Review of Nokia 5100

Bought the Nokia 5100 in order to have a sturdy cell phone with IrDA and HSD. Cover: The Nokia 5100 is made of the same sheet metal and plastic as any other phone underneath the cover, so we won't find any special sturdiness here. The cover itself is made in rubber, which makes the keys quite hard to use (when e.g. writing SMS messages). The plugs for headset and poweramp in the bottom is protected by a rubber flap which will probably fall off ...
...information. Extras: The Nokia 5100 is shipped with a power amp and a headset with a built-in radio. The charger is unfortuneately of different standard than the ones used on 3210. The headset is made in a quality that just don't last and allready one wire is broken. The radio was good, though. Two mini-jacks and a radio built-in the phone would be a much better solution. The Nokia 5100 has a lamp built in which is supricingly useful. Only minus ...

Review of Nokia 5100

Nokia 5100 ----------------- I was looking for a present for my sons 18th birthday and, as he wanted a new mobile, we sat down at the computer and searched through the phones that were available. What he was looking for Surprisingly enough, he wasn’t interested in cameras, video recorders or MP3 players. He wanted something tough that he could use to text and phone his mates. What we found Well we found this sporty looking phone with a protective ...

Review of Nokia 5100

...this is not your usual Nokia phone. It's something quite unique. The first shockproof, colour screen mobile phone to be released in the UK boasts a number of features you would not find on a regular mobile phone. To start off with, a rather impressive LED flashlight, which takes no additional battery usage, meaning it can be used for up to 15 hours non-stop as well as the added extra of being able to use the normal features of the phone at the same ...
...you would expect from every Nokia phone, the 5100 being no different. Disadvantages: 1) A very stubborn on/off button, when used with the official Nokia Covers. You need to really push and hold firmly for a few seconds, which can cause minor discomfort and irritation to the fingertips. However, many unofficial covers, while being of a slightly lower quality, have a far easier to use on/off button, as well as being around half the price, sometimes ...

Review of Nokia 5100

I have owned the Nokia 5100 for nearly a year now, I got mine as an upgrade from the 5210 at Phones 4U. When I first saw this phone I couldn’t really see why I would want it because its not the nicest of looking phones when put next too some of the phones on the market, but I wasn’t going to let my first opinion make my decision I did actually want to get to know what this phone could offer me that my current phone couldn’t. The phone is loaded ...

The quality of the reception for the radio is really quite good also. Flashlight – This may not give out the best light and replace a torch but if there’s nothing else to hand it would do the trick, and it uses very little battery. Games – There ...

Review of Nokia 5100

...be operated with gloves on,shouldn't Nokia considered the buttons at least positionwise ie call/scroll maybe elevated? Navigating the 5100 is easy and the extra functions are easy aswell.Flashlight what a great idea! Really useful,and that blueish light is not so hard on the eyes when its dark. Weight and appereances are okey for me,again i'm not going for a "bling" phone to show off to my friends In conlusion: a really good sturdy phone that ...

Review of Nokia 5100

Sports phones all started here with this! I loved the 8310 with its small sleek deisgn and radio, and when I upgrade last year, I just knew I couldn't go on without a radio in my phone again! The 5100 has an excellent battery life, packed with features, but the reason I got it was I needed a sports phone that can handle my active life and handle all the shocks and bumps that go with it! It's been on the market for a while now, but still stands ...
...phone anywhere near this one. The one major downside is the headset for hands free and the radio has an annoying connection to the phone and is very easy to disconnect, and I miss the 1.5mm insert for the 8310 very much like the walkman plugins but smaller. Still if you want a sports phone, this is the only one to even bother looking at! ...

Review of Nokia 5100

the nokia 5100 is a doozy of a phone ,in fact i would say it's the best handset i've ever had. it should be sponsered by ronseal -cos it does exactly what it says on the tin !! this phone is perfect for anyone who gets their hands dirty to earn a crust- its rubber case makes it oil and water resistant and shock proof,and when it gets scratched you can take its cover off and get a new one. it's loaded with useful functions (calculator ,converter ...
...-a torch! the biz for finding the keyhole when under the influence!!!) the most common functions are all hotkeys on the four cursor pads which makes it easy to use. it has a colour screen which is quite adequate and with the optional camera you can take reasonable photos to annoy your chums whilst on your hols. also whilst on your hols use the built in thermometer to read the temperature and then text it to your mates at home-always goes down ...

Review of Nokia 5100

...uglier by the day. But nokia have made this phone ugly to start with - and it doesn't get any scratches. I've had this phone for almost a year now, personally I think it's a great phone. It does have it's downsides, some say it's ugly, I say it looks quite good!!! The main feature of this phone is it's durability. You can throw it around, drown it etc. and it'll just bounce back. Another much underated feature is the flashlight, great for finding ...
...You'll have to buy official nokia covers, the ones from markets and other suppliers just don't fit very well, don't expect it to remain waterproof if you do. It's a well thought out piece of engineering, but I'm sure most of what makes it a great phone is contained within all nokia phones now. One can compare it to a dyson vaccum cleaner - some real little, simple but helpful inovations instead of a bunch of useless gimmicks. It's kind of half way ...

Review of Nokia 5100

I have now owned this phone for about 2 months and so far have found it to be great. I purchased my online and must admit that it was slightly large and more bulky than I had imagined when purchasing it. However, the phone is coated in rubber and is therefore very hard wearing and sturdy and yes it does bounce when dropped! I have dropped my a coupe of times and it has done absolutely no damage at all, so it's very durable and hard wearing!. I chose ...
...and quite different to a lot of Nokia's other phones. It has quite a striking look (see picture) and you can but a variety of colours for the cover including grey which is the colour that I chose and doesn't show up any marks or dirt etc. The phone comes with a lots of features including WAP and is very easy to use. If you are used to using a mobile phone you will have not problems negotiating the menu at all. It has quick access buttons to the ...

Review of Nokia 5100

I love the torch, thermometer, stopwatch and sound meter and durability of the handset - as I have a tendency to drop my mobiles on the ground or in cups of tea. Most of my handsets havent lasted me 6 months but I've had this handset for years and it's still in perfect condition. I find the keyboard buttons really hard to use when texting, playing games and finding someones phone number in a hurry. The reception is great when talking to someone ...
...the radio. I find the torch on the phone extremely handy when getting in and out of the car at night or finding things under furniture or in a power cut. Overall I would recommend this phone to people wanting a mobile for emergency use only or storage of numbers, rather than for people who like texting and playing games alot. ...

Review of Nokia 5100

I have had this phone for around 14 months now. The buttons do not appear to be as sensitive as they once were... however I may just be getting lazier. I much prefered the previous models buttons... a satifying click when you pressed a button. The colour screen is good, but not very useful as most of the applications could be used in a monocrome screen. I have not bought the camera attachment as it is not something that I would be prepared to carry ...
...would obviously be useful. The applications are not particular useful, a nice gimmick though! The noise level and calorie calculator have been used only once or twice, the accuracy of the calorie counter is doubful. Apparently after two hours of canoeing I have burned a whole day's worth of calories. The phone is incredibly tricky to turn on, the spongy on button at the top requires a long thumb nail. The radio is good, although it is only FM. No ...

...to have much use. Nokia have put a lot of time and effort into producing this phone from its predecessor, and have succeeded in building a phone that is not only practical but is also a lot of fun. Unfortunately there are a few more menus which are a little time consuming after being used to previous Nokia's. There has also been a change in the select and cancel buttons at the top of the keypad which take time to getting used to. Gameplay on the ...
