| Saar's Full Review: Nokia 6160 Cell Phone |
This is the "Honda" of Cell phones. Easy to operate, rugged construction, lots of nice features, long battery life, small frame.
I had many cell phones before this one, and while they all worked, each one had it's own problems: Short battery life, bad battery contacts, breakable antenna and the list goes on. This nifty little Nokia suffers from non of these ills. I constantly abuse it and it has proven to be both rugged and reliable. This phone, just basically keeps on working.
While the interface is basically easy to use, with a large display and a menu driven operations, Don't confuse it with a Macintosh. Simple operations (storing numbers, changing profiles, ring tones etc) are easy enough, but if you want to use more complicated features, go read the manual. For example, I still don't know how to display the phones own number (except when you turn it on) even though I am sure there is a very easy way to do it. However, relative to other cell phones, this one is actually very easy to use.
Has lots of nice accessories which don't usually cost an arm and a leg (unlike some other phones) However if you want a vibrating ring, you need to purchase the vibrating battery.
