Nokia 5165 Cell Phone

Pros: Durable, sexy!
Cons: Has an annoying arial!

In the UK the nokia 5165 is equivalent to the 5110 and I personall think this phone is a budget one. I think it is very cheap to buy and as you can change the covers on it I think this is the type of phone you would look at first.

This phone...

Pros: Affordable, lots of accessories, basic for first time buyers.
Cons: A little heavier than other phones, also, accessories can be expensive at times.

I find the Nokia 5165 a very great phone for first time cell phone buyers. It is very affordable, especially for teens who want a phone, but can't afford a deluxe phone that could cost up to $150.
I have one of these phones, and I absolutely love...

Pros: Inexpensive, good quality sound
Cons: none

I have no complaints about my inexpensive Nokia 5165 cell phone. I use it with A T & T's pre-paid service and have never had a problem with it. The callers voices are always loud and clear. When my husband uses it to call home, I can hear him loud and...

Pros: Stylish, light weight, battery life, convenient, games,
Cons: What?

I bought this phone because its a step up in quality and features instead of the Nokia 5180 that was offered free, It is a phone that looks great! Has many features, I like the video games and the personal phone book. Also the text messaging is awesome....

Pros: Looks nice, sounds nice, is nice
Cons: too big for me

I used this phone for close to a year. It was a good phone except...

I needed a phone that was a little smaller (so I could keep it in my pocket) Girls are fine with the size because they have purses.

I would buy it in a second if...

Pros: Email is useful. From my computer, I email my grocery shopping list to myself.
Cons: Supplied battery doesn't last very long without a charge.

Depending on your cell phone company, you can go to that company's web site (in my case, ATT) and use that company's primitive, yet effective, on-line software to create your own ring tone.
I work in construction. On a commercial job, there are a...

Pros: the phone is free, better then old nokia models
Cons: larger then most hand helds, clarity issues in certain areas.

Recently when I was phone shopping, I knew that I wanted to get one that could fit my needs but refused to break my bank doing it. I know that now at days there are so many types of phones and so many types of plans out there, so I really wanted to look...

Pros: Easy graphic interface, comes with a vibrating battery, loud voice volume
Cons: Battery life, reception, durability, no web browser

I have had this phone for about 1 year now. I bought this Mitsubishi T300 as an "upgrade" from my Nokia 5165. It was not an upgrade. Reception is slightly inferior and the quality is significantly less than the Nokia. I have had to replace it twice...

Pros: Comfortable to talk on, color covers, priced right
Cons: External antenna, only 1# per name in the phonebook, no reminders, vibrating alert sold separately

The Nokia 5165 was the first cell phone that I owned. I choose it because of it's popularity & it served me well. As phones go it is a little on the heavy side & the external antenna makes it a little uncomfortable to carry in your pockets. My service...

Pros: great reception, sound, it is reliable, and the battery lasts a long time.
Cons: I did not like how heavy and big the phone is.

I owned the Nokia 5165 AMPS/D-AMPS cell phone for two years and now my brother has it. This phone has been reliable and has always had good reception. I would defiantly recommend this phone.
This cell phone was very easy to use. The menu was very self explanatory and could easily be figured out without reading the manual. I found Cellular one to be very corporative and always were there if I needed help with the phones features. This phone always had great reception, the battery lasted long and the sound was excellent. This Nokia 5165 was free for me it was thrown in with a phone service package I got. But normally this phone is usually pretty cheap with the rebates you receive. It has the basic features like alarm clock, address book, games, text messaging, caller id, and voicemail. Some things I did not like about this phone were how heavy it is. It is also pretty big compared to newer phones. The features this phone has are very basic. The screen doesn’t have color and is small. I would recommend this phone to anyone who just needs the basics and doesn't mind the size.

Pros: Good Reception.
Cons: Big, Heavy, Screen Isn't Color.

This phone is the absolute best at recieving a signal. It will work everywhere literally...well not really...but still it will work almost anywhere. If you are looking for a phone that is made well and will work well, then check out the Nokia 5165. You won't be dissapointed.

Pros: Texts,tone volume,easy faceplate change,durable
Cons: No com.interfaced,B&W screen,no viberate ring,Texts tones,good basic?

I thought it was the service(A.T.& T.[cin.Bell]) so i got a 3560 the tried a Version v60I. What a difference the 5160 faded alot and would not virbrate.The large 40 hrs battery would give me maybe 15 hours of talk or 30 hours of stand-by.Large batteries do not come with vibrate thought.Phone comes with a none viberate battery that might last 10 hours of both(stand-by & talk).

Pros: Great reception! Wide coverage
Cons: None that I know of

I've had this cell phone for years and I would never trade it in! It has lasted so long and has worked so well. The range it covers is incredible. Whenever we travel, it gets reception in areas where nobody else's phone does - and those people have upgraded to newer phones. I would definitely recommend this phone to everyone. The menu is easy to use. It has games, e-mail, text messaging - almost everything the newer phones have. And there are a multitude of accessories available for this phone - many designs to chose from. This is definitely a phone to hold on to and one to buy if you can!

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Poor quality, mediocre reception, lack of accessories

My wife and I both had one of these phones for about two years, they were the 99 cent phone with our cellular plan at the time. The phones were incredibly easy to use, this was never a problem, but there were other issues. My phone had to be repaired once and after that was rather quirky.......it worked sometimes. My wifes phone had to be repaired twice and was due for a third repair when we elected to renew our contract and get new Nokia phones. The Nokia phones are smaller, more solid, and have better reception. Also, the Mitsubishi phones are IMPOSSIBLE to find accessories for, and the accessories available at our cellular dealer were of questionable quality. This is a phone I feel would be best avoided.

Pros: easy-to-use, durable
Cons: big

I've had this phone for about a year now and I love it. None of my other phones have lasted me this long. It's extremely simple for anyone to use. It's very durable too. I've dropped it several times and I haven't had to replace it yet.
