Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The 6170 is an attractive phone; very sturdy and large enough to hold, the keys are a good size too. The speaker sound is great and callers say I sound very clear on it too.
The positives: calls are clear, signal strength is great (usually works fine with just one bar), synchronization software included (some phone mfgs make you buy the software), camera is good. Aesthetically attractive, easy to use.
A few negatives: shape of phone may be uncomfortable on the ear when you talk for a long time (it is not ergonomically rounded, but square), accessories are not easy to find (does not use a 2.5 headset jack), the voice record button on the side may get pushed accidentally and record a few minutes of your day - and take up the limited phone memory. Except for silencing the meeting reminders set when synchronizing with outlook, the meeting alarm is annoying and can't be changed. No bluetooth.
Overall, I find that the phone is good and functional as a telephone; the few negatives, while annoying at times, do not detract from my satisfaction with the phone.

Design Besides looking good, the 6170's stainless steel case is durable, making this phone ready for a rough and tumble world. The outside cover houses a 95 x 65 color LCD that displays pictures, call information, signal strength, the time, and more. The VGA camera and speakerphone speaker are housed below this display. Inside the clamshell, you'll find a large 128 x 160 display that supports 65,000 colors. The phone's antenna is internal, so there's nothing to snag in your pocket. A five-way center button above the handset's dial pad controls most of the phone's functions. Meanwhile, a USB port for data synchronization and wireless modem functionality is provided on the bottom of the unit.
Calling Features The 6170's phone book can hold up to 500 contacts with multiple entries per contact. As mentioned, it also features a speakerphone for easy handsfree talking. Pictures of your friends can be used as caller ID alerts and the phone features many built-in polyphonic ringtones. Of course, custom ringtones can be uploaded to the phone via its USB data port. Plus, for those times you want to keep things discreet, there's also a vibrate ringer mode. And for the ultimate in calling ease, the 6170 supports voice dialing and voice commands, so you can call your contacts and operate various phone functions without ever touching it.
Lastly, the 6170 supports push-to-talk, which allows you to speak with other push-to-talk users as if you're both on a two way radio. Note that your GSM wireless provider must support this service.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools The 6170 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, graphics, sound and video via messages.

T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 6170, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator (with currency converter), a calendar, an alarm clock, and a to-do list. Via download on its Web site, Nokia offers a free application called PC Suite that facilitates easy synchronization of contacts, calendar events and other data between the phone and your PC.
Imaging and Entertainment The 6170 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA camera can capture stills and video, both of which can be sent to your friends via MMS messaging or email, or to your PC via USB.
