Nokia 1209 Review: A New Phone with the Bare Essentials
Not everyone is keen in owning a cellphone that is loaded with the ultimate capabilities that is comparable to a very sleek sports car. Nokia 1209 is a classic example. Despite its simplicity, this new phone is a sure attractive buy to anyone who is on a budget, for those who needs only the basic capabilities of the phone, and for those who are first time users of a cellphone.
As simple as it is, this Nokia 1209 does not mean that it lacks certain features. The nifty flashlight simply outdoes the most sophisticated phones around. The one-touch shortcut gives immediate access to many areas such as messages, calendar and phonebook. Cost Tracker is a money saver: simply set limits to calls. Time Tracker to control time spent on calls: call is automatically disconnected when the pre-set time is consumed.
And there’s more! The sound quality of voice conversations is now better with the noise cancellation filters to minimize background noise from the other end. To complete its round up of features, a dust-resistant keypad keeps the phone clean from dirt.
Nokia 1209 is indeed a respectable phone in its own right. It is still a lot of improvement compared to the previous generation low-end cellphones that we had seen.
