Nokia 5185i Cell Phone

Pros: Easy to use, has many features I need
Cons: Antenna pretty flimsy

My last cell phone stunk. It really did. It was a cheap Motorola flip phone (Mo torola StarTAC 3000 Phone ) and it never stayed charged, was a pain to flip, and had only the basic of features. I was frustrated with it ...

Pros: Versatile face plate exchanges, 39 ring tones, Caller ID, 3 Games, Call log
Cons: Not web enabled

Pros: Small, Many Features, Built to Hold Up
Cons: None

Update! January 3, 2002
I do not know how many of you remember the Timex watch ads, but they should make one about this Nokia phone.

Some months ago, my husband was going with his hiking group and decided to take the cell phone. It was...

Pros: Cheap, plenty of features, usually cheap with a "package deal" from service provider
Cons: Pester folks from the comfort of your car!

My goodness, how I hate those cellular phones. The last one I owned "accidentally" flew out of my car window due to a strong gust of wind (or, that's my story, anyway). I assume it was broken as I was driving along at around 80-miles-per hour at the time...

Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Simple features, easy to use
Cons: there is really no cons considering the price of this phone

Just as I stated in my title the Nokia 5185i. is an inexpensive, durable and great starter cell phone.

The Nokia 5185i is a very popular cell phone to be offered in alot of the Cell Phone starter plans. It is also offered in alot...

Pros: Varied ring selections, interchangeable face plates.
Cons: Flimsy pull up antenna. Occasional echoing on some calls.

Recently my husband and I had a decision to make, renew our cell phone plan or let it go. Since signing up one year ago with a screaming good deal on airtime, we were mostly pleased with our savings, however our original phones (Kyocera dual modes) had...

Pros: Small, Colorful, Works Great
Cons: None

And it is purple, blue and red! After far too long waffling around trying to decide if she really needed a cell phone again, your Chief Dragon in Residence finally broke down and committed to owning one for a year.

Boy oh boy, have...

Pros: Great clarity, small and light, many convenience features and durable.
Cons: None so far!

I recently came back to current times and got a cell phone. It amazes me how quickly it becomes indispensable. Very soon you feel naked without it, isn't that silly? I love my little Nokia, it has really simplified my life. I never have to worry about...

Pros: Price, excelent features for such a cheap phone, good construction
Cons: Bad power management

Another number to remember with “Nokia” slapped in front of it
Let’s face it; Nokia makes a lot of cell phones. And yes, like every other company that makes anything, they like to give unique model numbers to their various products.
...

Pros: Size, faceplates, accessories, games, rings, versatility... etc.
Cons: Faceplates scratch easily :( Volume doesn't go high enough?

I got this phone about 4 months ago. I was so jazzed, these things rock! They're so cute. Not only that, but the kind I got from the service (Verizon) was the smaller, lighter one. It has a much smaller silhouette. *Coolness*
Actually, the first one...

Pros: Price, Ability to change look, Battery life, Keylock, Easy to use
Cons: If I had a modem for it, I could get rid of my regular phone.

I purchased my Nokia 5185i as a package offered by a new service provider called Cricket Communications (visit www.cricketcommunications.com for more info on them - they're not listed on Epinions yet). For a price of $94.99 I got the phone, charger, and...

Pros: Light weight, great clarity, easy functions, easy to use.
Cons: None so far!

I’m 16 and just got a Nokia 5185i two weeks ago. Up until then, I've used my mom's cell phone...another Nokia that doesn't even have a chance against this one. My mom got this one for me for my birthday. I have to confess- I love it! I've wanted one...

Pros: Good memory function, snake, good call clarity, price
Cons: Nokia's poor CDMA implementation, no WAP, had to have phone replaced

This was literally the first phone that I have that was worth it's salt. First, I must mention the positives of this phone. Nokia did an excellent job at designing a user interface that made the phone easy to use. I was able to pick it up and use it...

Pros: Good old Nokia menus and features
Cons: Volume problems with earphones, no dedicated "END" button

I previously had AT&T service with a Nokia 6160 phone and had gotten very spoiled by its features, durability, and overall quality (AT&T coverage in MD/VA did leave something to be desired). I recently switched to Verizon here in MD and wanted the same...

Pros: Ease of use, features, overall quality rocks
Cons: Bulkier than some newer phones

This is a great, reliable phone. I purchased this phone after coming to my senses and getting rid of my StarTac. This easy to use, functional phone was such a welcome relief.

One of the best things about this phone is how easy it is to use....
