This phone seems to be failure-prone.

My brother has a Nokia 1100 that, some time ago, became unable to make or receive calls. Just as another 1100 he got earlier. Anyone knows if this has happened before? 201.153.245.174 02:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly enough data to draw a conclusion from, even if original research was acceptable. I have been unable to find any articles or reviews indicating a problem, and my own 1101 has worked without problem for years, through harsh usage and on multiple networks.

Your brother is a chop. I've had my 1100 and my gf for 5+years and no problems. Still has about 2 weeks standby time. Charge it 1nce per week. I cannot bring myself to buy a newer phone since this one is so reliable, and I have no interest in useless "features". --196.210.136.3 (talk) 12:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The picture was poorly taken

Someone take a better one. PLEASE!

I've seen better, but it's very far from the worst photograph on Wikipedia. At least it's in focus, taken straight on and with a neutral background. If you have something better, please feel free to add it, but I wouldn't go so far as to say the current one "SUCKS". Fourohfour 17:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

haha yea I know, I just took a better one Haxorjoe 22:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I corrected the "colour" spelling error. This is not wikipedia.co.uk. This is wikipedia.pork. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.147.251 (talk) 02:31, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have some additional technical info, which could be of interest (I worked on the 1100 during development and production)

- The phone was constructed in Copenhagen, Denmark, where Nokia Mobile Phones has a large R&D center. The product program (which handles production, sales and logistics) was placed in Beijing, China. It uses SW-components from Nokia sites in many places, but the majority of the maintenance of the rather mature codebase, was done in Copenhagen.

- The software is an evolution of the 3210 and 3310 'S30'-software, these phones are based on Nokias 3rd generation chipset.

- It uses Nokia's now obsole 4th generation chip-set, which was more cost-effective than the previous version.

- The software and content (Icons/Fonts/Text) can fit into 2 Mbytes of Flash-Memory (This is probably a world-record, if you take functionality into account). You can find both 2M, 4M and 8M byte flash memories in the phone, pricing and availability decided what was mounted in production (the SW is the same, but reads and adapts drivers to the actual configuration).Nokia is a Just-In-Time producer, many of the components spend less than 24 hours in the factory before they are mounted in the phone.

- There are three distinct SW variants, One US, One Chinese and one for the rest of the world. The difference is frequency bands and - for the Chinese version - some codecs (for AMR, adaptive Rate Modulation) was removed in order to fit in the Chinese font set.

- Reliabilityvise it is one of the best Nokia phones ever (but when you make 200.000.000, some millions are likely to fail). It should be, it is also one of the simplest phones.

- Production of the 1100 was done mainly in China, South Korea and Mexico (minor production runs could have been done in Hungary, Finland and Germany, but I don't recall that)

- The CPU is a ARM7 macrocell, the DSP is a TI design, they are situated on the same chip.

- The chipset contains approx. 300Kbytes of RAM, which is divided between the CPU and DSP (a minimum of shared memory is used, too, for inter-CPU communikation. No external RAM (which the chipset allows) is used for cost-reasons.

- The 1100 SW was used as basis for a number of successor phones (some abandoned in mid-development, others completed, e.g Nokia 2300, which was developed in parallel). —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClausVind (talk • contribs) 07:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I actually have one that was made in Germany. Purchased it in the Czech Republic in September 2004, when I spent a year studying there. Used it with several carriers since, now in Israel... it is the best phone ever, it does what it's supposed to do - CALLS, and calls, and calls; you need to do heavy work to get the battery empty. :) In fact I consider it my 'survival phone', it's an excellent thing to have with you on hikes in the desert, forest and mountains, because it has 1) a huge battery life, 2) quite strong reception, 3) it can handle a lot (falls, rain) without failing. --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 15:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No such model 1100i, prepaid tracker is on 1110i model.

Stop adding 1100i, there is no such model. It's mistaken from 1110i. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.110.181.186 (talk) 12:59, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
