Nokia 5165 Cell Phone

Pros: Typical Nokia quality, easy to use, decent features for the money, cool new looks
Cons: Other Nokias have more features,no internal vibrate mode

When I switched wireless providers I decided to go with Cingular Wireless and their fantastic unlimited nights and weekends promotion. This did mean however that I would have to part with my Nokia 6160 from AT&T. Since I was very happy with the...

Pros: More styling then 5160, & has T-9 Predictive Text Capability
Cons: A little big, comes only with NiMH Battery, Not Lithium Ion

Once again, I have taken the time to review yet another phone, from my expeiences working as a Customer Service Rep for Rogers AT&T Wireless.

From my personal preference, and experience, Nokia makes the best phones. I have heard they have...

Pros: Easy to use, can change the colors on the face and download tones
Cons: Not very sophisticated

I got my Nokia 5165 for use with my AT&T digital service. I bought it at Circuit City and got a rebate on it, which made it almost free. It is very easy to use and I have had no problems with it at all. I use it a lot and the battery has been holding...

Pros: Lightweight and Stylish, Great Clarity, Durable
Cons: Battery Life, A Bit Too Large

The Nokia 5165 was the third Nokia phone in the lineage of cell phones that I've been through. I began with the analog 918, followed a couple of years later by the analog 252 (both of which I've reviewed elsewhere on Epinions). For...

Pros: Light and fun!
Cons: Small keys

In the age of rising gas prices, it almost necessary to know if people are going to be home when you are planning to drop in. I find my Nokia 5165 useful after a hard day shopping. Most of the time I want to stop by a friends house and show them my...

Cons: Lacks some important features, Add-ons Add up in price

Pros: standard, good battery, good sound quality, custom ringtones, optional covers
Cons: signal strength not as good as later phones, single-button system requires reading prompts

I used to have a 6120 and a 5160, so 5165 is instantly familiar to me. It is a decent phone so there are plenty of accesories available. It is also very cheap (free with contract) with wide array of accessories. However, newer phones with more features...

Pros: Nice size and weight, good selection of features, value
Cons: Locking keys is a must

I recently replaced my ancient cellular phones for my wife and I with current service. I was looking for a convenient, casual use phone, primarily to keep in touch with my wife. My work suggested a Family Talk plan with Cingular...

Cons: A bit bulky, trouble w/ Email, time-sync doesn't work, can't upload addresses

I first purchased a Nokia 5160 back in 1999, and, although it was awesome, it had a few flaws (IE: The screen would "blank out" every so often - it got worse near the end, the antenna was prone to breaking, expensive service plans). I finally upgraded my...

Pros: THE Honda civic of cell phones!
Cons: Too big.

Since I work in the cellular industry, it is very important for me to recommend the right phones for individuals so they don't come back and b*tch at me.

The nokia 5165 is your best bet if you have never had a cell phone before, it is...

Pros: Light, user friendly, one key call, send and disconnect.
Cons: Price of accessories

I simply love my new Nokia 5165, it is very easy to use. It is free with a one or two year contract with Cingular, and only a $20 dollar activation fee.

Pros: Durable, easy to use, economical, good looking phone, many extra features
Cons: Short standard battery life,

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: Games, text messaging, it's a phone.
Cons: Pretty big and heavy compared to today's newer phones.

Okay, before I start this review I should probably mention that this phone was given to me as a present by a friend, so I have never used this phone before. It is a Cingular phone, and seeing that I don't use Cingular, I have never used this phone. ...

Pros: Economic, lots of features, replaceable covers.
Cons: Stout shape makes it hard to talk and listen at the same time.

I recieved this phone as a gift a few weeks ago, and although it wasn't the one I wanted (I wanted a StarTac or Samsung 8500), I have no complaints thus far. No real complaints anyhow.

The things I especially like about this cell phone are of...

Pros: It has great tunes, games....
Cons: No roaming information, great tunes don't go in alarm clock

First of all, I came to http://www.epinions.com and read all the reviews about nokia first before I purchased this phone. Wow, all the good reviews, so I went ahead and bought it.
To my disappointment, I thought it was a perfect...
