Nokia 6265i / User Reviews

This phone has caused nothing but problems for me. It has been in for repairs three times for the SAME problems, and I'm ready to throw it out!! I would not suggest buying this phone.

Same as the reviews that I have read. Over time this phone degrades is usability and quality. I have had mine since August 2006 and sent it in twice for 'Software' related issues. This is what Telus told me. It takes two and a half minutes to boot and can no longer play video. I have virtually... More

at first the phone worked great. then about 11 months in the buttons slowly stopped working. i sent it in to nokia and because it was still in the one year warranty they sent me a new phone. 6 months later and this phone is now broken, i call nokia and they wont do anything about it unless i send it... More

I've had the phone just over a year and my phone stopped working. I've got two on a plan. I'm a regular user and my wife's a bit less. I must confess I've dropped my phone a few times, but compared to the 10 or so other phones I've owned not more or less than them with... More

We bought two in October 06' within a year one started to not boot up, they loaded new software under the warranty, now four months later it's dead and the warranty is over. They want $100 bucks just to send it in for repair. These phones were hardly used just for the odd call to one another.... More

Ok, when i bought this phone it was pretty goood. i loved it. i have now owned this phone for about 9 months now. at first this phone works smoothly like a charm then after the 6 months mark it starts getting screwed up. the start up took long, loading things took way too long, and the blutooth is terrible.... More

I chose the phone for its features. It's great when it works. But In 15 monthes, I sent it in four times for repairs, and each time the problem was the same, it failed power up. I talked to Nokia customer care, they could not do anything , just asked me send in for repair again, and I need to pay... More

I bought this phone and it was perfect for about 6 months. I dropped it in water and Nokia gave me a brand new phone because it was under warranty, so I have to commend them on that. I have had the phone for just over a year and it is wonky. The key and LCD work 20% and I can only make calls off of this... More

When i first got this phone about 8 months ago i LOVED it. I loved the look and all the functions, and it was perfect for what i wanted. But in those 8 months, the phone has had to be sent in for repairs twice, both times it being sent back without being properly fixed. Now my phone will shut down itself... More

I have had the nokia 6265i for a little bit over a year and it had broken down twice. the first time was six months into it, fortunately it was under warranty so i sent it to the manufacturer to have it fixed, the diagnosis was: software failure. the second time it broke down was 1 year after i got it... More

I got this phone in September 06, and its been bad for almost 9 months, i have dropped it a few times but it still worked fine, but i got a bunch of dust under the screen somehow, which made it hard to see, and then i got a big crack in the screen while i was working in the summer, and telus said it... More

Has alot of nice features and is a decent cell phone when it works, reception is ok but not great, droped calls happen more than I like. I've had it for about year now has died twice on me (software error as they call it) losing everything contacts pictures etc such a piss off. Telus knows this... More

i have the black one of this. and let me tell you

IT IS PERFECT! i dont know what all these reviews are talking about, ive had this phone for 7 months and it still slides perfectly. sound quality is good and it is very durable. ive dropped it many times and it still works fine! the screen is working... More

This phone is good, when it works. After just a few months of owning it, it stopped booting up properly. It begins the process but then shuts itself down again. I've looked for information on various message boards and it seems that this is a common problem with this phone. Some people had their... More

i think it's the best for ever! but with USB cable ;)

Do NOT get this phone!! Second time this happened (seems like 6 pages of the people with the EXACT same problem). I'm going to future shop tonight for replacement last time wasn't covered, but I'll freak out if this one isn't as it is only 3 months old.

This is my second 6265i and my second Nokia since owning cell phones. I've had no real problems with the phones. My first one got wet (from my bachelor party...no details will be provided!) so it wasn't covered under warranty and I had to get a new one (white). Not sure the differences,... More

Ive had this for not too long ago, and its doin just fine. its fast, and no problems.
but after what i read from the reviews..im GETTING SCARED. if only there was a phone out there that DIDNT have any problems.

Here are the facts:

1) The phone is great, when it works...good sound, lots of useful features, well laid out,

2) I've had it 6 months, and its been out for repairs twice:
- First time, the camera button got stuck pushed in (so the camera kept coming on, and taking pictures by itself),
... More

Ok - it looks really cool and it's very well designed - WHEN it works.

My slider locked after a few months - had it fixed and now after 15 months the thing does no longer boot up ...

The fact that Telus dropped it pretty quickly from its line-up is telling ...

Overall very disappointing and... More
