Nokia 3120 Review

The Nokia 3120 mobile phone is at the middle of the mobile market & it comes in soft beige & smooth pale blue coloured casing. The user can choose if they wish to purchase a Nokia Xpress-on™ Cover which comes in a choice of colours & design. The 3120 is a very attractive, solid & compact mobile phone. The 3120 is very similar to the Nokia 3100 but the 3100 comes with a glow in the dark casing. The keys are very easy to use on the 3120 & the navigation key makes selecting menus very simple for the user. The 3120 comes with a 4096 colour screen with provides 128 x 128 pixel high resolution display. The phone comes with a rhythmic back light alert feature which is a very fun feature for the user.

The Nokia 3120 comes complete with great messaging services which include MMS messaging (multimedia message service) which allows the user to send text, images & audio all in one message which is very simple to create. The phone provides the user with delivery reports for all MMS & SMS (text messages) that are sent from the 3120.

The user can purchase the Nokia Fun Camera enhancement which offers the user the ability to take snaps which can be saved or shared with friends using the MMS message service.

The phone comes with many features that are highly user friendly & will make life for the user a little easier. The features include an automatic redial feature up to ten attempts, automatic answer which works with a headset or car kit, call waiting, call hold, call divert & call timer.

The 3120 comes with a really fun feature that allows the user to see a flash light displayed when a call comes in & this really brings the Nokia 3120 to life. The mobile phone includes polyphonic ringing tones which provide a quality sound. The calendar, alarm clock, stopwatch, countdown timer & calculator are very useful features that will keep the user organised.

This phone is so good I have had it for 2yrs now & no problems have occurred, it's been dropped many times & thrown against a wall & it still works LOL.

Another good thing about this phone that it looks really good & it's one of those phones that never go out. I would really recommend people buy this phone.

After 3 months of light usage, without any damage, dump, crashes & accidents, the phone started having problems with the loudspeaker, sometimes it does not work at all. After 2 additional months, the phone started having problems in recognizing my SIM card. I am not satisfied of it & I fear that, if I bring it to a Nokia Support Center, the phone will be away for 3 months (this already happened with another Nokia) & come back with the same problems. This is my last Nokia phone. Sorry, but my personal experience is very bad.

Reviewer: Srilok And. Rath - New Delhi, India

I purchased 3120 keeping in mind the requirements listed below.

My requirements primarily were:

1. Good battery, long talk & standby time.
2. Good speaker.
3. Triband.
4. Colour screen.
5. Light weight.
6. Gprs.

I have been using the handset for last 4 months & very satisfied with the performance.

Once charged I get maximum 4.5 hours of talk time & the battery lasts for minimum 72 hours, with 3 - 4 hours of talking.

The resolution of the screen is a bit dull compared with other phones available in the same price range.

My toddler son has dropped it, more than 10 times, both accidentally & deliberately. But still it works fine.

The reception is good despite bit fluctuating signal strength in my multi storied apartment. The voice quality overall is good but at times there is a mild humming sound in the voice. The speaker is loud, voice does not crack & audible from quite a distance.

The layout of the keys & size is good. It is not bulky & looks wise it's sleek. Carrying it is easy, as it weighs 85 grams. It is easy to use but not as user friendly or feature rich as non - Nokia cell phones.

The back cover is bit delicate.

Overall it's a good cell - provided if you use it for long conversations & don't expect much in terms of features I.e. radio, storing MMS clips, etc.

I got this phone very cheap unlocked so I could put my old sim card in it. It has proved to be the most reliable & best value for money phone I've ever had.

All the features of the new phones are great but realistically do we really need them all?

Great Battery Life
Less likely to get mugged
Light & comfortable
Easy to text

My Nokia 3120 is so easy to use & I love the way the keys are set out. I got the 3120 free which was excellent & it a really neat phone for nothing apart from setting up a contract. I have had it for a while & I really have nothing to moan about which is a change for me. I really enjoy this phone & use it all the time for texting & MMS, I would recommend this phone to all. My friend have all the latest camera phones & it seems like they are not as happy with their phones as I am with mine, that speaks volumes for me.

I am a builder & I have had my fair share of up to date phones, flip here & flip there but they only last 5 minutes on the building site. It aint the place for these dainty little phones. The Nokia 3120 was a very cheap phone & a very safe buy. It has had a few bangs & knocks but it is great to have with me when I am on a job. None of my lads on site have nicked it either. It is a bit basic but it really is the best phone I have had so far.

Too little on this phone to make me happy, I like all the new camera phones with video features integrated but I was looking for a phone for my 10 year old son as he has started going to his friend on the next estate to play a bit of footy. I would feel happier as a parent if he had a standard mobile phone on him at all times. I don't want him to have the flashes of phones because you hear about kids getting attacked just for their mobile phones. I will get this one it will do the basics & I am a fan of Nokia phones. Hope to get a good deal on this phone.

A simple phone that is cheap to buy & does exactly what it is supposed to do, make & receive calls. I do not want a digital camera, camcorder or a mobile office. I use a phone to take incoming calls, make out going calls & sometimes send the occasional text message. It is cheap & very practical which is great for me. The battery is good & the phone works beautifully.

I luv this phone so much. I have been the proud owner for some time now & it truly is a good phone in every way. I luv the messaging as it is very easy & quick to send a text or MMS message from the 3120. I adore my little phone as it feels great to use & I have lots of fun with the games on it. The navigation button is better than my last phone & it makes using the phone so easy. I cant remember how much I paid but it was very cheap to get this phone & I would recommend it as a very reliable, very cheap, very useable phone.
