Mine's dead now, damn shame. Can't find anything so tough and so cheap anymore. There's a gap in the market for a "bombproof phone - less than fifty quid" which nobody seems willing to fill.

Nokia 5210 is one of my favourite's. Impresively small for that time when it was popular. It's designed very well but the plastic cover always looked unnatural, quite easy to replace it compare with another Nokia older phones. Quit durable and water protected, class 5 for old granny, I loved this phone !

It makes phone calls, doesn't take pictures or play music, it doesn't store many texts, you can't check emails on it and it isn't shiny. It's a phone for people who have a life and just need a means of phoning or texting others.

I had onbe of these phones for years. I lost it eventually, and stupidly was persuaded to get an 'all singing all dancing', which could probably run Bolivia. Having had the new one for a year I hanker after this phones relative simplicity. It doesn't ask me twenty questions every time I want to call my friends. It IS robust, which what I need. That's why I am buying a secondhand one as all the high street shops seem to have discontinued this classic.

I love this phone. I've had it for years. I can throw it at a wall everyday and it still works! It has been soaked in the back of my cycle jacket many times and it still works! It still makes and receives calls! No silly MP3 player, radio or camera to gowrong. It just makes calls (oh and has a great calendar facility) If I could give it 1000 stars I would. Did I say how much I love this phone, I really do!

If you want a phone to pose with,dont look here.On the otherhand, if you work in a harsh enviroment, this phone can take the knocks.I have dropped mine many times (even in water)and it still works.Screen is cracked,heavily scuffed,but so what, its just a phone at the end of the day. Never seen the point of a camera phone, just a sales gimmick that seems to have passed.Why buy it in the first place if you want a camera,colour screen,games,etc??? get a life...

We hav... had one of these phones, and we have tested it. Before the end it went through direct contact with a jet wash hose, 2 drops from the top level of a multi storey car park, been run over 4 times, countless throws, dropped in a glass of water, and set alight (for 5 mins) and still turned on and made calls. Now is this normal behaviour for a phone? I don't think so. If we didnt leave the fire going for a full 15 mins I think it would have lasted to tell the tale. Yes, we did destroy it. But after a LOT of work...5/5. It stood up for itself before it died.

It's very good at what it does, it's a basic phone designed to withstand a certain lifestyle. I've had mine without repair or damage since 2003, and since then it has been on various expeditions, in mountains in -10C blizzards, it's been dropped twice in a river (we had to take the battery out ASAP and dry it over a fire, but it worked again after that), it's been up to about 48C under the sun too, with no ill effect. It is basic though, no picture messaging, no camera and not much space for messages. But that's not what it's for - it's to survive being dropped off a cliff, into a river and surviving sustained time in extreme temperatures. I needed the phone initially as an emergency contact device, so 999 was basically all I needed - but it works for what I need in daily life too. So overall, I've very pleased indeed. Very pleased indeed.

It's a phone, have heard some people really slagging it off, 'cos it's not upto date with modern phones, well the true test of good design is how
well it does it's job & how long it does it's job for! I have owned mine for years, dropped it, thrown it, abused it and it still works perfectly.If you want a rugged phone, not a fragile piece of new technology that will stop working 2 seconds after your warranty expires, buy this phone, it does what it says on the tin!

Admittedly , I did have this phone quite a while ago... However, this phone is the most robust, reliable phone you can get.(if you can still get it). If you don't want all the new features but want a robust phone, this is highly reccomended. A good all-rounder for talking and texting that won't break if you drop it on the floor...or if it ends up in the washing machine for that matter!

This phone did me no harm, it doesnt process too fast but throw it in the dust or take it out in the rain, nd have no worries. Phone book is absolutely massive. Small and light but be advised keypad is very small and tight, battery life is good and after trying the O2-X1 i jus gave up and went bk to this phone id already had for a while. Its always been reliable for me and i sold it off to a friend who still has it and uses it to this day.

Very Poor! I got it a year ago, It died completely after one month; and since then I\'ve had 2 new softwares. Nokia are appauling when I try contacting them about it, the website is rubbish; and the software they distribute for the phone is diabolical! This is the worst phone I\'ve ever had. I only bought it because the Link said it was good... mind you it shows how much they know when they told me it stored 150 SMS when it doesn\'t store any except on the SIM. Looking for a new phone now!

The 5210 is a good phone. Handy, rugged-looking (I have the blue cover). A problem I keep encountering is that the menu gets mixed up more than once. Say I open a message in my Inbox, read it and once I press the Options, instead of getting the options Reply, Edit, Forward (etc), I get the menu to select the language (e.g. Automatic, English, etc.) Can anybody tell me what's wrong here? I'd really appreciate if you can write me at gozudarstvennoye@yahoo.com. Thanks a lot.
