THe BEST phone I ever had....Nokia 1100 - Nokia, p...

I have just had to pay SILLY money for a Nokia 1100 - the BEST phone I ever had.  PLEASE, Nokia, re-release this excellent phone....for me, what's done is done, but, please make this phone available for others...I cannot reccomend the Nokia 1100 HIGHLY ENOUGH.  The fact that people are now sheling out £££ speaks vulumes....
Here is my Amazon review for this EXCELLENT phone....
"I am someone who likes things exactly so. For a lot of things, basic doesn't do it for me.
For example, I won't use anything but the highly customisable Firefox (with Adblock Plus, Noscript, Stylish and Social Fixer add-ons), to get the web just the way I want.
You know what? As far as mobiles go, this IS just the way I want already.
Here are the reasons...
* Simple and easy to use
* Old style monochrome viewer, with a backlight, which means that, unlike basically every other phone on the market, whatever the time of day...indoors, outdoors, day, night, the display is always - ALWAYS easy to read.
* It has a 'Loud' profile. As someone who is slightly hard of hearing, this means that I absolutely always hear when someone rings me or texts me.
* Unlike a lot of other phones, the alarm clock is loud enough to actualy wake me up.
* Rounded keys...meaning that I don't struggle to type someone's number.
* Durable. I have had this model for over 5 years, in that time, it's been on the roof of a car that's driven off, falen on concrete from 10 foot, been with me when I've fallen over drunk countless times, and who knows what else...and it still works perfectly.
* Long battery life. I only have to charge it once every 12-14 days.
* It's basic, so won't get nicked. It's fallen out of my pocket in pubs, clubs and at a party, and I've always had it back.
Three times, I have 'upgraded' when I've been flush, and three times, I've come back to my trusty Nokia 1100.
I cannot rate this phone highly enough. Shame on Nokia for discontinuing it..."

As far as what people want from phones nowadays is concerned...I accept that, but, there are plenty f us out there who want a phone to be - A PHONE - it's not rocket science. I spand ages online - but, through my PC - where I can see hings properly, and with Firefox add-ons, Adblock Plus and Noscript, I'm safer than safe, and don't get to see any capitalist rubbish. Also, the fact that prices for the Nokia 1100 are rising, and rising rapidly...that, to me, suggests something...myself, I've bought a second one just as a backup...my first one lasted me well over a decade before I lost it...so, I reckon these wil last me well into my life...

    Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

  • E6 Really not the Smartest Phone as I had hoped fo...

    As you can see from the attached image I have had a few Nokia cell phones over the years... these are just some of the ones that have survived- many more have perished along the way.
    I was over the moon when i heard about the release of the E6, I was looking forward to it being the final evolution in the E series Qwerty form factor. having the best of the previous generations and a lot more new functionality.
    it does have some (not enough) good features but lacks application support.
    But its the little things that make this phone drop many points in the IQ test. Like the absence of the converter app and a lot more... but i dont want to bash the brand anymore- we all know the short comings of the latest E series releases. Its just frustrating that Nokia forgot what people liked about the phones in the 1st place. They did not make a smart move with this "smart" phone... please, can someone in Nokia pay attention and start to fix some issues quickly for everyones sake aswell as for the stock price!

    I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist.
    Please refer to the following KB doc.  Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    The above link will help you to  install a special version that does not require activation.

  • I want to know what is the best phone??

  • The best expense app for the best phone?

    Hi guys,
    I still haven't gotten an iPhone because I use Palm and I can't be without PocketQuicken (Not a palm app, rather a 3rd. party app) it takes care of all of my expenses on the road and then syncs them with Quicken on my Mac, I get to know in real time anywhere how much money I have or how much credit I still have on a credit card, it can also keep my monthly budget. It's ideal for traveling business men or for people who like to know where there money is or has gone to.
    Please Apple, invite the people at http://www.landware.com/pocketquicken/ to make an internal app for the iPhone, so that the best phone would have the best expense program out there. Thus giving something very useful to the iphone users. It's the only thing stopping me from getting an iPhone. I have many, believe me! many 3rd. party apps in my Treo, but the only one that I can't live without is this one. Please consider it. Thanks!

    Something that I left out is that it can also be a standalone app no need to have quicken in the Mac, it can fully do the expenses and much more on it's own. And the best part is that it wouldn't interfere with any of the phone's features, like WiFi or anything like that so no harm would come from making it an internal app.

  • Nokia N97 - faultiest phone ive ever had

    Hi guys im new to the forum and its interesting to see just how many people are suffering with issues with their n97. How Nokia have managed to release a phone as buggy as this is unbelievable. I will never buy another Nokia, there are issues with EVERY software update, alarm doesnt work, keypad freezes, unlock/lock doesnt work, cant open SMS, memory always saying it is full. How is it possible to release such a bad phone? Why are they still not capable of fixing the problems?

    @markmacdonnel
    Nokia are defently one of the best companys to follow up their phones. Samsung and SE does hardly make updates at all.
    Around on different forums you will find people complaining about any phone on the market. Today I read a few posts about the desire freezing and rebooting and peeps wishing they had never bought it.
    If you buy a HTC with WM for instance, you will likely feel that it's a xtremely heavy and have a lot of wierd bugs or are non userfriendly. - Giving some time on XDA dev. site, you will find ways to tweak and do whatever you like with it, but it needs some effort.
    I have an Iphone my self, which works flawlessly, but I have friends who also have a lot of problems with theirs. - Freezes, reboots, and gpu burn to death.
    What I'm saying is that there are faults and issues with every brand and every model.
    Nokia sells a enormous amount of devices every year, from cheap basic phones to expensive N and E series devices. Apple have one phone to work with which the majority won't afford. Iphone is great, but Nokia is "bleep" great too.
    Take the HTC HD2 which has extremely great hardware, unfortunately a lot of users have now gone almost a year with problems of sms's beeing stuck in the outbox... I've read a "few" comments about that for sure - It was far more expensive than the n97...
    Don't misunderstand me, I know that the n97 has been a pain for a lot of users, and I do understand your frustration, but the point is, you find it everywhere... Dell computers, HP computers, gps's, phones, tv's.  
    Now, if you want to, I and many more here would like to help you with your issues, and perhaps get it to work like it has worked a few months!?
    You say it has been working for a few months... Do you remember doing anything to it right before it started to misbehave? - Installing any 3rd party apps, deleteing anything, change settings etc?

    Every Nokia models have a target customer. Its up to the customer to select which ones fit his/her purposes. As for me since I do long travel the N91-8gb sufficed( loads of apps(do away w/ my pa & mp3 player(superb sounds) & e-books if i got tired of listening.

  • What's the best phone app to use on iPad for uk users to make calls with

    I know there's a few apps out there to use and make phone calls with, but which is the best one for uk users/callers.
    I would prefer not to use Skype but if that's the best on the market, that's what I will use.
    As you can probably guess I'm new to the iPad, so all the help I get is appreciated loads.

    Cheers for that, looks like I will have to use Skype then. Unless someone else comes up with an answer.

  • T 410s : the best of Lenovo ever

    Is it only me believing this ? I think this model is the best laptop one can buy today - although it is not as customizable as T410. 
    It has the right size, the ideal weight and it is worth all its money ( unless there are any "issues" ).

    There are a few issues with broken plastics, unexpected shutdowns and screen problems. It could've been a great machine if they ironed out the kinks before hurriedly launching it to market.

  • Google is the best internet resource ever!

    I'm always surprised to hear of people who are on the internet and not
    using Google. It is by far the best search engine out there, and they
    are constantly adding new features. Check this out!

    Hi Matthew,
    I'm subscribing to your opinion ... just one comment ... the big RESOURCE is the Internet and Google is a very good INDEX .

  • I dunno about you guys... but this is the best phone I've ever had.

    Yeah, 4G isnt always there. But, this phone is BLAZING fast. I've had maybe 5 stutters of lag in the last week or so that i've had it. Coming from a Droid Incredible, this is a godsend. 
    I had to set Force GPU Rendering and Window and Transition Animation Scale to 0.5x, and thats all this phone needed.
    Honestly, here are the improvements I'd ask for, but these ARE NOT complaints; these are things that I'm happy without and even happier with:
    1. Camera: same as Nexus, but make it 8MP as well as a bit higher quality
    2. Give us the option for a fixed menu button (like the on screen home button -- just leave a menu button right there in the bottom right corner).
    3. Give us the ability to create shortcuts to any setting and application (IE, i want to be able to jump directly to Developer Options, or I want to have a shortcut for Voice Search on the bottom of my screen.)
    and LASTLY
    4. MAKE A 3D phone LIKE THE EVO 3D!!
    But, HONESTLY verizon, you did a good job in my book on this one. And the customer service was phenomenal, rep named Steven helped me. I couldn't be happier right now with this phone. Keep trying to do things with the customer in mind
    Sincerely,
    Mr. Happy Customer for once.

    for me, 5mp is good enough. If I want to take a picture for a portrait, I will get my DSLR out
    2. Give us the option for a fixed menu button (like the on screen home button -- just leave a menu button right there in the bottom right corner).
    This is an app issue. Apps that have not been compiled with ICS API installed (Most of the apps), the menu button will jump around, but for Google apps that are preinstalled, the menu is in its proper place. There are a couple of exceptions, where the Google app has a menu in a different spot that the other apps. At times it can be frustrating since you do not have it in the sameplace for everything, but I am starting to like the 'no hardware button' concept with ICS.
    3. Give us the ability to create shortcuts to any setting and application (IE, i want to be able to jump directly to Developer Options, or I want to have a shortcut for Voice Search on the bottom of my screen.)
     There is a shortcut to settings in the notification bar. Press on the settings icon looking thing, and it will bring you to the settings menu. Not as nice as a shortcut to the specific setting, but this allows you not to take up home screen real estate with a shortcut to settings.

    Not a feature that I would want personally, but that is nice about Android..... different strokes for different folks, unlike Apple where everyone has to have the same hardware.

    You are right.... this is a good phone. I came from the Droid X world, and having a phone without blur is simply great. Apps run much better, less problems with apps and it works good for me. One thing I noticed, I have an app I use when driving, which gives me my speed, direction, and the temp of where I am currently located. On the X, sometimes it took up to three minutes for the GPS to start working. With the Nexus, the GPS is working with 20-30 seconds.

  • No doubt the best phone ever made!!!!

    Hi,
    I cannot yet buy an iPhone as i live in the UK but i have no doubts in my mind that when it comes out i will be stading in line.
    Was at work today and i noticed one in a customers hand (from San Francisco), just from the size of the screen i knew what it was.
    It was like having one of Apples videos demonstarting the phone infront of me, saw the golden gate bridge on google maps, watched a video through the iPod function and even located his grandma's house via her contact dress in google maps.
    Those of you that have one don't know how lucky you are.

    Oh, I do know how lucky I am. I'm still geeking out over the fact the phone can sense when I move it up to my ear to instantly turn off the screen and turn it back on when I move it away.
    Sure there are a few kinks but this really is what a mobile phone should be. Easy for us to take things like this for granted but wow. Really is a great product and it's really nice to see such quick support in the form of applications and sites optimized for the iPhone.
    I certainly look forward to software updates by Apple and everything else that will enhance this device.

  • Kudos to the best phone company in America

    I had Verizon for 9 years and have recently moved to an area without Verizon. I don't feel the need to disparage other companies but the area service providers are terrible. For those of you complaining about Verizon, you should try anything else. I am not a plant, I run a home business. I have been without phone for 3 weeks trying to get set up with internet and phone. It is a travesty. Verizon was always reachable and their workers are much better trained that what i have encountered recently. Thank you for 9 great years of service.

    Thank you for your kind words! I'm sorry we don't have service in your new location, but if you ever move back to an area where we serve we'll welcome you back with open arms! Best of luck to you!
