Honestly this one didn't and had far less options, but I really wanted it because I'd never experienced a Nokia with Sprint before. <br /><br />This phone constantly froze, and wouldn't work all that well.

It has fast text messaging, good speakers, great bat life, and I really like the front display as it shows reception and bat life all the time unlike phones with color front displays. <br /><br />Cons: <br />The problem is the casing and external design. It is a very poorly built phone with cheep fragile casing. My wife's phone broke in the first month and we glued it back together only to have it break more and more till it was about to completely fall apart 13 months after we started our contract forcing us to fork over $200 for a new phone because this one didn't go this distance. There are much better phones out there for $200. This one was a flop.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=19693#review19693 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=19693#review19693 Sun, 05 Nov 2006 18:27:01 GMT <p><i>kamber101 submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>K well i had this phone for about 5 months and let me tell you ITS AWSOMEE!!!! yup this phone is great and perfect for teens and even parents who dont need all those bells and whistles<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />LOUDDDD RINGTONES THAT U CAN RECORD<br /><br /><br />GOOOD VOICE <br /><br /><br />NICE DISPLAY<br /><br /><br /><br />LARGE DISPLAY</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=17256#review17256 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=17256#review17256 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 12:27:27 GMT <p><i>teresadavis submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>We have the family plan with sprint and my husband and I got the Nokia 3155i. Its a peice of junk. The hinge broke on mine first (hadn't had it two months)and now my husbands is broke (used about three months) I live in WV and Nokia says I have to ship to Texas, and be without a phone for what a month or longer. (meanwhile sprint still gets there monthly payment) And that the warrenty doesn't include physical damage, acting like I dropped the phone and its my fault.

Full opinion: I purchased the Nokia 3155i phone from Sprint because I wanted a basic phone, but I've been pleasantly surprised to find that the phone does more than just make phone calls. I have not had any problem with the sound on the phone being muddled; the sound is crystal clear. The reception is strong and the phone maintains its signal in elevators and other locations in which my last phone, a Motorola, did not. I purchased a data cable to attach the phone to the computer which has allowed me to download all of my contact and scheduling information from Outlook. I also downloaded about 50 compressed photographs, making the phone a portable photo viewer, which is what I like best, and there is enough memory for me to download another 50 compressed photos. I have not dropped the phone yet, but my perception is that it may not be durable. The phone is made completely of plastic. In sum, my experience with the phone is positive, and I would rate it more highly than any other phones I used prior to this. The Nokia 3155i is a great flip phone from Nokia. It is on a great deal so don't miss this. You will have to use it to believe how good I am feeling about this phone. Forget Motorola's and Samsung's..Nokia is the best of all.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=15748#review15748 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=15748#review15748 Tue, 21 Mar 2006 06:17:52 GMT <p><i>kooltrip05 submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i gave this phone a 4.5 out of 5 because the only con is the menu is sort of werid. Like a lot of us, i text message a lot, and to get to messaging you have to go through a lot. and yes, you can record memos and set them as a ringer. the outside screen is huge, and its great. the anntenna helps soo much! i swear to it. when that is up, u will 95% never drop a call. a heka cool club ringtone comes with the fone, its tight. and there is 12 mb memory, andthat is huge! that is 2x as much than camera fones and this isnt a camera fone! another cone is that if you want to lock the phone so ur annoying family members can't read ur texts and such, you have to go through a lot of menu. but overall very good fone!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=14330#review14330 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=14330#review14330 Thu, 05 Jan 2006 22:25:39 GMT <p><i>tequilasundae submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i happen to sell this phone, and i or my fellow coworkers aren't that crazy about it.<br />weve had some with hinge problems, and others go dead right out of the box.<br /> the build quality is spectacularly bad., hard thumb flipping will eventually break the hinge..the buttons are rough to the touch also, and we have many of these come back. i feel that for such a big outer display it should also be color, , or the characters should acturally FILL the screen..and the blue fish scale motif they have going on it just doesn't look good.<br />nokia made a dud</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=14215#review14215 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=14215#review14215 Sat, 31 Dec 2005 08:19:02 GMT <p><i>escargotomy submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Sprint &amp; Nokia just can't make it work even when they are trying to make it look like they are. For some reason nearly every phone Nokia has delivered to Sprint over the last 3 years has been a DOG!! Now I am a Nokia guy, and I know they have good product but their good phones seem reserved for everyone but us Sprint-users. The 3155 is a perfect example. On paper this phone looks good..more than adequate for basic telephony. I have never asked a phone to be anything else but a phone..don't need internet...don't need a camera...don't need games! Just a phone, thank you. So when i heard Sprint was getting a Nokia flip-phone I decided that I'd give them one more year of patronage rather than switching to Cingular or Verizon. My 3155 arrives by UPS in late October and already I can see we have another canine. A whip antenna instead of internal..the antenna is on the opposite side of all their other flip-phones so it won't fit in a leather case... maybe the flimsiest cheesiest case I have ever seen on a flip-phone, and a hinge that seems to yell out, "I'll be broken soon, so have a backup ready!". And yes, my hinge IS now already cracking exactly as I knew it would so I am going to have to bring it in for warranty replacement next week! Why can't Nokia &amp; Sprint get it right?? This has bothered me for all the 4 years I've suffered as a SPrint user, but never more than now. I believed in Nokia... I would never use another brand of phone but this is just pathetic. On it's behalf I will say that the 3155's reception and battery life are exceptional, but it does not make up for the crappy case &amp; design flaws which make this a real loser of a phone. I wonder how many cracked hinges I'll go through before my Sprint contract is up?? Cingular or Verizon in 2007 and hopefully some state of the art Nokias!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=14122#review14122 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=14122#review14122 Wed, 28 Dec 2005 04:05:55 GMT <p><i>lefteyeiu2006 submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I think it is a nice nokia flip.

I also decided to ditch the camera-phone feature finding I never really used that feature on my Sanyo except for adding picture ID to my contacts. I also never found poor-quality camera-phone pictures a substitute for photos from a good digital camera.<br /><br />The PROS: The main, 256k color display is brilliant. Icons, wallpaper, images look great on it. Speaker phone is loud and clear. Ringer sound is clear with support for many ringer types. Also, large address book and ability to assign ringer per contact or group is cool. I'm already addicted to the ease of text messaging. Very easy on this phone with T9 and templates. The menus are very intuitive and straight-forward (Sanyo drives me crazy with having to punch *way* too many keys to do a simple thing on their menus). Interested to try FM radio, although don't have new headset yet. Phone easily connects to PC through USB. Also, web browsing very fast and easy.<br /><br />The CONS: Earpiece quality seems somewhat tinny to me compared to Sanyo. It actually seems to be getting better (am I getting used to it or does it need to "break-in"?), but it has made it difficult to understand a conversation even at high volume, although I don't notice so much anymore (after couple weeks). Also, Nokia seems a little behind in updating their PC Suite software for the 3155i. It works, but you have to guess at things since the 3155i isn't listed in drop-down menus. I miss picture ID.<br /><br />My decision to buy this phone brought me to choose between it and the Sanyo 2300, another Sprint vision-supported non-camera phone. The better display, longer battery life, and USB support helped push me towards the Nokia. And with the FM radio, I thought I should give a different manufacturer a try (having used Motorola, Samsung, and Sanyo previously).</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=13394#review13394 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=13394#review13394 Mon, 28 Nov 2005 17:39:31 GMT <p><i>commander submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I am only bothering to type this review to clear up some misconceptions in the previous reviews.<br /><br />Before you buy this phone read what it does and doesn't do carefully. It is a basic phone with text capability and even vision if you are inclined to suffer through the web on a tiny screen.<br /><br />I came from a different Nokia and here is what I can suggest.<br /><br />Pros:<br />- GREAT Sound Quality (Got to hold it up to your ear though :))<br />- Great ring tone quality. Not sure how a speaker phone is good and the same speaker wouldn't produce great rings.<br />- Speakerphone is clear except on full volume<br />- Plays MP3s out the same speaker very clearly<br />- Battery Life is better than some other Nokias<br />- Menu is easy to navigate<br />- Buttons have positive feedback<br /><br />Cons:<br />- This phone uses a different charger than previous Nokia phones so you have to buy new car chargers or get the silly adapter.<br />- Ringer volume seems unchanged despite setting it to very loud. (This is a recent development).<br /><br />Overall this is a great phone for someone wanting to talk on their phone. I had no need for the poor quality pictures so I don't miss the camera in my old phone. No frills but good phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=13280#review13280 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=13280#review13280 Wed, 23 Nov 2005 15:33:24 GMT <p><i>CellBell submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The thought of a great Nokia flip on Sprint's network had great appeal. Unfortunately, I will have to wait to get that great Nokia flip on Sprint's network. The 3155i has very poor build quality, bordering on the cheapest plastic out there. If you are hard on your phones, do not consider this one. It most likely would smash into bits on the first drop. While incoming calls sounded quite clear, the actual call volume is so poor, I needed to have volume up to max to hear adequately in my own home. I would never to be able to hear someone in a noisier environment. Ring tones sounded surprisingly cheap. The only pro's to the phone are very good speakerphone and the FM radio. Sprint usually demands better quality from their vendors than what Nokia delivered. What happened???? Very disappointing.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=13112#review13112 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=13112#review13112 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 00:48:58 GMT <p><i>figger submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is a phone for those of us who want a great cellphone for talking and messaging.<br /><br /> It has a very loud and clear ear speaker, loud rings, and a good speakerphone. You can assign a different ring for every number in your address book if you would like. You can also set up to 500 contacts with up to 5 #'s for each along with their email addresses, web address, image, street address and notes. <br /> I am really impressed with the new T9 messaging text. It makes sms very easy and fast. I can see myself using this feature alot more than I currently do. I think I am going to increase my text messages on my plan from 500 a month to unlimited now. You can create templates of things you normally send to even make things easier. <br /> There is also a nice todo list and calendar feature with 12 mb of storage for info and pictures. <br /> Basically for this phone I wanted to downsize to a really good phone only instead of the more treo type phones I am used to. I have gone back to having a separate palm for work. Overall, I like this unit, it does what it should do well.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=718 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=13084#review13084 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=718&r=13084#review13084 Mon, 14 Nov 2005 20:28:59 GMT <p><i>chucknorris submitted this review of the Nokia 3155i / VI-3155:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this is a very basic nokia flip phone being one of the first flip phones nokia has produced i find that this phone has a large amount of lag time when you flip it open!! also poor sound quality on calls. the menu is more difficult than previous NOKIA's!!!
