But despite that, it feels pretty darn solid. It's easy to open with one hand, and the keyboard is very well laid-out.<br /><br />PROS:<br />- Great RF (Bell Mobility, Quebec, Canada)<br />- Blue backlight looks AWESOME<br />- Great battery life (reached five days standby)<br />- Great sound quality<br /><br />CONS:<br />- The absence of changeable faceplates is a minor annoyance<br />- Firmware is a bit laggy (takes some five seconds before responsing to keypresses)<br /><br />Overall, I'm pretty satisfied so far. This phone re-sparked my faith in Bell Mobility.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=143 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=13185#review13185 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=13185#review13185 Sat, 19 Nov 2005 14:25:12 GMT <p><i>vikingo submitted this review of the Kyocera 5135:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This es one of the most crappy phone in the industry,you buy the now, and in about 3 months, the internal card, simply does not work, and show the message " CARD EXPIRED ",DONT BUY THIS PHONE...</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=143 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=9738#review9738 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=9738#review9738 Fri, 13 May 2005 15:30:32 GMT <p><i>novazona submitted this review of the Kyocera 5135:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone looks really neat and the blue backlight is very cool. I had mine for a little less than a year and then had the problem where it went into "searching" mode indefinitely. They traded it out for a new phone (same model) at the store. Now less than a year later, the display screen seems to have burned out. I can't see who is calling on the caller ID, and can't access my address book. This phone stinks. AVOID IT!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=143 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=6279#review6279 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=6279#review6279 Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:56:02 GMT <p><i>Morpheus Kain submitted this review of the Kyocera 5135:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>These phones are horrible. They WILL NOT LAST. If you get one PLEASE do yourself a favor and get a new phone because it WILL die. I LLOOVVEED my phone because it was small, the interface was VERY efficient, and it had EVERY feature that I wanted. Unfortunately the third one I've been through just died and ate all my contacts with it. I really was hoping that the third one would last and I tried to take the absolute best care of it that I could but my efforts were unfortunately fruitless. Please, please, please get yourself a better phone!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=143 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=3875#review3875 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=3875#review3875 Tue, 06 Apr 2004 10:12:05 GMT <p><i>TELEPHONEBOOTH submitted this review of the Kyocera 5135:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>There's nothing else needed to be said, stay away from this phone, i work in the industry and we've had more problems with this phone than the mistubishi g310, and that does mean something. Yeah it'll work like the best phone you've ever had in your life for.. maybe the 6 first months, if that. Then tie yourself up cause you're on a ride that wont end till you get rid of it. Even kyocera dont mess around anymore, ship it on repair and they'll ship you back a refurbed almost with a note sayin "Please get rid of this phone"</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=143 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=3859#review3859 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=3859#review3859 Sat, 03 Apr 2004 20:54:25 GMT <p><i>MelissaL79 submitted this review of the Kyocera 5135:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for over a year now. It still works fine, battery life is still great. I have to charge only about every 2 days or so. The blue backlight is very cool, and was my main reason for buying this phone over a Moto V60. Signal and sound are always great (SF Bay Area, Verizon) and people always comment that they can't tell I'm on a mobile.<br /><br />The only drawbacks I have found are that the backlight occassionally flickers (nothing major, it just dims slightly and then brightens up again, doesn't go completely out), and the means of getting things like ringtones and games onto the phone is absolutely ridiculous (software and a USB cable). I've become very jealous of my friends with beautiful color screens and easy-to-download options, so I will trade this one in soon for something a little flashier, but overall it's a great phone and I have never had problems with it whatsoever.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=143 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=1844#review1844 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=1844#review1844 Thu, 03 Jul 2003 05:33:56 GMT <p><i>cam_legrande submitted this review of the Kyocera 5135:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>If you have a good one, hang on to it. Otherwise, it is garbage and you will find out the hard way. We sold hundreds of them around Christmas time and most of them have come back due to a faulty software file. Kyocera has attempted to fix it with a new software file, in some cases this fixes it. Otherwise, we have sent it off for repair, and they come back with the same problems. AVOID THIS PHONE!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=143 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=801#review801 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=143&r=801#review801 Sun, 08 Dec 2002 08:07:54 GMT <p><i>powerball submitted this review of the Kyocera 5135:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The 5135 is a great phone for an even greater price. This has to be one of the best "value" flips on the market. Have you priced the other flips? I am sure that if Kyocera added a color screen and external LCD this phone would cost at least a $100 more. This phone is a great value and a great first flip for Kyocera. I am looking forward to their next generation of this series.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=143
