Nokia 6160 Cell Phone

Pros: Very portable, very long battery life, easy to use.
Cons: Flimsy antenna, could have better reception.

I was one of the fist people to have this little phone. I loved showing it off. I love the clock, the calendar (with date reminders), the calculator, the games, and the battery life. The battery lasts for a week… still! The programming and other...

Pros: complete with pager
Cons: nothing out of the ordinary

Nokia 6160: Cell phones, are they all the same?

In my opinion, yes. I recently bought the Nokia 6160, and from my experience there is just about no major difference between any other cellphone I have ever owned. Its light and compact, just...

Pros: Size, battery life, software
Cons: Easy to lose(!)

I first bought a cellular phone in the mid 80's when service became avail. in the Central Florida area, and was totally enamored of the convenience and safety of calling from the car. And it was ONLY from the car, as the GE phone I was using was...

Pros: stylish, super long battery life, excellent menu UI
Cons: frys brain, not too good inside of thick walls.

Even though the 6100s are no longer the "MOST" chic phone to have (check out Nokia's new 8800 series!), they really are high quality. The sound quality is great, the battery life is amazing (I usually go about half a week without charging,...

Pros: Weight, size, battery, antenna, shell
Cons: nothing

This phone will not stop. The best part about it is its battery. I have been using it continuously for a long time, and it rarely needs charging. I can use it daily for a week, even two, without charging. It gets extremely good reception. I live in...

Pros: easy to use, hangs on belt clip nicely
Cons: earpiece/microphone attachment

The earpiece/microphone for the Nokia is very awkwardly placed at the bottom of the phone. Mine has broken frequently. So have many others, judging by the fact that these items are on back order most of the time. The newest (and most expensive) Nokia has...

Pros: Good size, durable, many accessories, long talktime
Cons: No IR port

I love my 6160. I've put this phone through hell. I drop it, I clip the wall as I'm walking along, I've yanked out the headset a few times, and it's sat outside overnight once or twice and been covered with dew in the morning. It still works. OK, the...

Pros: Low ELF emissions
Cons: Not many

By now, most of you reading this will agree that the Nokia 6160 is one of the most user-friendly, function-full and long-lasting (talk-time and battery-strength wise) cellular phones on the market.

However, most of you probably do not know...

Pros: Awesome form factor-- shape, weight, colored faceplates
Cons: No vibrating ability with default battery, annoying ringing options, expensive

The Nokia 6160 is pretty much the ideal cell phone in most criterion people look for. The form factor is nice-- tight, fits nicely in your hand, shape is conducive for pockets (some friends with Motorolas or other brands that fold into square-shapes...

Pros: small enough to carry with you
Cons: screens go out, bad reception

My husband and I dumped our old cell phone, you know the big old grey Motorola ones? And we got the compact Nokia 6160 digital phone.

At first sight, I loved it. It came in neat colors, you could program it, send it e-mailed messages and...

Pros: feature-loaded; adaptable appearance; very portable; decent reception on most service types
Cons: hidden additional costs; lacking standard, practical features

As a cellular saleswoman, I've seen the good, the bad, and the extremely ugly--as far as cell phones go. Frankly, I've found that Nokia's products--specifically, the popular 5100/6100 series--are not all they're cracked up to be.

Nokia has...

Pros: Great reception, excellent battery life, well considered convenience features
Cons: Expensive, fewer custom covers available for this model

It's true. A lot of a mobile telephone's performance is due to the service provider. Quality of reception, coverage, and service are impacted by the equipment the telephone company uses, how much of it is out there, and what condition it's in.

Pros: Rugged, Small and Reliable with nice features
Cons: Vibrating ring requires special battery

This is the "Honda" of Cell phones. Easy to operate, rugged construction, lots of nice features, long battery life, small frame.
I had many cell phones before this one, and while they all worked, each one had it's own problems: Short...

Pros: all around good phone
Cons: auto dial a problem a times

The Nokia 6160 is a winner in the digital phone wars. Compact size, good battery life and tons of features make this one great phone.

The size allows the phone to be dropped in a pocket, clipped on a belt or tucked between the seats in your...

Pros: build quality, easy of use, battery life
Cons: need optional battery for vibra-alerts, and not that compact

This is perhaps the best phone overall out there on the market.

Quite light (really), VERY easy to use, great battery life (not the top, but really up there), large screen, very robust build.

However, I decided against it cuz I...
