This was a replacement for an earlier "PIM" like phone and it surpassed my expecations in all areas.

Pros: Sleek, antenna-less design; features galore
Cons: Doesn't use standard miniplug headset

I just got this phone a few days ago. I was surprised that Cingular was offering such a nice phone at such a low price (about $20 with a 2 year contract). I had been a Verizon customer, but chose not to renew my contract with them when I discovered...

Pros: Multi-band: GSM, TDMA, Analog
Cons: Turns off on it's own, poor reception, poor quality phone

This phone was promoted by Cingular a few months back very heavily. It is what they call a GAIT phone which means it works on GSM, TDMA, and analog systems. This is a very nice idea, however my service with this calling plan and phone is horrible - ...

The Nokia 6340i is not a bad phone. Although it doesn't have many advanced features, like a camera o ...

Pros: Long battery live. Easy to use.
Cons: Power button flies off if you sneeze, Missing/Delayed messages

I switched from Sprint to Cingular through SBC to save some money. More about SBC and Cingular later. The switch was a nightmare. Then they sent me this Nokia. First I spent the first few weeks constantly reattaching the power button. Finally it ...

Pros: Nothing I can think of at the moment.
Cons: Powers off by itself THAT is the worst!

Well, this has to be the second worse phone I have ever had. With this phone I had problems not only with dropping calls but when I had a full charge on the battery the phone would shut off by itself, sometimes during a phone call, sometimes while I would be going through the menu and sometimes just sitting on my night table all by itself.
The reception wasn't very good with the phone either.
The black plastic piece on top of the phone where you turn the phone off fell out several times. A couple of times I dropped it maybe a foot off of the ground onto soft carpet and it would fall out. This phone easily came apart and is a cheap make. The phone is big and bulky and awkward which makes it easy to drop.

Pros: Fairly small. Good battery life. Fair features.
Cons: Turns itself off. Poor reception.

Its not a terrible phone. The battery lasts 3 days on average for me and I barely talk on it. It turned itself off constantly until I shoved torn note cards in it to hold the battery in place. The reception is the worst I have ever seen. Either it is Cingular service or this phone. Hard to turn on and off. Does not easily recognize voice commands. Faceplates are difficult to interchange and replacement keypads are junk. The top plastic piece falls out. I wish I would have payed the extra for the newer technology phone.

Pros: The light weight design makes it very handy. We like the clear "land line" quality.
Cons: Sloppy switching between transmission towers causes many dropped calls, mostly when leaving a major metro.

After using my 6340i since Memorial Day weekend I have to admit I miss my old Nokia 5160. The company I work for asks me to travel all over the upper midwest for many days in a row. I may be driving between three or four states during the weeks trip. I have had continuous problems with poor reception and dropped calls. The phone is on its third software upgrade and has not shown any sign of improvement other than some of the convenience features work better. The external antenna on the car cradle makes no improvement. My dept. has five other people traveling with 6340i's and we all have similar problems. The last dept. meeting we decided to photograph all 6 phones being run over by a car but our communications director overruled.

Pros: Voice dialing seems to work great.
Cons: Bad speaker, turns off whenever it wants to, resets itself.

Turns off by itself, which is not good if your using for an alarm clock on the road. Always has trouble going from one tower to another. Drops calls, buttons always seem like they are about to fall off. Turned the vibrate mode off because it seemed like it was vibrating it so hard, it might of fell apart! Speaker in it is not good. I had another model Nokia before this one that I loved. Cingular "upgraded" me for being such a good customer. Third phone from them and the same problems. I am now falling to the almighty corporation and purchasing a phone because I can not stand using this Nokia any longer.

Pros: Excellent signal performance, call quality, battery life
Cons: Somewhat ugly color

This is an excellent phone for anybody, especially those who travel frequently. My 6340i works almost everywhere, and in many areas where GSM-only phones have no service. It is a solid performer and can put up with a good beating.

Pros: The battery life is great.
Cons: Everything else but the battery life.

I've had this phone for almost a year now. My fiance' has the same phone. We are experiencing the same problems almost on a daily basis. Text messages are sometimes sent two to three times in the same instance. The phone freezes up sometimes when we are going through the menus. The keypad lock is great, but my fiance's phone will not lock sometimes. The phone will shut itself off. I've had drops during important phone calls. Cingular's solution to fix this ... a software upgrade. I can also buy another phone, if I purchase it for the one year contract price. Speaking of problems and hassles..... I discovered on my cell phone bill that when I do text message someone, I am being charged for the message that I send, but am also being charged for the messages that I receive. Bottom line..... Do not get this phone. It's not worth the hassle.

Pros: Long battery life
Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE

This phone is owned by myself, my husband, and my mother-in-law and we all have the same problems. This phone is very poorly constructed (the top where the on/off-switch is constantly falls off and you cannot turn your phone on and off), the reception is terrible (very high pitched ear--no matter what volume setting it's on) and (if you have Cingular) it can't be exchanged for a new/upgrade. I was very disappointed considering that Nokia is (or was) by far one of the best cellular phone makers. I found this phone to be extremely poor quality. The only upside to this phone--I only had to charge it once a week no matter how much I used it.
