I purchased this phone new on Ebay to replace a Samsung SGH-497. This phone has camera-video capability and bluetooth. Since I don't have a bluetooth computer, I purchased a CA-42 serial cable on Ebay for about $5 to use with the Nokia 6102i. The phone takes fun little 640x480 pictures. I like being able to download the pictures without incurring charges from my service provider using the CA-42 cable and Nokia PC Suite software; the latest version is available free from Nokia.com. To get the software to "see" the phone, you have to go to Settings...Manage Connections...Serial(CA-42)...and then pick the correct COM Port number. I find the video to be useless. It's low quality. Ringtones are easy change using the cable and any suitable midi file you want to use--again no need to incur charges from the service provider. One annoying problem with this flip phone is that the keys are easily activated when the phone is closed. There is an option to lock the keys. The Samsung never had this problem and I never had to lock the keys. In conclusion, I like being able to take a quick little photo wherever I have my phone. I like being able to transfer the photo to my computer for free. I like being able to use any midi file for a ring tone for free. The Samsung is a fine basic phone that did what it did fine and no more. The Nokia 6102i phone has more features, the most important being able to configure the phone using the Nokia software, CA-42 cable, and my computer.Read full review
I bought this phone to replace my POS Razr (cingular compatable version). After going through 3 Razr's with much dissappointment (each lasted less than 2 months then broke), I went back to Nokia. Overall I am happy with this phone after the 2 months or so I have had it. I really like the fact that it has a recorder on the phone and you can record voices, etc. and then use them as ringtones. The camera is eay to use and seems to take decent quality pics for a phone. All in all the phone is pretty good. The only thing I can think of that I'm not surper happy with is the durability of the plastic body on the phone. It seems thin and easy to break - we'll see. Also the phone doesn't open up to as large of an angle as the Razr did so it makes it harder to hold between your neck and ear if you are trying to do other things wile talking. But, the speakerphone is loud enough to put it down and continue the conversation in this case. *EDIT* As of December 2006 (a month after writing this 1st review) my phone screens died. Yes - both of them. The large inside screen as well as the smaller screen on the outside. About 3 weeks after that happend the phone turned off one day, never to be turned on again. I tried charging it for hours and it would never boot up again. This very well could be because I bought it off an idividual here (eBay), and not in a store, but who knows. It could have done the same thing if I bought it in a store. I would have been able to return it if I bought it in a store though... I have changed the rating to average from good because of this.Read full review
What do I need a phone for? Making phone calls and sending text messages. I also like to be able to sync it with my address book, and work when I travel. Far too many phones are just too complicated. I took a hammer to my brand new Nokia 6650 because it drove me around the bend within 10 minutes and bought this oder phone instead. I couldn't even find calls received under the 600 menus levels. Nokia are like Apple - logical menus, simple to use. If you want to use a phone for what it is meant for get this one if you can't find a 6320i
Disclaimer: Technical types will not find this review useful. Chief complaint: Voice Quality so poor as to be unintelligible much of the time. Details: My Nework :Cingular (used to be known as AT&T)- My calling range: S.F. Bay area. On my Nokia 6102i, All the voices have an oscillating, underwater quality, and often an underlay of static as well. It's so bad, I avoid using the phone. I was forced into switching after my analog phone finally died. I 'd assumed reception depends more on the network than the device, but I don't really know. I DO KNOW that I enjoyed perfectly clear reception with my old Nokia model using the SAME provider I still use... Looking for a new phone now. Meanwhile, at least there's no chance of any overages. It takes only seconds to say "I'll have to call you back on a land line." Since I really only use it as a telephone, I'm not qualified to judge the bells and whistles. I'll just mention that straight out of the box, it seemed easier to find myself in the "Cingular Mall," (where they sell ring tones, etc.), than to find and set up features I would have used most, (and already pay for) such as the speaker phone and speed and voice dialing. But I might have been able to fix this using a nifty application which allows you to program your own SHORTCUTS into the menu. This was my first time using a camera phone. Among its drawbacks; it's hard to see your subject in the screen (no viewfinder)-especially in sunlight. And you can't download photos except over the internet (for a fee.) It won't replace my digital camera, but I've found that any gadget that makes it possible (easy, in fact) to turn grandchildren into screensavers is one I don't want to be without!Read full review
Small clamshell phone with great PDA like features using an inexpensive data cable; calendar, calculator, to-do list, voice memo, etc. Can sync with MS Outlook and exceed the 250 numbers capacity manufacturer says it can store. I have over 700 contacts in mine. Also, FM radio feature is great for any area on the planet and events broadcasted via FM stations in closed circuits. Bluetooth, VGA camera with video capture, medium sized numbered buttons, powerful and clear speakerphone, long battery life, sturdy clamshell hinge, excellent signal reception even inside buildings with signal jammers, etc. I've used it for years, my mother now uses it and has an easy to navigate menu for her. Fits anywhere and has survived some pretty nasty falls onto pavement and concrete. Parts are simple to replace and find online. Simple, durable and relaible phone, but doesn't make coffee.Read full review
