Cons: You can't hook it up to your PC.

I'm sure you've been surfing online or walking through the mall and seen those cool tiny flip phones that cost $200 or $100 or even more, why do they cost so much? Because of their style. The Nokia 252 isn't the coolest phone out there but it functions...

Pros: Great size, clear connections, easy to use

Cons: set up can be difficult

I bought my tracfone because of travel. You never know when your going to need help and trusting strangers to call for you is not the wisest. I can use it anywhere. It took me 10 minutes to program the features. The only annoying thing is when you...

Pros: Can fit about anywhere and do anything!!!!!
Cons: you have to get a special plan for caller id

Cons: Little buttons, cuts me off sometimes, not easy to hold

...

Cons: small buttons, programming hard to remember if you don't use it a lot

Cons: Not many features, must reactivate if no additional card is purchased

Pros: Stylish, compact, functional
Cons: can overheat

How good the the Nokia 252 is depends on who you talk to. Some people have listed cons of this phone that include dropped calls and poor clarity, but I suspect it has a lot more to do with the cellular network they're using, rather than the phone. In...

Pros: Stylish,light, small, easy to use.
Cons: Not a lot of extra features.

I got the Nokia 252 for $32.00 when I signed a year contract. It works fine and is small enough to fit into my bag and big enough not to get lost too easily. I have had problems with the clarity being fuzzy when I'm using the phone. While it was under...

Pros: voice mail, light weight, attractive
Cons: not as clear or reliable as should be

This phone is supplied to me by my company and the only choice I had in the matter is what color/design "face" I wanted. Incase you are curious,
