Not this Nokia

byopinionated3 Jan 20, 2001
155 Helpfuls 156 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros small, lightweight, easy to setup.
Cons battery life is to short
Recommended it? No

The company I work for was looking for new Cellular Phones to replace our old phones. We have been using AT&T wireless for our old phones so they stuck with them to handle the service for the new phones. At the time AT&T offered the best coverage area in Oklahoma. Since we are a computer service,... Read full review »

Nokia 5160: mkp51 finally goes "wireless!"

Pros Excellent reception; great array of features!
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

Three weeks ago, one of my last personal bastions of resistance to technological change finally crumbled. On December 10, 2000, at precisely 3:54 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, I joined another hi-tech revolution.

I finally went "wireless!!"

That?s right, I did something that even... Read full review »

Pros Nice Design, Detachable face.
Cons No calendar, alarm, date book.
Recommended it? Yes

I previously owned a Nokia 6190. I loved that phone. But, through the ignorance and poor customer service of nearly everyone involved with Aerial (now Voicestream) I had to give my phone up. (See my Epinion on them at: http://protouniverse.epinions.com/elec-review-7C17-11262EDE-38BD3473-prod7)... Read full review »

Disconnect Nokia's 5160

byJoubert Aug 24, 2001
68 Helpfuls 69 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The scroll buttons are nice. Well, I found something positive!
Cons This is a really bad phone
Recommended it? No

Words sometimes fail me when I attempt to describe the miserable experience I had using the Nokia 5160 for almost a year. One of the groups I manage has a need for cell phones, and the manager in that group selected these because they were free after rebate. Once again, you get what you pay for... Read full review »

Link to the World

62 Helpfuls 63 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Multiple Functions, Multiple Sounds, Great Reception, Cheap!
Cons Some of the functions take time to learn to use. No voice address book.
Recommended it? Yes

The Nokia 5160 I believe is still the best cell phone out there to date. I have found no reason to upgrade. I even upgraded once...and went back to my 5160 because I didn't like the new phone!

Let's start with the basic FUNCTIONS:

1. Phonebook...very convenient and holds lots of... Read full review »

Nokia OK for this non power user

byDavidWeisman Dec 30, 2000
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros good phone
Cons keys a little small
Recommended it? Yes

This was one of the phones which came free with the wireless calling service my wife signed a contract for. Plenty of them cost extra, so I know this isn't the Cadillac of cellular phones - but who needs an oversized overpriced showboat?

Pros sleek, nice look and a great product
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

My new Nokia 5160 is a very nice phone. I have written about my experiences with my carrier, AT&T wireless and have nothing but praise for them. Well, the same can be said for my new phone.

The Price
Can you beat free?!? My carrier gave it to me to sign an additional year contract,... Read full review »

Doesn't vibrate

42 Helpfuls 43 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros compact, crisp clear sound, lots of extras
Cons if you want it to vibrate, you have to spend extra $$ on a vibrating battery
Recommended it? Yes

I got my new Nokia 5160 phone about a month ago and I wonder now how I ever got along without it (much like how I wondered how I ever got along without my computer). I absolutely love the convenience of having this little phone - my old pager was a big pain. People would page me (sometimes for no... Read full review »

Cons None

I bought my husband this phone for Christmas, but he couldn't wait...

It's so easy to use, easy to program and light weight. It weighs 6.2 oz with the standard battery. The memory will hold up to 100 names and numbers. It has caller ID, to know who is calling before you answer the phone... Read full review »

A High Quality Mobile Phone

Pros Good battery life; easy to find numerous accessories; lightweight; easy to use
Cons Occasionally seems to have trouble picking up my voice
Recommended it? Yes

My wife and I purchased a pair of Nokia 5160 phones as part of a ?two-for-one? special offered by our mobile phone service provider (Bell Atlantic). Since the special offer was tied to a calling plan that was more beneficial to us, it was, as the saying goes, an offer that was too good to... Read full review »
