| joeonetime's Full Review: Nokia 6162 Cell Phone |
I've been using my 6162 for about 7 months, and I'm quite happy with it. I would not have upgraded from any of the 5000 or 6000 phones, as the flip is basically (in my opinion) a gimmick. I don't believe that it improves sound quality (any more than my old 5160), but it IS a functional flip (you can hang up the phone with it).
My only other criticism is that the power button is located on the front of the phone, and it can get pressed accidentally when the phone is in your pocket.
Sound quality of the phone is quite good, and battery life is also good. Don't get an aftermarket rapid charger - the one that I have doesn't give a good charge (battery starts to die after 1 day of standby) - when I charge it using the factory charger, it will hold a charge for about 2 days (including a fair amount of talk time).
Shape of the phone is good, it's comfortable to use - although the jack for the handsfree mike make the phone a bit akward to put in your pocket (when you have the handsfree plugged in)
