Nokia 800 Tough 2.4" 4GB 512MB RAM 2100mAh IP68 Rugged Cell Phone (GSM Only, No CDMA) Factory Unlocked - 4G LTE International Model No Warranty (Black)

I am a bit surprised to see the price for this phone at double the price from Europe (where I ordered mine, for barely 100 $ compared to the >200$ US price displayed here). In Europe, it's sold and kept in store by Amazon, which probably explains the "proper price". Without dwelving too deep on what my job is, I am going to explain why "dumb phones" are interesting in 2020. Some people buy those for their kids. They are also widely sold in Africa or India where you need a phone to be as cheap as possible, but still be able to properly play videos, and give access to the usual social media programs like Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and so on. And there are the "security conscious" people. I use this model as main phone. It does the basics : send/receive calls, send/receive SMS and MMS content. When I need to access something that would require a smart phone, I use the Nokia 800 "hotspot" function to provide Wifi to a cheapo smart phone loaded with the few apps I might need, and that second phone has no simcard, no knowledge of any Wifi but the 800. Thus, securely giving me access to bank app or a few things. It also gives a Linux-laptop with no disk + TailsOS loaded onto a Sdcard access to Internet when I need a more powerful tool. Second phone is kept encrypted and turned off when not used. Laptop is kept off, firmware secured, and no disk device of any kind. If you are security oriented, using a non-iOs/Android phone is a step. Several devices passing through the 800, distributing Internet to second device which does the VPN itself propagated to a secured-laptop is the second step. This is a good phone for this. Source code for its KaiOS is available on Github and can be easily be customized to lock it down much further. This is the easiest phone that is both dumb and sources available to be customized for a very high security setup (I could go further down on details why but this is not the place). Very good battery life. Very fine for calls. Not fun at all to write SMS/MMS content with... Phone is pretty crappy at 2M. Resists water and spills, dust.. to the MIL-STD-810G Spec. IF you like hiking too this is a very fine phone.

Received it, but it doesn't turn on. Seller doesn't answer to messages.

I didn’t have an internet connection while outside my wifi range. Worked like a regular phone with calls and text ONLY! That being said was the major selling point for me to have at least a 4G connection while out and about. Predictive texting wouldn’t work while the settings were activated. If these 2 functions worked I wouldn’t be sending it back like I am now. Sadly, it is a wonderfully built device and I’m just upset that it didn’t work as stated

Dont use 4g as stated. It turn off suddenly

The phone doesn’t work

No levanta 4g No agarra Internet

I have used the phone for about a month. The quality of the phone is excellent, however, I have experienced the following problems. Non Critical issues: 1. Unreliable keyboard. The activation of a key triggers multiple clicks. The keys sometimes don't work and you have to press them twice. The most annoying thing is when the screen lock is activated and for the above errors you have to enter the pin 3 or 4 times. 2. Phone reception is poor to say a lot. 3. Kaios is full of many many many bugs. 4. Applications in general are limited (This we already knew is a dumb phone.) Critical Issues: 1. The phone suddenly turns off without notice. 2 The phone suddenly turns off when activating predictive text. In general the quality of phone materials is very good, however the final use experience is very very bad. I really wanted this phone works for me however the cons are too numerous and serious to have it as the main phone and much less as a secondary phone. My humble advice: wait for the next version of this phone.

This is a scam guys. The actual phone is only 100 USD

Ich habe ein normales Handy gesucht, ohne Touchscreen, Schnick Schnack und Firlefanz. Einfach nur was zum telefonieren. Ich landete bei Nokia, hier bei Amazon bestellt, dazu eine Displayfolie und nen Cover. Die Funktionen sind wie üblich durch Tastendruck. Ich war durch die vorherigen Rezensionen etwas misstrauisch, und habe also bestellt. Die Ladung nach dem ersten Einschalten lag bei 43%, das Update war Recht fix erledigt. Also ich weiß nicht, dass Handy lässt sich normal mit allen Einstellungen gut bedienen und auch einstellen. Ich habe mir vom Marktplatz gleich eine Karte runtergeladen, außer das es keine Routenfunktion gibt, bin ich voll und ganz zufrieden. Zumal sich die Karte mit den jeweiligen Cursorbewegung aktualisiert, also man weiß daher wo man auf der Karte noch nicht war, die Zoomfunktion, Darstellung funktioniert wie bei Garmin, prima. Der einzige Nachteil was ich nicht gerade bemängeln will aber kritisiere, das Displayaus, minimale Einstellung 30 Sekunden. Was soll das...!? Die 43 Tage theoretische Akkuleistung ist nicht möglich, vielleicht damals im Jahr 2019 als das Handy raus kam. Ich hatte einen Wert von 11 Tagen. Was positiv ist, Wasser- und Staubdicht, der Akku lässt sich nach Verbrauch/Abnutzung durch einen neuen Akku mittels aufschrauben des Gehäuses tauschen. Auch wenn es jetzt im Jahr 2022 etwas veraltet ist, trotzdem ein Topteil, ich habe genau sowas gesucht. Ich bereue den Kauf um die 100€ nicht. Ich habe mir paar Tage später noch eine 32GB Micro SD Karte bestellt. Eine die sich ständig beschreiben und löschen lässt. Ich habe eigentlich mit SD Karten nur schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht, funktionieren nach einer gewissen Zeit nicht mehr.

excellent produit.

Doesn’t support WhatsApp don’t buy it

The product is new and original. Good rugg ed mobile but we have arabic letters in keypad along with English.

Compré el Nokia 800 Tough 4G para dejar el smart phone y no perder la conectividad básica. Tiene whatssap, Google maps, email en el tlf y Facebook. Yo lo compré principalmente por whatssap y google maps y el email. Si quieres un móvil sin apps que te esté todo el día mandando notificaciones es perfecto. Es muy resistente, la batería dura mucho, pero no 20 días como dice. Con un uso normal dos días sin cargar. Estando en reposo una semana. Tiene bluetooth y se puede conectar al manos libres del coche. Es perfecto para dejar atrás el uso excesivo de smartphones.
