Pros: good for its time
Cons: to big, not enough features
You would think that people would know by now a good cell phone when they saw it. This cell phone is a pretty old one. It has low talk time only 100 minuets, and only 21 hours of stand by. Other phones for a little more money have twice as much as this...

Good phone, bad phone

by dickfur , Jan 20 '00
Pros: Size, weight, overall performance
Cons: Battery
I first got my Nokia 918 about 6 months ago. With the exception of my bills, which are no fault of the phone, I have loved it...until recently.

Seems that I usually use the phone when I am in the car and I beleive that this has led to an...

Nokia 3:16

by sdherring , Apr 28 '00
Pros: Durable and clear calls
Cons: Still looking
I purchased this phone for 1 penny. I had to sign a contract for a year but that's besides the point. I chose this on over a smaller "flippy" phone because I didn't want to lose it. I have had no problems with this phone. The calls are always...

Pros: rugged, sturdy easy to use phone
Cons: non digital; very limited selection of rings
The Nokia 918 is the second cell phone I have owned. It is a very rugged yet easy to configure and use. I have dropped it, thrown it around the room and it still works. The only drawback about this phone is that it does NOT have analog capability but...

A Bargain for the Money

by Katkam1 , Jun 06 '00
Pros: Lighter, More user friendly
Cons: none
I bought my Nokia 918 cell phone only because my other cell phone's battery had worn out after 2 years. . . (Uniden). Although I was satisfied with the Uniden, I ventured out to see if I could acquire a phone that was a good price, and had as many...

Very good fun and Easy to carry.

by twistax , Apr 26 '00
Pros: Very light
Cons: Can break if misused a lot.
The Nokia 918 is a very good phone for a very good price. It is easy to carry and very light. I bought this phone because of the deals that you can get if you use GTE service. I love that it is small and it is easy to carry. I hate that it has a...

by wingnut , Dec 13 '99
Pros: # storage, size, clearity
Cons: sound volume
I have used this phone for a while I realy like it. The phone has not failed me yet as long as you have a car charger. I've dropped it and sat on it and it has held up great. It holds plenty of numbers and names of friends and family. With the menu...

Could you pick a crappier phone?

by mrdogface112 , Mar 26 '01
Pros: This phone will only cost you a penny!
Cons: It's not worth your penny.
What can i say about the Nokia 918??? For starters, this phone pretty much blows. It has no features that would benefit anybody unless you were blind and deaf, then you could use it to hit people trying to take advantage of you.

Convenient and Easy to Use

by sympatador , Jan 20 '00
Pros: Convenient and Tough
Cons: Expensive Service Plans
I got my Nokia 918 cell phone as a Christmas gift. I have to say that it makes it virtually impossible for me to get out of my parents' reach now. I think that's why they bought it. Anyway, it is easy to use, and it has alot of built-in features...

Don't Buy It

by chevyman , Mar 26 '00
Pros: You can talk to people sometimes
Cons: It always breaks
Nokia cell phones aren't worth it. I have been nokia cell phones for about 3 years. I would love to switch to anything else but the cell phone company I am with won't give me a different cell phone. I guess that is what you get for free. Now on with the...

Durable phone

by jrobs425 , Dec 21 '99
Pros: Light weight, affordable, quality built
Cons: The volume is a little low.
My husband and I both have a Nokia 918 and both phones have survived numerous drops and have continued to work without any problems. They are compact for easy carry in a purse or your coat pocket. I have even carried it in my back pocket and forgot it...

Hello, is this thing on?

by Andres_527 , Jan 08 '00
Pros: Inexpensive. Easy to operate.
Cons: Poor battery performance, poor construction
I regret to say that I am very disappointed in the Nokia 918 cell phone. I had great luck with the Nokia that I previously owned. The major complaint I have with the Nokia 918 is their battery system. After charging each battery for the initial 24 hour...

rday

by rday , Dec 20 '99
Pros: Size
Cons: range
I found this to be a good phone when you are right in the middle of the service area. But living in rural America can put any cell phone to the test. This phone did not perform well for us at all. It may be great for city dwellers, but be ware if you...

Pros: small and easy to use

This has got to be the best phone ever made! It is light weight, easy to carry around, fun, great for teenagers, who want to have privacy. I know how it feels to have a younger brother or sister listening on the phone when you have your boyfriend or...

Nokia 918

Pros: Easy to use and is very durable.
Cons: It is analog, bulky, little memory, little features, and battery does not last too long.
This phone is a bulky analog phone that has very little memory and features! This phone is also has a lot of static because it is analog! The good thing about this phone is that it is easy to use. I personally would not recommend this phone because it...

Not the Best

by Jamie_Betz , Dec 29 '99
Pros: Great for emergencies!
Cons: Bad for socializers.
Well lets see. With the Nokia 918 phone it is not any regular phone. This is a pick up and go phone. That means that instead of paying for a service each month of like $10.00 or $15.00 and those extra added dollars for calls you just buy calling cards...

Pros: Nice price (especially with a pkg. deal) $10 w/activation fee
Cons: Heavier than some cell phones.
In Aug. of 2000, I looked for a cell phone. I wanted a pkg. deal without a large monthly bill. mainly, I wanted the reassurance of being safe in my vehicle when I made out of town trips. Most of the phones and pkgs. I checked into were out of my...
