Nokia 6161 Cell Phone

Cons: Belt hook doesn't always work and phone comes loose.

One of the benefits I get from my job is that they provide me with a free wireless phone. Recently they provided me with a Nokia 6161. In my line of work it is very important that I can get connected with work quickly whenever there is a problem and...

Pros: Slim style, numerous choices of ringing options, light weight.
Cons: None that I have.

Since I have written about my cellular service I suppose I should write about the cell phone itself! For over 5 years I have owned a cell phone like most of America, and with the recent events on 9-11-01 I think we all are looking into owning a cell...

Pros: looks, flip, and quality
Cons: nothing

When you think of cell phones you think of Nokia. They are in the middle of the best cell phones put on the market. The Nokia 6161 is the best cell phone I have ever had. I use it for personal uses. The Nokia is a great phone that everybody should...

Pros: Looks Great
Cons: Problems Galore!

I upgraded to the Nokia 6161 in February of 2000. My contact had expired and I was ready to get a more upgraded (move from analog to digital) and stylish phone, which I did. In the upgrade, I paid $89 for the phone and got a month of free service (to...

Pros: Light, terrific technology, flip phone
Cons: Missed called log is a little buggy

If you've read my previous cell phone reviews, you'll know that I had started with a Nokia 6160. I happened to truly love that phone. The problem was that due to a lot of travel that I do, I wanted to upgrade to a plan that offered no long distance &...

Pros: sweet design, flips, and clear
Cons: none yet

I bought this phone three months ago and have had no problems with it thus far. It works great pretty much wherever you are, and hardly crashes at all. The Nokia 6161 has a slick flip-up design which is a little different than most of their models....

Pros: modern and up to date!
Cons: n/a

My family loves this phone! We have been looking into getting a cell phone for a couple of years now and were somewhat overwhelmed by the choices offered and the incredible range of prices. Finally, my husband saw this one in the store and fell in love...

Pros: quality,clarity,features, accessories, future service ready
Cons: little bigger than some, head set design, cost of in-car booster unit

I traded up to the Nokia 6161 from my previous analog phone to get the improved service package rates being offered by Century Tel, and also on the promise of better connections and improved clarity. It is a winner on all these accounts.

Cons: No WAP, Doesn't come with Vibe

After I started working for Rogers AT&T Wireless in Canada as a Customer Service Consultant, in the Western Call Center, I got my first cell phone. It was a Nokia 6161i. (yes notice the "i" which i will explain later.)

Now I've...

Pros: Price, large display, solid features
Cons: Malfunctioning components

I bought the phone when it first came out in 1998 at a very high price. Well, it was the latest technology at that time and it was the best looking phone around.

I've also looked at competitive products from Motorola and Ericsson.
There...

Pros: Compact but yet large display, long-lasting battery life, trendy, has all the latest tricks!
Cons: Haven't seen any yet!

I just recently upgraded from my ancient bag phone to the Nokia 6161. I paid $99.95 for it, and just for the record I purchased the phone and a new service plan from Cingular Wireless. (No, I don't work for them and I'm not getting paid to plug them...

Pros: Excellent functions; Long battery life
Cons: A bit on the chunky side

Flip-Flop.

The flip is a great feature that Nokia put on this 6100 series phone. Gone are the worries of accidentally hitting the TALK/SEND button. Plus it's easier/better to answer the phone by flipping it open (and hanging up by closing...

Pros: Flip face protects buttons, Great battery life
Cons: No leather case yet, face occasionally gets in the way

I really like this phone. I had an old Nokia 2160 (I think that's the number) and because I was trapped in a 3 year contract with my old provider, after being with them for two years, I had the option to "upgrade" my hardware. So instead of...

Pros: Lightweight, convenient
Cons: none

I own the Nokia 6161 cellular phone. I've had it for about half a year and so far I haven't had too much trouble with it. I think most of the flaws come from my service provider.

It usually has clear reception, unless you are in an area...

Pros: keypad cover, ease of use, reception
Cons: No internal vibrate alert - must use vibra-battery

Truthfully, I bought the cellular service before I thought about the phone much, but this phone has been quite nice and I'm very happy it was part of the package.

Ease of use is outstanding
- Keys are quite responsive with the possible...
