| Akula's Full Review: Nokia 6160 Cell Phone |
I've owned a Nokia 6160 for almost three years now. At the time of purchase it was one of the sleekest and smallest phones around. Although it's starting to show it's age it's still working well. I have used this model with several of AT&T's OneRate plans ranging from $59 to $89/month.
If you travel frequently from state to state this is a great little phone. It's small in size in will fit unobtrusively in a pant or jacket pocket. It's not as "wearable" as some of the Motorola flip phones but it's still very portable.
This model has all the standard options found on newer digital phones like voicemail, multiple ringer tones, call logs as well as a few simple games, calculator and calendar. I especially like the key guard to help alleviate accidental dialing.
I'm very impressed with the build quality. I've dropped my phone many times and it's still humming along without any problems. It's showing its fair share of scratches but it's never experienced any mechanical problems.
Most of the accessories are very expensive. If you have to drive and use your own you might want to invest in a Jabra headset. I've used several and the Jabra works very well with this Nokia model.
Overall this has been a great phone. It's not cutting edge anymore but it does the job and does it quite well.
