1. Get it made by Nokia - the sturdiest phones around 2. Make it shockproof by adding a thick layer of rubber on all sides 3. Make it waterproof by making it fit together like a Russian doll........ This all adds to......... The Nokia 5210! The most durable phone in the world (at the moment). You could run the thing over with a car and it would probably still work. You can throw it into a swimming pool (or the sea like a certain other reviewer did to their 3310) and it will come back for more! The reason? It is a well-designed sports phone. The phone may be aging a little now, but if you are a fan of sports, then this is essential if you insist ...  Read the complete review

I hate using the phone, whether it be a landline or a mobile, having a conversation with to what others see as a piece of plastic seems unnatural to me. My first mobile was a Pay and Go Philips C35, a big loud brick, which didn?t help my phobia (I was forced to get it when I left home for university). However, I countered this by leaving it in my flat in the same place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, therefore rendering it somewhat less ?mobile? than a mobile phone should be. When I got my first Nokia (a 3310), I was finally able to have a phone around with me, just in case I ever needed it for communication on the move. But I wanted something smaller, more ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Nokia 5210 last September. I bought it from Phones 4 U on an 02 Pay as you go tarrif. Then it cost £150. This phone has all of the usual Nokia features. They are: Messages - You know, text messages. It has predictive text so that you can write messages quickly. One downside is that it can only store 10 recieved messages. More would be better. Call Register - This contains useful information like the duration of your last call, the total amount of time you have spent on the phone, and most importantly a list of calls you missed. Profiles - This is where you customise your phone. You can set up different profiles that do ...  Read the complete review

[Personal Opinion] My Personal Opinion on 5210 is that its great on The Rush Hour Periods of the day/night. Owning a 5210 is in terms to people owning a break which seems to look like its indestructible. As Believing that I've tried smashing it a cuple of time testing its capabilitys of survival. What a laugh it has been,beside how stupid i've been trying to smash my own phone. I've owned many mobile ,9210,Communicators,7250,3210,sumsung s40,s45... and the list goes on Sounds abit silly but it has its experience. I've broken 1/4 mobiles I buy, its like hell believe it or not, spending more money. and sooo it goes on ...  Read the complete review

I have owned 3 phones over the past 4 years and spent £10 to get them. The first an ancient Nokia brick was handed to me by my father, the 3210 was sold to me for a tenner and the most recent one, the Nokia 5210, was handed to me by a close friend. Nice. The phone is identical to my girlfriend's so I already knew what to expect... my incredible ability to break things has vanished now I have this super tough, indestuctable phone. Well they say that but the screen on the case is easily broken and a replacement case costs up to £20! Thank god a fake case from the market in a variety of colours (making up for the hideous orange) for a mere £7. Anyway ...  Read the complete review
