I did not buy this phone on my own but bot this phone from my classmate for back purpose in 2005 for Rs.1700. And then the phone has come cross very harsh roads.
Like once, fell into water tub and got its screens out of working but started working again after I put the phone under sun. Then again fell into salt water accidentally when we were playing at the beach.
Went dead for few day, but came into life after rice bag treatment. Have changed battery twice and would have dropped the phone for over more than 30 times.
But after all these "The phone is still working the best".
Though I am currently using My Nokia Lumia 1020 and Nokia N70, this Nokia 1100 is by back up phone and I still use it at my home as a "Torch".!
This phone proves "God of Old" always.
Specification attractiveness -
1) Phone build - As I said above, yes, this phone is the true cousin of Nokia 3310. Very strong.
2) Screen and keypad - Best in class screen available in two colors(green basic and white) with no change in size. Keypad is rubber made, best when is new, but when u keep using it, the numbers on it starts to get erased.
3) Battery backup - WOW! super excellent. I have change the battery twice and now using the third but local battery. But may it be any BL-5C battery u use for this phone, for minimum usage, the battery easily stays on for over 6 days. And with hard use, not less than 2 days.
4) Signal strength - U use any SIM or connection, the signal is always full. Never comes down a bar. NEVER. ever if u r a remote location, phones like Lumia and iPhones will go "no service", but this phone will at least 2 or 3 bars.
5) Other Features - The other best feature of this phone is its "LED Flash Light" which is also the highlight of this phone.
OVERALL, this phone is the best "Made for India" home.
