Nokia 2128i

If you are looking for a good, small and practical phone the Nokia 2128i is great! I love it! The phone size is perfect for slipping in your pocket. The call quality is really clear and crisp and the reception is excellent. I always choose Nokia phones because they get the best reception. I always seem to have reception even when my friends don't. I love it! I would recommend this phone. It doesn't have all the frills of ring tones and camera's, etc but I didn't want that stuff anyway. Great phone.

If you want a basic phone with excellent audio quality and without all the other media crap that comes with so many others, this is the phone for you. I've had many other expensive, loaded up with stuff phones in the past and just realized that I really just need a good phone that I can actually hear clearly on and is easy to use and has great battery life. I like the Nokia 2128i cell phone because it's actually just a phone and the little flashlight thing is quite convenient and practical too.

For all of you who say that you cannot download ringtones, you are wrong! if you are with Verizon, just go to the website and you can select a ring tone to be text-messaged to your phone! I'm sure other carriers have this option as well. (notice it's called a "text-messaging phone" on the box...you can text message plenty of stuff to it!) you can also receive pictures from other people's camera phones in a text message, and the 2128i will be able to display and store it. you can also put these pictures on your background. another thing about this phone is that there are a lot of shortcuts and cool features, but you have to have the time and patience to read through the manual to figure them out. for example, you can switch profiles by pressing the on/off button and scrolling through the different ones! the only things that bother me about this phone is that there are only up/down arrows, not right/left, and the headset needs an adapter to plug into it. but overall, its a great phone!

I love the Nokia 2128i cell phone! It clearly says on the box, online and at all Verizon stores that this phone does not have get it now, so if you expected to get ringtones off of the phone, that was not so smart. Also you can still download ringtones online. I have 5 or 6 on mine! You can personalize it with a background and it has never dropped a single one of my calls! If you want a simple, easy to use phone this one is perfect!

If you want a phone with frills and stand-out features, this is not the phone for you. If you want to make and receive calls with basic customization, the Nokia 2128i is a great phone. I have had this phone for a few months and it is my first Nokia. So far it has been great. I got it because I didn't want a flip phone as I tend to break them. You could run the Nokia 2128i over with a car driven by a hippo that just consumed 2 1/2 tons of sushi and it would not break. And I think it is a cool looking little sucker. Pros: -Small, No antenna -Good basic rings -Flashlight (I actually use it often) -Customizable "profiles" so one touch can tun it silent for text and 1 beep for calls, or loudest volume and a different ring...etc. -Great battery life, if you actually charge it properly which most people who complain about battery life do not -Changeable faceplate if it scratches -Call volume can go really high -Good sound quality and speaker phone Cons: -No one-touch to change volume -Can't download anything, but that's no biggie unless you are 14 -Have to lock keys so it doesn't make calls in your pocket and it gets annoying when you set to automatically lock -Sometimes have to maneuver to hear a call better because of where mic is, but still good quality sound.
