The Nokia 1100 is a basic GSM mobile phone produced by Nokia. Over 250 million 1100s have been sold since its launch in Q4 2003, making it the world’s best selling phone handset and the best selling consumer electronics device in the world at the time.

• The 1100 features a built-in flashlight, activated by pressing and holding the C key once, or by pressing it twice to lock it on when the keypad is unlocked. It can also be accessed via a menu item.

• The 1100 and 1101 are the last Nokia phones to use monophonic ringtones, which can be selected from a list of 36 pre-installed tones or from 7 self-composed ones.

• It features Nokia’s traditional-style navigational keypad, which uses a single button to connect and end calls, bi-directional keys and vibrating alert.

• The 1100 is compatible with Nokia’s Xpress-On covers (including matching battery compartments). In addition to the default light blue, orange or black, there are also dark blue, yellow, red, green and pink versions offered by Nokia, as well as many 3rd-party covers.

• It has been specifically designed for developing countries: its keypad and front face have been designed to be as dustproof as possible, and its sides are non-slip for humid weather.
