Nokia 5100 Mobile Phone Review

Nokia 5100 Details

DRS The recessed send and end buttons are difficult to operate. Texting is laborious due to the stiff keys. A lot of effort is required to power on/off. The side volume buttons are also stiff. Connecting to the pop port is a slow process requiring care. Overall, your fingers get very weary when using this phone. The screen regularly flickers. I know of two persons whose outer screens cracked. When the phone lights are off, the screen is impossible to read.

Enrique C Wow!! These fones cant break!!! I've had mine 4 almost 3 years now... It has fallen a gazillion times, been thrown across a room into a wall more than 3 times, been in a pool, and now the power switch has broken off, so it has to be switched on with a screwdriver, but it just wont die. Really is a pity there isn't really a replacement (except 4 the 5140 which i don't like). The fones look was just so different when it came out.

Amogh Can i upgrade the Version of my phone, when pressing *#0000# it shows v 3.05 NPM-6 (c) NMP, can i change and make my phone's software faster to operate

Ron Hyatt Good luck with the poor 720 mAh battery,the average reception ,the low quality/high volume call quality,the VERY poor 4 chord polyphonic tones and the amazing freeze that happens with using GPRS!!!.
No more Nokias,i`ve had enough:)

emu this is known as the "builders" phone. its suitable for working on building sites etc, very durable..like most nokias though. keypads do "die" quite quickly though...only lasted a few months before having to replace the keypad.

dirk very good phone and good battery and fun to have thanks nokia this is it!!!!!!!

<unknown> This phone is simply bullet proof!!I have got it wet while diving and dusty and oily while at work and thrown it across a room in anger yet it just keeps going. It is a shame Nokia cannot come up with a suitable replacement. Perhaps they do not want thier phones to last so long in order to boost sales?

Predeleanu Daniel The phone broke from 2 meters and also the signal was off.I repaired it but I don't know if it will work and for how long.

Pall I am using it ( very hard ) for over one year. And I really use it up to edge. My opinion: Reliable ( it hit floor and walls many times, got wett in rain, high and low temperaturs, steping and siting on it etc...), good screen ( when lit ), sound not bad, accesories works ( lamp used many times, thermo and radio often, sound rarely-but phone use it for automatic volume control, calorymeter never...Many application downloaded and used ( most working), GPRS enormly used, PC conected-no problems. IR ( on right-down side ) have difficulties with PC, with other phones no problems. Battery lastin sattisfactory ( regarding usage ). Keys not that pleasent but not bad ether-no treble with on/off key ( I am using it only to swith profiles - phone is allways on ). Reception good ( not sttunting but good ).And offcourse... phone can be used to talk...quality accetible.
Overall...I am VERY satisfied ( who likes it -love it, who doesn't -cant stand it )

<unknown> Yeah this guy I know through his up in the air and hit it with his skateboard! It still works fine!
