| cole12885's Full Review: Nokia 5185i Cell Phone |
I’m 16 and just got a Nokia 5185i two weeks ago. Up until then, I've used my mom's cell phone...another Nokia that doesn't even have a chance against this one. My mom got this one for me for my birthday. I have to confess- I love it! I've wanted one for the longest time now...and I'm SO glad I chose the Nokia 5185i. I was originally looking at this exact site at Nokia 5160s, but found that there were discontinued. Hey, that's okay...this one is even better!
Functions-
This phone has everything! I got a great deal on mine- I got the phone for free and I'm paying $30 a month for 100 minutes and unlimited minutes on weekends. I got free voicemail, caller ID (which really comes in handy when you don't want to leave your phone on all the time but you still like to know who has called), and call waiting. You can also get text messaging, call forwarding, 3 way calling, handset protection, and roadside assistance. I really like the voicemail. I can check it from my cell phone and home phone which is really handy. One of the best things is that I just press #611 and I am automatically connected to customer service...and the people there really do answer your questions. They're really helpful...and it's free. It's not even included in your minutes. The other great functions are different ring tones (tons of them), a phone book, call log (if you have caller ID), text messaging (if you have it), an alarm clock and even games. I love snake...but I'm pretty bad at it. I think I need more practice.
Overall-
This phone is very reliable. The reception is exceptional for a cell phone. It's like I'm using a home phone. The menu is easy to use, the buttons are big enough even for an older person to use (not tiny like some phones). The changeable cover is a definite plus (especially for a teenager). It's small and light weight. I can stick it in my coat pocket and forget it's there. Everything about this phone is great!
