Nokia 1616 Serving the Budget Segment Well!

Unabashedly basic and addressing the rock bottom of the customer spectrum, the Nokia 1616 is the phone for you if you do not expect more from it other than basic phone functions and texting. You also have the FM radio to listen to.

While, RIM (Research in Motion), Apple, HTC Corporation, Samsung are all busy catering to the higher end of the market spectrum, Nokia is probably the only mobile phone company that has made it a point to serve all the three possible segments – high end, middle and the lower end.

The Nokia 1616 admittedly may find itself totally out of place today in a market place that is over crowded with all kinds of technology heavy smartphones that seem to do multiple functions that includes a fine camera, a media player and of course, the all important mobile internet connectivity. But if a handset that only enables you to make and receive calls, send and receive text messages and listen to the FM radio is all that you require, well then the Nokia 1616 is the best in this particular category for you .

It is not that there is absolutely no competition for the the likes of Nokia 1616. The Samsung E1170 is a good rival. Though comparatively speaking there is not much to choose between these two phone devices. As it becomes extremely difficult to compare basic phone functions and the abilities of two phones to send and receive text messages. Though it can be said safely here that on both these two scores the Nokia 1616 comes as a pretty efficient phone and it is a good bet that most buyers would buy this one only when they are required to make a choice between the two.

Though the Samsung device is more better looking than its Nokia counterpart. The other big, big advantage with the Nokia 1616 is the rock bottom prices at which it is selling now. All you need is some loose change to buy this one. The network service providers are selling it as a pay as you go mobile phone handset for just £ 10. Though as an unlocked, SIM free phone handset you have to shell out slightly more £ 24. Besides these two mobile phone deals, there are any number of Nokia 1616 contract deals that offer the handset for free against monthly payment plans for sums around £ 5 per month, etc.

Over and above these Nokia 1616 deals remains that fact that this particular handset from the Finnish mobile phone veteran is available for free under so many other mobile phone deals as a free gift.

Coming back to its very basic features, the Nokia 1616 offers a talking clock, sports TFT screen and a spreadsheet that helps you in managing your finances and a surprisingly powerful flashlight.
