Damn, I loved the good old Nokia days. Nobody wasted time/electricity like it's wasted today. You just called or txted someone and that was it! *GOOD TIMES!!*

Set up the Nokia 105 yesterday. So far it works. Bought it for work since it does not have a camera. Will be test driving it tomorrow. Feeling positive!! I’m with Tello that attaches to the T-Mobile towers.

Excited to see Nokia getting away from KaiOS. Also - dude the font they used for the software interface - back to the old font! I love it!

Thinking of buying this for my beautiful girlfriend as her Emergency Mobile phone. She was mugged while using her expensive smartphone on London's dangerous streets, but would be safe using this. Thanks for the review.

I remember this type of UI when I got a Nokia 105 2015.
Such a good phone at its time.

I purchased the 4G version of the 105 for my mother for an absolute steal at £11.49 (Around $11 USD) Unlike the 2G version, it stores 500 texts and has 4G LTE calling for clear calls and comes with a browser and a Facebook app.

Bought a Nokia 110 4G. Extreme plastic feeling but overall it fits the needs.
Gave back the 8210, in the end i used it the same way as the 110 😅

I just got this phone, and so far it's good! Mostly annoying that you can't use the keyboard to set alarm times, and the 20 character limit for contact names. To hear how little calendar days there are is a bit of a bummer! I was really impressed with the call quality though

[Bunkerbunny]

how do you unlock the keypad please? Ive just bought this and its new but keypad locked. Also the language is in Italian, how do i change back to English please? Thanks you so much

[dattraj]

Will we get all call logs like missed, dailed, received on press of the call button ( green button)?

[drtydawg]

can you change the txt font size on this?

[Mourne]

A thing worth mentioning. The cyan version cannot be found anywhere. I like it cyan but on nokia's website I cannot select it :-(

[Francis-Gamble]

The phone I have keeps turning off, when I try to make a call, but if I remove the SIM card, it stays on. The SIM card is 10 years old. Any idea why it does this? The phone is brand new.

[mohammedifam]

How many msgs can it store, does it delete the older ones automatically or you have to clear it manually

[Sanjulanka]

How can I replace the options on the left selections key and the right selections key (especially the radio on the right selections key) with something else?

[abhimanyu-co.]

When we put the Charger on switched off Nokia 105 (2023), the mobile start while charging ON. Can't we charge while switching off phone?

[mafatahna]

Is it possible to enable roaming on this phone?

[IgPalmOil]

The phone is good, only i have small issues which with it I can't recommend it to anyone.
"While making call, it doesn't sound to alert me that the call i was making is about to enter"
I will just keep holding it in my hand for me to realize if the call i was trying to make is been forwarded or not.😠
Pls is that any way to make it better?

I tried out various newer HMD-produced Nokias, and I really hated the cheap plastic feel. Even my Nokia 105 from 2015 (made by Microsoft) feels sturdier despite it runs on Series 30+ (based on MediaTek MAUI).

[TheAikatsuFan]

forget about the iphone 16, we need to shift our focus to the Nokia 105 (now HMD 105)
