Nokia 5100 series is no longer being sold by Nokia currently. 5100 model was designed with tough material. It was water-resistant model. It was supported with Java applications. It failed due to switch on-off, screen failure problem.

This phone has just the basic commands, works well, and can change faceplates. This was my first phone that I had and it works just as well as some of the other phones out there.

Like the look and all the features of the phone, the only bad point is the on and off switch which requires quite a bit of pressure!

Simple phone. Excellent for people who do not need anything fancy. I did find one problem, however: the battery begins to slide off after extensive use. Other than that, good phone.

The nokia 5165 is a great phone, I upgraded to a motorola v60t(what a hunk of garbage that was), I had bad reception and sound quality all the time. I went back to my faithful nokia 5165, worked like a champ.

IT SUCKS.

I have had my Nokia phone for about two years and I have found several problems with mine. I have to dial the telephone number at least two or three times until I hear dial tone. Another problem is the battery does not last very long. I love that you can change the face plates and the different musical tones.

The Nokia phones are really played out because everyone has one. The quality of the phones are alright however, after above 2 years the phones start to fall apart. Also, the different color face plates are way too expensive!
Joel 01/12/2001
I like this phone because it's simple, yet it's got a lot of features. You can even download your own tones from the internet. Even the accesories are easy to get so you can fix up your phone to look the way you want.
andiecn 01/12/2001
Lots of options. Cool interchangeable faceplates. Easy to program and use. Easy to find accessories for your phone. The hands free unit is discreet, doesn't look like headphones.
Mike Longboarder 01/12/2001
This is a great bargain phone. It has so many features. You can preprogram store phone #'s and adjust the phone to your liking.

I am on my second one of these, the 5180, and I am very satisfied with the performance. They are light, versatile and come with all the options necessary for convenience. Most of all, they are extremely durable. I dropped mine from the first story of an apartment and it still worked!
Mitn 01/10/2001
I like the style of the phones, the different colors and the size. The battery lasts pretty long but they sometimes fade in and out with reception.
Chucho 01/10/2001
Nokias are very good phones. There are lots of options that are available with this phone. For the most part, the reception is very good. People on the other line think that I am on a regular house phone.
JD Lipsky88 01/10/2001
Great improvement over the 2100. It's just small enough to fit into a pocket which is nice. The battery holds up for twice as long. The range is improved however, I would like the newer models for an even better range. For the price it is nice.
Grasshopper 01/10/2001
Great free hours. Great on distance calling. Bad when it comes to them not working for no reason whatsoever after you've recharged them etc.
Lucy 22 01/10/2001
I haven't had my phone very long but it's been great-I get very good reception and long battery life. It's durable. I've dropped it a few times and it's held up well. It's also got a lot of nice features and cute sounds!
AwShucks 01/09/2001
Phones are trendy and convenient. They come with changeable face plates that became so popular that other companies are copying the idea. They all come with only pure digital plans which makes the clarity in many places weak. You can't travel across country with the security of the digital-analog system. Rates are better than most but service needs improvement.
mrsmint927 01/08/2001
I considered Nokia 5100 phone service decent. It's plain and simple! Easy to use. However, I'd prefer a phone with more gadgets. It is too basic.
mikem 01/08/2001
It is a good phone and cheap to buy. It is trendy, but does not work well in the mountains. The size makes it easy to store. Has many easy to use options.
Starry Eyes 828 01/08/2001
Most of my friends have this phone. It works great and I love the fact that you can change the face and accessorize it.
camaron 01/08/2001
It's a good phone. Has lots of room to save numbers, names, dates, etc. The reception is good. I owned one.
Kiffiej 12/06/2000
The phone is reliable, has a few games (which drain the battery), fairly heavy duty (been dropped many a time), and overall a good starter phone. It has a keypad lock but no automatic disconnect. Faceplates make it easy to personalize.
daron30 11/27/2000
I have one and like it. Very clear sounding. Tough and sturdy phone- I dropped it a million times and it still works perfect. I like the look of the phone.
UCD.CA 11/26/2000
The best cell phone I've had. Ease of use, great reception, long battery life. Suits most people's phone needs.
jeremie 11/16/2000
It's not great but it's good. Some of the things inside the phone I wish I had but I don't. Sometimes I have no service in some places.
keykers 11/16/2000
I have had a mobile phone for six months now and it has been a Nokia. The one thing I like about them is the changeable faceplates. The service is great. I recommend it.
twotson 11/16/2000
I have a Nokia myself. I like the access it gave me. I can use it in an emergency.
2000cvtr 11/16/2000
The phone is very compact with useful features. I like the customizable body. Fits your style and your life.
Sheilla 11/15/2000
The reason I like this phone is because at the Cellular One store you can get it for free and you get cool hours. You can never waste them.
Danman2 11/15/2000
The best cell phone around. Easiest to use. Easiest to personalize and very convenient. Also, relatively inexpensive.
Calvarado 11/15/2000
If we compare the Nokia 5100, to the Ericsson CA series, the Nokia 5100 would get a rating of 5. It is more user friendly and the scroll down menu makes an easy phone to use. You can change the cover to different colors which makes this phone very attractive to the young public.
ScottyT 11/14/2000
Very versatile phone. It can be beaten up, I have dropped my phone I don't know how many times.
bill 11/14/2000
This phone is a good starter phone. It has good qualities. The games are nuts!!
xicanoflav 11/14/2000
I have this phone and I've had one problem, as opposed to other Motorola phones.
dazling 11/13/2000
Well, they are cute. You can change the face. They have many options, different ring tones. On the small side (though not small enough). Any phone above these are ridiculous to buy because you don't need anything else.
skrubdiztorzhe n 11/10/2000
Very small and compact. Not enough features. Customizable. Can't get new alerts.
andalusua40 11/10/2000
Nokia is the frontrunner in wireless today. They make a great product. Their format and functions are quick and easy to use. The phone is dependable and compact in size.
suckatree4life 11/09/2000
These phones are relatively easy to use and learn. The only downfall is there aren't enough features on the phone.
albee 11/08/2000
This phone is very affordable and performs just as well as its more expensive counterparts. It also opens the doors for easy customizing of it's phone parts.
angie 11/08/2000
I have a Nokia 5100 myself and I really like it. It's so small and handy. It sounds clear and barely cuts off. The only thing is I wish the battery would last longer.
m3nidad 11/08/2000
This is a great product because it is simple and user friendly. Its features make it easy to use and navigate.
cttibi43g8t 11/07/2000
It's big and bulky. The buttons are not labeled. It's difficult to use.
rem1 11/07/2000
I feel the design and the abiltity to change the appearance of the phone makes it good. The abundance of features and settings that come with it also let you make your phone more personalized. I have never had any problem with mine.
bigbitch 11/07/2000
Bad reception, too big, cheap cases.
dayu 11/07/2000
It's easy to use, and it's not too complicated. The service is good and you get good reception, very clear.
king6910om 11/06/2000
This phone is cool. I used to have one and it was useful.
mbermay 11/03/2000
This is an excellent phone! It's rated second best in the country. Gives outstanding performance. It has an eight day standing battery life and over three hours of talk time. Programmed with thirty ring tones, a memory to store 100 numbers, an interchangeable face and video games. Best yet, it's free if you sign up for a one year service agreement.
ruthie 11/03/2000
I like this phone because it has several telephone rings. I also like it because you can customize your cover. I also like that it has games.
alrcbal 11/03/2000
This is overall a good phone. At most places, you can even get it free. It is easy to use and you can even change the face plate or add a light bulb.
