Reviewer: Soosie - UK

Bought this to replace another Nokia that died, spent months trying to get the Bluetooth to work to download MP3 files to find it would only hold 1 song (& maybe a half). Tried to find ANY information on alternate music file formats to save space failed miserably.

The features sound great, but you can't use them because of lack of memory.

Even struggling with send & receive picture messaging.

The design of the phone is simple nice & it is easy to use. It has the folders for music files but you can't put any music on the phone so there is no point the folders being there. Nokia have created some good phones but this is not one of Nokia's best phone it has its problems it can have a tendency to cut out on you whenever it feels like with no warning & a full battery.

If you want music get an iPod, if you want crystal clear photos buy a digital camera. If you want a stylish phone that's easy to use buy this. All I ask from my phones is that they are clear with good sound, have good strong buttons for texting, aren't fiddly, feel solid in my hand & look good. This phone ticks all those boxes. Sometimes I wonder what people want from a phone!

Phone's quite useless. Can't get much on it because it doesn't have a memory card. Messages don't show the name of the person who sent the text, just the number appears even if the name is saved on the phonebook! Phone's quite rubbish! Waste of money!

This phone is a waste of money only holding its charge for about 4 to 5 hours, make one call & it is flat again. Have had this problem with Nokia phones before so I would buy a Samsung which hubby has & stays charged for days even with lots of use. Nokia ARE RUBBISH.

This is singularly the worst mobile phone I've owned. I put up with it's N-Series & took it back to Argos for a full refund. I upgraded to a Nokia 6303 & all is well with the world again.

I beg you, don't buy the 7100. It has a very slow processor so quick navigation is met with stutters, burps & frozen displays. It has no memory card so you're lucky to be able to store a handful of pictures (from the dreadful 1.3 camera) & an MP3 or maybe two.

Get the 6303 & be done with it. Safe as a James Taylor album.

Good look & design. Looks expensive. Nice display text & menus. Unfortunately dies within 6 to 8 hours on average. Not long lasting. 3 out of 10 for facilities. 8 out of 10 for its looks.

Worst phone I think I have ever owned! Awful, kept turning off & on, & when you slid it up it took about 7 seconds (counted) for the screen to light up!

Took it back after 4 hours, was that bad, there was no way I could keep that phone constantly!

Emm so just bought this phone today, because my old Nokia completely died on me LOL. That phone seemed to turn itself off all the time. I have no idea how to get songs onto this one I got today, but people are saying you only get one song. Well I wish I looked at these reviews before I spent 70 quid on this thing.

I suppose it will do until Christmas when I will get my iPhone. Here's hoping LOL.

Bought this from Tesco for £30 which had £20 off when bought with £30 of normal shopping. I don't need a camera or MP3 player so won't use these features. As for the phone, I've no problems with it at all. Let's face it if you want high end camera & MP3 player then you've probably got a camera & player anyway.

This is the worst phone I have ever owned & I have owned a few! The sound is not very good, the picture quality is lousy & the text options are minimal.

The main problem with this phone is the battery, whether this was a bad batch or not I don't know but it kept turning itself off the only way you could get it to work again was to take the battery out & put it back in. Not what you expect off a £50 phone!

I returned it to the store I bought it from & exchanged it for a different brand & model. I bought Nokia because I remember when they used to be one of the best. Not sure now!
My advice (for what it is worth) is choose a different phone & don't waste your money on this one!

As this is my first phone I found it simple to use, I got used to the layout & design straight away. The graphics for the camera are fairly good, but it takes the camera a while to load. There wasn't much variety on ringtones, but there are some really cool themes, backgrounds & other extras to the phone.

Overall I thought this phone was great, quite simple, so even better for first phone users. I think it was well worth the money, it is fantastic!

Have had this phone for a month now, bought it for £50 on PAYG & this is fair price for features provided. I realise many people want music etc. But I don't. As a phone I love it, very fast to use, nice fast keys, slips into pocket easily (& I am talking female pockets). Overall am really pleased.

Unfortunately like the design of this phone, it's just a shame other aspects didn't match this high standard.

Overall, I would not recommend it; there are plenty of other phones available in the same price range that offer much better features than the Nokia 7100.

Not that bad a phone, alright the camera might be rubbish & only hold one songs, however I have a digital camera for taking pictures & I have an iPod for listening to music.

However I do agree that Nokia's produced better phones.

Looks OK, But it's not a great phone I expected more from Nokia. The stored files are pretty rubbish so straight away you have to add your own ring style. I am an adult I don't want pop & disco music or high pitched tones. The camera is beyond rubbish, hardly worth having one on the phone. I would not recommend this phone it could have been a nice phone & it should be for what it cost. Shame I have always had a Nokia. I am off today to return the phone I want my money Back!
