subject: Nokia 1202 - Cheap And Durable Phone [print this page] As is the name of Nokia has become synonymous with quality and performance that can be totally relied upon. With Nokia 1202 the company goes a step forward to provide the users with a device that is affordable and people would not have to burn a hole in their pockets to buy this phone, which is probably the cheapest ever available phone till now.
Though being the cheapest, it rather amazes everyone with its features and its remarkable performance. The company has done a lot a research and put a lot of forethought into making this phone. The fact that it is low priced implies that it would be catering to lower income strata of people in the rural areas. Therefore the phone has been made with large dust resistant keypad with an inbuilt flash light. However a commendable aspect of this phone is the prolonged battery power of the device. It can last for up to 26 days in standby mode and has 9 hours talk time facility, which again takes care of the fact that the in the rural areas one may not be easily accessible to the charging units. Another feature worth applause is the fact that the phone is actually made in a way that it can be shared commonly by five people. It has the capacity to have five individual phone books and pre paid tracker facility, implying that each user can have separate accounts and can manage their own expenses individually even though they share the same device. Now this certainly is a breakthrough attribute in this phone and this again shows Nokia as a company in a favourable position.
The phone offers unique physical attributes as well. This monochromatic phone weighing less than 80 grams has spaced out keypad. This facilitates the messaging functions. The navigation in this phone is also a childs play. The phone that uses basically the five way Navigation Key offers ease of operation. Therefore the device can be bought as the first phone for a growing child who would not want a complicated menu to operate the phone.
Usability is the key with this phone. The illuminated display, with an extraordinary loud ringer tone, and a dust resistant outer display all add up to making this phone totally utility oriented. Along with this the dual band offers even greater utility and connectivity. Though the phone lacks all the ribbons and frills in the form of missing Bluetooth, Camera and GPS, but with the price for which it is available it is offering the worth for each and every penny of yours. The device performs best for what it is meant to be...a phone to be used only for communications. It caters to the market where the fanciful phones of Nokia, Apple and BlackBerry would not fit at all. Further the Nokia 1202 contract deals make these phones all the more affordable and popular for people for whom it is meant to be.
