Nokia 1600 is an entry level phone by Nokia and it is essentially aimed at the beginners, who are looking forward to a smart solution to their calling needs. It has also been touted as the coloured version of Nokia 1100. There is nothing very attractive in the make or the features of Nokia 1600, and its comparison with the basic Nokia 1100 makes it all the more plain and lesser significant. However, it shouldn't be ignored that the Nokia 1600 is compared to the world's most selling handset (Nokia 1100) and not all mobile phone users are very fond of the fully loaded phones that are piled with a plethora of high end features that make no sense to the ordinary consumers, who buy a mobile phone for their calling needs.



However, when we analyse this mobile phone in comparison to its other rivals that are in the same group, we realise it is a better grade model. Say for example its screen, Nokia 1600 has a CSTN screen that displays a panorama of 16,000 colours through it. It is a compact looking candybar phone that has very comfortable navigation with its keypad that is quite easy to use. Also, this phone weighs very light at 85 g, so that it can easily slip into the pocket of its user. The coloured screen looks innovative and also an attractive addition in this device. The four way scroller navigation key is also simple to use.

The battery backup of this mobile phone is very nice with a standby time up to 450 hours and the talk time worth 5 hours and 30 minutes. The memory of this is also good at 4 MB that is sufficient for the storage of the data. The handset is sufficiently handsome as far as the looks are concerned. It has been equipped with some MP3 grade ring tones that make it much attractive and stylish as well. Since there is a lack of all the high end features, Nokia 1600 is reasonable priced. So, it is the best bet for those who don't have a big budget in buying a mobile phone. However, the handsets in the same slab like Nokia 2600 look smarter and very attractive than nokia 1600, but with a device like Nokia 1600, you won't have a dearth of style either.
