Summary: TURNS OFF, PIECE OF JUNK
Review: This is my 2nd 2260. The first one kept turning off with no warning brand spanking new out of the box. I returned it with a $14 mailing charge, and now the replacement phone - 5 days old_ is giving me double letters on the screen, misssing letters, and then turnes off as I tries to answer it. It is a piece of junk. THANKS A LOT AT & T.

Summary: A good Basic Phone for those with limited needs
Review: This is my second Nokia with the same basic structure. Yes I drop it, but that's my fault...not the phone. It survives. For those of us that just want a phone without the bells and whistles, it is a servicable option. It is easy to read and I like how lit up it is. The key pads are large enough for my old man fingers to work, although the "K" is a bit hard to read. I miss the ability to have multiple phone numbers listed for one address book entry but I worked around it. As I said, I am older and I liked the weight and substance of the phone. Some of these little new phones with all the "stuff" on them are very light and small. In my mind I can't help but think "cheap". Some of the complaints in these reviews are caused by problems with the service rather than the phone. Or some are because the phone lacks certain features. Well duh...don't expect a phone you're getting for $ 10 or less to match all the bells and whistles of a $ 300 high tech machina ex deus. For those with basic, realistic expectations this has been a a great telephone.

Summary: If you miss your old nokia...
Review: This one makes having to upgrade a little less painful. I miss my bigger older Nokia (can't recall the number). It doesn't have all the polyphonic bells and whistles those expensive phones have but a cell phone is a cell phone. It's not a camera and it's not an instant messenger. I believe in multi-tasking but let's not get ridiculous.

Summary: Poor reception
Review: This phone does not work in many of the places my old Nokia did, e.g., my house, my car, parked by any building, etc. or inside a store. It is virtually useless. I think it is the internal antenna that causes the problem. I am returning it and reactivating my 5 year old Nokia with external antenna.

Summary: No problem phone
Review: This phone is nothing special but it is reliable. Holds all my number and never gives me trouble. Would be nice if call time and *date* were displayed, and the standard Nokia ring tones are crappy, but otherwise it's been a really solid phone.

Summary: Ok phone
Review: This phone is pretty good. If you are looking for games and polyphonic ringtones you shouldn't get this phone but if you are looking for a nice phone that works well get this one. It has a really cool blue background light. This phone is easy to use. I agree with one of the reviewer saying that this phone is easy to drop. It is but it is well made and droping it doesn't seem like a problem. For me it has good reception. Overall I would reccomend this phone.

Summary: clear, easy-to-see display
Review: While it is larger than some of the tiny flip-phones, it has a nice solid feel and clear sound. I find the display very readable. The keys are a good size with just the right touch. I previosly used a Motorola V-120 and I prefer this Nokia because it does not have an external antenna. Overall, a great phone!
