This phone is exactly the same as the Nokia 402 except for the following:

1. It is only avaivble on the one 2 one network
2. It is configured for GSM 900 frequeniceis.
3. It is younger, therefore some technical glitches were removed.

Apart from those 3 things, the following appys...

The Nokia 5146 was once a very good phone, and when I got my first one, I was very pleased.

However I shall write this opinion based on today’s market, and indeed what consumers should think about.

By today’s standards the 5146 is a brick.

*BRICK = Large phone, comparable to your typical house break in dimensions

It was the first phone to use the new Nokia profile set-up, and the fully graphical display was revolutionary, however by today standards it is small and very limited.

It has all your typical features that could pass it as a decent phone:

Loads of ring tones, great if you have a winging child who wants s a phone that can handle even the bleepiest of phone tune.

PAY AS YOU GO - £50
Snake – The game – Its evil, but schoolyards across the nation, this is the “in” thing to have. Basically it’s a good phone for all those kids who seem to “need” a phone on them.
Just a thought

The review:

However these are the reasons why you shouldn’t buy this phone:

Its large, compared to today’s compact technology, may as well pay the extra to save the lining of your pocket.

No vibrating alert means you might miss a lot of calls

However you can change the covers and this was the main reason for everyone buying the phone, I bet Nokia and 3rd parties made a packet out of them. I mean, come on, £10 - £30 for a piece of moulded plastic!

Rip Off

Summary – By today’s standard this phone is lacking in handy features, however it has the bones of a go
od phone. Buy only if you are very money conscious.
