Nokia 6162 Cell Phone

Pros: Lightweight, many features, easy to program
Cons: Can fall apart easily if dropped

As a part of my job, I carry a company cell phone, so that I can be easily reached if necessary. I was used to carrying a Quallcomm (see my review at: http://madyl.epinions.com/./elec-review-5D5B-6E76CF9-393C733D-prod6), which is a much larger phone...

Pros: Flip-cover to protect keys, better keypad than 6160, lots of talk/standby time, easy to use interface
Cons: Some find the flip cover awkward, a little tall to comfortably fit in pockets

I'm going to focus first on the difference between the 6160 and 6162 because they are both comparable phones, then talk a little about why the Nokia 6100 series is currently the top choice in value and performance.

The 6160/6162 debate rages...

Pros: Easy to use Nokia operating system, flip cover protects keypad
Cons: Doesn't browse the Internet on AT&T like the new Ericsson phone

When I switched from Sprint PCS to AT&T Wireless, this was the phone that I bought. I had previously used a different Nokia model that looks the same but doesn't have the flip cover with Voicestream Wireless, so I knew that Nokia phones were terrific...

Pros: Small, Compact, Light, Flip
Cons: No vibrating battery

The Nokia 6162 is a wonder little phone that has many great features. Actually it has all the same features as the 6160 except the 6162 has a flip on it. I prefer the flip to the other in that with the flip you are not pushing the buttons all the time...

Pros: Active Flip, Good Set of Features
Cons: Small size - Easy to misplace

I recently switched Cellular Providers, to AT&T Wireless, and when I did, my Nokia 5160 would no longer work.

So I did my research into the 2 phones I was interested in, the Nokia 6160, and the 6162.

The only difference in...

Pros: Battery life, sound quality, ease of use
Cons: Size, cost

The 6162 is a great phone and in my estimation is worth its somewhat high price. Here are the pros and cons:

Pros:
-Incredible battery life for both standby and talk time. However, when you are outside the digital area of the network it...

Pros: All
Cons: None

I bought Nokia 6160 as soon as it came out. My cell phone has become my primary phone, and Nokia 2160 was too big. At first, I was very happy, here are some pros and cons:

- The battery life is awesome. It will last 2 days on 1hr a day...

Pros: Vibrating battery available, number search, easy to read
Cons: No voice activated dialing

I got my new cell phone in December. So far, I love it.

I actually got it for free, because of the rebates they were offering at the time.

Actually, I was going to get the same phone, but without the flip (because it was about $50...

Pros: battery life, memory, size
Cons: none

I just replaced my old Motorola StarTac with a new Nokia 6162. So far I love it! It seems to have clearer reception than the StarTac. But, the feature I like most is the battery life. I have the extended life battery and I now only charge it once a week....

Pros: Flip cover, clarity, light-weight, good plan
Cons: price

When you think of cell phones you think of Nokia. They are among the best cell phones put on the market. The Nokia 6162 is the best cell phone yet that I have had. I use it for work and I use it for personal uses too. The Nokia is a great phone that...

Pros: Tons of accessories, light, great sound
Cons: A tad bit expensive

I am a former Sprint customer and I am much happier with my Nokia 6162. This phone is great. It has 35 different ring sounds, and can hold a lot of phone numbers. One of the features I really like is that there is this option called Caller Groups....

Pros: Small,clear tone,easy to use
Cons: none yet

I purchased the Nokia 6162 cell phone after looking at hundreds of similar phones. I travel alone much of the time and i wanted a small phone that would fit easilly in my purse or "belly bag". The Nokia is a perfect size and the keys are...

Pros: Talk time, flip cover, menu functions
Cons: fading monitor, weight/size

Overall, this is a decent phone. However, there are two problems I had with it. The first one I encountered multiple times (twice) and I ended up switching to a Motorola Startac phone as a result of it. The screen faded on me twice and I couldn't see...

Pros: Small, very easy to use
Cons: no vibrating alert option

I have owned several different cellular phones. Nokia, by far, exceeds the other brands that I have owned.

The 6162 is small, light, and easy to use. It is very clear, most people don't realize that I am on cellular phone. The address...

Pros: Face-Plates, Auto-Redial, Key-Lock, etc. etc. etc
Cons: so many damn choices for face plate!!!

In the real world market of cell-phones, it very easy to say something like, 'ehh, they're all the same, ill just get a cheap one with a good warranty.' If you don't want great features such as 'Auto-redial', 'Keypad Lock', and 'Voice-Mail Capability',...

Pros: Small and light weight
Cons: Expensive and flip cover could come off

I just recently bought the Nokia 6162 phone and I love it! I used to have a phone from Sprint (not sure what it was exactly) and then I had an Ericsson phone that I hated. The Nokia 6162 is wonderful for many reasons:

1) It's very light...

Pros: Size/weight, features, flip face
Cons: Accessory interface, flip prone to damage if not careful

I've had this phone for a little over 2 years and have been completely satisfied. I only have two "negative" issues with it. First, the flip can be damaged if you are a rough or careless user. Of course, any flip phone has this issue. Once you become...

Pros: Good shape - lightweight - long battery life
Cons: a bit pricey (other nokia phones may be better value)

I've been using my 6162 for about 7 months, and I'm quite happy with it. I would not have upgraded from any of the 5000 or 6000 phones, as the flip is basically (in my opinion) a gimmick. I don't believe that it improves sound quality (any more...

Pros: Lightweight, Flip Cover, Excellent Battery, Great Antenna Range, Good Features
Cons: Accessories are expensive

I have recently purchased a new cellular phone, the Nokia 6162. I spent many months researching cel phones. I spoke to dozens of salespeople, and people who use cel phones of every type. I talked to people who used cel phones for work and for...

Pros: Talk time, small, voice quality
Cons: Fragile, breaking antenna, cluttered UI, lacks voice recognition

I bought Nokia 6160 as soon as it came out. My cell phone has become my primary phone, and Nokia 2160 was too big. At first, I was very happy, here are some pros and cons:

- The battery life is awesome. It will last 2 days on 1hr a day...

Pros: compact and durable
Cons: not cheap

I've only used Nokia cell phones to date, and I have not been disappointed yet. The Nokia cell phones I have used include the 2110 and 6110. Without exception they have given me good service. This model is no exception. It includes a good balance of...

Pros: Fairly small and easy to navigate the menus
Cons: Bad receptions and poor battery life

This phone has been with me for over a year now and though it did served its purpose I did find some faults with it.

On the good side this phone is very user friendly. You can just navigate through the menu with ease. You can even use the...

Pros: durability and features. Size
Cons: reception,

I love this phone!!! I highly recommend this phone because it is small and compact, unlike some of the other brand-phones on the market. However, the size does not detract from its sturdiness. Even if knocked around your bag, or pocket, the nokia...

Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Lots of Features
Cons: Reception could be better in my area (Chapel Hill, NC) on ATT Network

I have had my Nokia 6162 for 2+ years. It has been dropped several times (from 3+ feet) onto concrete and pavement, with no damage. The 6162 is an easy to use phone, particularly if you are familiar with Nokia's organizing style of the functions. I...

Pros: Great Options (caller ID, call waiting, email/page), Great sound
Cons: Battery life shorter than advertised, dies suddenly

I love the features on this phone, especially the email that allows friends to send you a short note without interupting your meetings etc (and without using up all your minutes). Many of the problems with clarity are probably due to AT&T since when...

Pros: Great reliable phone
Cons: Fragile casing around antenna

I was involved in researching and recommending which cell phones my company standardized on. We chose the Nokia 6160's and 6162's. These are almost the same phone, except the 6162's have a flip cover.

We have 31 cell phones which we have...

Pros: Great battery life, good clarity, easy to use
Cons: Could be sturdier, but then would probably be heavier

I bought the 6162 because a few personal friends bought the phone and had nothing but good things to say about it.
I love all the features of the phone, even down to the silly games you can play on it. The battery life is fantastic! I will never...

Pros: cute, battery life, features, tri-band, flip security features.
Cons: Weak Flip, but still stronger than most.

I used to work for AT&T, so I sold this phone. It didn't sell all that great because of the price, but it was a good buy. It is pretty close to its siblings, the 5160 and the 6160, but it has the nice little flip to keep you from pressing the...

Pros: convenient flip cover, light, easy to use
Cons: relatively expensive

I owned a 6160, which was stolen, then I purchased a 6162 (flip-cover). Both are excellent phones, identical in functionality, size and weight. In fact, the only difference is that the 6162 has the flip cover whereas the 6160 does not.

Both...

Pros: Excellent reception
Cons: A little expensive

I purchased a Nokia 6162 cell phone about 2 months ago. I love this phone! It has superior reception unlike Motorola and Sony phones. Anywhere I am, I can connect a call except for basements and sometimes department stores. This phone also comes with...

Pros: Small size, lightweight, some good features, flip phone protects key pad.
Cons: Battery life too short, phone gets hot after only short time, accessories scarce, expensive price.

This phone has some good points, but the bad seem to outweigh the good. It is smaller than some phones, but still bulky to put in your pocket. The accessories tend to be hard to find from the phone dealers for this phone & overall are kind of expensive,...

Pros: Size, voice quality, battery life
Cons: No vibrating alert

Having owned several mobile phones in my life, I must say that this one has impressed me the most. It has great battery life, excellent reception, cool features, a small profile, and light weight. Sure it isn't as small as the 8860, but it doesn't cost...

Pros: Reliable, good reception
Cons: Not many cases available

I have had a Nokia 6162 for about a year now and I really like it. It has been very reliable and easy to use.
I use the Address Book feature all of the time. This allows you to scroll backwards and forwards through your address book (by name)...

Pros: Battery Life, Ease of Use, Sound Quality
Cons: Slightly larger that other 2000 model phones

I chose this phone on the advice of co-workers also using AT&T Wireless Services. I am very happy with the quality, features and price.

The phone is designed well. Features are intuitively located under a numbered menu system. Help for...

Pros: Easy to use light weight
Cons: flip cover

In August of 2000 I purchased an Nokia 6121. I bought it because I like Nokia's phones but soon afterwords I found the flip cover to be an annoying accessory. The flip cover has broke twice on my phone so far and I find that it was a litte annoying to...

Pros: Loaded with features, small size, long battery life
Cons: Only comes in one color (black)

If you haven't seen this phone, you've been living in a cave. The Nokia 6162 seems to be one of the most popular cell phones on the market. Once you use it, you'll discover why. This phone is easy to use, full of great features, and is small enough to...

Pros: easy to use makes life easier
Cons: not good for clumsy people breakable if hard on but so are computers

In fact the only difference between the 2 phones is the flip .. and hey if you need a coloured phone go to the kids section in the bay .. this is a great phone it works just as well as the nokia 6160 but has the active flip on it which means no pushing...

Pros: lots of features and good after market support.
Cons: bad in fringe signal areas compared to other phones.

I bought this phone through an ATT dealer (Suncom) in Birmingham Al.
It was rated as the best. Although having bad experience in low
signal areas with Nokias, I bought it. Along the roads and in
areas showing 3+ on signal strength is is...

Pros: Cover
Cons: Reception

My brother had given me this cellular phone because he couldn't afford the service he was getting from AT&T. He was getting 120 minutes and free night and weekend for 35 dollars. I do not use all 120 minutes however the phone isn't really great. I...

Pros: a clock in it for one!
Cons: kinda expensive...

Got it a week ago, real nice and sleek looking, I love that about it. It's got a clock too! Really a cool feature. It's just the right size too not too big (like any of them are anymore) and not too small like some of those flip phones or worse yet a...

Pros: Excellent instrument
Cons: None

Super telephone and super service from Nokia. I have used this telephone for 2 years. I have dropped it off of the roof of the car while traveling and Nokia fixed it free. The cover got to where it would not shut off the phone and it was out of...

Pros: Sound Quality, Easy to Use interface
Cons: Slightly Larger than optimum

This phone works almost everywhere in the northeast, especially inside buildings where other phones tend to loose the signal. I have dropped the phone on several occasions and it still works flawlessly. A great feature is the easy to use interface and...

Pros: Flip feature, battery life, ring choices
Cons: fading display, wears out too quick

I have been using the 6120 for a little over a year. I chose this one because of the flip feature. I didn't like having to use the lock feature and having the buttons pushed while in my purse. While I loved the phone when I got it due to all its cool...

Pros: clarity
Cons: small size(could go either way)

All the features and the clarity of this phone is unbelievable, many pros, some cons. This is just an unbelievable phone, i have to use 100 words, this phone only has a couple words needed to describe it : real nice, real good, beautiful, light, sleek....

Pros: great idea
Cons: pricey

The flip top is so much more streamlined. By the looks of this baby, this idea will go a long way. you don't have to worry if the keys will be pushed while in a womens purse or a mans' pocket. The flip top will protect the keys from dirt and food...

Pros: features
Cons: flip may break

I have had the Nokia 6162 for a few months now. I personally have had no problems with it. It is a great phone with many cool features. I upgraded from the 5160 and this is much better. The caller groups and different profiles really make this phone...

Pros: Easy to use, and long talk time
Cons: The flip could break off easily

This phone is great because it has a flip option on it, so it covers the numbers so that you won't accidentally push them if it is in a pocket or purse. This phone has a calendar, caller I.D., and countless other options. You can even play games if you...

Pros: Size, battery life and features
Cons: None

I needed to get away from analogue phones! No battery life, large bulky equipment and horrific per call rates!

I needed a compact digital phone that still fitted my hand, so many others are so tiny I feel embarrassed to use them! The Nokia...

Pros: Size and Clarity
Cons: Shorter talk time

I have been very pleased with my Nokia 6162. I thought it was a little expensive when I first purchased it, however, after owning it for almost eighteen months I am very happy with it. I have had no trouble with the phone and I am still using the...

Pros: Small, light, easy to use, featureful.
Cons: A little expensive, missing some very minor features that I'd like.

I bought a Nokia 6162 in December 1999, and I must say it's been a great little phone since then. The sound volume is good (I rarely have to strain to hear someone), and the features are outstanding. Mostly I have a few minor complaints, but they're...

Pros: Features, Durability
Cons: Price

Four years ago I was new to the Cellular world but after many tries I finally found a phone that "anyone can use".
The Nokia 6162 is truly the easiest phone I have ever used. The features include a phonebook which will hold...

Pros: Good sound and service
Cons: Flip is sensitive

This phone may soon become my only phone. It works almost everywhere in conjunction with my AT&T service, and I travel in many rural areas. The flip down feature makes this much safer to operate when I am driving, which is often. It is simple to...
