Nokia 5165 Cell Phone

Pros: size, price
Cons: reception, games, voice mail and text messaging hard to figure out.

I've had the Nokia 5165 for over 2 years now. I bought this with a 1 yr tracfone plan in july 2003. This phone basically gets the job done...and thats about it. Size: Overall this phone is of average size. You can get plenty of smaller ones out ...

Pros: Sturdy, Good Battery Life, Faceplates.
Cons: Sound quality is bad, Lack of more robust addressbook.

I recently became a AT&T user, and wrote a review on a awesome phone, my Erricson, however when my Erricson phone decided it would be fun to leap from my shirt pocket to a hard floor and shatter the folks at my AT&T Wireless shop were nice enough to...

Pros: Easy to Use, Decent Battery Life, Inexpensive
Cons: Too Big,

I have had my Nokia 5165 Phone for almost a year and I have been very pleased with it. I am lite cell phone user (less than 400 minutes a month) so this phone works great for me. I got it for free when I signed up for a year of AT&T Wireless service so...

Pros: Great features, love the ability to change face plates
Cons: a little heavy to clip on that hot little Friday night outfit!

I had a Nokia 5160 and went to get my boyfriend added to my service. They informed me that to get a new *cheaper* plan I would need to upgrade my phone. The good news was the phone was only $10.00 :)! I agreed and had nothing but trouble for the first...

Pros: Good reception/features/battery life/size
Cons: Maybe slimmer battery??

Wow, almost two-years of reviews for the Nokia 5165. Pretty impressive that this model is still offered and appreciated in the buy/replace/toss cellular phone market.

I've had this phone for about a year now and really like it. The size is...

Pros: Lightweight, couple of games, alarm clock. Nice phone for the buck.
Cons: No data cable for it, so getting ring tones into it costs you minutes.

I got this phone with my Tracphone prepaid package. It's digital and has all the usual features one would expect in a cell phone: address book, one-number dialing, and call timers. Any phone that doesn't come with those nowadays can pretty much be looked...

Pros: Simple phone to use. Doesn't need the bells & whistles like others.
Cons: Games...who needs them?!?!?

I've had my Nokia 5165 for just about one full year now. I have waited to write a review until I was positive about the product, and was able to put it through hell. The following is what I have learned.

I purchased the 5165 standard package...

Pros: Great Features, Kewler look than 5100 series.
Cons: Not small enough to show off to friends. Somewhat Bulky in a modern way.

Well, after dropping my shiny red Nokia 5160 Model I received the 5165 covered by my phone insurance plan. Always spend the extra bucks on insurance! Anyways, this model looks more modern than the 5160 model because of the more stylish faceplate,...

Pros: good reception, easy to use
Cons: not too many features

My Nokia 5165 is about three years old. I have had it for over a year and before me my sister used it. The phone has held up very well over three years. I get reception almost everywhere (I only have trouble in heavily wooded areas and in a few stores)....

Pros: Very Durable, Text Messenging, Nice interface, Office tools, Reception.
Cons: Big, Battery life, Sensitive keys, Lack of advanced features.

Form Factor When you first look at the Mitsubishi T300 Phone, you are inspired to blow ...

Pros: easy to use, many available ring tones
Cons: phone to battery attachment not secure

I am a public relations professional, so I live on my cell phone. It's unfortunate fact of my life, but it does make me somewhat of an expert in the area.
This is my second Nokia telephone. Overall, it's a very durable brand. The only reason I...

Pros: Price: Often "free" with a multi-year plan; balance of features, reliability.
Cons: Problems with Carkit "handsfree" recharge.

Nokia's entry level digital phone comes in your favorite color (as long as its blue). You CAN buy different color face plates for an astonishingly high $25 MRP (get 'em for a lot less on eBay).

But why start with a complaint? This phone has...

Pros: Excellent design, ergonomic, good battery life, well designed menu.
Cons: Bulky, does not vibrate, poor choice of ringtones.

When I saw this Nokia phone I chose it... not only for the brand, which I respect, but for the design as well. The screen went dead a couple of days after purchase. A friend made a call and when he gave it back to me the display mysteriously would not...

Pros: User friendly
Cons: reception is hard to come by

Nokia has been coming out with a newer version of their phone more and more often it seems. Last year I had the 5160 model and this year upgraded to the 5165.(which is already surpassed by an even better model)

However, this cost efficient...

Pros: Easy to use and durable
Cons: None yet

The Nokia 5165 is a very reliable phone. I find the phone has all the features I could want. It includes a phone book, thirty different tones, text messaging, caller id, missed call list, time of call list, three games (snake, logic, memory,), and a...
