| elcheung's Full Review: Nokia 6160 Cell Phone |
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 often complain about how it just "doesn't quite fit"), and the weight is enough for the phone to feel substantial, but not too heavy. I also appreciate the fact that I can get different colored faceplates... what can I say, I enjoy aesthetics, and am very happy with the iridescent blue/purple/green "ocean" faceplate I have-- reminds me of a fly. Furthermore, battery life is really really long, reception is clear (on occasion I get echoes if I'm calling long distance, but the other end doesn't hear it), and navigation through the menus is easy with two soft keys (whereas the Nokia 5100s only have one).
Unfortunately, the default battery that comes with the phone does not have the vibrating option (though I believe you can get a battery that does include the functionality, but the price you pay is a bulkier phone), and all the ringing options are terrible. Really annoying, high-pitched noises that try to resemble songs. Also, the phone is expensive at $199.
