Nokia 5500 Sport Mobile Phone

The Nokia 5500 is obviously geared to take advantage of the current trend for healthy living.
However it has not neglected any of the other aspects of mobile telephony.
With the Sports mode selected the phone will be able to monitor and record various activities using its built in pedometer.
You can enter personal details such as sex, date of birth, height, weight, endurance level and heart rate when at rest and maximum level.

With a text-to-voice converter, it will actually read text messages out to you as well.

I very Sporty Mobile !!!

Not a bad phone but the build quality doesn't live up to the hype. I bought a cover to protect mine but the back cover lock still managed to fall to pieces even with careful treatment and opening with the correct tool (not covered under the limited Nokia warranty) + this is the second time it's been sent back to Nokia for audio repair but this is covered by the 2 year guarantee so I guess that's something.

A rugged splash proof phone, screen is really to small to handle all the features and functions built into the phone. Battery life is not the best, probably because of all the functions built into the phone. Plenty of features but need the manual to figure them all out. If you need a rugged phone and don't need to use the email/web features too much this is the ideal phone. If you want to browse the web the screen is much to small to do it for more than a couple of minutes a day!
I am happy with it as a phone, and use it when I am working outside.

The only reason i got this phone was because it was water resistant. As a builder i have gone through many different makes and models up to now the phone is fine, not the easiest phone to use and the screen isnt very clear in normal daylight.

I had this phone on contract but unfortunatly lost it. Even though my contract is up for renewal next month, this is still the only phone I'll have.
Its durable, strong, water-resistant and I'm able to use it to accurately track my running, cycling, walking, etc. Not to mention it comes up with fitness plans and challenges for you.
Samsung have brought out a sport phone they hope will fill the gap left by this one...NEVER! It cant even compare.
Just to mention, some people may find it difficult at first as unlike most Nokias that are pretty standard to use, this one is slightly differant but once you know how it works, its brilliant.

Indestructable! Throw it from a moving vehicle or drop it in the lake and the thing just keeps on working.

Functions and Features: its a smartphone with pretty much everything on it that you expect with the high end Nokias. Its even satnav compatible if you buy a small tranmitter.

Easy and intuitive to use, as you would expect from a Nokia.

As for people grumbling about the key pad peeling away... I did have a problem with this but I just bough a new case off Ebay for £0.89 and this has remained secure for over a year. Let's weigh things up - wet or drop a standard phone and break it, pay lots of money for replacement or claim on insurance; or get something rock solid and risk having to shell out £0.89 for a new cover... Hmmm - tough one!

Good phone but i think i paid lillte much for it but still very happy withit as long as battery life holds up and it works well overall a gd purchase!

very pleased with yhe phone arrive very quick thanks very much would buy off this person again thanks again

This is the third 5500 i have purchased. This one is for a friend. I have droped, kicked, frown, even droped it into a cup of coffee. And it STILL WORKS.
The only thing about this phone i would change is the over compicated menu system, it works well but can take time to get what you want. Over all a very good hard working phone. As a mechanic i do try to break my phones(not this one.)

The product is quite hard to find, thats why I bought it. But it wasn t in as good condition as I was lead to believe. Disappointing

I am very pleased with my phone. I bought it to replace my old hand set and need a hard wearing phone for my work as a tree surgeon.
It now means that I have a sim card only contract at a fraction of the cost. So I win all round. Cheep phone and cheep calls.

This product was a necessary replacement for a much older 'phone which had come to the end of its life.

The Nokia is easy to use however, some aspects of its' opporation took a little time to get used to; maybe a study of the manual would make life easier!

Taking everything into account my overall opinion is that this product is good, however I think a replacement battery is required, the current battery only keeps a charge for maybe, 36 hrs at the very most.

smart phone, does more than i'd ever need it to do, mind you so did my last mobile,6230i. not sure if i'll use the music or exercise menu. just ph and txt me. bought this cause no one likes to down grade ther ph do they, it looks good ,its not a flip or slide, and its a NOKIA, which is the phones i've always had. cheers giddayther

I recieved the phone and it was exactly as advertised. The product was well packaged and the delivery was quick. I'm very satisfied with phone.

Great phone. ideal for what i'm doing as an outdoor instructor! If you need a good hardy phone to deal with weather and a good bashing, this is the one.

Well the phone is a bit to complecated and it doesn't seem to work propary
when you phone in or phone out the person on the other side can not here me speak so not very happy with the phone

this is a rubbish phone mainly due one major defect.. the keypad breaks loose. Mine came away after 2 months! Having done some research this is a fairly comon problem. Ironicaly this supposed to be a tough mobile. Don not buy, im surprised nokia released this with such an obvious defect!!! You have been warned!

the seller put in the listing that the phone needed unlocking, but ive just emailed him and he as telled me that the phone is blocked so i wish to remove my bid.......................

- I've always owned and loved Nokias, until this one. You would need perfect 20/20 vision to be able to write a msg. Even the "Contacts" list is in tiny writing and cannot be changed. To find anything in the menus takes awhile because it's not structured like Nokias of the past. The text to voice function cannot be understood. Keyboard is flat and clustered and texts have to be written with you nails. For a 2MP camera, it's quality is very poor in all conditions. The volume is too low. It has already packed up once after a just a few months.
+ On the plus, it does take a good beating ,it has a good light and it's fairly tidy, but this doesn't make up for anything. TRY SENDING A MSG AFTER A FEW DRINKS & YOU'LL SEE.
ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!!!

I bought this because I had the previous sport one and it was sturdy and had good features like a torch.
For a sport phone this one is not waterproof and the font is way too small.
The quality of the pics is not good indoors.
All in all it is disapointing

I have owned this phone for just a couple of months and already the facia has come off, the rubber around it had to be glued it which didn’t work so now it has double sided sticky tape holding it together. The black around the numbers is wearing away. The screen and lens on the camera is made of a soft material, which is now scratched badly. I am not a big user of my phone I only spend about £10 a month so you know how little it has been used which is a big disappointment as I loved my previous phone a Nokia 5210(rubber type) which served me well for more than 4 years. It even survived being in my pocket full of water when I got caught in a rain storm while out on my horse. Being a horse rider I wanted something that would be rain and dust resistant this one is certainly not as advertised. I will no doubt be looking for a new phone shortly and I will take a lot of persuading to buy another Nokia. Sorry Nokia.

C**p phone, does,t charge properly with the little attachment supplied with this phone, why have they done this??
Very un-user friendly unlike other Nokia phones which are generally very good.
Poor maximum voloume, very difficult to have a conversation unless your in a silent room.
Buttons are close together and difficult to select even with small hands, I result to using my nails.
Menus are very long winded.

Summed up C**p.... Do not buy this phone!
