 The Nokia 5165 is an old design phone that one can clearly make out from the external antenna. Supported networks are AMPS 800 / TDMA 800 / TDMA 1900. Forget latest features, even standard functions such as Calculator, Calendar are absent. Present however is the alarm function, thrown in as a afterthought probably to keep the customer happy. There is not even a vibrating mode which is not standard but almost compulsory in this year and age. Most cellular service providers offer this phone free with the service nowadays. The battery used is Ni-Mh , a fact which shows literally by the weight. The phone weighs a heavy 170 gms. This heavy weight battery fortunately has a good life too a talk time of approximately 3 hours with a standby of 192 hours. Now there are phones released even today which have such weights but they have good cause for it. They have functions & features which make carrying around their bulks not a problem at all. Navigation is by means of the two way navigation keys. The menu is simple to navigate and easy to understand. Not that there are a lot of features to try to understand. Phone book capacity is 100 contacts, and don't even think of options such as multiple number per contact or address option for each contact.
