Hi.. Im just wonder how many people out there have their hand on Nokia 5100? from what I read from Nokia site, it show very cool features, and very soild build. I thinking to get one.. but not sure if it is worth the price ($500usd)

Try mphone.co.uk

they sell it for 391 USD shipped to me, (you have to convert it yoruself using the converter on the left) and they have it in stock. Im going to order one after i sell my 7210 and 6590. Anyone have one? what do you think of it? is it ugly? Thanks!

Is that site turstable? cuz it almost $200 cheaper.... is that true?

*Edit*
What do they mean by SIM Free?

i THINK they are trustworthy but not sure...
SIM free means that the phone does not come with a SIM card and is not locked to any provider

I have bought 3 phones from mphone, and had refunds on all of them.

Got a 7210, didnt like keypad, returned no Q's asked

Got a 6610, got annoyed with basic nokia functions, returned, again, no Q's asked

Got a S55, returned due to crap battery life.

They didnt seem to mind at all, and I got every penny back.

Then ordered T68i mp3 player from them, no problems at all.

my 2 pennys

I see.. so I think I can turst them then.. but how was the phone u got from them? brand new right? or they might be refurbished phone?

Posted by: ladfromwales85

Yes, all brand new. SIM Free handsets these days never seem to have the seal on the box like PAYG phones do.

But the phones still have plastic film on screen, battery still sealed etc, counters @ 0

Great bunch

Mphone is VERY reliable and their price on the 5100 is unbeatable. I recommend them all the time. I have been buying from Expansys lately, but the mphone price was a lot better, plus they only ship Fedex to the states, so you'll have the phone within a day or so.

AND, yes, I do own the 5100. It's awesome. I was looking for a nights/weekend phone since I primarily use a Treo during the work week. I have been looking for a rugged outdoor phone for a long time, but there was never one available for the US market. Now I can take this phone traveling, to concerts, to the beach, and whatever. Plus, since the outer rubber shell is removable, I dont have to wrory about permanently damaging the screen.

This is my first Nokia phone in a long time (since my 6190!). I am so happy with the series 40 platform. I have since downloaded a bunch of poly-ringtones, java apps, games, background, etc. The voice quality is good as is the signal strength. I am now considering getting another Series 40 phone for my wife, so we can MMS back and forth and share games, ringtones. Battery life is also very good, as is with most GSM phones...

Howards review covers all the features, if anyone has any further questions, just let me know. PM would be quicker, since I'm new to the forums. Oh, and I didn't get a color choice from mphone, but they sent me the Dark Grey, which is cool.
