Product Description
Features of this slim, basic GSM phone include a color display, speakerphone, changeable faceplates, and polyphonic ringtones.
Amazon.com Product Description
Featuring a color display with up to 65,536 colors, speakerphone, changeable faceplates, and polyphonic ringtones, this basic GSM phone is not to be overlooked. 
Changeable faceplates and a brilliant color screen make the 1600 a great mobile companion. | 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. Calling Features
The 1600's address book can store multiple phone numbers, as well as physical and email addresses. Meanwhile, the phone's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included, as is a vibrating alert. Ringer IDs let you assign specific ringtones to particular callers. Name-based voice recognition dialing lets you dial numbers with the sound of your voice. Messaging, Internet and Tools
The 1600 is a natural mobile messaging companion with support for text and picture messaging. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. Imaging and Entertainment
The 1600 is designed for flexible mobile fun. Full color screen savers can be set up to fit your personality. And don't forget that the 1600 comes with three of the following games: Snake Xenzia, Dice, Cricket Cup, Pocket Carrom, Soccer League, Adventure Quiz, Rapid Roll (selection is area dependent). Vital Statistics
The Nokia 1600 weighs 3.0 ounces and measures 4.09 x 1.77 x 0.67 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 450 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM 850 and 1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

 nice little cell phone but major problem November 7, 2008
Hussam Nosair (earth)
nice cell phone. i like the compact and simple style. however, there is bug in the operating system. it does unexpected behaviors sometimes. other times it freezes and you need to turn off and turn on. i dont know if it is possible to fix by reinstalling operating system through USB connector.
 basic phone at a great price October 24, 2008

My old phone had terrible reception ever since I had bought it. Since I was going to be traveling, I wanted a reliable phone. This phone got great reception and has everything I need in a phone. Not alot of "bells and whistles," but has basics and the battery life is wonderful. I used to have to recharge my old phone everyother day, this one lasts over a week before it needs a charge. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good phone with great reception thoughout the US. FYI, I have AT&T service.

Easy to use phone with a great battery life and fair price. I didn't need all kinds of bells and whistles. Keyboard letters a little small for texting but overall I am very satisfied. I did not want to be saddled with a 2 year extension from my cell phone provider so an unlocked phone was key..
Did not work October 2, 2008

I puchased this phone with the aid of the Amazon cell phone specialist and told him if was to be used with a SIM card in Europe and the Black Sea. He assued me it was an unlocked phone and if ordered with the appropiate SIM card also being offered by Amazon it would work. Needless to say it didn't work at all in Europe or the Black Sea area and when I contacted Moble, the SIM card company, they told me the phone would only work in the US. This was very poor advice from the Amazon cell phone expert and fortunatly we didn't have a serious emergency where we needed to be reached or had to call out. Also Amazon as not been cooperative in resovling this issue and allowing me to return the phone for full credit.
 well... September 30, 2008

Considering this was a few years newer than my previous Nokia 3125, I figured it would have the same qualaties at the very least, if not better. Unfortunately my old phone turned out to be far superior to the 1600. This phone is similar, and I couldn't find the 3125 for less than at least one hundred dollars more, so I went with the cheaper model. Long story short... it shows. A lot of the things on this phone are the same. The fact that I cannot save a text message, cannot view any kind of picture sent to me by another phone, and most importantly cannot send a text message without it taking numerous tries in just about any environment makes this phone kind of a downer. I'm sure there are a number of other things about this phone that annoy me, but those are my main complaints. I have had numerous brands and styles of cell phones, and after going through a number of options, I liked Nokia 3125 the best. It was simple, intuitive, and fit my needs. Hoping I could get the same quality in this phone for slightly less money, I gave up a lot in the quality department. Don't get this phone unless you are down to your last 50.00 dollars and need something to communicate with.
