Nokia 6100

...1. Messages As always, Nokia have hit the nail bang on the head in this department. The predictive text is very easy to use - use the * to cycle through the options for the combination of letters you have selected and # to toggle the predictive text on or off. If a word isn’t recognised you can add it to the dictionary for the next time you want to use it. The buttons are nicely spread and easy to press making speed texting pretty easy. The capacity ...
...up anymore. On the older Nokia phones the alarms are really loud and on some you can even set a ring tone as your alarm, but the phone I have works on polyphonic ring tones and they just aren’t as loud. Just in case it does wake you up and you want that extra few minutes you can always hit the snooze button! 6. Gallery There are two default galleries where you can store ring tones or images. There is a fair selection to choose from in both but ...

Review of Nokia 6100

I am a Nokia fan. For me a mobile phone is just that - a phone which I can carry about with me to speak to people whilst away from home or my desk at work. A mobile phone (for me) on the other hand is NOT a Gameboy, a hi-fi music system, TV or video camera. Grudgingly I can see a use for a digital still picture mode on a phone, after all you do not carry about a camera with you all the time, whereas most of us these days do not leave home without ...
...That is why I'm a Nokia fan. My first Nokia was the brilliant (in its day) 5130, big by todays standards but it did exactly what I expected a phone to do and very little more. It is still in perfect working order today, seven years later, never cost me a penny in repairs, nor has the battery been replaced. The main reason I replaced it with the still unique 7110, was that the newer phone had a slide cover over the keypad (I would never buy another ...

Review of Nokia 6100

...... sorry :) The Nokia 6100 is my current phone. Before I bought it, I knew exactly what features I required from a new phone. I was travelling to Canada, so I knew that I would require a triband phone. I knew that I wanted to access the net on my laptop, on the move via GPRS. The Nokia 6100 is capable of both of these, and was available on my preferred network (Orange). I am pleased with the phone, it's an attractive two-tone silver design and ...
...of this review. The Nokia 6100 features an easy to navigate menu, as with other Nokias in this range. Once the menu is open, you are able to use the thumb button to scroll through the options, or to speed things up, the number pad buttons can be used as shortcuts. The menu is very clear, thanks to the chunky graphics and large text on the Nokia 6100's colour screen. The screen can display up to 8 lines of standard text. Text messaging is very easy. ...

Review of Nokia 6100

...I was upgrading from a Nokia 3210, which I had loved, and travelled far with, but the battery had long since died, and it was time to move on. My emotional attachment to my old phone meant that I had some steep demands for any replacement. I feel that these were to some extent met in my Nokia 6100, and on the whole I am pleased with this phone. Looks This is a big factor with any mobile, and the slim, sleek appearance of this phone was a big draw ...
...everyone seemed to have the Nokia 3510, so I stayed well away from that one. I don't have any sort of case for my phone, but it has done really well and has never got damaged, despite a fairly average amount of time being shoved in my bag (with keys) and the odd incident where I've dropped it... It's not exactly indestructable, but I would rate this as a reasonably hard-wearing phone. Battery As with any battery opperated product, it is important ...

Review of Nokia 6100

The nokia 6100 is a small phone with many modern capabilities such as wap, gprs and inferred. Unfortunately it does not have a camera and but can receive pictures and sound media as long as it is polyphonic.As you can guess the ring tones have to be polyphonic and the ring tones that come with the phone are quite basic. The phone also has "profiles" where you can change the volume etc of the phone to suit your surroundings. The phone vibrates when ...
...can be used for other nokia phones and unlocking actually adds value to the phone! So if you want a stylish phone which isn't very durable but has all of these features you may be able to buy them new or buy a second hand one and get it unlocked (they are going for about £30 on ebay) you can get it unlocked. Great for a teenagers first phone as it teaches them to respect there property with it being so fragile! ...

Review of Nokia 6100

...that could replace the mighty Nokia 8310. This time I was looking for a phone on contract rather than splashing out a load of money for a phone then having to pay for credit each week. Also i was a bit tight for money being a student and all so it had to be free. And I do admit it was a bit too much to pay three hundred pound for a phone but hey you can’t take your money with you. I saw a few that I liked and dismissed many more and finally decided ...
...also a good addition that nokia has always incorporated into there menu navigation is the ability to choose a menu by pressing a number that corresponds to that menu, if you know if of the top of your head that is. In my eyes the phone is also better looking than the 8310 but some people may disagree but it doesn’t matter because this is my opinion. Sorry about that went a bit crazy. The battery time is another string to its bow as it is tiny but ...

Review of Nokia 6100

Having had the Nokia 8310 for over a year, I was starting to get bored and fancied a change. I went into the Carphone Warehouse where my friends worked as this is the most reliable way for me to get an honest opinion how great a phone was. After looking at the huge range available, I was down to two phones which I couldn’t decide between, the Siemens SL55 and the Nokia 6100. I was leaning towards the Siemens when I was informed that they were ...
...little handbags! As with most Nokia phones, it has interchangeable fascias with the standard coming in blue, silver or beige. The screen display is in colour but for battery saving purposes, after two minutes of no action, the screen will go blank and display the time in bold lettering. The delay can be changed according to your own desired time limit. The keypad design is slightly different as there is a four way scroll key which can take some time ...

Review of Nokia 6100

...pining to return to the Nokia i know and love. There are some features in a Nokia that are so useful to me and i didn't realise that i used them so much until they weren't there anymore! I chose the Nokia 6100 because it was sleek and slim and could fit into my pocket easily! I'm not a girl that likes to lug a handbag round unless i have to and so my phones have to be able to fit into my pocket. When looking at Nokia phones, this was the one that ...
...means that everytime the standard nokia text tune goes off, you know it's not your phone for a change and you can leave other people diving into their bags, only to find it was someone else that got a text. When texting there are loads of options! You can text using the predictive text messaging, which i love to use because its quick and easy and you can add any new words to the dictionary so they come up in future. You can also text the standard ...

Review of Nokia 6100

The Nokia user interface had been calling me, ever since I had strayed and used a Sony Ericsson T68i. Taking advantage of a low-cost upgrade available from Vodafone, I came back to the fold and put the 6100 in my top pocket. Appearance =============== This phone is very small, light and neat. In silver with white plastic backing, it is a pretty hand-set with an easy to read display and keys which respond easily with the familiar Nokia pressure. ...
...find out, but I think Nokia missed the opportunity here when they decided not to include one). There are downloadable games from the Nokia website and some more available from independent games companies. The phone is Triband and GPRS enabled - all very useful when you are trying to penetrate a British corporate firewall from a bar in Texas! A decent subsrition will give you access to command line interfaces to Vodafone Live (VFL) services. This ...

Review of Nokia 6100

...the world of a new Nokia 6100, on the Vodafone network. I say this, as last December I moved house, and my Ericsson T68 on Orange became suddenly useless, as the reception was about as good as a very poor persons wedding. A couple of weeks ago I went out and got a Three video phone, the NEC e606, from the Carphone Warehouse. Two weeks later and I was almost in tears with how useless it really was, and subsequently went back to the store, sobbing ...
...the Nokia 6100 instead. And it works! For the first time in 7 months I can make and receive phone calls at home! Now, I just need to make some friends so they can call me... Anyway, I thought it's been a while since I last wrote an op on anything on Ciao, so decided to write one now. Unfortunately there are already 5 other ops on the 6100, so to make this one a little different, I've written this op in the style of Channel 4's Big Brother (how topical?). ...

Review of Nokia 6100

I never use any Nokia phones, 6100 is the first Nokia phone that I ever use. One thing that I noted about Nokia's is that they are easy to operate but have limited functions. Another interesting function of Nokia's is that there case is changeable Well I was using Sony Erisson when my friend requested me to replace it with Nokia 6100 and I agreed because it was a great set. I like its finest screen and its bright colors. ========== OUTLOOK ========== ...

Review of Nokia 6100

...believer in the fact that Nokia make the best user friendly menus in the entire cell phone industry the 6100 is a loyal friend. As well as all the usuals; messages, call register, profiles, settings, games and services etc. it also comes with a: Gallery (to look through all your downloaded tones and pictures) Organiser (an electronic diary where you can store birthdays, meetings, anniversaries with a message and alarm if you so choose) Extras ...
...camera phone by attaching the Nokia camera (£40) to the underside. Saves on weight and size of your mobile so I think its great! ~~~~Conclusion~~~~ Overall this phone is awesome. Its sleek, light, cool, easy to use and you can use it as a camera. Without a doubt one of the best phones you can get! Go get one! So now if you'll excuse me, I've got a call to make. ...

Review of Nokia 6100

The Nokia 6100 was a replacement to my Samsung S300 (which my wonderful fiancée decided to put in the washing machine). The S300 was a great phone with great ringtones & a high quality screen. However, there was one small problem with it (apart from not having an extendable T9 dictionary)... it wasn't a Nokia!! No matter what phones I've had in the past (Motorola, Bosch, Sagems, Samsung) I've always gone back to Nokia. Not only is it the assured ...
...etc available for Nokias. If you are after a phone which will make you stand out in the crowd, this probably isn't for you. But if you need a phone that does what you need it to do & more, you can’t go wrong. The colour screen copes well with any pictures & all the games look as good as you would expect. The handsfree option really makes this phone. The quality of the sound when on handsfree is nearly equal to that of normal use & you don’t find ...

Review of Nokia 6100

I have been a faithful Nokia cell phone user since I began using cell phones about four years ago. My latest venture into the world of Nokia is the 6100 cell phone, as my trusty 3330 was getting a little tired. I admit it, I’m a chick and was initially attracted by the appearance of this phone rather than the features ;) It is just so darned cute! The appearance: The Nokia 6100 is the smallest Nokia produced at the moment being about 76 g (battery ...
...It is pretty expensive compared to other phones (sorry, can’t give exact prices in pounds, but here in Switz it is one of the more pricey phones), but I am a firm believer that you often get what you pay for and Nokia products are generally worth the price. ...

Review of Nokia 6100

...I changed from a nokia 8310 to this, my old phone used to freeze up but this one doesnt, so it looks as though theyve cleared up the software glitch. DOWNLOADS. Plenty of these to be had (at a cost of course) normally cost about £3 depending on which website you goto, or whether you connect straight upto your service providers wap, i find the nokia club the best website, this site has polyphonic ringtones (which you can use with this phone) screensavers, ...
...to be the best phone nokia wise on the market at the moment. EXTRAS. As in other reviews ive read it doesnt come with alot of games (only 1 in fact) this is a rubbish chess game, you either have to get someone in check in 1 move or get out of check in 1 move, suffice to say i dont both with this game. CONCLUSION. I bought my phone via orange on the internet, was an easy online form to fill in, 2 days later my phone was here, just inserted the sim ...
