by JJsJ , Nov 29 '00
Pros: Compact size, clear reception, many great features.
Cons: None known.
The Nokia 5185i phone was received as a gift by my teenage daughter for her birthday. It is the perfect size to fit in her pocket or slip into her purse or backpack when she is away from home.

The reception is extremely clear, without static...

The Little Phone that CAN.

by NisMax , Dec 16 '00
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: 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...

Don't recommend it!

by pcoleman , Jan 04 '01
Pros: Durable, light, nice features
Cons: Battery life, sound quality
I've had 3 5185i phones in a month, 4 batteries and a second charger.
I like the features etc but the battery life is awful. I could never get more than a day and half out of them. That's with no calls in or out
and with a good signal. One...

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.

Pros: It is compact, available and the reception is perfect.
Cons: You can't find any problems with perfection...
This phone is the best phone that I have seen thus far. I would definitely recommend this phone to ANYONE that in need of a new cell phone or wants to get their first cell phone.

Small, but not too small,

by boboj101 , Jan 28 '01
Pros: Handy little bugger this one
Cons: not as small as some others
This model is very popular, I can think of at least 15 people I know who have this exact model. The phone is very versitile, it is small, but has a long enough battery life and is not so small that it seems akward to talk into. The phone has good range,...

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...

Not up to Nokia standards

by roadwarrior21 , Feb 24 '01
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...

A fabulous little phone

by annafal , Feb 27 '01
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....

Nokia keeps me connected

by WildZoe8 , Mar 16 '01
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...

Hello? Hello?

by estesfan55 , Mar 28 '01
Pros: Slim, sleek and does what it's supposed to do
Cons: My battery dies very quickly...not enough ring tones.
I upgraded to the Nokia 5185i in December of 2000 after I had problems with my Samsung. I'll admit, I'm a girl, I wanted a phone with switchable faceplates. Plus, I had always heard good things about Nokias, so I figured I'd go with it, since it was...
