Hi! I have had this phone for nearly a year. The camera is quite poor quality, which makes all the pictures come out really blurry. I have 28 pictures & no videos, but it takes 6 seconds to load! & you can't even put them on the computer! Plus it has NO Bluetooth, but it's very easy to use. When I got it I had no clue how to use most phones, but in 2 minutes I had got the hang of how to use this phone.

CONCLUSION. This phone is a fine starter phone, as it is easy to use & a nice design. But when it gets older you get sick of its useless memory & bad camera & NO Bluetooth.

I had this phone for about 2 weeks & it had 2 go off for repair & again & again & again. & every time it came back with a different fault! I gave up sending it away, as I hated having to use my old phone for 2 weeks at a time!

If you're looking for a reliable phone do not buy it! It is a nice phone, with rubbish memory! Literally 15 pictures & two 30 second videos & its full!

I had the black one, so it scratched off the black & left silver lines all over the front! I had the phone a year & a bit & now the screen has nearly fell off, it rejects every sim card, won't charge, turns off by itself, battery back is broke, & it cuts calls off when it wants to! I bought this phone so I could use it every day & I was not happy with it!

The good points are. Good battery & signal is good. Bad ones. (apart from above ! ) the front screen is very low pixel! & can't hold a picture without being blurry! ).

Very happy with this phone that I've had for ages now, the only problem is that the top half of the flip phone opens too easily now. Has anyone had the same issue?

A very good mobile but if it were without the ariel & with Bluetooth, it would have been better! On the whole, there are many things that I would change in it, still. Thanks for listening!

In the web page specs, it mentions 'MicroSD Memory Card Reader with Hot Swap' as of May 1, 2007. The phone does not have a card slot on the model I purchased in the USA.

I've had this phone for over a year now. It's easy to use, & it does what it's supposed to do (make phone calls!)

But it has a tiny memory, mine can only hold one video recording if you also have pictures & the message inbox gets filled up quickly.

The camera is pretty good, unless its pitch black. It has a night mode, but it's not the best. The menu is easy peasy to use.

I generally like this phone, but it could do with better features!

Have had this phone for quite a while, & am very happy with what it does. Battery life is good. Camera isn't great, but it's OK outside in the sun! It is BY FAR better than the younger 6131 which has terrible battery life, even poorer camera, & texts seem unable to get through till hours after being sent! I will stick with my good old 6101!

Good features - Camera, FM radio. But the earpiece volume is VERY-VERY-VERY low. Cannot barely hear the conversation in a quiet room. Cannot hear anything on a street or outdoors. The only work around I know is to use the speaker phone or use the head phone. Tried turning on the automatic volume control ON/OFF. Did not help. Called Nokia USA for any software patches. They said none were available. Does any one know any fixes?

Love the huge keys, love the multi functions, especially to-do note. The outlook design is OK, big & chunky.

H8 the tiny memory, h8 the bad camera, h8 the weight, always pull my pants down!

I've had this phone since last Christmas. The phone is really cool. The only thing I don't like is the thickness of the phone. It seems to be quite chunky. Does anyone else think the same? Otherwise it's a really good phone. I am now getting the Samsung E900.

I have owned this phone for ages now & use it all the time so therefore I can give a fair review. The pros are the screens, camera, video play back, battery life & radio. The cons are the memory & slow response time. Would recommend it but please be aware the memory is far too small for the phones capabilities.

Nokia are the greatest & they have done it again with the 6101. The phone itself is so sleek & its simple to work all the features. The dual screen make much easier to use. Camera works well but the video recording could be longer & better quality. MMS is good but SMS is not a simple as I thought it would be, have to delete the last text each time. Connects good with USB cable. FM radio is a nice feature. Got the phone because I liked the idea of the FM radio in the first place. Battery life is the greatest. So basically it is all great apart from the videoing feature & SMS, but a good value phone.
