My mother in-law loves the older, simpler phones. Her last nokia 6010 lasted 10 years! This one will do, but the battery did not hold a charge and had to buy a new battery. No problem really, it was only $7. thanks
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The phone is in great condition and was a good price, but the battery is a dead battery that will not hold a charge. I have tried to call the seller numerous times with no luck. I had to get on line and order a battery from another site. Not real pleased.

I am an out-of-contract T-Mobile user. I've been using a Nokia 5300 MusicXpress phone that has provided terrible call quality, and was going to drop T-Mobile as a provider, until the TM customer rep suggested this phone with its wi-fi capabilities. What I like about it... The UMA (wi-fi) capabilities. This phone, once networked with my home network security code, automatically hooks up to the wifi in my house to make phone calls. I DO NOT pay for T-Mobile's @Home service, nor am I being charged for minutes I use over the wi-fi connection. I have a very basic plan and was told I would need to upgrade to a smartphone with a @Home plan of $10 extra per mo to use wi-fi, but this is not so. At least not if you have the right firmware installed. I purchased a recycled (used) phone that apparently has the right firmware edition - I won't be upgrading it for fear of messing this up! The weight and size of the phone are nice, and the body of the phone is metal. I like that it has a charging stand too. The navigation is easy to use and texting on the phone is very easy. Voice recognition is also a cool feature. Hookup your bluetooth headset and it takes you through the set-up. Seems very intuitive and certainly easy to learn to use this phone. What I don't like... The camera. Forget about using it. Photo quality is very poor - cloudy, grainy - and yes, I cleaned the lens. Its internal memory is only 30mb, and I will have to hunt down the 'how to' notes for adding SD memory - although I don't see a slot for it. No MP3 player, but it does have a FM radio built in. There are a few other phones that you can get with UMA capabilities that don't require the @Home service, but after researching them a bit I went with the reviews and selected this one. I'm glad I did, as it does what I wanted it to do: gives me free wi-fi calls off my home network with clear call quality for both me and the recipient of those calls.Read full review
Sep 2010 I rely on Tmobile's hotspot at home service to get cell service inside my house where otherwise there is almost no cell reception. When my Samsung Katalyst died recently, it was disappointing to see the only Tmobile UMA (hotspot) phones sold new or refurbished are smartphones. I want a plain jane phone. Also, a phone is something that's easy to lose, break, or drop into water so why spend a few hundred on it? So paying less than $100 for a used phone even if I have to buy a replacement battery makes sense. After reviewing all the models phone models Tmobile supported for UMA, it looked like the Kayalyst and the Nokia 6301 were the best models. I had the Katalyst for almost two years and was used to it, but it has these problems: - No menu customization (every day it took about 15 keypresses to set the alarm) - Crippled bluetooth (only connected with headsets) - Slider would collect junk and it was sometimes hard to open - Speakerphone had limited volume - Proprietary headset connection, lousy OEM headset Otherwise it was a good phone I've had the Nokia 6301 for almost a month, here is my consideration of it: 6301 Pros - Smaller - Great bright display - Fully customizable user buttons - Superior sound quality to the Katalyst - Great speakerphone, good volume - Has standard headphone plug and standard USB plug - Great support from Nokia for PC file transfer and firmware updates - The charger stand is convenient 6302 Cons - Poor battery life. Needs recharging daily (on a new battery) - Keys are a bit small, requires attention as to not hit wrong key BIGGEST CON: Issues with wifi. 6301 has a history of problems connecting to wifi but those appear to be resolved now. Every now and again (usually in the evening) I will get transient cell signal inside the house, especially in my bedroom. Sometimes over the course of an hour I'll see the phone connected to cellular, then back on wifi, then back on cellular, then it won't go back to wifi. I have to try a series of things, turning wifi capabiilty on/off, restarting phone, restarting router, which always gets it back on. Problem is if I don't notice it was off wifi, there is a period of time where I'm disconnected from network completely or worse, I'll start a call on cellular and it will just drop quickly. - This problem is tolerable... I don't leave the phone near my bedroom window and this hasn't been an issue. Comparison with Katalyst The pros of the 6301 well outweigh it's cons. The user interface and hardware interface are so much nicer than Katalyst that it's well worth it. I can deal with the battery life and wifi-cellular issue. You may want to select a Katalyst if: - You need battery life of more than 1 day - You cannot deal with small buttons - You get cell reception intermittentlyRead full review
When eBay asked me to write a review on the Nokia 6010 cell phone I was rather surprised. Then it dawned on me that I did indeed have enough information to write an important review for those who lived where there was poor reception. The first mass production of cell phones was those huge bag phones. We have a small cabin on the Suwannee River and a remote house in the foothills of the Ozarks in Arkansas. I was also traveling around Florida to various professional meetings. For a little old lady, that bag phone became my security blanket to get help if I broke down. My first big bag phone could handle most of the phone calls but there were still some “dead” areas. Our cell phone service forced us into the small cell phones when the analog service was upgraded to the new standards. I still keep my old bag for in the car for emergency. It has the most power. My husband upgraded to the earlier version of the 6010 and just about always got good reception. I went for a much nicer smaller cell phone with great graphics and a speaker phone. After a year of dropped calls, garbled calls and no calls, I was ready to throw that cute little phone at the clerk in the cell phone store. So I paid off my contract and bought a larger phone – but not the 6010 -. still had dropped calls, etc. Finally, I bit the bullet and bought that larger yucky 6010 on eBay with the poor quality graphics, no speaker phone, no camera, BUT I now get my phone calls and can hear them!! If you travel off the main roads, or even live in a part of town where the reception is very poor (that’s me, too) then you should seriously consider trying the 6010. It’s not perfect but it appears to be better than the fancy ones for reliable reception. For one thing it has a more powerful battery. Now, purchasing my Nokia 6010 on eBay is another long, long, long story. But buying an UNLOCKED phone on eBay is cheaper, as far as I am concerned, than giving in to those contracts with the service providers.Read full review
