Nokia 6030 (Unlocked)

just a darn good little phone..the best one nokia has come out with yet...

not too plain..not to fancy...and easy on the eyes..

comfy lil' thang with just the right amount of " I need " bundled with it.

Its very small and light, good battery life, not to expensive and the display screen is very bright but not bright enough to hurt the eyes. It is just right and i personally feel it is a great buy.

This non-camera phone comes with disappointing functions as compared to other phones from within similar price ranges.

Even though this phone might be a nice looking phone to look at; A well designed keypad, a great 4 way scroll key and configurable right and left soft keys. All of the basics are present and in addition to that some extras are here as well like the FM radio (YAY!) and an inegrated handsfree speaker. The display has 65k colours (Yay!!) which makes it better than many of its competitors.

Right, lets take a moment to talk about the cons. I have learned with other phones that a great looking phone is not necessarily a great phone!
Compared to the competition, this phone may at times seem to be slighlty overpriced for what you actually get. This phone does not offer you any sort of Bluetooth, infra-red or usb cable connectivity. There is no triband and not even an integrated camera! And considering the little funtionality, this phone should not be considered a lightweight.

Think twice before buying this phone!

I love this cell phone. It is not only good looking but it is also useful and very strong. Very reliable and very simple to use. Recommended!!

For those who dislike flip phones and have no need for a camera, this is a great phone. This phone is also small enough to put in a clutch purse and is easy to use. Furthermore, the keys can be locked when not in use so you don't accidentally call someone. Some reviews state that the call volume is low and cannot be adjusted, but if you read the manual you will learn that it is very easy to do. I am very happy with this phone!!!

Pros:

+Great loudspeaker, even better than the Razr and V710
+Sleek, stylish blackness
+Strong reception
+FM radio through speaker (with attached headset)
+Small and lightweight
+Good battery life, even in low-signal areas

Cons:

-Battery cover doesn't seat well, feels creaky when handling phone and pressing buttons
-Prone to smudges and fingerprints
-Screen could be brighter
-Signal and battery indicators difficult to read

Some of my gripes might seem like nitpicking, but that's a testament to the phone's overall quality. I fixed the creaking problem by inserting a sliver of 3x5 index card between the battery cover and the frame (not touching the battery). There isn't anything to be done about the signal indicators or the screen, but these are minor complaints when compared with the phone's glaring strengths.

The Nokia 6030 is a very good phone it has good reception and is dependable. One thing that i dislike is that it does not have bluetooth on it but this is the only thing that i can actually find wrong with it otherwise i would recommend this over the more expensive phone like the razr. It might not be a flashy looking or have all of the features of the more expensive phones but it works a lot better and is way more dependable i have not had a problem out of this phone yet it is my second favorite phone next to the motorola v551-v557.

For the price, you can't go wrong. I haven't found a phone in this price range that is comparable to the 6030. It obviously isn't an unbelievable phone, but it is great for people who don't need a complicated phone. It's small, simple and has a nice look to it. I would definately say its worth your $50 or so.

This phone might not have the most flash or the latest cam or the latest complex OS but to just use for what a cell phone is meant for, to make and take calls, it works.

This phone is very simple, there is nothing unique about this phone and is basically the modern day 5190 nokia from back in the days. The phone however does have a few things going for it, it has a color screen, it is light and looks great.

If you are the type of person that is not very demanding from your mobile phones, then i highly reccommend this phone as this will serve its purpose well.

My daughter is very rough on cell phones. She has not had good luck with flip phones, so we decided to try some else. She found this phone to be handy for her to carry, and the service is wonderful. I may look at one of these for myself later,

I really enjoy this phone. If you aren't dead-set on having a camera, this phone is awesome. I have always been a fan of Nokia and this phone doesn't dissappoint me. It has a long battery life. Great service and clear communication. I haven't had a person tell me that they can't hear me (on the phone). Navigation is easy. This phone really is pretty user-friendly. I would defintely recommend this phone to anyone!

Great phone and easy to use. Nice to have fm radio , not to small and great features!!! Would purchase again if had to buy another phone!!!

It was a great purchase for me as it is a product I found that doesn't provide all the unnecessary options I do not use. It is very practical and works wonderfully for my purposes. I like the size, it's easy to read and it isn't technically challenging.

I cannot give a fair assessment for this cellular phone. I bought it not knowing what I was doing. It was purchased to replace the Nokia 6030 my wife accidently ran over in the driveway. When I bought it I did not know about "locked" versus "unlocked". The phone was locked to T-Mobil. My wife's GSM card is Cingular. After I installed the GSM in the phone and discovered it wouldn't work without an unlock code, I paid $5.00 for a code. After that,I learned that I had exceeded the five try limit and the phone is now hard locked. I can't get it unlocked without paying additional fees ($12.00), but was told this phone, Nokia 6030b is currently unlockable. So, in other words, this phone is worthless. The fault is all mine and I realize education is expensive. I subsequently bought a replacement (unlocked) phone from NOKIA which works just fine.

I've had my Nokia 6030 for almost a year now. Overall its a great phone. It looks good, but more importantly, it is very light and durable. I've dropped it I don't know how many times, including once out of my pocket while on a Motorcycle, and its always suffered nominal damage.

It has some great features like an FM radio player and other little trinkets and games that are just icing on the cake, but where it really suceeds is as a phone. Signal quality is excellent and I hardly ever lose service. The ringtones are good, the phonebook is easy to use and all the menus are easily navigable. There really isn't anything to complain about here.

I don't care if mine dies tomorrow for no good reason; my next phone will be a 6030.

I really like this cell phone, it is small and not bulky. For the size of the phone, it is pretty durable. I seldom drop calls, the phone sound quality is good. The key pad is a little sensitive, so i have to make sure that the keys are locked. The battery life is great. It is a simple phone, no camera, but for a basic phone I would really recommend this one!!!!

I bought the phone because I am on the AT&T plan and needed a phone to accomodate my plan. This phone has satisfied my needs for a cell phone. Communication with the seller was great! I didn't have any problems.

My sister needing a replacement cellphone for her husband. The ultimate idea was to get it from EBAY to get the phone cheaper than extending service plan. I read the description before bidding and the cellphone I bid on is exactly what my sister is looking for. I posted a case through PAYPAL for non- receipt of the item and then the seller sent me the item. when the item arrived, it was in a small RICE RONI box wrapped in a colored paper and the cell phone inside was wrapped in a same colored paper, upon opening the package I notice the the cellphone is very FILTY, DIRT around the seams and scrathes all over the screen....The phone is worth not even a dollar, I tried to complaint again through PAYPAL but I cannot because of the first complaint that I posted with the same item I purchased so I was stucked with the phone (I lost my money). I sent an email to the seller that I am very unhappy, I rather not to post anything on his FEEDBACk because I might write something that he would not like and left it that way.

I bought this phone when my camera phone wasn't able to get very good reception. My husband had a Nokia 6030 and it got great reception and it hasn't proved me wrong. I can be in my basement and still get reception. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone.

The phone was exactly how it was described. It was brand new, in the box, and came complete with all accessories. I had broken my phone and was not due for an upgrade, so this was a very cheap, and efficient way to solve the problem.

I bought this phone for myself and then when it was received I decided to give it as a Christmas gift. I am sure the person will enjoy it.

It has great reception. I have heard Nokia phones are great for reception. I have owned Nokias in the past and have always liked them, I haven't been disappointed with this one either.

I bought this to replace a Motorola v160 that quit sending/receiving calls 1 year into a 2-yr Cingular agreement. Popped the SIM card in and away I went. The Nokia 6030 doesn't have quite as many bells and whistles as the Moto phones, BUT it does one thing they seem to have a problem doing: WORK!! It is sleek and stylish, and it can make/get calls in places I never could with the Moto. One month after buying this 6030, I bought another to replace my daughter's Moto v160 that died also! I expecting to have to do the same for my wife's v160 any time now, and will replace it with a third 6030.
