"Nokia 6170 Rocks"
Pros: Stylish, sleek, innovative design.
Cons: There are no cons in my opinion.
Summary: I have the Nokia 6170 tri-mode 900/1800/1900 MHz phone. I bought it unlocked, and I must say, I am very pleased with it. Ive had it for 2 weeks now and have no complaints.
First of all, the phone is just beautiful. It truly is a work of art. The pictures dont do this phone justice. The ring tones are loud, not annoying, and dont sound artificial. The keyboard is very easy to use. Sending a text message is a breeze. The keyboard lights up in the most beautiful shade of blue, and is quite impressive when youre dialing in the dark.
The reception is excellent! I live in NYC and have T-mobile and I always get a signal, and clear reception. Friends say I sound loud and clear. <FYI: If you buy this phone unlocked and you have T-mobile, go to the nokia.co.uk website and fill out a form to be sent the settings for T-mobile USA. The settings are sent via Text message.
I dont really have anything negative to say about the Nokia 6170. In most reviews Ive read people complain about the phone being heavy. I think those complaints are gross exaggerations. Sure, the phone is heavy in comparison to the small plastic phones out there; however, its actually nice to have a phone with some weight to it. I dont feel like itll fall out of my hand, as I have felt with other phones Ive used.
Im not a fan of camera phones. Im afraid Im a bit old school. A phone should be a phone. If you want to take pictures buy a camera. That said, I dont use the camera, so I have no complaints about memory issues. If, however, youre a person who takes lots of pictures with your phone, and want to store ring tones, you might want to consider another phone because of the low memory issue.
If you want a phone that is unique, stylish, well designed, and user friendly, buy this phone; you will not be disappointed. My first phone back in 1997 was a Nokia. I stopped using Nokia phones because they didnt have any flip phones. Now that they do, you can rest assured, I will stick with Nokia. Nokia should be commended for there innovative and stylish design.
