> In reply to Donna @ 2008-04-08 15:29 from q}kqDid anyone figure out how to keep the screen from going dark and jumping to screensaver in about 5 seconds? Of course, I'm never quite sure if the screensaver has activated or the phone has just randomly shut down once again. Try being on hold for ten minutes and then as soon as you get to speak with some customer service agent your phone just randomly shuts off, so you have the pleasure of repeating the whole thing over again! I loved my old Nokias, this one sucks.

I agree with most of the post. I say most because I have not read them all. The phone is constantly turning itself off in the middle of a conversation and even when just sitting idel on the desk/table, Speaker is speakerless, vibration is barely felt. I do love the style/design but the performance is lacking. Nokia should provide a replacement phone for all owners of this model - Free since it is not our fault the phone lacks performance.

I have to echo previous complaints. My phone turns itself of for no good reason several times a day. It's miserable.

this phone stinks...always turns off when i'm talking to someone, or for no reason at all. It even shuts down when I try to turn it back on!!! ATT needs to replace everybodys 6555 with a phone that works, or someone is gonna find themselves in front of a judge. Final word...LEMON!

It's rather cheaply made (not very sturdy), but the big problem with this phone is it's tendency to turn off. My mother has the same model and we both have had this problem since the start: The phone will turn off for no apparent reason, which is irritating in the middle of a conversation to say the least. Sometimes it happens when you push any button, sometimes when a call comes in, or other times when there is no status change at all. NOT a good phone.

The PTT is always getting pushed. Nuisance.
The volume is always getting pushed. Pain.
Fits in the small pocket of 5 pocket jeans. Great. Vibration so weak I often cannot feel it in my pocket. Speakerphone not so hot. Bluetooth transfer works well with pictures I've taken. Buttons rather tiny for older hands, but I still manage to text. Had phone 1 1/2 yr. Won't work. Was hot, not sure if battery fried or what. Turns on but can't push anything but numbers. Shuts self off immediately. Looking for a new phone and my 2 yrs not up.

Nokia told 14 days standby. Reality is so different. I buy a new phone from FIDO, I used it one hour per day, about 10 to 15 calls in total and battery dies in just two days. It is so bad, because I buy this nokia phone for the battery. Nokia lies about the battery life to sell this model. The phone is PLASTIC not metal made.
If you are looking for battery life, don't choose this phone.
I like nokia, but lately they advertise this batery life just to catch more customers.
In the same situation is the 6301 model.
I'm dissapointed about this.

i really like nokia cell phones, but this is the biggest piece of junk i have ever bought. this is the second one.turns off all the time,the screen goes nuts,starts dialing a bunch of numbers at the same time, the camera turns on by itself. sometimes i think that the phone is possed.pulled out the old nokia out of the drawer and have decided not to send back possesed phone and save myself another head ache.save yourself minutes and hours of waiting in line to report,explain and wait for reply to finaly get charged a deductible and recieve another lemon.thnk you and god bless you.

My Nokia 6555 calls one of my speed dial numbers for no reasons. I'll be driving in the car, with it holstered on my belt, and it will call home, for instance. Any idea how to make it stop doing this?

> In reply to harry @ 2008-08-25 21:18 from m5h0On my 6131 which I imagine would have similar menus - in Time and Date settings the option is there to disable the "auto update time/date". With this feature set to off then it is possible to manually adjust the time. When it is on it is not possible to adjust time. I am considering a 6555 so apologies if the menus are different.

Hi there, Can anyone tell whether the square up/down/side to side button on the keypad is metal or plastic? Thanks.

Nokia, why don't you display MDN number on the phone instead of time like 6550 T-mobile. I liked this phone, but I need MDN display instead of time display. If somebodies phone rings, if I don't want to pick up, then I can simply ignore it. But, 6550 is not available in India.

Worst Nokia I have ever owned! I bought this phone May 08, & have had it exchanged 5 times. Same problems with each replacement. It Turns off all the time, even when battery fully charged. Sound is low, speaker is easily damaged. Now that I have some extra money I'm looking to buy a new phone.
