Good Points

Cheap, basic, easy to use, battery life, light, small (and it has a snake, haha, the memories!)

Bad Points

None, except maybe no wap.

General Comments

I have two phones, and so my second phone doesn't have to be very exciting. I got this because "it gets the job done". It calls and texts. I say that it has no bad points because if you are thinking of buying this, you will know that this a bit retro by not having a colour screen, camera, bluetooth, infrared, wap, etc. So by not having these features is not really a bad point as it is an entry level (budget) phone. And for just £20 on Virgin, you cant go wrong!

In the box was just the sim card, phone, battery and charger.

This phone is able to play mp3 ringtones (it has some provided). The only other way to get ringtones on, is how people used to back in the day, by sending it over a text message.

The battery life is very good. Longer than the lastest feature phones as you'd probably guess.

And, of course, its a Nokia, so it is easy to use. Also, as I was used to more modern phones, the 1112 having a 4-way directional key is very handy, rather than the two way key on retro Nokias. It also has a composer.

It also has a message counter, which I was quite surprised about! It also has reminders and converters (so it can work well as a business phone to an extent). If the * key is pressed and held down, then a clock appears, and sounds, its a talking clock!

Its very light, solid and compacted. Very pocketable! Or if you have a handbag, you can fit it in along with your purse and make up etc!

Knowing this phone was basic, and having the Nokia E70 as a main phone, I wasn't bothered about features, but I thought it might have wap, but it doesn't. But that doesn't matter too much for me, as my E70 is 3G and wifi.

Overall a small, cheap, cheerful and basic phone with good battery life!
