Kyocera 5135 Cell Phone

Pros: Small & Compact, Sleek, Stylish, Functional & Practical (During its Life Span), Some Good Features
Cons: Short Life Span, Many Future Problems, High Repair Costs, High Sticker Price, Few Extra Features

I bought this phone about a year and a half ago. I bought it for its sleek, ultra-compact design - and its beautiful blue keypad. The phone is an awesome size, and was one of the coolest cells around when I had bought it. Everything on the Kyocera worked ...

Pros: Light, stylish, easy to use
Cons: Short-life battery, Not durable, Lousy ringtones & lots more

I bought my Kyocera 5135 or S14 flip phone in January 2004. Already it is broken and I am going to have to go get it repaired or else replaced because the thing no longer works correctly. When I first got my phone, I noticed a few flaws about it. The ...

Pros: Small, lightweight, flip-phone style, lit display, lots of number storage.
Cons: static-filled reception indoors, echoing when on calls to a digital phone, prone to software problems.

I bought the Kyocera 5135 because it was nice and small, and had the cool look and some of the gadge ...

Pros: looks sharp, has a pretty blue color
Cons: arrow keys can be hard to use

I bought this phone to replace a less expensive model of Kyocera phones. It all the same features of the cheaper model, except that it is a flip phone instead of a regular handset. I like the blue color, and the different options. There is only one...

Pros: Good battery life, good reception, easy to use features
Cons: No call display on outside of case, limited ring tones, no voice activated dialing

I've had my 5135 for about a year. It's great! I'm finicky about cell phones...I had a Nokia piece of junk for about 6 weeks and couldn't stand its utter "user-unfriendliness". The 5135 is very user friendly by comparison, and if you don't require every last bell and whistle, it is more than enough. Some of the great points are the extended battery life, the bright backlight, the good reception (my phone is always the last one to conk out in malls, etc.) The three things that would improve it infinitely are: external call display on the outside of the clamshell, more ring tones, and voice activated dialing. I've never had any problems apart from losing my AC charger, which isn't the phone's fault!

Pros: flip phone clear screen good reception
Cons: battery life bad and backlight flickers alot

i had this phone for about a year in middle school and it worked perfect for me never had a problem

Pros: good reception and clarity
Cons: many of these seem to fail in the 1-2 year time frame

I have had this phone for just over 2 years and have always really liked it for reception and clarity. However, the phone now powers up with a "service required" message. Even though the Kyocera site says this "may" be fixed with a re-flash, the kyocera service centers indicate the phone cannot be fixed once this message is displayed. I would expect more life than 2 years from a "quality" phone that I purchased. Apparently this problem is quite prevalent - you can find lots of commentary on the web about this problem. Not so impressed anymore ..... I will stay away from Kyocera's from now on.

Pros: Size and style and battery life.
Cons: No speaker phone or voice recognition. But most importantly, not the best reception.

I got this phone a couple years ago and never thought I had a problem until I was in a rural area and dropped a call. I then borrowed a customer's Nokia and retried and had no problem with reception. He has the same carrier. This irritated me so I purchased a Motorola V60s. Dynamite reception. Unfortunately I dropped this phone in the toilet and had to reactivate the Kyocera. I do miss the voice activation and speaker phone but most of all I miss the better reception I had with the Motorola. However, I do love the size and design of the Kyocera. It fits in my pants pocket easily and I don't accidentally bump any buttons when putting it in or extracting it. The features are nice and plentiful. The battery life is awesome, even after 2 years.

Pros: price and the look
Cons: the signal is always low...

I bought this cell phone last year.. I had problem with it after 2 months. The volume of the conversation was always switching from very very low to high...

Pros: The reception is OK. The volume is OK. Battery life is great. Looks nice
Cons: Limited Ring Options Too many servicing issues

Needs more ringing options -- should have a silent mode or single beep, rather than only vibrate.
I got my phone 2 years ago and have had to replace it once. The first time the earpiece died and I couldnt hear anything when people called so they gave me a new phone. Now my phone says "Service Required" and I can't really turn it on anymore..maybe 1 out of 10 times it will be nice and let me turn it on. When I dial out the signal dies and I need to turn it on and off 5 times before it lets me dial. I've had too many problems with this phone -- i dont recommend it

Pros: GREAT RECEPTION, LIGHT AND FLASHY. THIS IS A VERY NICE PHONE, WITH GREAT FEATURES.
Cons: DONT BUY THIS PHONE IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT LOSE IT.

GREAT RECEPTION, EASY TO USE (STORE NUMBERS, RINGERS ETC.) GREAT COLOR (NEON BLUE!) HAS SOME GOOD RING TONES, AND ITS REALLY NICE AND LIGHT. IT DOES VIBRATE ALSO. ITS CHEAP, AND THE CHARGE LASTS FOREVER! YOU CAN BUY HARDWARE TO DOWNLOAD OTHER RING TONES AS WELL. YOU CAN ALSO INSTANT MESSAGE.

Pros: Small, great sound, terrific battery life, neat blue screen, charges fast, easy availability of accessories
Cons: sometimes won't connect(I think this is AllTel not the phone)

Great Phone! I tried the Motorola T-720 and wasn't happy. This little phone ROCKS! Awesome battery life, small, compact size, great neon blue display, clarity is as good or better than my nextel I-90. I have the Kyocera 3325 also, both great phones. I've dropped this phone, gotten it damp, etc, and it never misses a beat!
