Pros: Nice look, not too heavy, cheap, long battery life, good customer care services! Cons: Not too many features.
For my boyfriend's 22nd birthday, his mom decided that we should become like the rest of the United States and have a cell phone. They went shopping, and came back with a Nokia 5165. It came with all the adapters and accessories for only $200! Its a...

Pros: Lightweight, games, Tones Cons: Static
If you are looking for a cellphone to use rarely, this is the way to go. It's cheap yet it has all the features you could possibly need. I do not recommend this phone if you plan to use it for emergency purposes. I constitenly lose connection, and...

Pros: Small, user-friendly, versatile Cons: Same old tones
The Nokia 5165 phone is a great phone. Although it's almost exactly alike to the 5160, save for a few program features, it's worth the extra money. I have very few problems using the phone and the service is pretty good. The browsing buttons and the...

Pros: Great phone, tons of features, easy to use Cons: battery comes off easily, turns off on its own
I bought this phone about a month ago and absolutely love it. It was very easy to figure out and I did not even use the manual. Everything is accessible just by scrolling through the menu. The phone included a ton of ring tones, and 3 games. The...

Pros: Small, easy to use, clear as a bell, cool number storage option Cons: Can't think of any
I had a Star Tac phone before I got my Nokia Phone. I didn't like it and I plan to write a review on why. My sister sells phones for Sun Com and I really wanted to get rid of that "death trap" phone I had before, so I bought a Nokia 5165 from her.

Pros: Attractive, good size, good battery, very durable. Cons: Complicated to understand at times because of small size.
There are many positives and many negatives to this phone. But like everything, once you get the hang of it, it isn't so bad. This phone is sometimes hard to use because there is only so much that you can do with the few buttons that are on it. This...

Pros: Better than the 5160 Cons: A little big
I had the Nokia 5160 series cell phone for the last two years when it began to not work very well. The phone would ring, but I had trouble hearing the person calling and they had trouble hearing me. I understand that this happens sometimes with cell...

Pros: Changeable Face Plates, Small enough to fit in pocket or small purse Cons: battery comes loose it will disconnect your phone-Bad reception at times
This phone is great - at first. Sure it is small, compact and easy to carry. But what happens when a few months pass and your phone begins to get older? The battery will knock loose. Leaving you to tape or even super glue it in just so it won't knock...

Pros: Free, clear, vibrate mode, lots of different rings Cons: No speaker phone or web browser
Overall
This phone is nice and clear. I like how it looks, it comes with two face plates (red and brushed nickel). You can also buy additional ones in almost any color you could want. I don't like how there isn't a speaker phone, but it...

Pros: Speedy recharging device, great reception, and fun rings. Cons: Static is occasionally a problem
If you're in the market for a small, lightweight, fun, and well-priced cell phone, you've found the one for you.
I have owned this phone since Christmas. It's never died on me and always goes the extra mile. My daughter owns one, and she calls...

Pros: Easy to use, cheap price, e-mail options, instant message options, etc. Cons: Slightly larger than the ideal cell size (for me)
This is a great cell phone. It holds up to 100 names, phone numbers, and e-mails in the phone book, which you can assign 7 of to speed dial numbers (1 is reserved for voice mail, and 9 is reserved for 911). Voice mail gives options of a automated...

Pros: Ease of use, great features, voice clarity excellent Cons: None
I recently changed providers because Cingular coverage was lousy in my area and got these free (after rebate). I also wanted to dump my Motorola phones after my job was eliminated there. So far I'm impressed with the clarity and feature set. The phone...
