tough luck

Oct 27, 2006

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: classy clamshell design, nice interface, good feature sets
Cons: short batt life(as what a lot of people say), buggy,poor image quality for a 1.3 megapixel,
Opinion:
got this phone the other day but had to return it the next day because the screen suddenly turns off on its own. i tried restarting it by removing the battery but as soon as i turn the phone on,the same problem occurs. another problem is, the camera doesn't work at all. for the third time that i tried restarting it, it wont turn on. what disappoints me the most is the customer support. nokia's policy doesn't include phone replacement when a faulty product is returned w/in 24 hours. the product is obviously defective when i purchased it, but it seems like "it's even my fault i bought a faulty product". what a very bad after-sales service!

too bad, the phone could've been really good if not for the defects.

 

a stylish business phone that needs more battery life

Oct 21, 2006

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: small and a very good main screen; compact and expandable memory
Cons: bleow average battery life, too much noise in the pictures taken by the built in camera
Opinion:
I was really enticed by the elegance and simplicity of the phone. The addition of micro sd slot was great that made me decide to immediately buy my own unit when it came out here in the Philippines. After a couple of days of using, there came my disappointment with the unit. First, battery life is too short for you to maximize and enjoy the multimedia features of the phone like the music player and the camera. Next, there were too much noise in the pictures taken by the phone and needs very good lighting condition for you to have pcitures good for printing. I was hoping that the loudspeaker would be of good sound quality. It is just disappointing that the phone did not come with a 3D sound speaker. Finally, if the phone targets the professionals who are on the go, they could have at least increased the internal phone memory. For people who would have to ... Read more

 

Stylish Phone

Aug 20, 2006

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Small, Comfortable, Vibrant Screen, Feature-rich
Cons: Pop port located on top
Opinion:
This phone is absolutely the best phone I have owned hand down! I've had the V3 Razr before and this phone blows that away. This phone's screen is abso absolutely amazing, the colors are crisp and clear. The camera is average, certainly could have been better. One thing I do not like about this phone is the pop port is located on top and it is hard to open sometimes. Anyway, I would recommend people to buy this clamshell, its simply amazing.

 

nice 1 nokia, solid product

Jul 1, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: solid interface, good specs all round
Cons: buttons seem a bit flimzy, chrome border around kepad could be better, camera is average
Opinion:
My first flip-phone and nokia, so naturally it's all a new experience.
This had all the features i wanted in a phone, BT, IR, high res screens reponsive/intuitive software. Camera was quite grainy but this isn't so important.
The first one i picked up was a bit of a lemon, the '*' key wasn't quite as responsive as all the rest of the buttons - had to press a little harder and sometimes didn't even register. I'm thinking this was just unlucky since Nokia quality is generally pretty good. Took it back and got a replacement - good as gold!
The phone is wider than what i'm used to, its a pretty fat phone but not objectionable, certainly good for people with bigger digits like me. Of course this gives more space for generously sized buttons. Theres a good feedback when you predd down on the keypad, but feels a little flimsy to me when not pressed.
The chrome ... Read more

 

Fabulous!

Jun 14, 2006

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Large screen with 16M colors, bluetooth ver2.0 fast transfer of files, 128MB std mini SD card....
Cons: None - I cant find any except maybe onboard phone memory could be more...
Opinion:
Honestly, this model is one of the more worth owning flips from a company whose strength is not in this arena.
6131 has all the mid to high end-user's demand in mind. One thing to note is that the interface is highly customizable with themes, wallpapers, icons. The series 40 interface is just too amazing with 16M colors. However, the camera could have been a 2MP, but nonetheless, its a flip worth considering.
