When using the phone first I was impressed. The camera is good enough for what I want especially with a flash. All the bits can be organised to make them handy. However, battery life is poor, 2 days. Worse still though, the speaker failed. I bought another one on eBay & that failed too. It appears to be speaker problems. Had the first one repaired under guarantee but how long is that going to last?

I have two 3120 classic phones & both have now had speaker problems. The first I have just had repaired & luckily just as I got the first one back from repair the second phones speaker went down. Is this an inherent problem with this phone? I think it is a terrific phone otherwise but I just hope this speaker problem is resolvable or I have just wasted my money on them.

Bit cheap looking but for the price, I consider this phone to be great value for money. Does exactly what it should do & I think does it very well!

Very configurable which is very handy so I have the features that I use just where you need them.

Camera OK, but it's a phone first. Good enough for eBay!

Loud enough for my ears & I find the vibration to be strong. Having been away from the Nokia brand for a few years, it's a welcome return!

Phone has caused me to be late for work twice now.

How on earth do you switch snooze on? (It was on, then disappeared somehow), very UN user friendly, rubbish for texting, bring back my Sony Ericsson!

I think it is a good mobile phone. As I'm Using Nokia 5200, Nokia 6600, this has more features than 5200.

Still sound is not so good like 5200, but picture quality, camera & video quality is fine. Even better then Nokia 6600.

2 main things that make me frustrated are.

- Backlight off so quickly.
- Front camera is not so usable until you use Video calling. Normal user can't use this feature.

I request to Nokia please do something for backlight problem.

Could you please add call timer to your new phones. It really helps me.

Rest is fine.

IT IS A VERY GOOD MOBILE. IT IS DESIGNED VERY EXCELLENTLY, BUT IT IS SHOWING ERROR IN CONNECTION WHEN WE MOVE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. IT IS A GOOD PHONE I AM SATISFIED WITH THIS. The ONLY PROBLEM IS SOMETIMES WE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET INCOMING & OUT GOING CALLS.

Please don't go for this phone as it has problem with speakers. Even after software update & repair the problem still exists. It looks attractive. Thats the only advantage with this phone.

Just like a baby N70 in S40 Platform. Design is not that bad. Main functions as phone (messaging, call, organisers, etc.) work excellent. Sound works great if placed with loudspeaker facing flat on surface. Camera is not shy (but I hate the red eyes, fault of the flash). Video is excellent when set in higher resolution (I've recorded fireworks this New Year & it's beautiful). Thumbs up to web browsing, can check regularly my yahoo e-mail, friendster & facebook account. Also works good in YouTube! Data transfer works fast via Bluetooth or data cable! Just got disappointed, package included a single sided head set & no data cable! But still recommended! For those who don't know how to play the radio in loudspeaker, you need first plug in your headset (it function as antenna so it is a must), select settings, then loudspeaker!

I still wonder why opera mini's browsing is free of charge in my first 2 months of use. But now, it charges my load. But still great phone!

Absolute rubbish, the backlight cannot be adjusted & cuts out after a few seconds, making it difficult to read even a short message. It's virtually impossible to read the screen outdoors, the music player memory is a joke (15MB), enough for 4 tracks if you're lucky. I was given this as a company phone, otherwise I'd be screaming for a refund!

I am using this phone for a month now & I am loving it. Excellent phone with great music player camera with flash. All works great. The Video quality is excellent. At this price this is the best 3G phone available in the market now.

Excellent phone! Battery life is about 1 week! For all those who had problems with the back. Read the instructions. I read the reviews & wasn't going to get it but VERY glad that I did. Easy to use. It's everything I could of wished for!

Got this phone when renewing the 2 year contract. This is the worse phone I had. Buggy, cannot switch off. When I switched off, the phone restarted again. Battery life is short only about 2 days even when I hardly use it. Recording is soft & recording level could not be increased. Ringing volume is also soft causing me to miss calls. The camera resolution is low & not good in poor lighting. No transfer cable & software for downloading to PC. After a month of use, I switched back to my old phone, Nokia 6020.

This phone has lots of potential but is let down by silly design. The case creaks & the phone feels cheap & nasty.

The display light, although nice & bright, goes off around 10 seconds after you last press a key, which is useless if you are trying to read a long webpage, there is no adjustment for this!

The keypad (or as Nokia call it, keymat, which is actually more accurate) is not great, thin, cheap & tacky.

If you want a cheap phone, there are others. I got my 3120c yesterday, it went back today.

First impressions were good, a Symbian phone in a small case, kind of a baby N73, sadly though nowhere near as good. Screen brightness dim, & not adjustable. Camera on this one gives green on any dark contrasting background. Video good though & VGA a bonus. Still volume not adjustable playing java games, S60 V3 for you, designed for Symbian games which there are few! Tacky casing, would highly recommend the Sony Ericsson V640i instead, lower res screen but better brightness & a more solid feel & still HSDPA & half the price approx.

A truly great phone, for those who like Smartphone features without carrying a brick. The phone is really tiny. Great videos & OK photos, cool web browsing & a great baseline software package. Keys might feel a little small.
