Excellent, but imperfect, phoneReview created: 07/07/07

The first thing about the 6126 is the screen; the 98 squillion colours and image definition are outstanding, so much so that when I look at my old 6230, I can't believe I used a phone with such outdated graphics for 2 years.
Connected to this is the camera; the photos I've taken with it are full of vibrant colour, with excellent definition. The phone's built-in memory isn't great for storing too many at full definition, but a trick I've picked up is to zoom in on things where definition isn't important, and the zoomed pics are stored at a lower def, and thus lower memory.
Sound on the mp3 player is excellent; I have it paired with a set of HS-23 earphones, which are great. A trick for creating playlists is to create folders on your memory card; the phone doesn't have a device for creating playlists in and of itself.
Oh yeah, and it's also a phone. Crystal clear reception, no problem with coverage bars, a very loud speaker phone and ringtone with customizeable settings for silent, flight, etc modes.
The menus and settings are the usual Nokia, completely costomizeable and utterly user-friendly. If you think the controls are different to your old Sony/Samsung/LG, don't worry, you can change the Nokia around so that every function is exactly where you would find it on your old phone. The options menu is the best thing anyone has ever added to a phone, and no function on my phone is more than 2 clicks away after opening.
The flip mechanism on the 6126 is great for playing with; it snaps open quickly and crisply every time, and you're talking. Your roommate/partner/close friends will get fed up with you constantly opening and closing it, though, so don't overdo it.
The faux-leather exterior really feels nice in your hand, but it is soft, and after a couple of months I've noticed some very slight peeling in a couple of places. A clear plastic case looks nice on other phones, but on this one it takes away from the leather appearance, which is a bit unfortunate.
The buttons on the keypad are big and well lit, and click properly so you know when you've pushed them. The phone feels really comfortable in the hand and up against your ear.
Cons; battery life. It does have to be charged every 2nd day at least, probably every day under heavy usage (if you're using the mp3 player all day, for example). A car charger is a very worthwhile investment.
Of all the functions to leave out, I can't for the life of me work out why the 6133 can have an fm radio, but the 6126 doesn't need one. It's the one thing I really miss from my 6230.
Advice; if you want to use this phone as a mp3 player, get the decent headphones (like the hs-23) and a usb cable. Nokia Suite works quick with my Dell, and I've hardly taken my media card out of the phone.
I don't browse the web on my phone, or use bluetooth, so can't comment on those functions.

Small, sleek, powerful.
) 4 of 6 people found this review helpful.
I've owned the Nokia 6126 for two weeks now and I have to say it was a solid choice. I had owned Nokias in the past, but they've definitely stepped it up on this model. It's a solid phone, able to do what I need easily and quickly. The reception is good, the screen is huge and colorful (which features 16 million colors, the best on the market right now), the games run smoothly (including full-screen 3D), and has a highly customizable interface. With a 2GB stick, this phone is rockin' with high quality ring-tones and full albums to listen to. The camera is crisp and clear, and with night-mode it's always in use. With a microSD card, you can have dozens of games, or take incredibly long videos too.
It does seem to run out of juice quickly (3+ hours) if in constant use (probably because of the large back-lit screen), but once folded the power saving features let your music play for hours. Just get a headset... and you're set!
However, if you're looking for a full-blown organizer, QWERTY keyboard, or business emailing phone (no wi-fi either), this isn't what you're looking for. While a little more than the average-joe feature phone, it's not quite a pocket PC, or smart phone.
Not terribly fancy, but fancy enough to impress those around you with your frugal yet powerful phone. Good mid-level phone, I recommend to any casual (but experienced) user.

Great work phone. Durable and feature rich
) 
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
At my AT&T (Cingular) store a lot of people seem to be purchasing this phone recently. It is a very good phone that has a lot great features. This phone will make a great work phone. It has a push-to-open hinge which makes it very easy to open the flip with one finger. It is very durable and has a nice look. One thing a lot of people like about this phone is its volume. This phone is very loud compared to ther phones. So if you have a problem with hearing your phone ringing, this phone will do the job. It has a memory card slot as well as a music player so you can forget about your independant music player and use your phone. Both of the displays on the phone are very high quality which makes it very easy to see. Great phone !!!

Great all around phone for a low price!3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
I bought this phone because I wanted a phone with all the best features for a reasonable price. It has a 1.3 megapixel camera/video camera, HUGE display, voice recorder, Bluetooth, mp3 player with place for 500+ songs, stopwatch, timer, calculator, alarm clock, and so much more, and all for a very reasonable price.
The battery life isn't great, I get about a whole day with lots of talking. The speaker is loud, and you can use your personal music for a ringtone or alarm tone. You can also put a separate ringtone or video for every single contact in your phonebook. There's place for a thousand names, and each name could have 5 numbers and many other details! Of course since it is Nokia it is so easy to use and navigate the menus.
Overall, this is a great phone, and is worth the price. Go get it today!

Excellent Overall PhoneReview created: 07/07/07

ive had this phone for a while now and in my opinion it is just the best phone for its price range. The camera is probably the best 1.3 out there and it has many great applications and features...the coulour screen is very vivid. The only minor downside is the batter life...but that is overshadowed by the overall greatness of this phone

Elegant & Smart, but Fragile Screen and Battery HogReview created: 04/02/09
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Pros:
-Bright display screen
-Large tactile keyboard
-Smart easy to use functionality
-Good reception and clear voice communication
-Camera has night function and variable zoom
-Font size can be adjusted
Cons:
-Battery life is pathetic, lucky to go a day of light usage without needing a recharge.
-Fragile inside screen, no protective cover, get a screen protector.
-Antenna is in base of phone so covering it up with your hand adversely affects both the signal and the battery life.
-Suspect that auto open function will break over time. Prefer it wasn't there.
-Outside display light stays on a long time draining battery life.
Overall a very good phone. However, the battery life is the main downside. A heavy user should not buy this phone. Get a Motorola V series phone. Not as smart and the display screen not nearly as good, but excellent battery life.

I dislike the listing because it said new never opened. The reason is because the phone is not in the original box. The box is for a much larger phone. Also the manual is very very generic. This phone was repacked in a different box, and not with the original manual. New is new.

Phone is virtually worthlessReview created: 11/25/09
by:
Bought to replace an identical phone. Phone will not work on the internet, one of the main features of this phone. Seller stated "fine print" internet not guaranteed when I called them. Cannot re-program to phone to work. Wast of $$$. Better to buy a track phone from Wal-Mart!

Great little phone!Review created: 11/21/09
by:
) I have owned this phone for appoxamately 3 years now. I like it so much that i purchased this one for my father. This is the only flip phone i have seen with a push button quick flip open. This option alone makes it ideal for 1 handed operation for someone with disabilities or hand issues. It has been on the market for several years now so some of the latest "toys" are not availabe (like wifi) that said - it is the best little phone i have ever owned. I have purchased 3 different phones but keep coming back to this one. One the best things about this one is it's not so expensive that I would be afraid to take it to work or be concerned that it may be stolen.
I love the compact size, a little smaller than a razr it has rounded corners making it much more comfortable than most flip phones. It is a little weighty and feels sturdy not like cheap plastic, I have dropped it several times with no effects. It has a nice little camera and takes video, it also has a slot for a micro sd card. I am not a texter so i can't comment on that, but the buttons are larger and easy to use. The display has larger print(easy to read).The front window has its own walpaper, clock and caller id display to see who's calling before you answer.It actually has a real "ring" (My husband and I have had 4 different ones that dont have a real "ring") but it also has a rather large library of ring tones. I have never had a problem with reception. You can get online with media net, and has a couple of simple games in it. It has several more options that i don't use. The only down side is the battery life is a little shorter than i would like but i understand there are better batteries available now.
To sum it all up this IS NOT an old folks phone, its perfect for people like me who want a good, sturdy, dependable phone to make/recieve calls and maybe be entertained once in a while.

Great full featured phoneReview created: 10/03/09

I use my phone a lot. I like this phone for its simple features. The most important one to me in the blue tooth connection to the Free software suite from Nokia. The combination makes it east to keep a back up of all the data on my telephone. It also serves as sort of an alarm if someone tries to walk away with my laptop fom work the phones beeps when it losses contact with the laptop.
It is not costly.
