Lows: No Bluetooth support, hard to push keys

Summary

The Nokia 5100 is probably one of the oddest phones we have seen. The design is definitely over the top and the inclusion of programs such as a calorie burner and sound meter have us wondering if the cell phone market has become so competitive to the point that every little add-on function is necessary to stay one step ahead of the competition. The power button on the 5100 is ridiculously hard to push and for every extra ability the 5100 has, there still is no Bluetooth capability. The 5100 proved to be very rugged and durable in our tests due to the rubber casing and we got accustomed to the thick rubber keys. Beyond the 5100's hard exterior is a charming and intelligent phone with a bright display and plenty of features. The 5100 is the perfect phone for those with an active lifestyle. Teens will no doubt also fall in love with the 5100's total customizability.
