The Nokia 1208 mobile phone: a basic but powerful delight

The Nokia 1208 mobile phone is one of those simple yet powerful mobile phones that appear from time to time. While it lacks all the advanced features of many other modern phones, it does have some really useful features built in. That is why we found that this mobile has been very famous and very useful for many people. Features like battery backup, quick texting, and flashlight make it a useful mobile phone.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 1208 is that it comes with one-click shortcuts for SMS messaging, contacts, calendar, and flashlight. This clearly shows how you can improve your calling and messaging capabilities through this mobile phone. The phone also features a brilliantly designed multiple phone book. As each phone book can store up to 200 entries, the storage capacity looks really impressive. Also interesting is the fact that the mobile phone comes with a 65K color TFT which really spices up the screen. The themes and profiles are really nice and attractive at the same time.

Almost every Nokia 1208 review will tell you about fully custom MP3 polyphonic ringtones. You can download them via SMS and configure them with ease. A speakerphone feature allows you to speak without holding the phone. This is a really commendable feature for a small phone like the Nokia 1208.

Another cool feature of the Nokia 1208 that is really cool and useful is the tracker. There is a Cost Tracker that tracks your call expenses and helps you manage your call charges smartly and intelligently. The prepaid tracker also helps you in this regard. If you think you will have to be strict about call times, you can use the Time Tracker, which cuts a call after a predefined time limit, saving you time and money.

The power saving clock beautifully displays the time even when the mobile is locked and idle. It also helps to save battery power to a great extent. The battery powers up to 7 hours of talk time. The mobile phone comes with all other bells and whistles like reminders, alarm clock, stopwatch, countdown timer and 3 built-in games.

The Nokia 1208 launch was a huge success for the company, as many people preferred to go for simplicity and modest ones rather than high-end models with loads of features. The price of the Nokia 1208 has been quite low, around £ 26 for the SIM-less model.
