Hi all,

I bought the 1208 last year and have been using it for few months. The phone did have the Goto and phone reboot bug at first. But the bugs were cleared after I had the firmware upgraded at the Nokia Care Centre (no charge since it is within the 1-year warranty).

The battery did seem to last shorter than the stated hours in the manual for first few trials. But after a few rounds of complete-discharge-and-complete-recharge, the battery power has began to last longer.

I guess if you have bought the phone from an authorised dealer, you could have upgraded the firmware and remedy the bugs free of charge, and the battery life would have improved tremendously if you had performed complete-discharge-and-complete-recharge process.

Just my two-cents worth.

            This phone is the worst phone that I bought. I know it's a low end phone but there are so many bugs in there system. When you rename the profile the phone would restart. Once I had a problem in sending messages. I thought my messages were sent becase it was saved in the sent items but I didn't saw the icon that sent "Message sent". I restarted the phone and realized that The phone had a problem. Believe me this phone is not perfect, too many Factory Defect!

                  Who cares where this phone comes from they all do the same job. This one happens to do it very well. I have had many phones, some with a camera some without and this one topps them all. Well done nokia, i say. Hurrah!

                      This phone is fantastic. I know it doesnt have a camera but it is probably the best phone i have ever had. I battery lasts 15-20 days. I will be keeping this phone for ever. I love you Nokia WOOP WOOP!

                          Made by Nokia is nonsense its not origin or country but ditort people instead of China.I doubt sets made n finland r true. Nokia only assembles the sets their never manufacturer its components. screen by samsung board taiwan body china.

                              Made n China has become customery for Nokia cheap sets. Just receive or call sma feature even contact name cant be saved more than 10 digits.The finish is clumsy yes no buttons very near dpad normal fingers to large for use. Baby set u might slip from ur hand previous 1100 series were much better and rugged. Nokia is going Chinokia.

                                      10 $ diff with chinese made and hungary.The option of multi phonebook is confusing u hav to disable it to see names saved with nos.Very silly of Nokia couldnot add cable connection. Its China everywhere and only European Names survive but Origin Made n China.
