Design
At first, the 1600 looks like a mild-mannered candybar phone. Looks can be deceiving, though. The 96 x 68 pixel display, which features support for 65,636 colors, gives the user a crystal clear screen, which makes it easy to type text messages and place calls. An internal antenna means there's nothing to snag in your pocket. The simplified menu and navigation with 4-way scroll key and easy-to-use key pad make for easier phone calls and text messaging.

light weight but surprisingly good | Rating:
| Date: 2008-08-09When we first opened this we thought that we had made a big mistake because it was so light and cheap feeling. However, it has surprisingly good sound quality and when you use the hands free earpiece it still works really well.

| Date: 2008-08-09This phone does not work on Verizon cell services. I bought it as a replacement phone, and found out this phone version mostly is used in Europe, even though ad says US version. Not all US carriers can activate this phone.

| Date: 2008-08-02Just got the phone. Love the way it looks and feels. Went to Sprint to activate/switch from old flip-phone to this Nokia 1600 to find out it DOES NOT WORK WITH SPRINT!! What a suprise. Sure would like to have known that $51.00 ago.

Great backup cell phone | Rating:
| Date: 2008-07-16I got one of these in case something happened to my regular cell phone. Turned out it was needed, and it worked so well, I got another one to put away in the event that something goes wrong with this one.
A great little phone for the money. Unlocked is great too. Sometimes no frills is nice. I am really pleased with this purchase. -
Reviews are right on the money | Rating:
| Date: 2008-07-08As most reviewers have noted, this is a basic phone with a lot going for it. It is cheap and unlocked. It's small and light. The battery life is excellent. You get at least one bar in most places and usually a lot more, so I'm saying it detects a signal very well. Most importantly, no dropped calls as of yet. That's a biggie for me. My motofone f3 dropped calls and that is why I replaced it with this Nokia.
If you just want basic features to make/receive calls and text messages, you'll be very satisfied with the Nokia 1600. I took one star off because I'd like to see still better signal strength. I have an old Nokia 6061 which seems even better in that department.
