Nokia 6160 Cell Phone

Pros: Superb sound quality, durability, and options
Cons: Ringers and earpiece can be quiet.

I have had a Nokia 6160 since the week it came out (over two years) and I will say that it has held up nicely. I have only had one problem with it, cracking. Its durability is second to none, but I actually cracked the plastic casing around the...

Pros: Size and digital quality
Cons: mechanical problems with display and cover

While the Nokia 6162 has been an excellent phone in most respects, there are a number of hardware issues that keep it from getting high marks. My experience is limited to two phones I purchased and two purchased by friends. Of these four phones, 3 of...

Pros: lots of options, sounds clear, easy to use
Cons: can't force it to analog or select channel

I was one of the first proud owners of the Nokia 6160 when it first came out in the summer of 1998. I was interning at AT&T Wireless Services that summer, which was the company who first sold the phone. It had be ingrained in all of us how much of a...

Pros: sound quality, easy to use, long battery life
Cons: no built-in vibrating, antenna stub annoying

I've used the 6160 for over a year and could not have been happier with a cellular phone. I took the phone straight out of the box and never had to use the manual, the phone's physical layout and operation is intuitive and friendly. Sound quality is...

Pros: great battery life
Cons: Lousy display that sometimes fails

Clearly this is one of the better phones you'll find on the market today, if only because it's tough to beat its small size and great battery life.

However, one potential problem you should be aware of is with the display. The LCD display...

Pros: feature rich (calendar, calculator, games, ring types)
Cons: antenna doesn't extend/retract

I have had 4 phones now, and this is by far the best! It has about 35 different rings, which help you distinguish your phone from those around you. It has 4 different games you can play when you are really bored. The calculator comes in handy, as does...

Pros: Large Phone # memory. Simple Dialing.
Cons: Hard to turn phone on -- lots of options

There are a number of things that instantly appealed when selecting this phone: Features, size, and battery life.

There are a number of things that weren't as nice once I started using the phone: Features and ON/OFF button.

The...

Pros: Size, features, coverage.
Cons: Incompatibility with other services

I purchased this product about two years ago because of the service from AT&T. I travel alot, and I need access from anywhere in the USA. Well, I found it from Nokia and AT&T. I have recommended this phone to all of my friends. One of the...

Pros: You can make a call, generally.
Cons: You can not complete the call most of the time.

My husband is a network technician, and therefore in the field a lot. His customers rely upon this phone to get ahold of him during the day. His work has paid for the phone (we personally use Primeco), and we have never had more problems with a phone...

Pros: Great overall phone - easy to use and many accessories available
Cons: Poor headset design and no internal vibrate alert on phone itself

I have had a Nokia 6160 for about two years now. It is an excellent phone and I would not hesitate recommending it to a friend. There are several great features about this phone that I detail below.

The Nokia 6160 is a tri-mode phone made...

Pros: Size, sound clarity, digital
Cons: A little pricey

For the most part the 6160 is a great phone. It has a lot of bells and whistles however that I will never use. Including a calculator and event calendar is just a little much I think - especially when you are trying to type 'real' words using a 10 key...

Pros: Battery life, sound quality, ease of use
Cons: None significant

When I was shopping around for a phone and cell service about a year ago, the Nokia 6160 stood out for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the battery life is phenomenal -- better than any other phone out there. Secondly, there was a wide variety of...

Pros: Relatively nice in size and style; equipped with useful set-in features; can decorate with many different color tops, plastic window and buttons.
Cons: No flip-top, so remember to lock your keys, or you might be making unexpected phone calls!

I can't believe the Nokia 6160 is priced at $179. I got mine last summer for $87, during a time where most of the other stores charge anywhere from $99 to $129. Not only was the price lower, but I also got some more accessories for free! My phone came...

Pros: calculator, dated alarm, excellent tech support
Cons: display went bad, but they replaced within days

I've had this phone for almost a year and its the best phone I've seen or had by far. I use it for everything from tracking appointments, a phone number listing, to adding up tips. I'm pretty much lost without it. I have had one problem with it, the...

Pros: Memory storage is huge
Cons: Belt Clip accessory isn't comfortable

i own this phone and although i am pleased with it's performance I hardly believe that it can cause cancer. One it is not as much the phone as it is the signal it carriers which carries radiation waves. If the antenna was strong enough to omit waves that...
