I was clearing out my room the other night and I came across this mobile phone. It was my mums mobile a few years ago. My old Sony was freezing on me and really was getting unusable. So i popped my sim card in this phone and I dont think ill take it back out for a while. Excellent phone. Its not the most feature packed mobile phone out there, the camera is poor, it has practically no memory what so ever, no bluetooth either, in fact polyphonic ringtones are about the best it has to offer. It has a great keypad which is very easy for texting, and it looks cool as hell. You really wont care about its lack of features, its solid build quality and great keys make up for it. Pick one up off ebay for around £10 and you will be pleased!

I still have this phone and I don`t care that it is a older phone for oldies because of the big buttons. It is not that heavy and is adequate for my needs, I don`t need lots of bonus features and I have photos of famous peeps on mine as well as recording live music so I am happy with this phone. Anyone else have this phone still? I resisted parting with it when I extended my contract cos I would miss it oh so much.

Good and robust. The outside front screen will damage if it comes under pressure. It causes a bleeding of ink over the mini screen. I've had mine for a couple of years without problems but it is looking a bit dated now. Maybe time for a change but can I find another clam shell as nice to use?

This was my first camera/colour (all singing all dancing phone) so I guess you don't really question the features if you have not had a similar phone before to compare. I realise now that the memory is rather small and the photo quality not as good as others BUT all in all I've been really happy with the 6170. When it arrived (Id chosen it on a friends recommendation from seeing its 'photo' online) I was rather disapointed by its 'masculine' look, and initially I couldn't get to grips with the keys (although large and clear), cos I'd been used to smaller keys. However like all things, I grew to love it and was very happy with all the features. I'm now about to upgrade to a phone with bluetooth, bigger memory and a 1.3pix camera (The 6170 doesn't have bluetooth but as I didn't know what the implications of bluetooth were I didn't miss it!!!) Beware, the spring in the flip top cover broke so although the cover 'works' it doesn't have that 'springy flip top' feel anymore!!!! I g uess I'll miss my phone-they become quite like friends sharing all aspects of your life. Just hope my new choice proves as successful??!!

im just about to swap this phone and to be honest i dont think ill miss it. yeh it has been a good phone but need to upgrade to one with bluetooth, im like the only person i know who doesnt have it!! something that i have found common amoungst the reviews for this phone is that the memory is complete and utter pants,....well its true. you take like 4 photos and u get warnings sayin that your memory is full. what is that all about?in all it has been a good phone, but now it loks like its goin to die. the metal on the outside is scrathed in everyplace possible, the screen has scratchs, the camera does not work, well it does, but you cant see through it because ther is dust there.have no idea how it got in there.but id say this phone is perfect for mums n dads who dont really do much with there phones, not for the teenagers of 2day!!!

Love Nokia Couldn't ask for a more reliable brand of phones. Easy to put in your own ringtones from MP3 to Midi. So what if it doesnt offer Bluetooth, its only a headset people get over it. Has push to talk capabilities. And video and picture, they are desent quality when you keep in mind we are talking about a phone not a Camcorder or an expensive 35mm camera. When pics are downloaded to print them in your home PC you see the true quality of photos. Pretty Good for a phone Camera. Plus these are features that come in handy on your phone when you have an emergency like an accident to record your damage claim or need a quick reminder photo of something. And simply for fun to play around with. (Come on people we are Adults) How often do you really need a video recorder or camera daily? And it does NOT suffer from white screens or glitches as Motorola suffers from.... Have had Moto V600 V620 V635 V220 and Razor, all suffer from ringer vibration that wont shut off, ringtones that wont quit after you preview them, white screens when you open them, and ringtones that wont play on Motorola, when they DO play on Nokia. I must say this Nokia 6170 is awesome. Well worth the price paid, ringtones are so easy to install from internet or homemade from wav files transformed into MP3's. The navigation is easy, texting is made simple with T9 Nice loud ringtones and strong vibration alert. Great reception and easy to hear the caller on the other end even in a loud pub. Loved it so much bought the Nokia 7270 as a second phone for my daughter who currently is using a Motorola V620 that is only 2 months old and already is starting to suffer from the known glitches and bugs as all other Motorolas that we have delt with prior. Hope this helps y'all out there who are considering this phone, if you are a die hard Nokia fan you will LOVE the Nokia 6170 or the Nokia 7270 either one. Yo will NOT regret your purchase of either of these phones. Submitted by Talknshell@yahoo.com Email me if you would like any other questions answered before you buy this phone. u

I bought this mobile from the Carphone Warehouse, because I wanted a flip but have always used Nokia. The sales guy recommended this one, and I'm pleased with the choice. The 6170 has cool retro styling, and is a good phone, but is missing bluetooth and is quite heavy really.
