NOKIA 7610 SuperNova The worst

I was so happy with NOKIA! convinced there was no other cellphone brand better! until I opted to swith to one with all the cool modern gadgets of these days, camera, radio, 1 GB of memory and so on.....But after no more than six months of use....it just starting dying, the battery does not hold morethan a dar, it freezes out of nothing, text messages do not go out, it's the worst I ill never stop regreting paying so much moneyo for such a horrible phone!

Poor Quality Nokia 6500 cellphone

I purchased a Nokia 6500 Slide cellphone & a few days after the 1 year warranttee expired the keypad did not function. When I had it repaired in their service center, they came back to me & told me that the motherboard was damaged. I could not understand why a simple keypad could damage a motherboard. It seems that Nokia quality is not as it used to be.

Nokia phones are cool with me

So far all of my celly's have been Nokias because of their simplicity and durability. Most of the devices that come with Nokia's at one time were interchangable. Really cost saving. I am not one who drops her phone but when I did drop my Nokia, it didn't stop working nor did it break up. So yes, I love my Nokia. Looking for better things to come. CHANGE IS GOOD!!!

Had a Nokia - Switched to Motorola

I had a Nokia for three years and was the happiest little camper ever when the battery finally died and I could buy a new phone. My husband paid over $100 for a pre-paid Nokia and we had nothing but problems with it from day one. I now use a pre-paid Motorola (actually - two now) from Net10 and have never been happier.

Where do I buy an old nokia phone

I have had a nokia phone for about 8 years which is simple to use. no bother finding names for the phone numbers or sending texts. I dropped mine over the bannister and it opened, since then I have had loads of trouble with it. I can not get away with the new phones, plus I havn't got the time. Anyone know where to get one they look like the police phones on The Bill. Ta very much

Why I like Nokia phones

Nokia phones are one of the strongest phones in my country. The service is steady. When service from other phones fluctuate, Nokia phones hardly disappoint even in all weather conditions. And my Nokia phone is so sharp.

Bitter Experience !

I am using N-76 Nokia balck one. Foor first few months it's ok...battery holds charge for long hour, sound quality is fine, display is nice...but in one year, not passing my warranty period, it's still-button cover fell from its last row-- not one; it is three! battery couldn't holds its charge for whole day when you didn't even use it more than half an hour at all! and my display was also gone in 6th months! answering button and all the operating button except the red one became deaf and paralysed! Could you imagine? I am Bangladeshi, live is Bangladesh. Here, in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, it cost 30,000 tk. Ibought it and disturbance get its way to disturb us! My experience is not full yet! My mom and my younger sister also bought Nokia 68...(I forgot their model number) but in 1 year their both phone did problems. my mom's mobile lost its mother board and display while my sister's mobile's problem is it can't hold charge! Disgusting! Completely disgusting!!

Nokia phone review

I used to be a faithfull Nokia mobile phone user and have recently changed to Samsung having the fabulous Samsung Omnia handset. It is modern,fast, and also quite easy to use once you get to know the Windows Mobile operating system. You do not really need something more in a phone as this little gadget have anything you would ever need in a mobile phone. For me it is truly a remarkable piece of equipment for someone proffesional on the move like me as it functions like a compact mobile computer away from home or the office for me. The only irritation is the short life of the battery and small graphics on the touch screen display which requires the usage of the pen supplied with the handset which is not totally finger touch friendly. Apart from that it is quite an amazing little tool to have.

I really like my Nokia

I have had Nokias, Samsungs and something else along the way. I prefer Nokia's. I don't want my phone to do ten million things, just be a phone and take an occasional picture for me. I love the simplicity of the phones, I love not having to be up to the minute with all the new technology and I like that I can get the phone, charge it and start using it. I have dropped my phone umpteen times and it is still working like the day I got it. I don't find that my phone isn't flashy enough. It is a phone for goodness sakes. Anyway I really like my Nokia and will continue to buy them each time I upgrade. For service and functionality they have always worked the best for me.

I'm an old lady and new gadgets boggle my mind. I have a Nokia I've been using for 13 yrs. Keep it in the car for emergency's only. Good reception almost everywhere, I get a 25 cent card from a well known provider and as long as I make one call a month, the minutes turn over. I like my little antique cell phone, thanks,

Nokia's the best for me...

Nokia mobiles are the easiest to learn how to use... upgrading from model to model, no worries! a mobile's a mobile! Nokia has kept the mobile phone features a priority in their design and newer mobiles... The units are so durable... I started using the Nokia brand since 1997 and have only gone thru 4 models till now! I've been using my current 6680 for 5 years now! Last year, I almost switched to another brand but since Nokia is now "I-synchable" to a Mac, I'm staying with Nokia!!!

I LOVE MY NOKIA

I have been a Nokia user for over 10 years. I love technology, but I hate having to learn a new phone everytime I upgrade. I always look for the coolest technology and the most functional phones. Nokia's are the Mac of the phone world, they have the same intuitive menus and the same functionality from phone to phone (for the most part). I go our of my way to get a Nokia. It saddens me that my Carrier only offers the plainest Nokia, forcing me to go online to buy mine. I will be a nokia user forever!!
