Nokia 6170 - user opinions and reviews

Nokia

I am using this fantastic phone and I think Nokia should use the battery and component development of this model on other models also. Its so strong and can withstand any kind of situation. I love this phone....

I still have mine from almost 3 years ago and I think it's a lovely phone although it is now beginning to show its age. This phone has survived almost 3 years of HARD knocks and still works like an absolute charm. I want to upgrade to a N82 or N96 but we'll see. In my opinion, nothing beats a Nokia.

A nice phone though very heavy to carry around.
I've been with one for almost three years but its now worn out. Very expensive to change the housing despite it being kind of plastic.Well, i don't regret having it. It looks cool and expensive which technically is of poor quality.

The best 'phone there just about.
Really excellent excellent telephone.
Nokia - check. Steely finish - check. Flip (active) cell - check. Big buttons - check. Big easy-read screen - check, & standard 'Low' ringing tone - check.
This portable phone is the best. Brilliant, had it 3 or 4 years. Cannot recommend it enough. Sturdy and inexpensive. Natural to use.
If you want a camera, buy one. If you want a radio, go & buy one, if you want a music player...
Nokia 6170 - brilliant unit. After a loooong time the speaker can go (where the person can hear you but you can't hear them), but they are a pound or 2 on eBay.
Dial *#06# for the IMEI number, & *#0000# for the software version, as it is with any Nokia. Imagine this company started out making rubber wellington boots and car tyres, & now produce the best battery phones.

I have it for 3 years now and I must say it's a GOOD phone even though I was angry with its lack of memory at first and I NOW have problems with the fact that sometimes I can't hear anything- but that's all, no other problems what so ever.

After a year of using that phone here are my opinions:
- love the design, phone is beautifull
- just broke, I hear no voice, except when on speakerphone,
- "steel" design is only cheap paint that wears off easily
- 2MB is useless
- scraches easily
- basically I would have never buy it if I knew

It's a beautiful phone but bad things happen to it ... I have one so here are the problems :
1. The case is made o plastic, covered with some kind of steel . The plastic part breaks very easy is u drop it on something solid .
2. The designers were drunk when they made it . So, you have mp3 and aac player on 2.2 MB of memory with no card .
3. Your buttons will remain printed on the screen after a while .
4. The outer control buttons get messed up pretty quick . Volume doesn't work anymore for me .
5. For some reason de gray shiny part around the main screen gets ripped and looks bad .
If you just want to talk and look cool, buy it, if you have bigger plans leave this one .

Yes I don't know why NOKIA didn't keep the design and just update camera etc,
still much better looking than most phones. Well VW did it with the Beetle. Also reliable and cute

Still one of the best looking phones, better many current offerings.
Nokia update with slimmer titanium instead of plastic parts updated camera software etc.

I love this phone, but it's definitely time to replace it now. I've been an active contributer to this thread for years.

One of the big things is that I want to keep some of the ring tones for use w/ the N76 that I plan to get to replace this phone.

Does anyone know how to get ringtones off this phone? like "Nocturnal" for example? It has a copy right protection.

simple and sophisticated phone. iv been using this phone for a couple of years, i was very amazed coz i dropped this phone LOTS of times, it still works. though it doesn't have great features compare to any other phones, i still want to keep it coz its user friendly. i use it only to make phone calls and send messages.
