Who has enough of giant smartphones that everything can, but nevertheless are things you do not really need all (even if the advertising will suggest to us that), for the Samsung E1230 is exactly right. Long battery life (approximately 2 weeks or more depending on use) and reasonable "inner life", with which you can do the most important things. And let's face it: Write calling and texting are, so I think the most important things.
No camera, no MP3 function, but a good display (1.8 inches) and a reasonable keyboard. Who still wants to listen to music, can connect a headset and listen to the radio. For basic operation, I must not say anything that is clear.
Finally a vernüftiges back-to-the-basics phone that looks wertig even for this price and also feels like it. Not as many be permanently engaged in the smart phone, but simply to be human again! :-)
