Hi All
I am using this model from 4 months.
Issues: Phone speaker and Ringtone speaker are same so, when u talk all nearby plps can hear ur conversion and its echo.
Solution: Please block the backside Speaker holes from any tiny tape, everthing will be fine even echo will not be there. But ringtone volume will low

I just bought this unit and it costs Php1150 in the Philippines (around 26usd). Firmware is at version 4.20, I have read that there is now a new firmware version 5.80. Anyone tried the new firmware?
Here's what I can say about the unit -
PROS
a. Keypad is big. I like it because my thumbs are big and it makes texting very easy.
b. Monochrome display for the retro look! Im 29 years old and it is nice to reminisce the good old days.
c. 3.5mm jack. I was trying the FM radio but it asks that it needs enhancement. I tried a Php100 (around 2usd) headset/mic combo lying around the house I use for skype and it works on the nokia 1280! I can also use the headset for making calls.
d. Simplicity of features. Cellphones should be able to call and text. FM function is a plus. I dont need a camera phone because I already have a PNS digital camera. I dont need a wifi phone because I already have a laptop with decent specs.
CONS
a. Earpiece volume is low. Not a major issue, I can use a headset.
b. Echo when call volume is set too high.
c. Voice leakage but not a major concern for me. I can use a headset.
d. Ringtone volume is low, even when set at maximum volume. Maybe firmware 5.8o fixes issue?
Overall I am satisfied with this unit. I bought this unit because I lost my samsung m150 and this is the most affordable phone for the features that I need.

oz just remove the back cover and apply a transperent cello tape on the ventilation. this will help reduce the echo and others wont be able to hear ur conversation.
