Written on: 04/06/2006 by rudeboymick (16 reviews written)

The Nokia 5210 is a great mobile phone. I've had it for 4 years, and I've dropped it, sat on it, and even accidentally dropped it out of the window of a moving car going 60, and it hasn't been damaged (except cosmetic damage to the case).

It took 4 years for anything to go wrong, and now it turns itself off on its own sometimes, but who has a phone for 4 years nowadays? (read more)

Where do I start, the Nokia 5210 is the worst phone I have had in my possession, at first when I got it, it used to be fine. But after it would repeatidly crash when I try send text messages or try going into games which is pretty much the best feature the phone has. It also crashes when trying to use wap features and turns off. Within the last week it would send battery low signals when the battery is fully charged.The phone is not damaged shell wise at all hardly droped with force yet... (read more)

Dont you think this Nokia 5210 phone is the nicest ever? I look at this phone and think to myself that this is the king of all phones first thing the ruggedness of this phone is outstanding and the coolness is off the chart. You can aquire soo many colour cases for this to suit your style and if you are clumsy dont worry1 This is the phone for you.

The only thing I would say is wrong with this phone is that it is not colour, if it was color it would be the jesus of all phones! (read more)

This is a mobile phone and it works. It doesn't go wrong, it's battery lasts for ages, you can drop it, sit on it, spill beer on it and it still works. Excellent reception and clarity. The screen doesn't blur when it's running too many colours because its just good old black and white.
I've just gone back to this phone from a polyphonic colour clam-shell which was too fiddly, too short battery life and got to be a pain in the butt once the novelty wore off. If you want to make phone calls:... (read more)

When I first got this phone it was ace! I'm a very clumsy person and the shells are awesome because after about 2 weeks of having it I'd already broken the shell screen. Simply just get a new cover right? Wrong, these are the most impossilbe original covers to get. I brought a cheap one but the cheap fact certainly came back to haunt me. As for the waterproofness, I'll be testing that when I get my new phone.

Messages storage depends on network SIM card memory and not phone memory. My network has upgraded/improved their SIM cards to 64K and can now store up to 30 messages inbox/outbox combined. Old SIM card can only store up to 12 messages.

Written on: 12/08/2003 by Ed (1 review written)

The 5210 is the first Nokia Mobile phone I've had, after always choosing Alcatel models in the past. The main reason I wanted this model is the fact that it claims to be virtually indestructable.

I find most other models I have had seem to show thair age very quickly, mainly due to general wear from being carried in a pocket with money or keys etc., but the rubber case on this model is much more robust, and in any case can be replaced if it does start to look worn.

I've had this Nokia 5210 phone for a year now and although i did wear out one of the buttons at first (far too much space impact!) which needed a replacement i've had no problems with it. I found the vibrate very strong which is useful in very loud environments, particulally as the ringing volume is not very loud.

Shockproof shells are rubbish, when I splashed a small amount of water over the phone, some water actually got inside. When you drop the phone the casing comes apart occasionally. The thermometer is always wrong. It always says 30c in a normal room temperature environment which is normally 19-20c. The battery life is horrific, I only got 1 1/2 days out of it (Constant use - I talk a lot), The reception on the phone is rubbish, (1 Bar or less). I live in an area where coverage is good and...

i think this review has not been thought of in detail. did you miss the selling point of the telephone? its not the way it looks or the way it sounds or the battery life, its the fact that if you drop it off a cliff (which i have not but i have played a game with my friends where you kick it as far as you can) it will NOT break. that is why clumsy people buy it, that is why normail peple buy it, that is why people who cant afford fone insurance buy it. this fone is great it does everything it says it does. It didnt say that it had a 3year stand by time? so why expect that. i had this fone for a long time and was relunctant to part with it for my new 6100 (which is again a great fone) because the 6100 would break.

Written on: 18/05/2003 by Tom.

This Nokia 5210 is really good. However, the vibrate function doesn't work properly any more, which is really annoying. Another point, which could be a bad one, but I find funny, is that when you go to menu>profiles>general>personalise>message alert tone> and select personal, when you go to names>caller groups>and select one you get a language menu. HA! I don't care about this though. (read more)

“A mobile newcomer's first impressions: ”

Written on: 11/03/2003 by Oswald.

A mobile newcomer's first impressions:
I like the dinky looks and feel of the blue version very much. It feels good in the hand because it has good ergonomics with the shape and quasi-rubber, and good balance of the weight unlike the 3510. I don't mind that the buttons are clicky since that is the price you pay for the robust versatility of the phone.
Compared to the 3510 though, the sound is a little tinnier or scratchy in the way those simple metallic earplugs are. You know, the really... (read more)

The nokia 5210 has a major software bug. If you go to profiles->general->personalise-> message alert tone->personal and you select a ring tone, then you 'll get a language menu when you go to names->caller groups and select one of the caller groups. Instead of group name, ... you 'll get a language menu. There are more of these software bugs, so i recommend that you don't buy this phone. (read more)

It is THE worst phone ever and is totally useless! All it does, if indeed I can ever turn it on, is turns itself off for no reason, turns itself off again when texting, turns itself off when phoning someone. I can hardly ever get it to turn on EVER!!

By far the worst phone I ever bought. It was so boring, thermometer doesn't work at all etc... I now own a panasonic gd 87 colour camera phone. And there is just no comparison. I wouldn't change it for anything. Never buy a monochrome phone these days, at least get a colour phone like the 3510i, or the 7250 soon..

Thermometer is a mean marketing trick from Nokia. It is definitely useless, I tried two 5210 phones. I regret to buy this phone. Should have bought a second hand 6310 which would be a great phone. I went for the thermometer and got backstabbed... The dealer refuses to change the phone also.

I was on my third Nokia 5210 mobile phone in 12 months. I like to have a good phone but if I buy the best, I will lose a lot of money when it inevitably breaks in the near future. So I buy mid range phones generally, 3310, 3330, 3330. These never lasted more than 4 months. I am a clumsy person and my phone gets dropped often.

For the thermometer to work correctly (like any thermometer) you would have to leave it for anything from 5 - 20 minutes in the location you want to check (unless you use a laser thermo) for it to read correctly. You can't expect it to tell you the correct temp if it's in your pocket or hand. Leave it outside for 15 mins then it will tell you a more accurate temp.

Please beware that this phone CAN send 160 characters. It can in-fact send long sms up to 490 characters in length.
The explanation for this is:
"This guy must have the language set to one which requires unicode -
it is taking 16 bits per character, which actually gives you 70
characters per SMS rather than the 60 he counted"

I've had a 5210 for about 6 months now. It has a decent range of features and in general it works fine. But I have noticed a glitch in the reception. Occasionally (about once per day)the phone appears to lose reception even though there is a good signal. The phone cannot be rang as it thinks it is out of coverage. If I make a call from the phone, however, it picks up coverage straight away. This only happens when the phone has been idle. (read more)
