by poseidon  - Top 200, Dec 17 '99
Pros: non-existant weight, great options, small size, good battery life
Cons: price and I'm afraid I'll drop this and never know
WOW.
That about sums up my opinion on the Nokia 5160.
To compare this phone to my previous Motorola Flip Phone I despise (go on, read the opinion!) -- I think a two tin cans tied together with string would beat that phone. But...

Pros: durable, clear, small, many features
Cons: battery will fade without good care, Nokia accessories are not cheap
I wrote an opinion on this phone pretty soon after I got it, but my views has changed a little since I've had it-some for the better some for worse. Because of my land line situation, this is my primary phone and has performed very well considering the...

Pros: size, quality, customization
Cons: no end button, quiet ringer, no light on feature without pressing clear
My Nokia 5160 came free with my cellular contract. One of the reasons I signed up for the contract was when I saw the phone they were giving out with the plans.
I have had the phone for about 3 or 4 months now. I think the phone is...

Pros: Keeps you in contact with friends and family, low bill, and good service.
Cons: Can't think of any!
Well, I finally got around to buying a cell phone for driving and
emergencies. I was looking for a good quality, low price phone, and this is the one that I chose. I have yet to be disappointed with this phone majorly, it has a GREAT battery life...

Pros: Small, lightweight, easy to use
Cons: Stock battery is weak, weak volume
We just bought two Nokia 5160 cell phones and I think they are a tremendous value.
The 5160 is a tri-mode phone (2 digital frequency ranges and 1 analog frequency range) which makes is compatible with most major cell phone carriers currently...

Pros: Great voice quality, lightweight, durable, lots of added features
Cons: Keypad tones are not very loud
I wanted a cellular phone that was of great quality and had all of the features I was looking for-- and I found that in the Nokia 5160. The phone is lightweight and easy to carry around and delivers the clearest and most reliable sound quality of any...

Pros: Small, Light, Cheap
Cons: Antennae is a pain in the buttocks
When I switched from GTE Wireless to Cellular One, I needed a new phone (obviously). I had an older Nokia phone (can't remember the model number, but it was analogue and I got it for a $.01 when I opened my account with GTE) so when Cell One offered me...

by jenningspaige , Feb 19 '01
Pros: Small, changeable face plate, good reception
Cons: heavy, battery life gets shorter and shorter over time.
I got this phone about a year and a half ago. I paid $249 for it at full price. When my contract ended I traded it in to Pac Bell and got a new one for free with activation. If it weren't for the new Nokia 8290, I'd still have the 5160.
I...

Pros: Small compact, good reception
Cons: None
This is the third cell phone I have had, and definitely the best. It's small, compact, light, and fits great in my purse or in a jacket pocket.
The clarity is great on this phone. I live in a mountainous region, and sometimes the mountains...

Pros: Many features and "jazz up" covers
Cons: Nothing
I can not lie. I bought this phone for its looks. Who can resist Gecko Green? You pass the shops in the mall and they have a red one, and they have a blue one... They even have a green one! They have just about every sports team and every...

Pros: Easy to use, Nice features
Cons: Could be a little more lightweight and slimmer
The Nokia 5160 is not only a reliable phone but it is easy to use and comes equipped with many excellent features. The phone has an address book stored into it so you can easily look up a phone number you need to call. You can personalize your Nokia...

Pros: Inexpensive, quality phone
Cons: ringer not loud enough in noisy setting
The Nokia 5160 is a wonderful little phone. One of the good things about it is you get quality at a reasonable price. This phone is similar to the 6100 series, just scaled down a bit with fewer features. Personally, I don't miss those extras.

Pros: Light, colorful, and a ton of great features
Cons: nothing
Cellphones were made to be plain, sometimes quite heavy, utilitarian instruments. Not anymore! Nokia has literally wiped out the competition with this phone. Why do I love this phone so much? Plenty of reasons.
1) It's really lightweight....

Pros: small, easy to program
Cons: none
A friend gave me a Nokia phone a few years ago. I'm not sure which model it was, but it was old and worn out. I decided it was time for a new phone so I went by SunCom (our local service company) to see what they had. They were running a special, get...

by sassycoll , Apr 05 '00
Pros: economical, dependable
Cons: not as 'chic' as others on the market
So I needed a new cell phone, as my old one was REALLY old. I didn't want to spend a lot on a phone so I went with the 5160. And frankly I don't understand what more I could need. The phone stores phone numbers and can be programmed to do one touch...
