Nokia 5160 Cell Phone

Pros: easy to use and program
Cons: hangs up on my husband

You should've seen me with my last mobile phone, an ancient grey Motorola flip model that weighed about two pounds, and made me sound like I was swimming in a vat of cheese. Somehow, if and when it rang, I would pull the antenna out with my teeth, flip...

Pros: Cute, with lots of fun features
Cons: Not as small as other phones. Annoying feature menus.

This is my first cell phone, and I admit I fell for it primarily for its cute features and partially due to a good deal. I got it for donating $20 to the Special Olympics, which is a current promotion through several providers.
So far, I've been...

Pros: Well constructed, easy to use
Cons: Weak signal

The Nokia 5160 is a good choice for those looking for a relatively inexpensive cell phone. The phone supports both digital and analog networks and will switch between the two if one is not available. The phone is lightweight and compact weighing in at...

Pros: lol, I can't list them all here....refer to my epinion!!!!
Cons: NONE, I love this phone!!

I LOVE MY PHONE!!!

I have been "window shopping" for a cell phone for a few months now...of course, I used epinions as a guide along the way. I value the HONEST "epinioners'" opinion - Thank you to all of you for sharing...

Pros: small package, great signal, user friendly
Cons: eats battery when on the fringe, small size feels awkward when talking into

This is the first cell phone that I ever bought and comparing it to other phones that I have seen, I feel I made the correct choice. The long battery life enables me to go for extended periods between recharging's. But I have also found that when I am on...

Pros: efficient, simple to use, stylish, multiple features
Cons: none

I bought this product for three major reasons:
1- the affordable price
2- the style and features
3- the simplicity of usage

Allow me to explain, my phone cost $105.99, however, I was given a $50 rebate from Nokia and also a $50...

Pros: Attractive, Functional, Even Better Then The Free Price Tag Are The Games!!
Cons: None

My top score in Snake is 1125 and growing. If you don't know what I mean by this then come on inside. The Nokia 5160i, which is the newer model of the 5160's, allows for two way text messaging. More about that later. The price is the best part. With...

Pros: Typical Nokia amazing battery life, nice large screen, changeable face plates
Cons: NaviKey is clumsy sometimes, no vibrating option unless you buy the battery separately.

Nokia is a smart company. They come out with a winning software design (i.e. the 6100 series) and then run with it, changing nothing more than the shape. My first phone in Nokia's revolution was the Nokia 6160, and right now I own an 8290. While much...

Pros: Simple, ability to keep track of call duration and cost
Cons: Cheap materials, Not for power user

I first got this phone for free with a service plan from pacbell. Since then I have been surprised at how much it has come in handy and at how fragile this device really is.

The phone uses GSM 1900 technology that I believe to be extremely...

Pros: Small size, wide range of features, high durability
Cons: Lacks some basic features that I want, reception not as clear as previous analog phone

I recently was upgraded to the digital version of this phone by the company I work for. My previous phone didn't have as many features as this one does, and was an analog phone. The reception I get now isn't as clear and the signal is not as strong....

Pros: you can customize the phone, you can hear the person you are talking to, many rings
Cons: Each phone varies: the same 5160 that you have could have different features than the 5160 your friend may have

A year ago I decided to get another cellular phone. Usually I ended up with Ericssons because they would be on special. This time I got a Nokia. I purchased the Nokia 5160. I love it. I have several different rings that I can choose from. My favorite...

Pros: Cheap, Good signal, lots of features
Cons: one button can get messy

Nokia phones I think have really changed the whole cell phone market. They introduced the idea of having a built in antenna and many other features that have allowed the cell phone industry to expand as much as it has. My personal experience with the...

Pros: Light and easy to use
Cons: none

I exchanged my old heavy phone for a Nokia 5160 in December. I purchased one for my husband also for Christmas. This is not just a regular phone, You can has either analog or digital service, we have analog but will change to digital in the near...

Pros: simple, low cost
Cons: not the newest model

As a sales representative for AT&T Wireless Services (along with another carrier) I of course have to have a dealer phone. My phone is the Nokia 5160. And it seems most of my customers carry the same phone. In all actuality my husband carries my...

Pros: Reception, Clarity, Price, Features, Battery Life
Cons: My wife says the phone gets warm after extended periods of continuous use.

I've used my Nokia 5160 for over a year now. The clarity and ease of use fit my lifestyle perfectly.

Over the last year, during travels into extremely rural (northern Missouri farmland) and hilly areas (Ozarks mountains), we have lost signal...
