When it comes to backup phones, Nokia 1208 is the answer. It is a basic colored phone with good features. It has a bright flashlight. It has also a distribution list for GMs(group messages). Message counter, to keep track of your number of messages sent and received. The built-in themes are also nice because it can let us edit the colour scheme. This can be owned by anyone because its cheap! Around P1500-P2000 in Mall of Asia (Cellphone Area, particularly HELLO). There are 3 games for this phone: Nature Park, Cricket Cup, and Soccer League. Available colors: Red and Black. I got the black one!

Pros:

• Durable
• Handy
• Good Battery Life
• Loud Sound
• Attachable Lanyards

Cons:

• Difficult to text using one hand. (for big thumbs)
• No Radio/Camera. (indeed a basic phone)
• No infrared/bluetooth.
• Keypads would “bloat” in the future.
• No card slot. Only up to 4mb user memory.

Rate: 7/10
