5.0 out of 5 stars it's a classic brick nokia
what else can i say? it is a classic brick nokia. it is nearly impossible to break, and has the same UI and functionality as the world famous 3310 did, and many other models after it using the same interface.

this is not a 3G capable phone so you will not be able to use an H3G sim card, but any other should be fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor battery life - be careful if buying from Marketplace
I actually quite like the feel and functionality of this mobile - its cheap and simple. However, it claims to have 'long battery' life and it doesn't (2-3 days maximum on standby). My old Nokia 1208 was better than this, but the 105 is meant to be a much superior model.

I cannot say if this is a Nokia problem (would be surprised, as all my past Nokias have been...

does what it sets out to do, call quality is perfect, battery life is the best you'll ever get on any new phone nowadays whether it's a smartphone or not, and the torch is bright enough to check a broken down engine on the hard shoulder in the middle of the night. it's a nokia... it will serve you well, and will probably still work even after you have died from old age.

Cheap all round good phone. Easy to use, quick to turn on, has a good variety of games including snake. Has a torch which isn't that great but will help you get your key in the lock and be turned on easy. Includes all the features of a standard phone: calender, alarm, profiles, calculator etc

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect back-up/ emergency/ festival device, 24 July 2013
This review is from: NOKIA 105 FULL BLACK SIMFREE GSM UNLOCKED TORCH RADIO EASY TO USE BASIC LONG BATTARY DUST & SPLASH PROOF (Electronics)
The phone is built very solidly and in black it doesn't look as cheap as it actually is.

Compared to the Nokia 100, the 105 has a smaller screen but for a �20 phone I suspect you will not care/ notice. Everything else seems to be a one up on the 100.

The 105 has a longer battery life than the 100, with 35 days standby time. In practice it has lived up to the insane standby time, making it a great purchase.

The 105 also comes with a splash proof and dust proof keypad adding to its durability and hardiness.

It has other useful features such as an in built flashlight, a radio with fm transmitter, a speaking clock, and a hole for a lanyard strap.

For calling and texting this cannot be beaten as the call quality and reliability have been perfect and the keyboard has a nice tactile response to it.

The 105 even shares some notable design aspects from the Nokia Lumia smartphone range.

Overall, the 105 is not only everything I was hoping it would be, but also everything I needed it to be. I am surprised that Nokia makes such a relatively large profit margin on this phone: very cleverly done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 1 Sep 2013

This review is from: NOKIA 105 FULL BLACK SIMFREE GSM UNLOCKED TORCH RADIO EASY TO USE BASIC LONG BATTARY DUST & SPLASH PROOF (Electronics)
Very stylish with intuitive operating system and controls, good sound quality and genuinely good battery life.
Brilliant bit of kit!
Only negative comment is that it's a shame there's no separate switch for the torch - you don't want to interact through a keyboard and screen to turn on a torch, even just to unlock the keyboard and activate a shortcut - when you want a light, you want a light.

I bought the black one....After a few days use, I am impressed with the battery life..and especially the material of the phone and the design...It feels very nice in the hand, and the voice quality on calls is also good (which is critical).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good money for realistic expectations, 2 Jan 2014
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: NOKIA 105 FULL BLACK SIMFREE GSM UNLOCKED TORCH RADIO EASY TO USE BASIC LONG BATTARY DUST & SPLASH PROOF (Electronics)
I bought this GSM to use it only for calling and sending SMS's. And for that is working VERY VERY good.

In use the battery kept for more or less 7 days. In stand by it manage 15 days.

Very light ....you dont feel it in your hand or pocket.

If you want to remember the end of 90's ...this is the mobile....:)))....I need it when I travel and I dont use any mobile data or wifi. That means my smartphone is almost useless. And this Nokia 105 is the best replacement.

I am amazed at the quality of this little gem of a phone. They are pretty much giving it away for �20. Only trouble is that it is very hard to track down a decent case for it as it is so new.

Great battery life seriously. Even if you already have a day to day phone, this would make a perfect little emergency phone for the backpack or the glove compartment if you are going somewhere a long way from civilisation (somewhere with network coverage of course!).

Beautiful stylings and feels strong in the hand too. Hard to believe how they make them for �20.
