| rt001's Full Review: Nokia 6160 Cell Phone |
The Nokia 6160 is a winner in the digital phone wars. Compact size, good battery life and tons of features make this one great phone.
The size allows the phone to be dropped in a pocket, clipped on a belt or tucked between the seats in your car without getting in the way.
The battery, when fully charged, lasts forever! Talk time and stand-by time have never been an issue with this phone for me.
The different ring tones and silent feature allow the phone to be programmed with a distinctive ring or no ring at all to help you when everyone around you has a ringing phone, and be discreet when getting calls in places where a ringing phone is inappropriate.
The ability to send and receive text and numeric messages also expands the phone's capabilities, if you provider offers such a service.
Displays and menus are easy to read and follow, and even include a "help" screen that explain the functions and how to use them. Call logs are great for missed calls (caller ID required) and keeping a number you recently dialed handy. The display screen is always clear and easy to read.
The menus are logically arranged and easy to follow.
Extras such as games provide an amusing distraction for car rides and down time, and while not needed they are a great perk.
The only annoying thing I've found is when searching the memory for a number (last number dialed, for instance) it will automatically dial the first displayed number if you don't do anything. So, a movements distraction may have you frantically punching "END" before you send an unwanted call.
Pound for pound, this phone is a vast improvement over Nokia's other lines and has been a top performer for me. I only wish my provider was so reliable!!!
