Nokia 1616

 

Nokia are famous for making different specced mobiles to cater to a wide range of users around the world, such as its N-Series aimed at businesspeople. The Nokia 1616 is a budget mobile phone, targeting users after a basic mobile, ideal for calling and...

It's a compact, candybar handset, measuring in at just 107 x 45 x 15mm, and weighing a comfortable 78.5 grams. The device is available in 4 different colours, including Black, Dark Red, Blue and Dark Grey. Its design is reminiscent to earlier Nokia...

Nokia 1616

 

The 1616’s dimensions are not bulky (107.1 x 45 x 15 mm, weighting 78 g or 4.22” x 1.77” x 0.59”, weighting 2.75oz) and is comparable with other One Thousand Series Nokia phones. The handset fits in the palm of a man's hand and thanks to its size it...

Expert review by : Joseph Hanlon (cnet.com.au)

Nokia 1616

 

The 1616 is the cheapest brand-name phone we know of in Australia, and for some this will be reason enough to buy it, but we'd like to see a camera and web browser included.

Solid old-school design ; FM radio and flashlight ; Good battery life

No camera ; No web browser ; Keypad will be tricky for those with enormous fingers

We've described this handset as costing AU$29 throughout this review, but we should point out that it is only available at this price when bought through either Crazy John's or Vodafone and it is locked to these networks.

Nokia 1616

 

Nokia has been serving up budget handsets for a quite a long time now. Their experience in the budget segment shows in the Nokia 1616 , which comes with just the bare essentials and then some. For something so cheap, you wouldn't believe that it...

Nokia 1616

 

The 1.8" 128 x 160 pixel screen is large enough to be useful, and as it's a TFT display it should be very easy to read. Although this is a very limited resolution compared to most mid-market European phones, the Nokia 1616 doesn't really do anything...

Small. Cheap. Clear screen.

Inclined to jump the gun when sending text messages. Not always easy to follow the procedures and the booklet doesn't help much

Small, compact and easy to use. Not too technical for an old fogey!

Colour contrasts not strong enough - have sent texts to wrong people! Must have a fiddle and try and improve them!

Nokia 1616

 

Very easy to use, bought as first phone for my 11 year old daughter who loves it and enjoys the few games on it. Battery seems to last a long time. Great value for money. Also very clear, no background noise.

None as yet!
