Review of Nokia C1-00 and 1616

[arslan4u]

I wanted to buy a cheap secondary phone and was thinking about Nokia C1-00 and 1616. If anyone has used these phones please give your review about them. Both have same shape/features except for C1-00 having dual sim capability but only one sim is active at a time.

Since nobody replied, i'll give my own review of 1616.

Advantages
It has good features for a phone in this price range like FM radio, 3.5mm jack, torch and speaking clock (in Urdu also), 500 SMS storage.

Disadvantages
The major disadvantage of this model is the keypad, its not comfortable, the pressing sound is high and the * and # keys are even harder to press than the rest of the keypad. The design of the phone looks ugly IMO.

Dunno about 1616, but 1600 was a great phone for messaging, although i neva used these type of phones since they can't fulfil my set of needs!

Totally agreed,i bought new on 30th November and till now i am fed up with its keypad,going to change it with some other option in a day or two.
