Pros: everything Cons: none so fat
We just got the Nokia 5160 last week and are already finding it to be a great investment. We went through a site on the internet and got 300 minutes and the phone for 39.99 a month, which in my opinion is not a bad price. We will probably never use the...

Pros: VERY easy to use, good strong signal most of the time Cons: cover tabs and antenna may break, no integrated vibration, lights can't be set to off
Nokia 5160...could be called Nokia 10000 just for its flexibility and ease of use. First off, let me start by saying that this is the first mobile phone I own. I've been using it for over 8 months now, and I am very satisfied with it. But I have seen...

Pros: GREAT PHONE KEEPS WORKING THREW IT ALL Cons: none
We have a Nokia 5160. My husband uses this phone out on the farm. We have had a good cel phone experience with this phone. We never have any problems hearing people nor have we had complaints with people not being able to hear us. The only time its hard...

Pros: Lots of features for the price Cons: Doesn't get loud enough
Overall, I really like this phone, though I have one major complaint. First, the positives: The phone has great features for such a cheap phone. It is small, lightweight, and offers just about anything you could want from a basic digital phone-...

Pros: small; light; replaceable faces; simple menus; easy-to-use Cons: often difficult to access certain functions; slippery body which can easily slip out of your pocket while you're in a cab (trust me on this one); not quite as good-looking as the more-expensive 6100 series (but a MUCH better value)
I have owned many cell phones in the past (I've run through several Nokia models and a couple Motorolas) but this is by far the best one I've come across. While reasonably priced, the Nokia 5160 offers most of the functions of the higher-priced models...

Here are some of the pros and cons:
PROS
1) Inexpensive
Sometimes, you can get it for free with commitment to certain...

Pros: cute, can change face plates to match outfit, face plates are reasonable priced, small phone, easy to use Cons: games waste battery time
The beginning of this year US Cellular was offering a 1,000 minute special and you get a free Nokia 5160 Cellular phone, phone charger, and one free face plate. My parents wanted to take advantage of this and renew their contracts with US Cellular so we...

Pros: Good speed Cons: kinda easy to hit wrong buttons
I bought this phone basically for the good looks. I mean you can't have a big bulky grey thing hanging out your ear can you? However, as I continued to use the phone, I noticed very little intereference, a WIDE variety of options, and a great setup,...

Pros: Small, lightweight Cons: Service can be botchy sometimes.
When I finally got my car, my license, and my insurance all together so I could drive by myself, my parents decided I couldn't leave the house without a phone. So, since we only own two phones, I got moms phone.
The phone itself is adorable....

Pros: clarity, reliability, customizable Cons: I think it is a little expensive, look for a deal
We just got our second Nokia. It was important to us that our first one was small and rugged, but a deciding factor for us was the clarity of the signal. Nokia makes this easy for a two cell phone family by allowing us to choose different colored face...

Pros: Incredible reception and clarity, in some cases even better than a home cordless phone. Cons: Battery charger is cheap.
Cell phones are one of the new toys of the decade. It seems that the communication companies like Nokia and Motorola just can’t stop packing features (like internet and games) into the handy little gadgets. All those features and services cost money...

Pros: Tons of features and accessories Cons: No scheduler
There are so many cell phones that are out on the market today, and that can make it difficult in choosing the one that is right for you. I think one of the best phones that are out there right now is the Nokia 5160 series phone. I have had this phone...

Pros: Offers all the basic features most people will need. Cons: Lacks the calendaring features of the 6100 family.
I wound up with the Nokia 5160 because a large gentleman made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Okay, the large gentleman was the telecommunications manager where I work, and the deal involved me getting a free cell phone, and free activation, and...

Pros: Terrific Little Phone With Lots of Neat Features Cons: Color Covers Are Expensive -- But Not Necessary
I really did not like either of my previous two cell phones, so I guess I never imagined I would like this one so much!
Not that this is super important -- but it's really cute! I like the size and shape of this one so much. I recently...

Pros: I can think of absolutely none. Cons: customer service automatically hangs up on you
I ordered a phone $20 phone card from http://www.i-ontheweb.com I decided to wait a day or two before activating it. I got the card on Tuesday Dec. 26, 2000.
After I found my required papers with the crucial telephone number 1-877-244-3544 I...
