Nokia 6102i

I bought this Nokia since my last one was still working after 6+ years. But it was short on contact space and I deserved an upgrade. I've had my 6102i since April and other than some minor scratches on the nav keys (fingernails) I've had no problems with damage. Yes, I've dropped it--- on carpet, wood floor, grass and CONCRETE. No chips, cracks or broken antenna or screen, and it all works fine. I did have the foresight to buy a leather case for it. Battery life is fantastic! 2 days of light use and it still shows all 4 bars. Or wandering around the internet for 4 to 4.5 hours before I get down to 1 bar. I can hear it ring, earpiece volume is good, loudspeaker is loud and reception is great. Vibrate could be better. People tell me it sounds very clear when I talk to them. The only dropped calls have all been to people on the same network. (but I won't use the V word) Keys are a nice size and laid out well. And raised enough for "feel". Radio is nice and reception is good. IR is a nice touch. The camera is pretty basic, but takes decent pictures. Most of the menu is very accessable and intuitive. Some of the submenus ARE a pain. Love the go to menu and nav key shortcuts after I customized them for me. Preloaded tones and graphics are marginal but about anything you need is out there--usually free. CONS --the backlight goes out WAY too quick. The Cingular preloaded links can't be deleted and they use up memory. And I wish it had AT LEAST 10 times the memory AND an SD expansion. I would recommend this phone to Anyone who wants a good, dependable, affordable phone. But they will have to be nice to it. One of the guys I work with actually broke an anvil. And this phone is not that tough. Oh! This was posted from my phone.

Review of Nokia 6012i

Basically, this is a good phone.

Pros

-snooze on the alarm
-you can record a song to make into a ringtone
-very clear speaker phone
-OK camera. nothing special but when on your computer they come out clear
-holds about 90 text messages in the "sent" and "inbox" section EACH
-"go to" list comes in handy and its customizeable
-bluetooth (didnt use that but some like it)
-the infared port is good when you have friends with one because you can send eachother pictures and audio recordings cost free
-able to put a picture in the front screen (kind of squished but takes up whole screen rather than small portion)

Cons

-anteana cover falls off if you grab phone from there too often
-i personally had problems with 2 different 6102i phones where when done with a call it would shut off the phone (maybe a bad batch?)
-not enough memory with only a 4MB. when you have a full inbox/outbox, 15 pics and a few videos then you're pretty much filled up so i was forced to delete some of my games to compensate
-vibrate isnt that strong when in your pocket and walking somewhere because you can't feel it that well

The calendar on the phone is very nice, and has many different types of "things" for each calendar entry such as a reminder, memo, birthday, appointment. etc.

The calculator could be easier to do considering that whenever you want to +-* / you had to go to the calculator menu and select it.

There are many different profile settings, two of them you can name them somethign else besides "normal" or "silent".

If you DO end up buying this phone, make sure that when you first get it change the address book settings to "save to smartCHIP" because other wise it wont get saved to your SIM card. My first phone like this i had it saved to "SIM and Phone".. WRONG. i spilled soda on it one night and assumed my phone numbers would be on the SIM card because of that selection. WRONG AGAIN. I lost 100 so of my numbers and had to ask everyone again. SO lesson is; save it to SIM only.

Nokia 6102i - much better than the original

I owned the 6102 model previously, and I must say Nokia has definitely done a good job upgrading to a more solid model - the 6102i. With the addition of Bluetooth technology, there are also more choices that allow you to customize your phone. The 6102i also has more memory (>4mb as opposed to 3.5 for the 6102). Here are the comparisons between the 6102i and its less-sturdy predecessor.

The 6102i :

1. Has over 4mb of memory, whereas the other has 3.5
2. Of course there is Bluetooth
3. Has different themes installed
4. Has more of a selection of ringtones/alert tones
5. Has more graphics to choose from
6. The keypad on the 6102i is white with colored buttons at the top, which in my opinion is a lot easier to see than the dull blue keypad of the 6102.
7.The menu system seems to be faster (but not much) than the 6102.
8.There is also the addition of the MSN instant messenger application, along with AIM, Yahoo and ICQ.

The 6102i also feels more sturdy than the 6102. the case on the latter came apart too easily, and felt like a flimsy phone to begin with, but the i verson feels a lot more solid and well-made. it is a true "upgrade" from the 6102 in my opinion.

The pros are obvious, but let's talk about the cons. I don't have many qualms with this phone. The one major problem I have is the graphics - when I download a graphic to my phone from anywhere other than Cingular, it saves in a crappy format and won't fit the screen completely. I have tried from several different sources, and to no avail. Maybe Cingular possessed the phone somehow

I've read about people whining about the loudness of the earpiece - I have found that it sounds much better when you activate the "Automatic Volume Control" function.

Overall, this is a great phone - much better than the 6102. I recommend it if you don't want to spend way too much on a more "kickass" phone (some may think the RAZR is worth it - trust me it's not. I traded a RAZR v3 in for the 6102i !!)

6102i Rocks...

This phone is great. I've had a million phones, half being Nokia, which is my favorite brand.

Pros:
Good Camera, on all quality settings, everyone complains that there isn't enough memory, well that't becuase they are too stupid to change it from, HIGH quality, or Normal, or Basic, and I haven't deleted anything from my phone, and I can take 60 pictures on basic.

Radio, I mean come on, that just is awesome.

And A Lot More

Cons:
Shows finger prints like crazy, dont to crime and leave this phone at the scene, the CSI dudes will find you in the time it takes you to read this, I swear you cant even breath on this phone wrong or it shows smudges or scratches, I love Cingular but the 6103 with the rubber on it is definately a better surface.

I'd get this phone again. If I was getting a new phone.

Buyer Beware

I have many different types of cell phones over the years and Nokia has always been my favorite. However, this phone has made be reconsider based on durability. My other Nokia phones have lasted 2 and 3+ years and still had mileage on them when I upgraded. However, after having this one a short 6 months I need to replace it. The reception is fine but the case is very poorly designed and I literally have the case taped together. The case is broken at the antennae and, because of the way the phone is designed, I put more pressure on the area that is weak each and every time I open the phone. When I called Cingular they did state there was a recall on this phone because of "breakage" around the antennae but it is more of a hassel to try and fix it than just hope it holds out for another 6 months. Buyer BEWARE.

Nokia 6102i Problems with Display

This phone has some nice features but there are two display problems I cannot live with.

First is that the backlight on the main diplay turns off after about 20 seconds when you first begin, and once you are in the midst, it turns off about 5 seconds after your last entry. There is no setting to change the length of time the backlight stays on. If I pause to check a phone number I'm dialing, the screen goes dark. If the signal is weak and the phone is taking a little while to connect, the screen goes dark, and I can't see when it's succeeded in connecting.

The second problem is that both screens become distorted if you look at them with polarized sunglasses. This is especially troublesome for driving.

I will return this phone to Cingular and try another.

Nokia 6102i

I Have this phone. And.. yes. I guess it is a good phone to an extent. It does have some good features but the bad things about it are
-I myself do not belive they made this phone much sturdior, I've had mine for about.. 4 months, and, its already falling apart.
-the visuals are good, but the memory to hold the pictures and graphics, are not.
-The ear peice is very soft. even on the highest setting
-The memory on this phone is bad. the memory shows says 4MB... but... i belive that is including the phonebook memory, otherwise, theres only about 2.4 MB of memory

the pros are-
-the picture quality, is better for a phone
-i like the fact that when you close the phone, things don't close which is good
-You can use the camera when the phone is closed
-The battery has VERY long life, i charge the phone maybe every 2 to 3 days


overall. ITs an ALRIGHT phone. I seem to have more problems than I would be willing to endure, however.
i belive that i should start saving for a new phone now.

Nokia 6102i Review

I have gone through dozens of cell phones in my lifetime, yet none have been quite as disappointing to me as the Nokia 6102i.

As the other reviews state, this phone does have some nice features. However, it lacks one very important characteristic--durability.

I like to think I take good care of my phones, but as we all know--accidents happen. I have dropped cell phones (who hasn't?!), but my phones have never broke or been damaged as the result of being dropped--with the exception of the Nokia 6102i! I only had this phone for 2 months when I accidentally knocked it off a countertop, sending it crashing to the floor. Unlike my other phones, which were durable enough to withstand a minor fall such as this, the Nokia 6102i literally cracked on impact (with a hardwood floor), breaking the antenna off and cracking the screen!

Luckily I had insurance on the phone and was able to exchange it for a new one. However, only a couple months after receiving my new Nokia 6102i, it too was dropped, and the antenna was practically busted right off! Over the course of the next month or so the phone got to the point where it was completely unusable. I had to hold the antenna in place each time I made a call, or it would fall off. The top of the phone that holds the antenna piece in place started cracking and falling off randomly. Due to the problem with the antenna, the phone was never able to get more than 1 bar (for service), which resulted in me being unable to use my phone from places I would normally have service (like outdoors), and my calls started dropping randomly.

I had to be soooo careful with this phone, because I knew that the next time I dropped it, it would be done for. Well, sure enough, a few months later, the phone fell off a countertop, literally breaking the phone into 3 pieces. I took the phone to the store I purchased it at, hoping it could somehow be fixed (I was freaked out at the thought of losing hundreds of phone numbers). The guy looked at my phone and shook his head. He said, "I do not recommend these (Nokia) phones to anyone, because this is probably the 20th one I have seen broken like this." He then proceded to take my phone apart. "The screen is completely shot," he informed me. "Im sorry... you'll need to get a new phone."

I have since purchased an LG phone which I am far more happy with. It is extremely durable unlike the Nokia 6102i, which is made of cheap, thin plastic.

Hopefully in writing this review, I can save someone from experiencing the curse of the Nokia 6102i!

Buyer Beware!

Do not buy this phone!

When I first bought this phone I was in love with the sleekness, shine, and camera feature. However I should have done some research becuase I dropped my phone once in the grass and now the camera feature does not work instead it says "Camera On Standby" which makes me furious since i paid $100.00 for it. I would advise you to get something else becuase I could have bought a RAZR or the PEBL with the money I had at the time for a phone. People save your money and get a different phone becuase one drop and the camera never works again, fingerprints show up like crazy, and it has horrible memory! So in conclusion get anything MOTOROLA, in my opinion they are very durable and just easier to understand than a NOKIA. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

this phone is crap.

I've had this phone sense January.and it's total crap.

My outer screen cracked within a month of having it, just from being in my pocket. The case has broken off around the antenna, the gray part around the top of the phone pops off, the black and gray coloring is chipping off so i can actually see the inside of the phone in places, and now it wont charge unless i rig up the charger in juuuust the right position and then tape it in place.

My dad, step mom, and my friend also bought the phone the same time as I did. My step moms phone also has damage to the case, and half of the time it gives her an error saying she has a headset plugged and, so the speaker wont turn on and she can't use the phone. She's never used a headset with it, that error just popped up randomly one day.

My dads phone broke so it wouldn't let him dial out, except it randomly pushed the 5 button all the time, causing him to call the number that was assigned to to speed dial number 5 all the time. He had to send it in and now he's on his third one!

My friends phone broke too, the case around it just crumbled! She had to get 2 replacement phones like this, and now shes given up and had to buy a different model.

All of us are really careful with our phones, I had a tiny LG phone before this that never broke, and i'm much more gentle with this one and it just keeps breaking. Do NOT buy this phone!
