Good: great battery life , i got it brand new for 50p with free delivery!

Bad: no camera nointernet no memory card slot or ability to play music apart from radio

Comment: I got this phone from an offer signing up to some random VIP thing on a website which i had to pay 50p and then got the phone in return. its quite a handy little phone just to keep one of my other sim cards in as i have several numbers that people call me on so i need several phones, usually i stick wihblackberry or htc but this little cheapy one is handy for a number i use for putting on gumtree or on my website etc, so i know any calls that i get on that number are business calls and i also know that phone wont get stolen lol

Good: See my earlier comment

Bad: See my earlier comment

Comment: I forgot to write:

1) Some people wrote that the call quality is bad. Not at all! When I talk with other people on that phone, i hear them well and they hear me well too.

2) "Voice leakage from the back side" - true, but not so bad. I read somewhere that you can fix it by covering from inside the back cover of the phone with insulating tape (isolente), then the sound will not come out from the back side, but from the front side.

Good: Bought it for my aunt who turned 84 years, user friendly,good looking

Bad: Nothing bad about the Nokia 1616

Comment: Bought is for my aunt who turned 84 years. She just wants to make and receive a call. Its simply the best I ever saw for old age people. They understand the function of the menu, and wow the loves the flashlight at night in hospital and at home.

Comment: This is a terrible phone for me. Nobody could understand me because of background noise and I could rarely understand anybody - who knows why. It dropped calls even though there was full signal. I had to replace the battery the first day and every now and again it gave off a 20 second loud electronic hum that lowered the charge in the battery significantly.

Good: You can text.

Bad: Call quality is terrible

Comment: It is a shi@ty phone (sorry for my French) but I can only use it for texting. I hear people well but no one can ever hear me, so I am so sick of my phone. People even stopped calling me a long time ago because phone conversations are a disaster. I have been looking for a new phone for a while but now I am concerned about buying another cheap phone and the same thing happening again.

I tried to bring to the store where I bought it back but they told me that there was nothing wrong with my phone. Or I could go to the technician and wait to get fixed. Unfortunately, I bought outside of the country where I live so I could not wait until the technician looked at it. To sum up, don't waste your money on this phone. Buy something better.

Good: long lasting battery,Good for the hard use,Design is very comfortable to carry around,Very basic and very simple

Bad: Voice leakage from the back side(can be managed by lowering the volume or using the headset)

Good: good batt life, nice menu display

Bad: for fifteen quid? nothing

Comment: totally disagree with the comments about build quality, mine feels sturdy enough and to grumble about a phone that costs about 10-15 pounds is a bit petty. As mentioned battery life is excellent and the layout of the menus are far superior to Samsungs in the same price bracket.
