byAaronC Sep 9, 1999
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Large Phone # memory. Simple Dialing.
Cons Hard to turn phone on -- lots of options
Recommended it? Yes

There are a number of things that instantly appealed when selecting this phone: Features, size, and battery life.

There are a number of things that weren't as nice once I started using the phone: Features and ON/OFF button.

The Nokia has a lot of options. Initially, I was quite... Read full review »

Pros long battery life
Cons current digital voice quality sucks
Recommended it? Yes

I migrated from an analog Microtac Lite and miss a few things from the Motorola: flip cover to protect the buttons from getting pressed, louder volume and the quality of analog transmission. However, I love the long battery life and multi-line large screen display.

My other peeve is that... Read full review »

Pros Size and digital quality
Cons mechanical problems with display and cover
Recommended it? Yes

While the Nokia 6162 has been an excellent phone in most respects, there are a number of hardware issues that keep it from getting high marks. My experience is limited to two phones I purchased and two purchased by friends. Of these four phones, 3 of them have had problems. Two of the phones have a... Read full review »

Like a Bulky Snickers in Your Pocket

Pros Techie features
Cons SIZE, SHAPE, & VOLUME
Recommended it? Yes

The Nokia 6100 series, although one of the best phones out there feature-wise, is a tough choice for the man about town. Why? Because for us front pants pocket cell phone carriers this phone is neither shapely, comfortable, or loud enough to be heard. Who cares if the battery lasts until next week... Read full review »

Pros great size, easy-to-use, long battery life
Cons LCD iffy quality, average return/repair policy
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my Nokia 6160 through ATT at work. And the process was painless and the phone was great - easy to use, nice form factor, long battery life. The coverage through ATT was a bit spotty but the phone was very reliable.

However, 5 months into the phone's use, I discovered that the... Read full review »

Finnish Design to Go

byJonathan Aug 6, 1999
28 Helpfuls 29 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Great design, solid, swappable face plate
Cons Rare face plates cause bouts of jealousy in other Nokia owners
Recommended it? Yes

With cellphones, the dictum "smaller is better" has always been a natural rule. This makes sense, up to a point. The Nokia series of phones seems to have struck the perfect balance of size and comfort.

This phone fits comfortable and naturally in your hand. It also feels solid, unlike the... Read full review »

Opt for the 6160 Instead of the 6162

bytom Jul 13, 1999
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros small, clear sound, good batter life
Cons 6162 flip front is awkward
Recommended it? Yes



This review focuses on the debate over the flip-front that distinguishes the 6160 (no flip-front) from the 6162 (flip front). Both phones are excellent for reception, battery life, and ease of interface -- it's a no-brainer to get the Nokia 6-series. The only question is which one...
