Review

The Nokia 1600 is an entry-level phone. It looks smart with its chrome detailing and compact size. Its very lightweight too.The keypad is reasonably easy to use, despite the numbers being split into two sections, and there's a nice 4-way scroll key. The user interface is graphical, simple to use, and makes good use of the small colour display.A good first phone, or a phone for someone wanting just the basics, the Nokia 1600 has a similar spec to the Nokia 1110. The 1600 has the benefit of a colour screen, but lacks the changeable covers of the 1110. Battery life is excellent, but storage for phone numbers and SMS messages is limited. The phone has MP3 ringtones, but don't expect too much from these!
