This is phone is value for money; you might feel that you are getting less but don’t forget that deal is bellow 2K.
I had Motorola L6; great phone however reception was very poor at my workplace, frequent call drops, so I was looking for some basic phone to use at my work place. 1208 seemed good fit for my requirements:
Low cost
Basic features(not striped down version i.e. in Motorola F3 there is no out box for messages)
Good reception at interior places in building
White back light(could be color but not yellow)
As I already mentioned don’t expect much and don’t try to compare with high end phones. It makes/receives calls sends/receives SMS.
Screen seems large however active area is really small(3 lines of SMS could fit). Flash light is powerful and nice utility. Phone restarted couple of times when I was trying to configure Profiles, no other complaints so far.
