With the Nokia 1208 you get a low-priced phone with all major standard functions (call, SMS, calendar, phone book, alarm clock) in the usual Nokia Quality. It is designed quite small and compact, the keyboard barely large enough to tap reasonably accurately can. The cover is on the back a little hard to open; skip to frequent the SIM card might therefore not so suitable. Useful details of the mobile phone is the built-in flashlight. The only significant negative point in my opinion, the charger; Firstly, the Nokia 1208 is not compatible with the previous standard Nokia chargers, but requires a much smaller connector. And secondly, is the charger - with all due respect - billigster scrap. The charging cable is sheathed with a relatively hard plastic, thus inflexible. In addition, the connector is poorly finished and does not fit in my home in every outlet ... such a problem I had with any other device, an error at the outlets I conclude therefore from. Conclusion: for everyone who seeks only ship a simple phone for calling and texting, and takes some compromising the charger into account, the Nokia 1208 is the perfect device. Everyone else should probably better to invest some extra money and choose a higher model.
