| beldorf's Full Review: Nokia 6162 Cell Phone |
I got my new cell phone in December. So far, I love it.
I actually got it for free, because of the rebates they were offering at the time.
Actually, I was going to get the same phone, but without the flip (because it was about $50 cheaper), but the sales guy activated the wrong one. He didn't want to deactivate it and reactivate the right one, so I got the flip feature for free. (He didn't charge me for the difference).
Come to find out, I love the flip feature. If you're in the car, you don't have to search for the end button. Just fold the flip and the call ends!
I also like the memory. My old phone didn't have that feature. It makes life much easier.
I almost got a different phone because it had the voice activated calling feature. You know, when you say, "Call Bob" and the phone automatically dials for you. But that would have been an extra $100. Well, if I wasn't willing to PAY $50 for the flip, do you think I'd shell out $100 for the voice dialing? (Okay, I'm cheap. I admit it)
One other thing that I really like is the availability of the vibrating battery. I work for the Legislature, so there are times I want my phone on, but I don't want the whole world to hear it ring. Presto! Vibrate mode.
The clarity of calls is okay. It's not the crystal clear, hear a pin drop that I wanted, but it's a lot better than my old phone. Besides, remember that whole cheap issue from before? Do YOU think I'd pay more for crystal clear calls? That's right, I did the math and decided that I could live with this phone's clarity.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with my new phone.
