Nokia 5165

this is the worst phone ever
i got this phone free w/my cingular plan and hated it since day one. it has limited features, annoying ring tones, crappy software, and looks and feels like a big chuck of useless plastic--no matter what you do, stay away from this phone!!
oldie but goodie
i kept this phone for about 1 1/2 years and it was great so it didnt have many features but it always had great service and good sound so over all if you dont mind not having features then this phone is for you!!!!!
Not bad... as a temporary phone
I bought this phone after my Versio plunged towards it's death, and I've had it for a few weeks, and heck, why not, let's write a review.
This phone isn't bad, but it's inferior to my Versio. There is a small, constant hiss sound in the background when placing a call, which can get very annoying (Using Rogers Wireless in Quebec, Canada). The battery life is respectable, but nothing extraordinary. I terribly miss the choice of backlight color, but it's counterbalanced by the changeable faceplates.
I am moving on to GSM soon, because I have been disappointed by this phone, and ordered a BlackBerry 5810 off eBay.
Pros:
- Respectable battery life
- Changeable faceplates
- Analog capability
Cons:
- Small, constant hissing sound in the background when talking
- Ringtones are seriously boring
To sum it up, it's not a bad phone, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice for long-term, especially considering TDMA is doomed to slowly fade away.

my 1st cell phn
wow i remember this phn. i had the noika 5160 and i had no problems with reception but the phn did not vibrate so that sucked and the phn is big but other than that the phn was great. this was my first nokia and loved nokia phn ever since
My 1st Phone Back In The Day!!!
This was my first cell phone that my mom bought for me back in 2000. I have since moved onto Sank. But, back in the day everyone had this phone. All of my friends back in high school had this phone. That was back then. This phone is soooooooooooooo wack now. No wireless web, no downloadable ringtones, no PTT, no camera, no color. it just sucks. And its bulky and ugly. That is why everyone needs to get the Sanyo 4500/5500.
worst phone ever made
this is the worst phone ever made. it sucks the phone volume is on 5 max but i cant here it. it doesnt go any louder. i have had to have it worked on 4 or5 times they ended up give me another one just like it i had to take it back also. i wouldnt advice that anyone get this kind of phone they are no good.
