Dependable, Reliable cell PHONE. I never realized how much I've taken my Nokia 5165 for granted until CINGULAR started charging me an extra $5 a months to penalize me for not "upgrading" to a new phone. The 5165 is a work horse. I have had it for ...

I have finally taken a step closer to being a modern citizen. Recently I purchased my first cell phone: the Nokia 5165.

The first thing I noticed about it is it is a very sharp and stylish looking phone. The midnight blue and silver keys...

Pros: Good reception/features/battery life/size
Cons: Maybe slimmer battery??

Wow, almost two-years of reviews for the Nokia 5165. Pretty impressive that this model is still offered and appreciated in the buy/replace/toss cellular phone market.

Pros: Address book is accessible with cursor arrow. the navi key is a "current available function"
Cons: Too big. Ear phone detaches too easily. The battery detaches too easily

The phone is not really that great in my opinion--not sure why it is getting the 5 stars. The 3360 is a much better phone.
It's too large and has its aerodynamic design makes it slip out of pockets like a torpedo. In terms of reception--I don't...

Pros: A lot of features, It was free with my cellular plan.
Cons: Reception was a big problem. No internet access, no vibration mode

Ok when I signed up for my two year cellular contract I recieved the Nokia 5165 phone for free and got a $50 Nokia rebate as part of the deal. Now I did have the choice of recieving the 5165 for free or paying $29.99 for the Nokia 3320 and getting the...

Cons: No data cable for it, so getting ring tones into it costs you minutes.

I got this phone with my Tracphone prepaid package. It's digital and has all the usual features one would expect in a cell phone: address book, one-number dialing, and call timers. Any phone that doesn't come with those nowadays can pretty much be looked...
