Motorola i830 Cell Phone

Pros: Changeable faceplates, long battery life, great reception, durable construction.
Cons: Mine was unstable, very basic phone.

An Older Phone This phone (which is now sold as the 3585i to represent a minor software change for FCC compliance and makes no difference to the consumer) This review is NOT off-topic as in Nokia land an i represents a software change - it's ...

Pros: Swiss army knife of phones, durable and reliable, price
Cons: Not terribly flashy, still big for a phone these days, buggy software.

Ok, I've been out of Sprint land for some 13 months now, give or take. I had such a bad experience with the Touchpoint and Sprint (see prior review) that I switched services, but as luck would have, my company made a switch from Nextel to Sprint and now ...

Pros: Can handle some abuse, large buttons
Cons: Big phone, the light feature

I've owned a variety of cellphones over the past few years and upgraded to the Nokia 3585i this past summer. As luck would have it, my employer actually pays for my cellphone service, but any upgrade (voicemail, web browsing etc.) would come out of my ...

Pros: voice tags, bright screen, polyphonic ringtones, uses 51XX, 33XX, 82XX power accessories
Cons: antennae is annoying, no color screen, limited organizer

My cell provider switched networks to CDMA, and so I needed a new phone. Try as they did to convince me I should go with Ericsson or Kyocera, I insisted they put my name on the list for the newest Nokia they offered.

The 3585 isn't so much...

Pros: Now people can get me, not just my pager!
Cons: Now my wife can get me, not my pager!

Hello all,

Life as a professional SLUMLORD gets complicated from time to time. Usually the difficulty revolves around not being reachable. (Please see my review of Motorola Pagers) So Mrs. Schlamozzel did me a "favor". She got me a "PCS" type...

Pros: Durable, added left and right scroll keys, 30 ringers, changeable covers, antennae.
Cons: Can't turn backlight off. No text messaging, or web browser.

Before I start this review, I want to make one thing clear about this phone. I bought the 3585i phone. Yes, that little "i" after the number apparently makes a difference, according to the people at Nokia. They say that "i" means that phone has data...

Pros: Great for people who are semi-impaired challenged. Keep making them!
Cons: The only con would be is, if Nokia stops manufacturing this phone.

I selected this phone for my in-laws. They are both in their 70's. Both have vision, coordination, and comprehension semi-difficulties. It was a pre-owned, barely used. In fantastic shape and the minimal functions are great. If you are looking for ...

Pros: Free with service plan. Doubles as a flashlight.
Cons: Ridiculously tacky.

I switched to Sprint PCS a few months ago, and the 3585i was the free gimmick bundled with a two year contract. Normally I am very selective about my phones, but I was in a hurry that afternoon. Frankly, the cheap, adolescent aesthetic of the phone dr ...

Pros: Small,Slim,Light,Cute
Cons: To Many Lights,It Lacks A Color Screen

The Nokia 3585 Is A nice phone because it's inexpensive yet have a nice list of specs. It has Voice ...

Pros: Small, bright light, MIDI ringers
Cons: Ringer Volume, weak antenna, buttons not working

I have had this phone for 6 months. In the past month there has been nothing but problems.

Good Things-has gone for a swim, didnt work for a day but works fine now. Games are great. Easy control with arrow keys.

Bad things-...

Pros: Great phone and affordable.
Cons: basic phone, don't expect too much.

First off, you shouldn't buy this phone expecting a modern technological marvel because if you are, ...

Pros: Personalizeable, pretty, cheap
Cons: fragile, weak, useless

Well, I have been through many many phones over the years, and this one has to be my least favorite. I didn't go with pop-culture and decided to get a flip or a camera phone. I can do without. What I did want was one that I could get personalized downloadable ringtones. This phone is supposed to. Maybe it's just a glitch with this one in particular, but it didn't live up to it's promise. It's also really flimsy and I feel as though I need to be super gentle with it, or the back will fall off. I've only had it actually come off once, and that was enough. I don't need the back coming off when I put it down, or much less, when I call someone. I do like the fact that I can get the faceplate in different colors, but that's small compensation for having dropped calls, and lack of reception to send and receive text messages. I got this phone since it was free, but if you have a choice in phones...don't get this one - go for one that will stay together and stay connected.

Pros: Free with most service plans
Cons: Typical Nokia junk!

What a piece of junk! Dropped calls, slow battery life (and yes, I do run them completely dead before I charge them) I had my plan through Midwest Wireless. There was a "software issue" with this phone. Both my wife and I have the same phone. We sent both back to Midwest Wireless for service. They, in turn, sent them to Nokia. Four months later, Midwest Wireless tells me that Nokia had no idea what the problem was, and that they had no idea when we would get our phones back. I then switched to US Cellular, and got a Kyocera KX414....everything is perfect again. My third Kyocera over the years, never had a bit of trouble with Kyocera (Qualcomm).

Pros: Lightweight; charges quickly; uses other Nokia accessories; picks up PCS signal well indoors;
Cons: Cheaply made; rather fragile; could break easily if dropped often or stepped on;

This cell phone has a lot of nice features including many ring tones, options and is a small package with power. The reception on PCS is great as far as receiving a signal indoors. Some cell phones don't do as well indoors. This one does a great job!!! Not a bad phone for the basic user. Wouldn't recommend it for a business user. Uses the other Nokia accessories. If you have PCS service, you can also transfer it to this phone. Lightweight. Lots of accessories available: face plates, car charger, cases, etc.

Pros: bright lights, easy to read screen
Cons: software bugs, bulky in pocket, buttons wear quickly

This phone has cool ringtones, and appearance(lights up) and you can change the faceplate.

Other than that, it has had numerous problems:

-Turns off when confused(or just wants to)
-A few of the buttons have become almost useless.
-Calendar has program issues.

I love the calendar features and reminder abilities, but when I use it too often in a day(say more than a few times) it gets confused and turns off!! Helpful, right??
