Author's Review
(First of all, sorry for my English, but I'm Italian, then not mother tongue!)
Well, I got this phone two weeks ago because I broke my Nokia 8310 (*sigh!*) and I liked it from the first glimpse.
Compact, light, nice and... well, it's a Nokia, that's a guarantee!
The phone has a big color display, very bright and clear to read. You can adjust the brightness, however, to match your own preference. You can choose your custom wallpaper and a set of colors for menus, etc...
The keyboard is easy to use, it's difficult to push the wrong key. It seem less slack than other Nokias.
The phone support polyphonic ringtones, with up to 4 polyphonic notes simultaneously. There are some presets you can customize and easily access by clicking the power key. Ringtone volume is sufficient for almost all situations, however, if it's not enough, the good vibracall will alert you.
There's a bit of memory to save ringtones, pictures and some Java games and applications, unfortunately only one game and two poor applications are included. You can't store so much, but hey, it's just a phone, not a notebook!
The quality of voice is good, the signal is great... I got it everywhere, even when my friends don't have it (with the same operator)...
The phone has a nice organizer, enough for people who like to have a reminder along. You can store meetings, calls, birthdays, notes... and choose to set an alarm for them or not. Easy and useful! Obviously, the clock got the alarm, that's loud enough to wake from my deep sleep... well, if it wake ME up, it can surely wake up you too!
There are also some utilities, like chronometer, timer, calculator... quite useful.
The phone can access Internet and other services by WAP and by GPRS. It has an integrated modem, so you can link it with your notebook (by optional Nokia cable or by infrared port) and access the Internet with your notebook by GPRS without a GPRS modem. Nice! ;)
And, as I mentioned, it has also infrared port (IrDA), so you can manage your phone by a pc. There's Nokia software included in the package, that allows you to upload pictures and ringtones, synchronize data, backup phone book, save sms... you can also write sms by pc and then send it by phone.
Well, I think I said almost everything about this phone... I reccomend it to everyone who wants a small, light, easy to use and great phone, I just regret the look of my broken 8310... this 6100 is nice, but the 8310 was nicer!
Oh, well, I was forgetting other two things... the battery last for 320 hours in standby (or at least Nokia affirm so), but it last actually quite less (and less than my old 8310, gosh!)... well, you it have a color display, polyphonic ringtones, Java games... a lot of battery-exhausting stuff! Anyway, it last for some days... and included there's a fast charger, so you can get full charge in 1h30! It's a short time, don't you think?
The phone can also receive and send MMS, but remember that it hasn't a camera included. You can buy optional accessories like camera and radio to use with your Nokia 6100.
Well, that's enough I think. One advice? If you need a good phone and you don't care for radio and camera, BUY IT!
