| KingGirl's Full Review: Nokia 6160 Cell Phone |
My husband and I dumped our old cell phone, you know the big old grey Motorola ones? And we got the compact Nokia 6160 digital phone.
At first sight, I loved it. It came in neat colors, you could program it, send it e-mailed messages and it even had games! Then the screen went out, You had to press really hard on it to make out any words or numbers. We took it back and got a new one. When my husband would call on the newer one, I could hardly make out three words because it was so scrambled. "Hello? <bzzzzshhhhhbzsh> Are <bzzshhbzt> you <bzzshhhhh> there? <Bzzzshhhhh>
Sooo, we took that one back! We had the same problem with the next one! We ended up going through 4 phones! The customer service at the store we purchased (and returned) the phone said they had received a bad batch. How we ended up with 4 of them I don't know! We finally gave up since we would be moving out of state anyway, and decided to be "phoneless" for the time being.
Now, a friend has one and has the same problem. He calls he we can't make out a thing he is saying! I would not pay for another one of these phones again.
Bad luck or bad phones?
