Nokia 5160 Cell Phone

Pros: Cost, Ease of use
Cons: Out of Date

Please do not rate this review on it's length.
I will start off by saying that I rarely use my cell phone. I am not very demanding of needing very fancy gadgets on it. All I was looking for in my phone was that it rings, people can hear me and I...

Pros: CLARITY!, features, battery length, good signals, weight, size, everything is WONDERFUL
Cons: If you find one, please tell me!

This is an absolutely wonderful phone. From the minute I used my mom's, I knew I needed one for myself. I've had a history of bad cell phones, and this one taught me that yes, there are really great cell phones out there.
Let me elaborate on...

Pros: All in all a great phone
Cons: Needs a volume control

This phone has been a great investment. Previously I owned an analog phone and was always a bit disappointed in the quality of the reception and the features of the phone. With the Nokia 5160 not only is the reception increased greatly, but the digital...

Pros: Features, XPress On Color Panels
Cons: Can Slip From Hand, Still Too Thick; Low Volume

I have updated my opinion twice now...

UPDATE: As I have had the phone more, I noticed that the volume of the headset is too low, even on the highest setting. You can still hear, but you may have to plug your other ear to hear.

...

Pros: Long battery life and clear sound.
Cons: High price. Wait for a deal.

If you are looking for a phone that is durable, reasonably priced and able to provide the same services as many of the more expensive phones then this is a possible choice for you. The Nokia 5160 has a very good sound quality, a long battery life and...

Pros: Compact size , Great reception, faceplate options.
Cons: Sometimes battery's do not fit tightly

This phone is a great value for the money you pay for it . Often you can get this phone for free by signing a contract for one , two or three years . I paid $99.00 for mine through a online cellular company .
This phone is a great compact size that...

Pros: Charging Time, Reception, Clarity, Nice Features but Basic
Cons: Slightly Bulky, Gets Hot when talking over 5 minutes.

I purchased the Nokia 5160 after I got fed up with a Uniden Trackfone (not digital/prepaid). The Trackfone was a piece of junk from the day I bought it, it seemed like it would charge for days and last about 3 hours of talk time (if that), had the worst...

Pros: small and cheap
Cons: none

I am on my third cell phone now and i just came down from the startac which is called the best phone, but i would recommend the nokia 5160 over that any day. When talking it is much more clear and more of a true sound when talking. The phone...

Pros: It has games you can play
Cons: It'll more than likely drop your calls

I have mixed feeling about this phone..
I bought this phone in June and in July it started to act up. After trying for 2 months to get the company that I bought it from to do something. I finally got a new phone. Only to have it act up to.
What...

Pros: Lots of options, fun games, good service.
Cons: Problems with the phone going out.

I bought this phone for several different reasons. One of which was to keep in touch with my wife, as she is out on the road every day. Another reason is to keep in touch with those people in my church. I am a pastor.

What I love about...

Pros: does everything i need it to do, changeable faceplates, very durable
Cons: none

first, let me tell you about my old phone. it was known in my group of friends as "the dinosaur." it was kind of an Erikson pre-paid nightmare!!! it was to big too fit in my purse, and it was so big, i looked like an idiot carrying it around. it was...

Pros: real light, great features
Cons: accessories where hard to find

I have always been against cell phones I feel the plans are way over priced and the bills hide a lot of hidden charges...well I still feel that way, but have come to realize that cell phones are a neccessary evil and the added convience is worth the...

Pros: face-plates
Cons: not as good as some out there

I bought this product so as to have a way to get in touch with people if something were to happen here in the cold Arctic of Alaska. It has provided me with just that. When i was in a car wreck on the hillside, far away from anyone, it allowed me to...

Pros: Easy to use, reliable, small and light weight
Cons: ringer isn't loud enough

I have to admit I've never had a bad experience with a Nokia phone. They are reliable and have all the features I need for being young.
They are cheap and affordable. They have games, a directory, you can choose your ring settings. What more do...

Pros: Price and Durability
Cons: No special effects

About 1 year ago I got this phone as an upgrade. It is small enough to fit in my purse, works every place I go, even in some elevators and is really durable. I got a case for it because I'm clumsy and I have never had problem. The hands free kit is...
