byjohnjoh Jan 15, 2000
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros light-weight, good information storage, strong after-market, good styling and size
Cons antenae may break off, no synching your address book with a computer
Recommended it? Yes

This phone is a good choice for anyone looking for a cell phone purchase. It's a good size (good styling, good weight), good information storage capabilities, it has plenty of after-market components (faceplates, antenaes that light up, colored batteries, vibrating batteries, etc.), etc. The...

Pros features, light-weight, battery life on standby
Cons talk time drastically decreases battery, does not come with desktop charger
Recommended it? Yes

The Nokia 6160 is a GREAT phone! The phone is very lightweight and loaded with features. The phone can easily be stored in your pocket or it has a nifty belt clip that prevents slipping. The features include alarm clock, games, calendar, 200+ memory for numbers and has a standby time of almost 7... Read full review »

Terrific overall

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros build quality, easy of use, battery life
Cons need optional battery for vibra-alerts, and not that compact
Recommended it? Yes

This is perhaps the best phone overall out there on the market.

Quite light (really), VERY easy to use, great battery life (not the top, but really up there), large screen, very robust build.

However, I decided against it cuz I wanted something smaller and lighter to slip in my... Read full review »

Pros You can make a call, generally.
Cons You can not complete the call most of the time.
Recommended it? No

My husband is a network technician, and therefore in the field a lot. His customers rely upon this phone to get ahold of him during the day. His work has paid for the phone (we personally use Primeco), and we have never had more problems with a phone than this Nokia. It is very disconcerting to get... Read full review »

The Little Phone That Could

byBriznook Jan 12, 2000
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Weight, size, battery, antenna, shell
Cons nothing
Recommended it? Yes

This phone will not stop. The best part about it is its battery. I have been using it continuously for a long time, and it rarely needs charging. I can use it daily for a week, even two, without charging. It gets extremely good reception. I live in an area where not many cellular recievers are... Read full review »

What A Rip-Off

byDerek8002 Jan 11, 2000
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Its waste of time features
Cons Its connections
Recommended it? No

I have tried and tried to get good performance out of this phone, and came up with negative results almost every time! The phone sounded like a good deal, but most everything does when coming from the mouth of a good salesperson. I bought this phone in hopes of having good connections virtually... Read full review »

Nice compact phone

bybrewman Jan 11, 2000
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros small, lightweight, many features
Cons viewing screen dims sometimes
Recommended it? Yes

The Nokia 6160 phone is a good, small, lightweight digital phone! I've had my phone almost 1 year now. This phone is small enough and light enough that I take it backpacking with me whenever I go out. I also work outside a fair amount of the time and can get quite dusty at times, but I've never had...

Good overall phone.

byjoescalone Jan 7, 2000
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Superb sound quality, durability, and options
Cons Ringers and earpiece can be quiet.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had a Nokia 6160 since the week it came out (over two years) and I will say that it has held up nicely. I have only had one problem with it, cracking. Its durability is second to none, but I actually cracked the plastic casing around the antenna. To get this fixed I had several options. I... Read full review »

Hot, Hot, Hot (Literally)

Helpful? 1 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great features, convenient size
Cons Phone seems to heat up
Recommended it? Yes

This phone heats up (around the ear piece) to an uncomfortable temperature if you use it for 15 minutes or more. At first, I thought that it was my imagination. However, a later replacement phone has the same problem. I'm not sure what it is caused by...but it does cause me a little concern about... Read full review »

Pros workhorse that doesn't give up
Cons a little bulky by today's standards
Recommended it? Yes

This is my 3rd Nokia cell phone. I also have had Ericcson, Motorola, Bosch, Uniden, and Fujitsu cell phones. I would need to see remark improvements in all but the Bosch to consider those phones again.

Battery life is always the big question, followed closely by reception, when discussing... Read full review »
