| ishotjfk's Full Review: Nokia 5110 |
This was the phone that Nokia sold the largest number of, and was the first 'ubiquitous' phone, it cemented Nokia's role as the premier producer of mobile phones. Pretty much everyone had it, which was a great testament to its success. Sure now it might be getting a bit old, and not look as svelte or attractive as the new micro-phones they are making, but for what it is you can't go past it. Its battery life is good, easily lasting several days, the talktime is decent and the clarity is fine, although this also depends on the network you hook it up to, its durability is fantastic, I drop mine all the time, and apart from the battery being slightly loose (this doesn't affect the operation) nothing has happened. It was the first phone to feature games, and introduced a large population to Snake, a reincarnation of that Qbasic classic Nibbles. So while new phones are smaller, smarter, lighter, funkier and can play your favourite tune at you, if you're just looking for a cheap, dependable phone that will do what you want you can't go past
