Connectivity

With Bluetooth and infrared capabilities, the 6103 is a well connected device. Able to transfer data within a 10 meter range, the Bluetooth protocol allows users to pair the 6103 between other peripheral devices such as headsets, car handsfree systems, PCs, printers, PDAs, and digital cameras. As the already-popular Bluetooth standard grows even more popular, more and more devices in a wide range of industries are adopting the standard.

Conclusion

Overall the Nokia 6103 is little changed from the 6101, offering similar design, imaging, and audio features. While many devices have improved features, the 6103 is a bit disappointing with outdated technology. But being similar is not such as bad thing, especially when the 6101 was a well-built device with solid features.

Straying from its predecessor, the 6103 is updated with Bluetooth wireless technology. Combined with its infrared port, the 6103 has an impressive set of connectivity features. But perhaps the greatest strength is its usability. While neither ultra-thin nor extra-small, the 6103 offers a conservative and intuitive design.

Features such as dual color screen, FM radio, and J2ME offer a good multimedia package on the road, but lack in comparison to high-end device focusing on camera, music, or video technology. Priced as a mid-level device, the 6103 is built for a different set of consumers who desire a good value rather than all the bells and whistles.

For those looking for specialized device, the 6103 is not it. But for consumers who want a well-designed phone at an affordable price, the 6103 is an excellent choice.
