Superb clamshell type, good looks, Nokia reliability. I am not a heavy user in relation to calls & texts or games & find the battery life not brilliant.

I find this Nokia to be a strange mix of good & frustrating. When will the company allow us to TURN OFF the THINGS WE don't WANT TO USE?

I am a totally dedicated Nokia 6131 fan because the button open to the flip is FAB & the keys are VERY BIG which is ideal for A MAN! Whoever tells Nokia that men want keys 2mm x 3mm is silly!

This phone is almost as good, but it takes two hands to open it, & it forces me to wade past things like Yahoo Go & incoming email in the messages list even when I don't want to use either!

The talk & standby time is great, the loudspeaker is rubbish! Not a patch on my trusty old 6131. Can't hear it in the car or even in a busy street, why bother?

I also HATE the side charger hole, makes it impossible to use when on charge unlike the others with a socket at the back of the phone.

Taken all round I wouldn't trade my old 6131 for this, except Nokia don't want to supply it in the UK anymore (but they do in other countries, c'mon guys!) so I have no choice unless I want to buy grey imports with no warranty! NOT CLEVER Nokia!

7 out of 10 all round score.

I loved this phone until I realised that I could not save any sent messages, on 02 only. It works okay with Vodafone (as it's a SIM free phone). The keypad was brilliant. It was like my other Nokia 6500 Slide, which I have had to go back onto, as I am with 02.

Very nice looking new Nokia clamshell mobile phone. Bought it on December 28, 2007. I was one of the lucky people who could have a trial packages (only black). It fits very well in your hand & is easy to use.

The only bad thing is the sound is a little less than the rest & I don't know why Nokia did not put a radio in it.

But I will give it a vote of 9 out of 10.
