Nokia 5110

I bought my first 5110 a year ago, I now have 11 of them. just in case they dissapear altogether I want enough to last me for life.

If you have some extra money to waste out, or if you are a die hard Nokia fan intending collection of all nokia phones, even then, do not go for this one,

If you have a Nokia 5110 mobile phone - keep it; if you don't, buy one for the collection!

The Nokia 5110 is basically brilliant apart from you couldn't get it on pay as you go so I got it on Orange contract. Just quick games, brilliant and has snake 2. The only bad thing is it has no composer.

The Nokia 5110 has been around since the dark ages and still works in 2005 and I have given it to my grandma and she has had it a year and she loves it. I love it, it even has games that were new back then and it sends texts, ace.

I was bought a Nokia 5110 at Christmas 1998, after struggling with a naff Motorola and am still using it five and a half years on! Still using the original battery, this phone has never needed any repairs despite it being frequently dropped, thrown and chewed by my toddler son! The charger decided to pack in a couple of months ago and I have had difficulty trying to find a compatible replacement (currently have to share one).

I feel that it is time to upgrade to a 3510i (I would prefer to stick with Nokia) but am worried this will not be as reliable as my beloved 5110! Might just stick with it until it eventually gives up the ghost. I like the 5110 for its simplicity, although it has features that I have never needed to use.

I am very impressed with this phone. It may not be a fancy fashion-victim's gadget that does just about everything, but it has certainly done its job!

I really don't understand why so many people waste half a month's wage worth of money in these new super mobile phones. Ok, so the Nokia 5110 won't take pictures, record short movie clips, record sounds, serve as a remote controller for your tv set, and bring you coffee.

So what? It's as tough and durable as they come, I've had this mobile phone for four years now. Four years. Most things I own never last me more than two years at best. It's seen the skies of six different countries, fallen from countless pockets onto countless different floors (even under a train! Ok, so the train wasn't moving, but there you go), and look at it, it's still there doing its job impeccably. Allows me to make and receive calls, send and receive text messages, play games, it's got a built in calculator, an ever so useful alarm clock, what more could I want from a mobile phone?

The day I'll wish to have a portable communication and multimedia editing station to carry around with me at all times, I'll buy a laptop. Until that day, my good ol' Nokia 5110 will remain my most reliable and trusted travel companion.

Having owned 2 of these Nokia 5110 mobile phones, i found that the only major problem i had with them was the screen. The other problem i had which forced me to get a new one was the common fault (or so i believe) of the contact service message. I have since replaced it with a 3410 purely to keep up with the times as it is a bit old now. However it is still a good entry level phone and takes some hard knocks.

The Nokia 5110 is probably the most reliable phone i've ever had, its basicly indestructable and it does everything you need it to. Its a little big by todays standards but it still looks good.

I found this phone a classic one from Nokia. I purchased my Nokia 5110 in 1998 but never been repaired eversince except changed the backlights. Well, of course battery don't lasts forever so I changed a new one every year to keep it running. My back-up phone in case my new generation Nokia phone goes kaput. Nowadays Nokia phones are not good or as reliable and durable as the 5110s. The 5110 should have been made as a model to copy to build new generation phones for Nokia..but they made another story. SO SAD....
