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.

 Good overall, some quirks January 1, 2009
Overall, this is a good, cheap, basic phone. It works fine for text messaging and phone calls, which is about all I use my phone for anyway. It will keep a charge for 1-2 weeks if not used, and stays charged through even long phone calls.
There are a few annoying quirks to this phone, though, and doing research on this phone before I bought it, I discovered others had a similar problems:
1. If you reject the call, sometimes the phone will freeze and you'll need to turn it off and back on again.
2. If you let the phone ring and don't answer a call, it will continue ringing indefinitely, even after the caller has hung up or left a voice mail message. I've left my phone at home when I left for work, and got home in the afternoon with my phone still ringing from a 9:00am phone call. If you try to answer it then, it freezes and/or makes the three-tone beep in your ear.
3. The alarm clock doesn't work properly. It likes to go off around 3:30am regardless of what time you set it for. When it goes off at 3:30, you can check and it says the alarm is actually set for 6:30 (or whenever it was set for). Sometimes it will go off at several different times during the night.
*All of the above problems are intermittent, none of them happen every day.
 i love nokia but this phone sucks December 15, 2008
well i wanted a very basic phone and thats why i bought this one. Phone is sturdy as all nokia bar phones are. the only problem is it hangs quite frequently when i receive a call. keypad wont work and i have to restart the phone everytime it hangs.
I am in the process of sending this phone back..may be its one bad device but it sucks nevertheless. I wont buy it again.
nice little cell phone but major problem November 7, 2008
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.
Basic phone,good price October 6, 2008
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..
