Wireless/Mobile Phone/Cell Phone

Rated 4.0 out of 5

With a vibrant, full-color screen, support for SMS text messaging, a speakerphone and voice-activated dialing, the 6016i is an affordable, entry-level phone with top-level features. It's a great companion for Sprint PCS users who want simple PCS voice functionality.

Design
The 6016i follows the tried and true Nokia candybar style with an extendable antenna mated to a dedicated internal antenna. The phone includes a 2.5mm headset jack, a USB data port, and a standard Nokia charging connector. The 96 x 65 color display boasts 4096 colors. Detachable faceplates are available for the front and rear of the handset so you can dress up your phone to suit your mood.

Calling Features
The 6016i's built-in address book can store up to 250 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers. Choose from 30 built-in ringers, including MIDI ring tones with up to 16-chord polyphonic sound, as well as a vibrating alert. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. You can also speak up to 25 numbers with the sound of your voice. The 6016i's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911. Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the 6016i is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Sprint's digital PCS network, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
If you need basic messaging capabilities, the 6016i has you covered as support is built-in for sending and receiving SMS text messages (Sprint PCS text messaging charges apply). T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built-into the unit-- a plus for text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 6016i including a calendar, a calculator, a voice recorder with 30 seconds of recording memory, an alarm clock, and a to-do list. The 6016i lets you carry these tools wherever you go so you can create appointments and view your schedule at a moment's notice.

Entertainment
The 6016i is Java enabled, meaning it supports games written on the Java platform. Turn downtime into fun time when you play one of three built-in Java games-- Air Glide, Bowling, or Sky Diver-- right on your phone's display. The phone also features customizable colors and screen backgrounds so you can make your phone reflect your personality.

Nokia Phone	Rating: 3
I've got this cell phone. It's a very simple entry level phone and that's all it is, when my contract is up with Spinrt I'm upgrading to the Razor.

The Phones Good but Sprints Plans are not

Rating: 3

I got this phone in my name for my mother not too long ago as a gift for being good to me as I'm 18 years old and have no father, so she raised me and my brother as a single mom, never been married. anyway, the phone is awesome, I have a phone thats almost exactly like it through Cellular South, ok, but the phones good, no problems with it because I've used it myself when my other phone was cut off, it's a good phone, just spray windex on a piece of clothe to clean the screen of it, try not to drop it because it does mess the keys up, but they're replaceable and cheap, and the front of the face plate can also be replaced if damaged. ok, the phones good, now on to the plans, sprints plans aren't very good, my mom was doing business with a family in Texas (we're in Mississippi) and they ran her bill up and ate up all of her minutes, she gets 450 mintues for $50, and when her bill arrived they charged her $200 long distance fees which is a complete and total rip-off, she had to down-grade her plan to $35 a month with only 350 minutes. if I had my choice I wouldn't have gotten this phone in the first place if I would have known all of these. cellular south will always be the best in my book, they may not have any fancy phones hardly or Cool Ringtones or anything like that, but their plans rock, I'm gonna warn you ahead of time though, their unlimited long-distance doesn't cover Louisiana and I don't know if Cellular South is available in any other state or not, but email them at their website www.cellularsouth.com and check, they require a huge deposit of $500 plus the phone fees and activation fees, but they're totally worth it, my phone didn't cost me very much when I got the 2-year contract plan, and they sell roaming minutes, they have great plans, so call and check them out, they have the internet too which you can buy minutes for for ringtones or whatever, lol, alright I've blabbed enough, just check them out, they're good to me as for as phone and plan-wise, they have unlimited text messaging for $7 a month too, thats a good deal, voicemails optional but it's only $5 a month. if anybodys got any other questions about Cellular South you're welcome to email me at mysterygrl2006@yahoo.com thanks for taking the time out to read such a long review, bye.

Great candy bar phone	Rating: 4
A great candybar phone. Everything is pretty easy and intuitive. I get great reception. The small and fairly cramped buttons take some getting used to, but they actually work well. My previous phone didn't have the quick on/off/options button on the top like this one--a useful addition. The speakerphone is tinny but works. My favorite phone yet.

Great Phone!!!! :)	Rating: 5
