Nokia 1260 Cell Phone

Pros: Small, lightweight, great reception, and usable features. Changeable Faceplates!
Cons: No vibrate mode; Cheap Plastic Casing

My 15-year old is a busy person—so much so it seemed like he was always trying to find a phone to call me. Since I get a great discount on cell service through my employer I decided to get him service. Not wanting to pay more than I had to, I chose...

Pros: Free after rebate, even for existing customers!
Cons: No vibrating ringer, larger then 3360, no changable faceplates

I have a Nokia 8260 with AT&T and was having spotty reception in some areas, so I decided to try an 'upgrade' to a 1260, since it was offered free after rebate. It didn't end up being any better (reception-wise) then the 8260, and is chunkier, and has...

Pros: small, utilizes wonderful Nokia menu system
Cons: no vibrating battery, no Nokia faceplates available

My old Nokia 5165 finally stopped working after a couple of years so I needed a new phone fast. My ...

Pros: Excellent price. Free hands free earpiece. Text messaging. Internal antenna. Decent reception.
Cons: Doesn't look that great, no vibrating ring, no unique special features.

After reviewing many cell phones and service providers, I finally decided on getting the Nokia 1260 as my personal cell phone.

The nokia had a lot going for it:

-It cost $49.99 at amazon.com but there was a $100 and $50 rebate so it...

Pros: Free (with mail-in rebate); good reception and sound quality; easy to use
Cons: No lithium-ion battery; Most ring tones are a little annoying; free headset (earbud) is uncomfortable.

I am relatively new to wireless service and was in the market mostly to reduce the cost of long distance calling and to add the convenience of a mobile phone. I wanted a phone that basically does all that my home phone does in terms of sound quality and...

Pros: small size, good games, lots of rings, battery life w/standby.
Cons: ugly, volume, no vibrate or speakerphone, no carrying case or belt hook, no voice activation

I received this phone from my employer. I have had several other cellular phones, and by and far, this is the worst!

Although it is small and compact, it doesn't come with any belt hook/clip or any carrying case. How are you supposed to...

Pros: good phone for a newbie to cell phones, easy to figure out.
Cons: not as many features, heavy

I just got my first cell phone last week and I'm ready to change to an upgrade! Boy, did I get into the cell phone rage quickly, or what?! I received an offer in the mail for a free Nokia 1260 phone from AT&T. On the one hand, I'm happy I got it...my...

Pros: Compact No external antenna Battery lasts for a long time.
Cons: No vibrating alert

This is my fourth cell phone and I am very pleased with it. It has good reception, which was a concern for me with the antenna being an internal one. It has better reception than my Sony Ericcson or Motorola did.

It's easy to use. I like...

Pros: Easy to use, cheap, good for newbies
Cons: Poor reception, limited features, and low volume

Wow! This was my first cell phone experience and it was defiantly an experience. This phone has some great features but lacks some that make a cell phone complete. It comes with:

35 built in Ring tones and 10 downloadable ones
A...

Pros: Very small, Free, includes head set.
Cons: Lack features that are of limited value other than impressing your friends.

After I had already ordered this phone I read the reviews and attempted to return the phone before I even received it. Thank heavens it had already shipped because that would have been a mistake.

OK, this phone lacks some features available...

Pros: I love the easy access and not hard to get things.
Cons: It doesn't have an antenna so reception is bad inside.

I love this phone i think it is better than a flip phone because it is easy access. It is also not d ...

Pros: Fundamentally usable. Well spaced buttons.
Cons: No vibrate mode, no way to change font, very limited feature set.

I am not listing the specs here, as some of the other reviewers here have already done so in much detail. I did not buy this phone out of choice - there were only two free (after mail-in rebate) phones at the AT&T showroom in Santa Clara (California)...

Pros: easy to use, basic features, text messaging, free phone
Cons: no downloadable ringtones or graphics, no internet option, no changable faceplates

When looking for a cell phone I knew i didn't need one with all those fancy features....internet, ca ...

Pros: Small, light, long battery life, good menu system
Cons: Difficult to pick up signal, sound at receiving end is "electronic"

We just upgraded from a dual band Ericsson to a tri-band Nokia 1260 on AT&T. Frankly, the Nokia is worse, from the standpoint that the voice quality is very electronic sounding, not natural at all. We have also had some difficulty making calls, although...

Pros: Great Reception, Nokia quality, great battery, e-mail & aim capable
Cons: Heavy, not pretty looking, cheap ring tones, screen scratches easily.

I bought this as my first cell phone. I like it a lot, but I don't really care for it's outside color and casing. It is also kind of heavy. I have gone on vacation to the middle of the New Mexican desert, and gotten reception. This phone also has great battery life with it's lithium ion battery. But, it is heavy and cheap looking.
