Telstra F158 Review

hyp4mhz

Welcome to the Telstra/ZTE F158 review. The F158 is technically identical to the F152 and the F156. The differences are all to do with the casing. This is clearly a rugged version. How rugged? well moderately more we suspect. We think it feels much better then its family members because of the rubber surround.

The F158 is much like the Nokia 5500 series except that the Nokia has a ton more features like calorie, distance counters and even appropriate PC software to see your activity on a graph. It also comes with a 1700mAh battery! So it should easily last 10 or so days if not more left on standby.

The F158 is good basic phone but only if you want to be connected to the Telstra network.  For people into outdoors or farming and those who live in the ‘bush’ this could be the phone for you. Otherwise there are better models.
