Nokia 1200 review
The Nokia 1200 is a no-frills handset aimed at tech novices. Although it's basic, the phone does have a fantastic battery life, and is unbelievably easy to use for texting and calling. Call quality is crisp and loud even in areas of poor signal, while the speakerphone sounds very clear Read more

Nokia 5228 X-Factor review
You can blame it on stage fright, but when the lights go up, the Nokia 5228 pales in comparison to rival budget phones. Despite its self-proclaimed star quality, it just doesn't have the X factor to win our vote. Read more

Nokia 2220 Slide review
It may lack the features we've come to take for granted on entry-level phones, but the Nokia 2220 Slide is great value for money compared to other devices in the same price bracket.

Nokia Asha 306 review
The Nokia Asha 306 is a very basic smart phone but its biggest shortcoming is no 3G, which throttles web speeds away from Wi-Fi. Doh! Read more
