user to manage his future engagements and various assignments by marking their dates on adorned calendar. Voice memo acts like an answering machine to remind user about the phone calls missed by the user by repeating message left on Voice memo application. The feature of predictive text input enhances the user to type special characters in message in form of upper and lower case of alphabets. Finally the last but not the least the phone supports feature of exchangeable color covers for the young users those who like to use phone with different color Nokia 1280 provides the facility of changing its body cover according to their choice to let them surprise their friends for using new phone every time they meet.

No doubt, Nokia 1280 does not carry any worth mentioning features that can be highlighted about it except that it can be liked by users like first time buyers or school going children who dont want to use the mobile for anything else, but talking.
