Looks like the problems have been sorted out on this phone with the latest firmware.
I have not turned off the phone once since I purchased it over 2 months ago. I remembered to charge it every few days. I don't use the phone on a daily basis, however.
No complaints. Build quality is great, the kids dropped it a couple of times (on the ceramic floor and the driveway) already fighting over who gets to bring it to mom or dad on the way out the door :D.
This phone is just a phone, nothing else. No thing else. That's ok, because I have a seperate PDA that does everything else that I need and more. I couldn't find a PDA phone that had EVERYTHING I needed (with a decent screen), so here was the compromise. The handsfree is great in the car, no problems hearing the person or the person hearing me.

HI all, this is the first time I am writing my opinion on my phone here.

I read the opinions and bought this phone 2 days ago. Like mentioned earlier it has few bugs like, going to "go to" will restart the phone and the battery lasts just for a day with minimal usage.

Will firmware update help resolve both these problems ?

some one please answer, thanks in advance...

I got a Nokia 1208 that switches off intermitantly when i touch the right shortcut key (Go to) i can't use my shortcuts without the phone going off, i think the technology is phoney.

Go To function is like a "favourite" function. You can put specific menus on "Go To" so you can have quick access to them by only pressing the right key. Go to "Settings" -> "Right selection key settings." Then it won't be hard to figure out how it works. Good luck!

For those facing the 'Go to'problem and other bugs, upgrade your phone firmware at the Nokia Care Centre and the bugs will be resolved. Simple solution for a simple phone.

Cheers!

PS: maybe can find some way to stick this remedy at the top of posting so that other users could stop asking the same question ;p

The Go To key is something I cannot understand and I wish something should be done about it now. Also I believe we are embracing the era of sofistication in phones and I see no reason why the phone book will just be only 200.

Ibrahim Shaka, there might be a problem at the microphone of your phone. thats why your caller cant hear you but you can hear them. your phone needs some servicing then.. ;-)
