Nokia 6133 (T-Mobile)

The Nokia 6133 phone is the successor to the widely popular Nokia 6102i model. When you think Nokia, you think of their nice and simple soap bar styled phones, but they are doing a great job on the flip-phone side of things. I've rated each of this phones most prominent features on a scale of 1 to 10:

Design (9/10) - While not as thin and sleek as lets say the RAZR, it's rounded edges gives it a good portable feel in your pocket. Im guessing Nokia decided to borrow some old industry designs to include in the 6133. It's exterior is wrapped in a black colored rubberized texture (Motorola V300 series anyone?) with a silver trim around it, giving the phone a very nice rugged feel to it. And like the Nextel i860, it features a flip button which when pressed, automatically flips the phone open, something not seen very often on phones these days.

Screen (9/10) - Interior screen is big (2.2 inches) and beautiful. Animation, photos, graphics and text are vivid. External screen also doubles as mirror for vanity shots and is larger than most phones.

MP3 Player/FM tuner (6/10) - Supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+ file formats. Although nothing special, it features an FM tuner which you won't find on most phones. Disappointinly, the music stored and played on the phone must be purchased directly from T-Mobile's service for addittional fees. To be able to use the phones MP3 Player ability, you'll need to seperately purchase a special headset, USB data cable and a MicroSD card for additional space (phone comes with a small 11MB onboard memory).

Multimedia Features (8/10) - Contains features and functions found on most mainstream phones and sometimes even better. On top of the usual Alarm, Calendar, Tasks, Calculator, World Time, Unit Conversion, Timer, and Stopwatch there is also a translator, presenter, and sensor. Internet is provided by the fast broadband EDGE network so you can check email or browse the web. There is also access the T-Zone networks for downloads of music, games, wallpaper, more web applications, or access a variety of premium services. Phone is preloaded with three games. Features bluetooth wireless connectivity for headsets, handsfree car kits and laptop computers.

Battery Life (7/10) - Battery life is decent, factory rated at 210 minutes of talk time, although I tested it at a little under 3 hours. Battery life is lower with internet or multimedia usage.

Camera/Video (7/10) - Has a 1.3MP camera which takes decent pictures, although i've seen better quality results with other 1.3MP camera phones. There is no flash so dark or night shots are not possible. Although nothing special, the camera is basic enough to please most regular users.

MicroSD Slot (6/10) - Necessary if you want to store additional pictures, videos and music. Easy to pop in and very small (easily lost as well!). The cards are very cheap so its a great upgrade to get. Unfortunately as with the previous Nokia flip phones, accessing the slot takes a little more work. You'll need to open the battery cover to get to it (at least you don't need to remove the battery this time).

The Nokia 6133 is an improvement from the 6102i but there are still some kinks to work out. T-Mobile also needs give their consumers more freedom when it comes to multimedia and entertainment functions. Overall, if your looking for a nicely priced and feature packed phone from T-Mobile, the Nokia 6133 is a good choice. Please vote YES if my review has been helpful!

I SIMPLY LOVE THE NOKIA 6133. IN FACT I LOVE IT SO MUCH I PURCHASED THIS ONE FOR MY BOYFRIEND. THE LOOK AND FEEL IS INCREDIBLE. THE SPEAKER IS VERY LOUD. THE MP3 PLAYER IS A DELIGHT TO HAVE.IT HAS SO MANY COOL POINTS, I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO NAME THEM ALL. RINGTONES, MYFAVES, ALARM, CALCULATOR, MEDIA PLAYER AND MUSIC PLAYER, BLUETOOTH CAPABILITY....THE LIST IS ENDLESS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PHONE AS A STARTER PHONE OR AS A PERMANENT FIXTURE. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN TH ELEAST

This is my second Nokia 6133. My last one lasted me over a year and thats a long time for as hard on phones as I am. I had a razor as well and this phone has all the same features, but its easiar to use and tougher(cheaper too!)

Got the phone for my wife. I have used the same phone since they came out and have never had any problems. My son also has one. They do just abut everything that you could ask and then some.

The only thing I don't like is that the camera button gets pushed by accident all the time. You can't lock it out. It is on the right side of the phone on the lower part as you hold it. It only takes a minute to change(exit) but I have taken pictures of the case several times. Other than that it is the best phone I have ever had. I added some screen film from ebay so that the display will always look great. I have read that battery life is low but I can charge it often so that is not a problem for me.

I got this phone for my husband. He likes to listen to music while he is outside working. And the radio on this phone works great. You get good reception. He likes that the ring tone is loud, so he does not miss calls when outside working. And he likes all the features it has. So he is very happy with this phone.

Hi'ya. This is my second Nokia Phone after no longevity or consistency with three Motorola phone's. I also had a Samsung cell, tho 4 years ago it seemed very toylike and fragile.
The Nokia's feel earthy, and mine lasted even when bounced around or accident dropped.
They've operate consistently.
I replaced my 6103 only to have the clamshell type. The 6103 with it's exposed dial button's would dial on its own while in my pocket if I moved a certain way, etc.
I didn't like using that model with a cover. But it was also purchased flawlessly on ebay, and used for almost 15 months without a problem.
I only retired my 6103 model to get the Nokia clamshell Model 6133.
My dislikes? Not with the phone, but only that no Feedback at all was left by the seller now almost one month later, tho Positive Feedback was left by me within a couple days of receiving my "new in the box" phone.
Regards,and Good ebay Selling & Buying to all! r1666

i like the nokia 6133 just because i have spare batteries for it and it is an all around good phone. its easy to use and has a great camera

It seems like there is a new phone coming out every month! They come and they go. This is one of those rare examples where everything was done right. It's tough (my dog chewed up the keyboard on one and it still worked), looks great, and has a very nice screen. They still go for top dollar used on eBay.

Only drawback is slightly less than average battery life per charge. This is not a big deal though. Overall, it is a pretty rugged and reliable phone.
You would think the push button flip mechanism would break after time. IT DOES NOT. I had my first Nokia 6133 for over a year without the slightest problem, until I stepped on it.
It's a tough phone but not strong enough for a stomping.
Camera is great with zoom. Radio is great too.
I recommend it.

Some times you get a feel for something and it's good. The Nokia line of phones is like that for the most part. I have had other brands and some are ok while others are worthless. The 6133 is pretty nice but I do have some gripes. The chrome bezel around the camera lens rubs off where it makes contact during the opening and closing, the connector for the headset at the top is hard to get at under it's flap and is a pain with the case over the phone so often I remove the cover if I want to use the fm radio. The sound quality is great on speaker phone mode but a bit low on the earphone in a noisy environment. The battery life is pretty good but some batteries don't seem to last as long as others. I bought 2 spares and have 3 batteries of which 1 is junk and the others are variable in quality. Bluetooth works good and customizing ring tones, wallpaper and softtouch buttons is the best I've had.
I like this well enough for the fact that Nokia phones usually have better signal strength that many other brands, so bought one for my Dad.

If you like the flip styles, you will probably like the 6133.

this is a excellent phone.I had one before but it was ran over,so i had to have another one.I like that when you are on the plane you can put it on flight mode.

Purchased phone to replace old outdated model did not want to commit to another 2 years with carrier in todays market phone looks and operates great small enough to carry in pocket but still does most important job dials easy and good clarity only downside hard to view outside on sunny days

I decide to buy this item because is very fast, pretty and smaller phone, the size is perfect for carrying in a pocket
I dislike the phone camera anywhere is a great phone, great features, i love it.

Can't review seeing the seller never sent the phone and I had to file a complaint/refund with Paypal.

Great phone overall. The camera could be better quality; I swear the old VGA cameras nokia used before they passed the 1.3 mega pixel seemed better quality for photos. The reason I love this phone, however, is the amazingly loud speaker for music playback w/put headphones!!!! I use it at work alot since I can't wear headphones. People are always asking me "where's the radio at?". Solid construction too. I've had mostly Nokias since I started using phones and they take a beating VERY well.

The product came in as described. Except the battery ran out fast. Fast response and repalcement was taken place right away. Excellent seller. Grading should be perfect and plus ++++. Thanks so much

I have had this phone for more than 1 year. Things I like: can access phone #s while on a call; 9 speed dial keys; 1.2 MP camera; stores images; takes xd media card; more features than I use like voice memoes, calendar. Things I do not like: MP3 player jumps if I am riding mountain bike; not competitive with iphones.

I love the color screens and the ability to change everything!I had to reset the phone for my picture messages to work but it was easy. I don't care much for the Camera button on the side of the phone. It turns on too easily in my pocket.

Solid phone. Typical intuitive Nokia OS, easy to get around the menu. Good reception. Nice clear screen. If it's locked, you wont be able to set MP3s as ringtones. I suggest unlocking the phone, or buying it unlocked. The silver color around the keypad comes off after a while. 8 out of 10.

A perfect phone for normal daily use. I like the Nokia phone because the battery last longer than other brand. And it is simple to operate.

I recieved this "fully working cell phone" from a dealer w/ "great" reputation. The first phone we recieved did not work at all. It blinked. And, that is about it. I returned the first phone to the vendor. They sent me the second phone. That one turned itself completely off after the lid was closed (almost every time). We returned that phone too.

After spending about $30 on three shipping charges, we ended up buying a new Razor V3 for about $80.00 DO NOT BUY USED PHONES FROM "great" DEALERS. IT'S A RIP OFF.

I purchased this cell phone for my son. I purchased the phone because it is not just a cell phone. You can listen to FM radio, It has a MP3 player, camera, blue tooth tech, you can download games, and you can record short videos. My 16yr old son loves it. Its like all the latest electronics in one.

I love Nokia products. They have by far the best reception of any other cell phone. This model is an upgrade from my previous 6103 model. I dropped it under a neighbor's tire and it got squished. When searching for a new phone, I looked at Nokia's. I like a flip phone. This model 6133 has a button to push to activate the flip. The reception is excellent and has the capabilities to play music, add a storage card, and more. The settings allow me to choose a larger font for my old eyes, making it easier to read my texts and phone numbers. I truly enjoy this handset and recommend it to anyone searching for a replacement handset.
