The Nokia 1600 is a basic Net10 phone which serves the purpose of being a phone very well but does not offer myriads of fancy features like some other phones. Its good features are:
- The phone includes 300 minutes and 60 days of service on activation.
- It is a Single Rate phone charging 10¢ per minute for every call whether local, nationwide long distance or roaming. International calls to over 60 destinations 15 are available for just 15¢. Messaging charges are only 5¢ per message.
- The phone is compact and lightweight at just 2.82 ounces being portable and easy to handle.
- The phone has a full colour display which is clear and easily readable.
- You also have the option of customizing your screen with various wallpapers and screensavers.
- You are also provided with the essential features of call waiting, caller ID and voicemail.
- The battery life is quite impressive giving a maximum of 5.5 hours of talktime and a whopping 18 days of standby time.
- You can suit your needs and set your ringtone from a selection of 28 polyphonic ringtones.
- This compact phone also packs the option of choosing a language you are comfortable with from a selection of four languages- English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
- The phonebook can store up to 200 entries.
- The volume of the ringtones is loud which allows you to hear your phone ringing even in very crowded areas.
- It has exceptional RF characteristics, much better than many of the high-end phones in the market.
- The audio quality is also good given the fact that it is a very basic phone.
- The speakerphone is loud and clear and much better than that of many other fancier phones.
The phone however lets you down in these areas:
- The keys are not very well designed which makes scrolling difficult and cumbersome.
- The call quality is not that good as it transmits quite a bit of noise to the caller while talking.
- The earpiece volume is barely audible in congested areas and may not be sufficient for most users.
All in all, the Nokia 1600 is a good standard phone meant for calling and texting. It has a great battery life. The phone easily scores over most of the phones in its category and is even better in RF sensitivity than the well reputed Siemens A56.
