Nokia 1100
Average Ratings
good phone
very tough. I dropped this around so much that it didn't look real good. i even got it wet. definate construction worker phone
Impressed
Its a phone. A very basic phone. Its all you need from a phone. The flashlight doesnt give you 24 lux at 250 meters but its enough to find the puddles in a dark car park,(should you ever go looking). The only gripe I do have with this phone is that the UK version at least, only has melodic tones, if Nokia would have given me a straight ring tone I would have given it a 5.
OK
this phone is not great if you want a lot of cool features. it is a good phone for just calling people, and it is also very cheap. it does have a flashlight, but thats about the coolest feature on it. its just an OK phone.
ty nokia : )
I absolutely love this phone : ) I got the tracfone version because I was looking for a reasonably priced phone. I had had a nokia product before and that swayed me a little. As I suspected, the phone is awesome! I not only call and receive just fine when i need to, but I can use it as a flashlight and an alarm clock too :)
The battery life is great, and it's small enough that I have room for money in my pocket when I put the phone in. As for reception, Tracfone uses T-mobile for it's provider, and Tmo has been great with reception. Maybe I am old fashioned (or just old :D ) but I like the idea os a phone being a phone and a camera being a camera, or a game player being a game player. When I get to travelling a little more with the phone I will let you know about the roaming end of things (though I have the single rate Tracfone) . All in all, this phone is highly recommended by me to anyone needing a phone .
Great entry level phone
Personally, this phone has a few faults. But other than that, its great
Pros:
Simplicity
Battery life
Small size
Wide range of accecories/custimazation options
Great talk quality
Text messaging
Cons:
Ringtones
Crappy flashlight
B&W screen may be a con to some, but on a phone this basic you should not expect anything but the bascis.
An underdog
A very compatible and easy to use phone. Though lacking many features it makes up for that in durability and simple design.I no longer use this phone and have upgraded but i liked using it very much. It is lightweight small and gets almost perfect reception.
PROS:small,lightweight,good reception(TracFone,chicago),nokia,ok features
CONS:Not many features,tiny screen,ringtone sometimes not loud enough,accesories are limited,not a color screen
OVERALL:reccommended for someone looking for just a phone and not much more,good for emergencies and contacting someone
GREAT phone for the basics
I have had the 1100 for about three months. It is ideal if you want a phone that does the basics. Okay it may not have the features a lot of people would like, but it does the essentials best.
Pros:
Long battery life,
Good reception (in most places),
Flashlight,
Games,
Alarm clock,
Extras.
Cons:
Terrible reception is some places,
Light isn't that bright,
Battery prone to falling out,
SMS inbox could be bigger.
Overall, a good phone for the simple people.
This phone must've been designed in canada, cuz it f*kin sucks
I recommend you use this phone to find the nearest landline, because the reception is horrible. In all honesty, this phone looks like a winner on paper. For what it is, it looks like it'd get the simple job done. My last 3395 got stolen, and that phone took a beating. Can't remember how many times I dropped it, but it stood strong. I was under the belief that the 1100 was the 3390's little brother, with just a few more features and the same reliability, but this sibling had a haggard case of down syndrome. Sometimes I think I'm talking to Lil John, cause every call I get at least five "WHAT!?!"s from the recieving end. I thought the mic was clogged, but I've left messages on ppls answering machines, and I sound like someone rapidly trying to change the radio station. Almost every person I talk to tells me my voice cuts in & out.
PROS:
-Flashlight (whoopdee doo)
-Talking to Lil' John no matter who I call ("WHAT!!")
-Lightweight (b/c nokia left out the part that works)
-snake (snake owns)
CONS:
-Ringtones are still garbage: Beep Boop beep Beep Boop. Boooring.
-Shitty flashlight: I know dirt that shines brighter than this light
-Hard to hear people: You kinda have to be in an isolated place to hear ppl, like the north pole
-Decieving reception: I'll have 6/7 or full bars, but I still can't place a call
-Delayed/cancelled/dropped calls: I've had it happen where the call takes 20-30 seconds to call, or just never place the call after 20 seconds.
Childs Play
This phone is the second one I've ever had. I get it through TracFone, and will be my last prepaid phone. The phone has very few features, and came out late. All the other phones that came out this time at least had color display...
PROS:
Small and compact
Cool Flashlight
Good Reception
CONS:
Very low tech
Only two games, can't download any more
Poor polyphonic ring tones
Hard to hear people
All I can say is this would be a very good phone for kind and young teens getting their first phone. Not good at all for people who use it more than a couple times a week.
Poor Phone
I have had this phone for 1.5 years. The phone seemed promising at first. However, as I continued to use it, I noticed what some others have also noticed. I can have full bars on my signal, and a moment later, without moving, have none. Even with what appears to be decent signal strength, I sometimes cannot make or receive phone calls. My friends complain that I am difficult to hear over this phone, and we have tested it out with me using one of their phones to talk to them, then using mine, and they have stated that the Nokia 1100 was significantly worse. The phone was free with a year subscription purchase with Tracfone, so I can't complain about the price. And I do like how light and thin it is. The LCD light is handy, while not as good as a full sized flash light, it is still decent.
Pro's:
Low Price
Light Weight
Flash Light
2 Games (even if they are to boring to play)
Con's:
Unreliable
Poor reception
Bad clarity of voice
Unreliable
Monotone Screen
Mono Ring-tones
Did I mention unreliable?
