Delivery & pricing

I must admit that 5130 is not the newest phone on the market what it is, but for me it is sufficient. I bought it just over a half years in connection with a prepaid card. At that time I have 129, – DM paid for it and was very happy to have such a phone. The 5130 is a pure Eplus phone. At that time I decided, since we already have a contract phone with Eplus and have therefore made only good experiences with Eplus.

On the phone I got was still a charger and a card with a starting balance. Of course, already included a battery to the phone to do so. Furthermore, it was still a very helpful user guide for the mobile phone, which has helped me very beginning.

Other Accessories

First I would like to mention once the belt clip, and the different purses. What you can do with the belt clip, probably should be clear to all, of course, the phone click on the belt. A carry case I find quite useful for a cell phone as it is in such a case still protected and very difficult to scratch abbekommen can. These bags can now get almost all over and in different colors.

Where we have the scratch, we do here continues the same. Should it actually happen that one time the upper shell scratch or even break it so you get this phone without problems for a new outer shell. This top shell give it in different colors and with different motives. The price varies for such an upper shell, however, very strong. He is usually 20-70 DM

Since it is forbidden in today’s time to get phone calls at the wheel of one course, for this cell phone car accessories. So give it as a complete car kits as well as hands-free phone holder for the car and are commercially available.
Continue to give it to the Nokia 5130 for a variety of batteries. These can be distinguished by the fact that they are particularly flat or have a particularly long stand-by time. It give even a vibrating battery for this phone, but you have to reorder themselves in this trade. Anyone who feels can also buy a new charger, also give it different types, I am thinking only of what is the cigarette lighter or desk stand.

But this is not all data cables and antennas also sets are available for this phone. That should be this, but have for now.

Exterior

Nokia what I bought has a glittering blue-black upper shell. The battery and the rest are back in a simple black. With this phone, the antenna is outside and not inside as with others in the mobile phone. This can occasionally be annoying if you want to pick up the phone from the bag out because you can get caught with small bags before.
With dimensions of 132 x 47.5 x 31 is the 5130 not just the least but very handy. Frankly I do not want is much smaller for I find the one for a cell phone exactly the right size. Consider it the only time the smaller the cell phone, the keys are smaller.

Which brings us already talking about the next point. On the front of the phone has 17 buttons. The keys with which one enters the numbers are down at the phone. In short it is found then a delete button, a button on it ran with a blue and next two arrow buttons. The blue button is always confirms what we have just entered. It serves to accept and place calls. With the two keys you can then you move through the menu.
Above the display you will find then a red button with the one the phone on and off can provide. Pressing the button briefly and also leads to a menu where you can phone the quiet, loud, or silently again set to normal volume. Right next to this button is the “ear”. Here then comes the voice out at the other end.

The display is on this phone very nice. It is 5 lines high and 16 characters long. So you can then even these small pictures and send and receive. Of the five lines we can only describe as the three upper and the lower occupied always with something (for example, are the Clock). The graphics screen size is 84 x 48 pixels. Oh yes you can also save an operator logo on this phone. The received from other ringtones is not possible.

The display is on the left nor the field strength (antenna) and you then have the right battery indicator. The display is illuminated. That gave me so many times helped to find the keyhole of my door in the dark * gg *. If you lock with the key combination (blue key + star key) the keyboard on the display you see a small key. But do not worry if it is then called one need not only the key lock to take out again to accept the call.

Back of the phone has one then another two buttons, or at least it appears so. One, is also located in the middle of it serves to remove the battery. The other is not really a button that is a small rubber plug. If this is carefully removed there is a clear connection option for an antenna.

On mobile ground are then the connections for the charger as well as for the data cable. Beautiful I think this is the Nokia 5130 even with the charger can charge the 3310th I know so because we have a 3310 at home and I have ever charged with the charger of my phone when I had frittered away my charger again.

Oh I have a button now almost forgotten. On the phone is still a button. Pressing this button so you can remove the upper shell. If we have this time off, you can also clean the same key pad. The buttons are rubber and therefore also very handy. We also have mobile phones where the buttons are plastic but you can slip off because even now and then while typing.

Menus

Overall, the cell phone nine top menu. In this menu you get easily in the time you press the blue button. Then you can continue to move with the arrow keys to scroll through the menus. I will now once you try these menus to present to each other.

Directory

This is the address of your phone. Here you can add new names to add, change old messages, delete existing entries, send messages to prove the speed dial or just browse your address book. I can also change the display format of your girder or you can view the status of the your address book has. Overall, you can save up to 100 entries and the name length is limited to 15 characters.

Communications

In this menu you can manage SMS (SMS input and output), SMS send and write set message options, select an issue or news service and change the number of Anrufbeantwortet. The number of SMS you can store a maximum at the 5130 limited to 12, which was then still standard. Today, it already give mobile phone with which you can save much more. The review of SMS for this phone is very nice and fast.

Call register

Here you can manage it your calls. You can display, for example, the numbers of the last 10 arrivals, missed or dispatched calls. Furthermore, you can leave here you show your call time and call costs. The call costs have to be set only before and I even believe that one has to agree in this contract.

Settings

Here you can take the settings from her cell phone cover. And then you can make it different call settings, phone settings or security settings. If you buy the phone and of course it is set in this menu you can also set it back to factory settings.

Diversion

Here it’s all about the calls you want to make calls. You can also really Diverenzieren. Whether you want to divert all calls, or calls get the busy or arrive only if all the if you can not be reached or, or, or. As you can already see the menu program this phone is really very extensive.

Games

The 6 menu is really a very nice diversion if you have time boredom, here it is namely games. It must have saved three game on this phone (Pairs, Snake, Logic) In Pairs you can always find two identical cards. When Snake is a snake and has to eat small dots. And with Logic must be combined logically. For all games you can select different difficulty levels.

Calculator

In this menu you have a small calculator which allows you to perform all basic calculations. This can be really helpful when shopping whether it is or at home if you have no time calculator with you. Let’s be honest how many times you have a calculator with you and how often the phone.

Clock

In this menu you can set the clock. Furthermore you can find in this menu, even an alarm clock from which you can Wake up.

Tones

Here you can select one of many different call tones (30 total). However, I have found the most but all have the same ring type, although the selection in this menu is not really small. You can define here and also the volume of the ringer. Furthermore, you have to decide whether you you want to have a key tone or not and also for playing the notes or the text messages can be changed here and select.

General information about the menus

Navigation through the menus is really simple and easy. For all who have ever owned a Nokia, it would still be a lot easier, as most Nokia’s have the same menu. But even if one is mobile novice will find himself quickly in the various menus at right.
Furthermore, the menus are really extensive and you can really do very much with the phone and set it individually.

Manual

But once we come to the little book what it was on the phone to do so. It has really helped me find me at first to cope with the mobile phone even if it was redundant after a few hours because, like I said can very easily get used to the phone and so handle with them.

You will find in here only once important information on the device itself, so how, for example, the SIM card using or interchanges. Then continue again and explained all of the key things you can do with them.
Then you can still find an extensive explanation of all menus and sometimes even once hidden a small tip how to deal with the phone may still further simplified. Finally, you then can find information on care and maintenance and service are some numbers in there too. All in all, the manual is geschreieben really very easy to understand and easy and you should not be deterred them is 66 pages thick.

Technical data

As I said the phone with the dimensions 132 x 47.5 x 31 actually very handy. With a weight of 170g it’s not particularly difficult. With the included battery, the handset has a standby time of 270 hours which corresponds to a talk time of just under 5 hours. Over time, the battery provides, however slightly, and it does not reach all these values but it is always perfectly sufficient to me so I had to buy a new battery.

With the included battery is a NiMH (900 mAh) battery which takes a charging time of just over 4 hours. With this battery, but no vibrating alert is possible, but you can even re-order a vibrating battery if you want them.
Well then would actually say is that this phone is not WAP capable but was not a big disadvantage for me since I have Internet at home and me going into the net via the phone before it is too expensive.

Conclusion

So he has now been my first report here. Finally, I want to say I am very happy with the Nokia 5130 and frankly it meets all my needs I have in a mobile phone. It is cheap, has many nice features, looks good and you can call it. What do you want to specify more so, I want it anyway so it’s not enough for me. So now I listen to but. Until then.
