Several stores have told me the 1208 is being discontinued as a phone offered by SO. Can anyone else confirm this?

And if this is the case, does anyone have suggestions as far as an equivalent low-end phone that still has good reception and general phone qualities (speaker/sound/battery life)?

I would not be surprised, Speakout rotates their stock regularly. I will miss it. The Nokia 1661 is a pretty dismal replacement. I happily turfed my 1661 to the first person with $40. I still kind of regret selling the 1208.

I should add there is nothing really wrong with the 1661 other than lower volume and it is locked. But it felt like it was built like and programmed like a low end Korean phone. The 1208 felt indestructible, it's ancient firmware was oddly reassuring.
