            I waited for this phone to be released but I got impatient and got the 1202 instead now that this phone is released I got one but I went back to using my 1202. My main complaint about the 1280 is that after sending a text message it goes back to the main screen and not the text editor screen. I hope that future firmware updates for this would fix this "problem".

            BTW, I saw a promo in a mall where you buy 4 units of 1280s for 750 pesos each and you can charge it to your credit card. too bad I cannot convince 3 friends to buy this unit.

                            To all 1280 owners,
                            if u want to settle voice leakage problem, u can stick a small masking tape to cover the earpiece and use the back loudspeaker as earpiece instead.

                              what the hell are u saying man
                              who says that this cell have no calculator just open ur eyes and search ur cell gently

                              there is a calculator in extras
                              this is the best cell ever according to text
                              love this cell due to its texting key pad
                              yes lil disadvantage of its earpiece is not such great
                              and sound is clear through back side speaker

                              i think so nokia is saving some money by saving ear piece in this cell phone :P
                              the speake phone is being used as ear piece in this cell phone


                              over all this ell is awesome

                                  everything is ok for basic mobile phone. but you have to turn around the phone everytime to answer or make a call.due to very bad and low quality of earpiece

                                    My 2 cents about user experience with this handset which should also answers to some of the questions asked here:

                                    -> This set does have voice leakage problem similar to 1202.

                                    -> The screen goes back to standby once you send the message and not to the 'message editing' screen.

                                    -> Battery back-up is as good as the 1202, nothing spectacular. I still vouch by the good ol' 1100 for battery stamina.

                                    -> Messages capacity of the phone is 250.

                                    -> Some welcome changes in the spartan GUI of the symbian 30 doin duty in this phone.

                                    -> Games included (for 'Sale in India' handsets) are Cricket, Bounce & Snake Xenia. Nice games for killing time. :-)

                                    -> Calculator function is present (for 'Sale in India' handsets) in 'Extras' menu.

                                    -> Nokia has been absolutely ignorant since the days of 1208/1209/1202 to look into the issue of the phone restarting when messages are sent to a distribution list; restart during some other operations also. The 1280 is also plagued with these niggles.

                                    -> Keypad is big, comfy & fabulously tactile. 10/10 for the keypad. Avis texters'll love this, but again as mentioned above, restarting amidst texting will frustrate sometimes.

                                    -> Haven't tested its radio as, for 'Sale in India' handsets, do not come bundled with a handsfree.

                                    Overall, this phone does its job fairly well. Doesn't pretend anything out of its possibility.
                                    For basic telephony at a reasonable cost, this handset is recommended.
                                    My Overall rating for this handset is 7/10.

                                      It's so cool and lightweight. It has an fm radio. I own one with the color gray. I bought it in the philippines specifically in cauayan at 1190 pesos :)
