Nokia 105 (4th Edition) all carriers 1.77 Inch UK SIM Free Feature Phone (Single SIM) – Black

Great little phone that meets the new school requirements

Item as described, good seller.

At first you'd be forgiven if what you were ordering was a quality Nokia product, but despite how simple the phone is, Nokia get the design wrong in every conceivable manner. Where to begin? The navigation pad in the middle of the phone is over-sensitive, flimsy, and small, often misinterpreting inputs, such as pressing up as meaning 'okay' or moving left when you try to accept or read something. This makes navigating the menu and trying to read text messages an unpleasant experience. The worst part is the pad controls the torch by pressing up, and is very easy to accidentally activate the torch just trying to press centre to go to the menu. This means hassle in turning off the torch. For some reason, rather than mapping the right button to something sensible like operating the torch or messages, it is bizarrely set to 'alarm', because apparently an alarm clock is more important than 'contacts', 'messages' or even the torch? There doesn't appear to be a way to re-map this button's usage either. The tiny size and over-sensitive nature of the pad make it a terrible choice for older people, especially if they have any hand tremors or difficulty with small buttons and is not recommended for seniors looking for a simple button control system. Text messaging doesn't seem to allow manual text typing and instead forces you to experience it's unpleasant real-time autocomplete by default. It's possible to disable this for one session, but you will have to disable it *every time* you go to write a text or edit a text message. The "ganes" the phone claims to have are actually only one game - Snake - and the other ones (Air Strike, Sky Gift, Tetris, Nitro Racing, Ninja Up) all clog up menu space - blocking access to the options menu - demanding a whopping rip-off of £5 EACH to buy. For comparison, smartphone games are either free, ad-based or cost something like 0.99p each. Apparently Nokia actually thought that people would pay money for outdated games to play using their terrible pad control system. There's no option to remove the unwanted non-games either. The bad design doesn't end there either; if you've plugged in a headset or the charge cable and wanted to remove the back cover - you can't. For some reason, the ports are inset inside the battery cover, so the plugged in cables literally block removal of the cover until they are unplugged. The fix for that would have been surprisingly easy - cutting out the holes to make them open-ended so it slides past the plugged in cables. The phone, unusually, requires a full sized SIM card and not a micro or mini SIM card that has become more prevalent. The phone is incredibly slow, almost unresponsive, on powering up - taking 5 to 10 seconds to even show a lit screen, sometimes requiring multiple extended presses for anything to happen, and you wouldn't be blamed if you thought the phone was defective. The only thing that stands up to scrutiny is the battery, which does indeed last days, but a battery doesn't give Nokia much room to screw up, so it's not surprising it's the only thing that works as intended. Recommend to avoid!

I needed this phone as an emergency replacement whilst my significantly more expensive phone was being repaired. Pros: Exellent battery life, double sim slots, sound quality is fine. Cons: Many steps needed for simple things eg just sending a text is a multiple step process- this is not in fact a simple phone And cannot do an number of things expected of a basic phone and pensioners etc would be better looking elsewhere. The phone and keys are very small, I have small fingers so it’s not so bad but can’t imagine using this if I had manly fingers. It is not easy settling the sims correctly as they go into a slot which has too much wiggle room for them so it was trial and error getting them in place. All in all considering the price I would say that this is great to leave in the car for emergencies and will be a great short term cheap alternative for me but if I had to have it longer term it would frustrate me to the core!

Seems ok , feels a bit like a toy but works well for the price

I bought this phone as a replacement for my old Nokia 105. I only use mobiles for ringing and texting so this seemed a good replacement. I charged it up and within 24hrs had to send it back :( the reason was the size of the text font, it was far to small and feint, I need glasses to read up close but with my old phone I could hold it away from me and read without the need for glasses - ideal in the middle of the night when you don't want to look round for your glasses! and there was no option to increase the size - this phone is not fit for it's intended purpose. Also the advertised games (not that I was really going to use them) were only free (5) trials after that it was £5 per game to buy. Each game had its own icon (rather than them being listed under one 'games' heading) and these took up space on the main screen, pushing the useful 'tools' icon down meaning I had to scroll when needing it. Sadly I have to say this phone wasn't for me.

I have a smart phone but don’t always want to be carrying it around especially at weekends so I was looking for a basic dumb phone and chose this one. Pro’s Very compact and with basic functions, phone, calculator, touch, snake game, contacts and messages are what you get. Battery life is good for 2 to 3 days. The phone takes a full size SIM card It comes with a charger Con’s If the battery goes flat you lose time and date (contacts are not affected) and have to enter them again The navigation button is very sensitive Conclusion Overall I am happy with the phone , it does what I want which is the main thing for me.

This burner takes me back 20 years when I was kid, playing games like snake, learning to text, and prank calling friends whenever I switched numbers. The battery life is impressive, lasted me for days on standby, and the phone holds up pretty well too. So far been dropped from five-foot heights twice and has yet to twitch on me. The only thing I found irritating from time to time is using the navigation button as it sometimes wouldn't properly navigate to the app I want to use, but I suppose the fact that I have big thumbs doesn't really help. It's a good phone to use overrall. Personally I use this phone as a backup for when my main one dies whenever I am out and I haven't a powerbank or an outlet for it to recharge. One thing to note - if you let this phone shut down or die for quite some time between power cycles, the date and time on the phone will go back to its default setting (eg. Jan 01 2021) which you will have to manually rectify the next time you power it on.

Es ist so wie man es kennt

Bonjour Merci Amazon
