| summer2205's Full Review: Nokia 5185i Cell Phone |
I bought my Nokia 5185i phone at a local Verizon store in Dallas. I was first lured by their great service plans and then they offered me a few different phones. The Nokia 5185i is their most popular phone, and I'm not surprised. I've seen many people with this phone because of it's durability, convienant size, and it's easy to use. Even my mom who can't turn on a computer is able to easily work this phone. Another deciding factor was the low cost. They are easy to find in the $20-$30 price range, however, mine was $30 and had a $30 rebate. So I now have a free phone which is great.
Good features of the Nokia 5185i...
-changeable colored faceplates which make it popular for teens and adults. There are options of about 10 different colors plus you can find an infinite amount of other patterns from private dealers.
-Phonebook features makes for one touch dialing. Enters around 100 numbers as well as e-mail addresses.
-Messages: both voice and text messenging availiable. Easy to get to your voicemail box by dialing your own number, pressing the pound key, and your numeric password.
-Call log: Shows your missed, received, and dialed calls.
-Games- three games of Memory, Snake, and Logic. My personal favorite is snake.
-Ringing options: Over thirty different types of fun tones. You can also adjust the ringing volume, messege alert tone, and how many times the phone rings.
-Keypad lock feature. Locks the keypad of the phone.
-This phone is also very durable, I have dropped it many times and it is very sturdy and nothing happened.
-It depends on your service provider but I have always had great reception on this phone. All my calls have always been clear. There is also an indicator on the main screen of the phone across from the power indicator which shows the level of reception in the certain area you are in.
The phone also comes with a plugin charger. It shows on the phone how much power is left and after about thirty minutes of charging, the power is fully restored. There is also a car charger which is great to let the phone charge while driving or when you're on a trip.
The only con I can think of is that this phone is not as fancy as other phones on the market at this time, which is reflected in it's low price. It doesn't have internet features, it's not as small as other phones, etc. However, this phone is perfect for somone that doesn't need all these features and uses the phone occasionally. I definitely recommend this phone.
