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.

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....

This was the first phone I ever bought with my first ever wage packet basically because it was the next stage up from a brick. I have to say that this phone (or at least MY phone) has seriously earned it's place in the hall of fame. Not only has it always been so easy to use and I can navigate the whole phone and write and send a text message with my eyes shut, it is the most durable phone I have ever seen. When I was taking my GCSE's me and my friends relaxed by playing "toss the phone" and it wasn't even fazed by being thrown up 40 feet in the air and slammed against an oak tree. I lost the ariel countless times dropping it and having it thrown around, but it never failed to be turned back on again. Not only were you able to get lots of different coloured cases, but I amused myself by painting my own (something every high school girl goes through with their mobile phone). If it's your "first time" then definatly get this one just to help you navigate the whole phone thing before you go for a classier model, they're always up for sale second hand. R.I.P. little phone who finally passed away end of last year, may I always remember our times in the park.

My primary business is in the computer and telecommunications business and I have used and dealt with many cell phones but the nokia 5110 really stands out. For starters it is built like a tank....yet looks sleek and pleasing to the eye. I use the phone regularly and the most striking feature of this phone is its durability. I am stating for a fact that this phone is tough. I must have dropped this phone at least 30 times (DO NOT TRY WITH UR CELL). Each time my heart skipped a beat but i was really glad the phone came out with only a few scratches & scrapes (that doesn't really bother me 'cause the new cover is available for as low as $2....).
BATTERY...
The battery is really someting to write home about. Over 3 hours of talktime and over three days of standby time and the bloody thing charges in little more than 2 hours...
NETWORK...
The network is good too. I stay in India which has a fairly good quality network and i recently travelled to New Delhi (about 1000 miles on train) and the reception did not let me down - automatically switching networks and always providing good quality voice.....
MENU.....
The menu is really straightforward. What can i say except that my 8yr old brother can also operate it.......
DRAWBACK.....
Well i really hate this part. If there are any, i would say that Nokia should have included space for personal ring tones and space for nos in the phone memory....
CONCLUSION......
Easily one of the most durable phones ever made. I love it.
RATING...
10/10

The Nokia 5110 mobile phone was, for many people, their first "proper" digital mobile phone.
I got mine after SIX previous different models of phone that never lasted more than two
months, and although old even when I got it; I had very few complaints with it.
You still see thousands around, which must be testament to their longevity.
I replaced mine only when the screen started going blank. (Solved with masking tape around the headpiece).

Good old faithful phone thats built to last. No particular frills or spills. Has very functional easy to use interface.

As a mid price/range phone it is superior to most of the other similar priced phones. Menu functions are simple to use, choice of ringtones is good, and although not as small as the 3210 it is fairly compact and easy to carry. Changable faceplates and logo's make it a fun phone too, and faceplates are many and varied.
