An excellent, sturdy cell phone. The best!
Review created: 07/27/09(updated 11/03/09)

My husband and I love these phones. They are simple to use and the color quality of the screen is excellent. The main selling point of this phone is that it still uses the plug in type of earbud earphone for the phone. This allows hands free calling capability. I simply put the cell phone in my pocket, attach the earbud line into the bottom of the phone, place the earbud in my ear, and I can then carry on a conversation while I looking at spreadsheets on my computer. Newer cell phones have done away with this headset style, relying instead on the Bluetooth appliances that are big, plastic, and hook onto your ear. This phone also has a speakerphone, games, great ringtones, an alarm clock, a calendar, a to do list, a section for notes, a calculator, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, and 1 touch dialing. Most of all, this phone is extremely sturdy, and is a flip phone, which I love. Flip phones flip closed and this saves the wear and tear on the screen and the keypad. The ringing volume goes from a 1 all the way to a 5 (which is very loud), and this feature can be adjusted by pressing the large silver central button on the keypad, then select "Settings" (the icon that looks like a wrench turning), scroll down to "Tones", scroll down to "Ringing Volume", select "Ringing Volume" by pressing the central silver button on the keypad, then press the Right or Left side of the surrounding circular black and silver "O" (this will move the volume bars up or down), and then you are set. In addition, the voice volume of the call can be adjusted by doing so when you are on a call (this is the ONLY way this can be done, and is not, unfortunately, explained in the operation manual). Go ahead and press 1 on the keypad (this will call the voice mailbox for voice messages and will register as a "call"), then, while on the phone with the voice message operator, once again press the central surrounding circular black and silver "O" and you will see the bars come up as you do when you are adjusting the ringing volume. Once you set the voice volume, it is set for all calls going forward. In otherwords, it stays in the phone memory and you don't have to repeat this for each call. There is absolutely nothing about this phone that I dislike. When you purchase it, the phone comes with the operator manual, a new Nokia batery, and a charger. You insert the Sim card from your old phone into your new phone, under the battery in the phones' battery compartment, when you get it. Nokia is by far the leader in cell phones, and their phones are known for their excellent call range quality and clarity of all calls. In addition, their charging jack is very common and inexpensive and easily replaceable if you lose it (look on Amazon.com). They are about $6.00. The earbud is also on Amazon.com (enter "headset for Nokia 6061") and you can get those for about $4.25. I would get several and put them in the car for emergency usage and at the desks in your home. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone wanting an excellent, attractive, exceptional cell phone.
