Camera
Seeing as how the Nokia 6133's strengths lie in its vivid screens, the
camera should be as outstanding to make use of this feature, but instead,
it is a pretty standard feature. With video capabilities and fun photo options,
the camera is not deficient, but at 1.3-megapixels, it is rather mediocre.
Users will be pleased to find all the standard bells and whistles: a
self-timer, zoom, white balance, color effects. However, serious digital
photographers will have to look to a separate device for their photo-capturing
needs.
The camera features a number of controls. Users can adjust camera filters,
from Grayscale to False Colors, Sepia, Negative or Solarize. They also have
their choice of Image Quality (Basic, Normal, and High) and Image Settings
ranging from 1024 x 1280 px to 120 x 160px. Images can be previewed for
0, 3, 5, or 10 seconds, and stored in the phone or on a memory card. There
is no flash on the camera, but there is a night setting for low light, a
rather poor substitute.
The video camera also has a variety of choices. The consumer can choose
Quality (Basic, Normal, High), Resolution (176 x 144 px and 128 x 96 px)
and Length. The video can be as large as your internal memory or additional
microSD can support.
The Nokia 6133 rises just above average with its 1.3-megapixel lens,
no flash, and video capabilities. Though it is not meant for serious photographers,
the phone offers the basic tools for a fun video and camera phone experience.
Basic Features
The Nokia 6133 is certainly most functional as a phone. It has standard
call features and contacts storage that should meet all calling needs. Released
for T-Mobile, the it features GSM quad-band (850 / 900/ 1800 / 1900 Mhz)
technology, permitting the use of the handset on compatible GSM networks
in North America, Europe and Asia, provided it has been unlocked.
Nokia offers its usual straightforward menu options and calling choices
that make the 6133 simple to navigate without ever having to read the manual.
The time and date can be set for both the internal and external displays,
and the consumer has a choice to customize the wallpaper and screensaver
for both screens as well.
The basic phone features are clear, and the easy-to-use speakerphone
is prompted on any given call by pressing the top right key. The sound on
most calls is clear, though somewhat distant. The 6133 can perform most
calling basics such as call waiting, forwarding, and voice command.
The 6133 allows for access to T-Zones and the use of T-Mobile's new myFaves
service, which offers unlimited nationwide calling to five U.S. phone numbers.
