As we mentioned earlier, the Nokia 3155i doesn't have a camera, but it does have an FM tuner so that you can listen to the radio on your phone. However, you have to purchase a separate headset ($29.95) in order for the radio to work. For other diversions, Nokia packages the phone with Bowling 2, Ms. Pac-Man, and Tetris, but they're all demo versions, so you'll have to purchase them to enjoy the full benefits. You can personalize the phone with a variety of wallpaper, screensavers, and color schemes. The 3155i also supports MP3 and AAC ring tones. As always, you can download more options if you're not satisfied with the default settings.
We tested the trimode (CDMA 850/1900; AMPS 800) Nokia 3155i in the San Francisco area using Sprint's network. Call quality was OK but nothing spectacular. Callers could tell we were using a cell phone, but they didn't report too many problems in terms of clarity or volume. On our end, callers sounded somewhat garbled, and activating the speakerphone didn't help, although volume was adequate.
Nokia promises 4 hours of talk time and up to 10 days of standby time. In our tests, the 3155i got 4.5 hours of talk time, which beat what Nokia promised. According to FCC radiation tests, the Nokia 3155i has a digital SAR rating of 1.22W/kg.
