...other model) and finally, the Nokia 6111 came up on my upgrade list. She cost me a mere £20, although I'm sure she would be free for new subscribers. And she isn't yet available on pay as you go. My little 6111 says I'm cutting edge, on a contract, and have to wait 12 months before I get another new phone, but at least I won't have to shove someone elses socks down my pants!!

My phone (wooohoooo!), battery, charger, loads of bumph I will never ever read (sigh!) and the radio earphones. There is no memory card as with the 6230, the memory on this baby is all internal! ...

Advantages: Stylish, lightweight, elegant, lots of fun and interesting features. Bluetooth enabled. Disadvantages: Not very rugged or durable.
...soon as I held the Nokia 6111 in my hands, I knew it was something special. In fact, you can tell that from a mile away. The fact is, it's a great phone, with most of the features you'll ever need, but make sure you look at it often, because if you drop it from a reasonable height onto a hard surface, it may not survive.
When you switch the phone on, it flashes with several colours of lights and you hear the Nokia tune. This is probably normal for ... ...trying to say though. The Nokia 6111 contains many features of the average mobile phone and more. It has a megapixel camera, which is also capable of video capture. The quality of the photos are good, which are colourful and sharp, but still not digital camera standard. The video function works well and produces a reasonably good video quality. You can easily distinguish between what everything is in the video, but again, don't expect digital camera ...

Advantages: Lots Disadvantages: Setting up sim card and battery is a bit tricky
...and there it was the nokia 6111... the pink one.
I had a quick look at the information booklet included and worked out how to insert the sim card and battery, i found both of these quite tricky to do but it was worth it. It was annoying having to charge it up for however many hours before i could explore the phone properly (but then you need to do this with all mobile phones). This christmas i'd have had the Nokia 6111 for a year, I have dropped ... ...after I got the pink nokia I saw exactly the same phone in a baby blue colour and i liked that colour too... though the pink one is prettier looking. I think I'll be keeping this phone for a while yet as i've had no problems with it. ...

Advantages: Compact, small and relatively easy to use, fantastic camera. Disadvantages: Small keypad buttons for big fingers.
Appearance:
The first thing you notice abot the 6111 is that when it is in it's compact form there are only 6 buttons visable. These allow you to do just about anything, including calling out, playing games, changing settings and most other functions of the phone. So why does it have a keypad? Simply to enter new numbers and for text messaging. Is this a good thing? Yes, this makes the phone look very stylish and reasonably simple to use, as the ... ...everything. Messaging: The phone has the ability to create the following;
-Text Messages
-Multimedia Messages
-Flash Messages
-Audio Messages
When sending a text message, there are a range of emoticons, rather than just arranged symbols. The phone allows you to have up to three messages linked as one message. The tool used for writing and sending text messages, is very simple, it allows the user to first select a recipient and then to write ...

Advantages: Small, compact and easy to use Disadvantages: Feels quite plastic and flimsy, and what happened to standard Nokia chargers?
...releasing the hugely successful 6230i, Nokia spent a long time concentrating on 3G handsets and budget pay as you go phones rather than the middle ground of the market. Then came along the 6111. Hallelujah! Finally, Nokia fans had something decent and affordable to upgrade to. Gone were the days of mobile phone sellers like myself recommending 6230i's to people who already had 6230i's and having no other mid-range Nokia as a backup option.
Features-wise, ... ...songs.
Still, it's different. Nokia haven't done much in the way of slide phones, and this one is small and sleek and appealing. The software, as always, is very user-friendly, although there have been a couple of layout changes (eg text messaging) compared with previous models.
Unfortunately, it feels quite flimsy and the buttons are very...plastic. I own a Samsung D600 and the build quality seems so much better than the 6111's I've worked with. ...

I have had this phone for about two years now and it has done the job that at it is required to do. Although, this phone does have flaws. The memory size was a big dissapointment, especially as it is not compatible with memory SD cards. This means there is no possible way of increasing the memory size. When I purchased this phone it was envied by all my friends...now not so much. Personally I do not feel this is a bad phone , but technology is improving ... ...you can get. I think it is good value for money and is definetley not one of the most basic phones you can get. I think the look is quite good in the pink version but it is very thick, unlike the sleek fashionable ones around . This may not be the phone to have if you want the latest ,most cool phone around but very good for practical uses. This is not a bad purchase, I assure you. ...

Review of Nokia 6111
Advantages: packed with features - standard easy to navigate Nokia menu - good games - polyphonic and real tones - good camera Disadvantages: battery life - build quality - video playback
...finally bid farewell to my Nokia 6111 after only 6 months of heavy use and I have to say I won't be buying another in a hurry having opted to stay with the Nokia brand but a different model, the Nokia 8800.
The phone is very sleek and sexy. It fits in the palm of my hand being only 8cm long, 4cm wide and 2cm deep. It is compact and oozes class. The size has been reduced significantly due to the screen being placed on a sliding mechanism over the ... ...a set of scales the Nokia website reliably informs me that it weighs only 92 grams.
Specification:

The TFT screen is 3 x 3.5cm and can display 262,144 colours which compliment the picture messaging and camera perfectly. All of the pictures I have taken using the built in camera are fantastic and on a par with a mid priced digital camera and the flash ...

Standby / Talk time / Charging
The standby time on this phone is quite reasonable it is 7-10 days. The talk time is up to 2h 30 min - 3 h 30 min. The phone is really quick to fully charge it only takes 1h 10 min.

It would have got 10/10 if it had larger memory. It is slightly expensive it costs about £200. But I suppose you get what you pay for!!

...is an easy to use Nokia with simple features in not giving it a bad review but it does have its down side so im not giving it an amazing one.
I think it all depends what you want it for. An amazing camera phone - no - but it is quite a funky one. A cheap phone to get you many features - no - it is £130+ without a contract and therfore does not fall into the 'cheap' catagory.
A funky little phone for soemone who wants something girly - yes- it does ...

Advantages: Simple and effective, easy to naviagate and long lasting Disadvantages: none found
Having had this mobile phone for over a year I have found it both easy to use and extremely durable. Having dropped it on numerous occasions I am pleased to say it has always worked afterwards with extremely little visual damage.

To look at the phone is small and petite and has a sophisticated design that is simple but effective. Having a choice of three colours to chose from (pink, black and white) makes the phone perfect for anyone ... ...The buttons under the sliding face are not too small and are ideally positioned for those with larger fingers and the numbers are not too small for those with poorer eye-sight.
The three extra buttons down the side of the phone make turning the volume up and down fast and simple aswell as accessing the camera and video mode possible within one click.
The up, down, left and right cursor can be used to access any of the options within the menu and ...

...minutes before finally showing the Nokia logo, at which point I would have to wait for several minutes again for the phone and SIM to be fully functional. Then before long it started turning itself off at random times. It would go through phases of this; for a few days it would do that every hour or so, sometimes more frequently, sometimes less, then it wouldn't do it again for a few weeks. When it was doing this, it would turn off, then when turned ... ...Thankfully, since then I bought a Nokia 7373 which I had been consistantly happy with, so I won't allow this to taint my view of Nokia too much, and I will continue to give them my custom, but I would advise anyone to steer clear of this particular model. ...

I got the Nokia 6111 in January this year and have had it for 5 months. I generally love Nokia phones as they are good quality and long lasting. This is by far the worst Nokia phone I have had and cannot wait to change it. Advantages:
The phone is small and light. I have a pink and silver one which is very cool and girly. Having a slidy front is practical and easy to use as well as less likely to break - as opposed to a flip phone. as with all nokias ... ...you would expect
in conclusion i have been very disappointed by this mobile phone, especially in comparison to my previous robust nokia phones. I have had nothing but problems with it and would only recommend for someone who wants a pretty looking phone but doesnt use it that much. ...

Advantages: Very small Disadvantages: Cant use standard Nokia chargers, Slider sometimes cuts people off
...discreet but for me the Nokia 6111 is just missing something. I've had four different Nokia phones on contract over the last few years with the last one being a Nokia 6630. One of the advantages for me was that everytime I got a new phone, I could still use the previous chargers, hands free kits and data cables to connect with my new phone. Not this time, even the phone charger is different using a much smaller connector so my little collection of ... ...as it was the best Nokia upgrade I was offered and I wanted a smaller phone but having used it for a couple of months, I've decided to go back to my Nokia 6630 which has a bigger screen, a better interface and is a Symbian (series 60) phone as I think the Nokia 6111 is missing something. If you just want a smart, small phone primarily to make calls then give this one a go, it's just not for me. ...

...pink, and have always found Nokia phones so easy to get on with, so when this phone came out I HAD TO HAVE IT. Even when I spent all my wages on it, I was pleased. It was a trendy phone, still a Nokia, small so it didnt look like I was carrying bricks around in my pockets. It easily fit into the palm of my hand, and only weighed in at about 95grams.

The video camera picture does not have as high a quality as the photographs, and is also slightly jerky, but not bad. But what can you expect from a phone. Roaming:
The phone can be used across many countries. I have taken my phone to Tenerife, France and Germany.
