Nokia 5100 review from Republic of Ireland
"Average"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
Phone is not water resistant as it claims to be!
Buttons seized as a result, so I dismantled it and cleaned out the corrosion.
General comments?
Buttons could be easier to use, as a result it takes an ice age to send a message.
Battery terrible when making calls, seems to last for a long time on full bars, but once it starts to go down from full, it goes down to empty within the day.
Speed of the software is good, nearly as fast as the 5110. Certainly much faster than 6210.
Indestructible against anything other than liquid assault, throw it against a wall and it will laugh at you!
