Pros: Excellent phone with tons of features.
Cons: The 5100 series faceplates don't fit the 5165 without buying new keypads.

WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE OWN THESE?
I'm the type that likes to be different. When it comes to cell phones, I want one that not a lot of people have. When the Motorola StarTAC phones first came out on the market, I raced to the stores to get...

Pros: Long Lasting Battery, Fun to use!
Cons: Keyboard a bit small, seems complicated at first use.

The Nokia Model 5165 is a pleasure to use. When it was time to trade-in my old Motorola flip-phone, a co-worker recommended this Nokia model. I've been more than pleased. First, the battery is long lasting. With the use of LED displays and a ...

The Nokia 5165 is better than I ever expected. I have always been a little wary of getting a cell phone, but about every two years, I re-evaluate the pager that I use, and this time when I did, I noticed that I can spend the same amount of money, that...

Pros: Good digital sound quality and battery life
Cons: A little larger than some more-recent cell phones, no Internet features

I have had experience using a wide variety of cellular phones and the Nokia 5165 is definitely one of the better ones I've used. It's not the world's smallest phone (which might be a good thing because then it's harder to lose it) and it doesn't have...

I was not an early adopter of cell phones. I often find them rude and obtrusive. People who leave them on in movie theatres and museums should be taken out into the street and flogged until death ensues.

That being said, my wife was recently...

Pros: Small, light weight, very portable, great power, long lasting, lots of features
Cons: Leather case design and poor of hands free ear attachment
