6120 User Review



ok, i have been using the 6120 for more than a week now, and i got a little time for now to jot down my thoughts... (the picture above shows the Nokia 6120 Classic in the middle, 5500 Sport on the left and E50 on the right)

HARDWARE/PHYSICAL

- small and light and i like it
- solid built, except the back cover, it could become loose in time
- keypad is not bad, it is not as small as the E70, but certainly not as big as N95
- the menu key and the C key is a bit difficult to hit, you need time to adjust to it
- screen is about the same as E50, although a little bit wider
- the d-pad is not bad, but it could have been better
- the piano black plastic back cover is a finger print magnet
- camera and the LED flash is decent

MENUS/FP1 SW

- it is basically N95, sans the multimedia menu
- yea it does not have multimedia keys as well
- click the camera button the camera pops up
- menus are fast, almost N95 fast, definitely not like E50
- however, menus maybe N95 fast, but not close to N95 picture rendering and thumbnail rendering

tidbits
- call clarity is great, but i think N95 is better, that is if your N95 does not hiss
- the 3 java games are great
- and so are the new themes
- battery life is very good compared to N95, seriously, it is very near E50 in spite the smaller capacity
- the panorama picture stitching is not bad, but more of a novelty
- outlook syncing works with PC suite
- video ringtone is a good addition, but i am not such a big fan of it
- loudspeaker is LOUD, N95 loud
- wap using 3G is fast
- connecting as data does not require to put the phone offline
- there is some sort of backlight diffusion in between the keypad (between 5 and 8, ie top to bottom)that annoys me
- the 2.5 mm stereo headset that came with it decent
- there is no USB cable that came with my pack, but i can use any USB cable anyway
- a 256MB microSD card was included, which is better than nothing and better than 64MB
- for USD270, this thing is a steal...
- this thing is the perfect back-up for the E90... who knows you might end up using it more...

if i may add, i would have done better than this but i am a bit busy at the moment, i need to, i got to earn more to get that E90... :lol:
