Great rfeatures, terrible qualityReview created: 06/15/07

I like it because it has great reception, blue tooth, and light. The problem arises with quality. Cheap plastic case. The antenae cover has come off more times than I can count. After 4 months the first one I had the screen went blank like one of the reviewers above. They gave me a replacement phone, probably refurbed, and now, just under a year later, that phone has screen problems, no backlighting most of the time. Of course, this one isn't under warranty since they go by the date of the original phone!
Buyer beware.

I love it and would purchase it AGAIN, in fact, I have!1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Easy to use, lightweight and does not drop calls like Motorola V557 my husband has. I was able to set up the phone the way I wanted it and not the way it came from the factory. I was able to put on the "GO TO" menu all the things I access often. i.e., Alarm clock, calendar, camera, meeting, etc. One of the best Nokia phones I have had and I have only had Nokia phones. My husband has a Motorola V557 and it is worthless. It drops calls all the time and he has had nothing but trouble with it...it is his second V557. Was have had to replace it now and he is looking into the Nokia 6102i like mine.

Yes some great features, but no memory!Review created: 01/25/07

Yes this phone has some cool stuff in it, like a camera etc, but it is not worth the money people are paying on ebay. the major setback of the phone is that you have barely any memory on the phone. According to the specs this phone is to have 4.2MB of flash memory (but it doesnt)and so far neither Nokia or Cingular Customer Service can figure out the missing memory mystery. Put a couple ringtones on the phone and a screen pops up telling you that something needs to be deleted. The phone is also made of very cheap materials, which makes it easy to scratch, and break off of one little drop. I recommend you to buy a different phone that is the same price but a whole lot better because believ me there are a whole lot better phones than this one for the same price.

good phone but not as sturdy as a samsungReview created: 01/16/07

i like that it's blue tooth enabled. i NEED the bluetooth headset since i am on the phone more than i am off it! i had a samsung prior to this and dropped it in the water either in the sink, fell out of my pocket into a puddle, or fell into the toilet out of my coat pocket, six times and it still worked after two years until i upgraded to this. i dropped this in a puddle a month ago and it just stopped working last week to my surprise. i was unhappy about that but i did love the features on this phone. the camera was super easy to use that my kids took pics with it. the volume goes louder than any of the other phones i have had in the past which includes the speaker phone is loud and crystal clear. i loved the blue tooth definitely. my friend got a motorola of somesort from cingular and it was difficult to program and this was easy to program and all features were easy to use. i don't do gaming so i don't know about that feature but i did do the mobile email and check my email while on vacation and that was great to do. i'd get it if i were you, it's worth it.

Nokia 6102iReview created: 11/01/06(updated 02/05/07)

I bought this phone to replace my POS Razr (cingular compatable version). After going through 3 Razr's with much dissappointment (each lasted less than 2 months then broke), I went back to Nokia. Overall I am happy with this phone after the 2 months or so I have had it. I really like the fact that it has a recorder on the phone and you can record voices, etc. and then use them as ringtones. The camera is eay to use and seems to take decent quality pics for a phone.
All in all the phone is pretty good.
The only thing I can think of that I'm not surper happy with is the durability of the plastic body on the phone. It seems thin and easy to break - we'll see. Also the phone doesn't open up to as large of an angle as the Razr did so it makes it harder to hold between your neck and ear if you are trying to do other things wile talking. But, the speakerphone is loud enough to put it down and continue the conversation in this case.
*EDIT* As of December 2006 (a month after writing this 1st review) my phone screens died. Yes - both of them. The large inside screen as well as the smaller screen on the outside. About 3 weeks after that happend the phone turned off one day, never to be turned on again. I tried charging it for hours and it would never boot up again.
This very well could be because I bought it off an idividual here (eBay), and not in a store, but who knows. It could have done the same thing if I bought it in a store. I would have been able to return it if I bought it in a store though...
I have changed the rating to average from good because of this.

This phone works great: Good reception, nice features.Review created: 10/08/06

This phone works great, has good reception; and nice features. While I don't use all the features (I don't need a toy); the ones I use work well, and I am impressed.
I have big hands; so the small keypad can be difficult to use; but I am learning. There are more intuitive menu systems; but again, I am learning. The backlighting of the screen turns off a bit too quickly for me; but it is part of the power-saver feature; so I am adjusting.
I wish the ring tones and speaker volume had separate control features ... now, if you set one, the other is also set.
We have always had an external antenna for our cell phones. This phone doesn't seem to need one. This is my first GSM phone. We have had cell phones since the early trials (late 80s); so I have had quite a bit of experience. I am pleased. Thanks. rg

Nokia 6102i has better reception than my MotorolaReview created: 08/24/06
by:
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Nokia does againg! I had 4 cell phones, 2 Nokias, 1 Moto RAZR and 1 Treo 650.
The best reception and voice quality of all is for the Nokia. I alreay sold the RAZR becuase the reception was not as good as the nokia.
I also try a Samsung from a friend. It was good but not as Nokia reception and voice quality. So I give first 1st place for Nokia, 2nd second to Samsung, 3rd third to Treo 650 and last for the pretty Motorola.

Good over all usage. Yes sound is not as good as more expensive phones but good for the price. There is a viewfinder for taking pictures but of course sunlight can obsure any screen. As for downloading pictures you can get a data cable or better yet a bluetooth adapter and download directly to your phone without being charged an online fee.

This is probably a good phone for someone. I found the buttons too small for my large hands and experienced difficulty with the sound being too low. I comparison with a Motorola that replaced this Nokia, I was a bit disapppointed with the Nokia.

Nokia 6102i: one Luddite's view...12 of 19 people found this review helpful.
Disclaimer: Technical types will not find this review useful.
Chief complaint: Voice Quality so poor as to be unintelligible much of the time.
Details: My Nework :Cingular (used to be known as AT&T)- My calling range: S.F. Bay area.
On my Nokia 6102i, All the voices have an oscillating, underwater quality, and often an underlay of static as well. It's so bad, I avoid using the phone. I was forced into switching after my analog phone finally died. I 'd assumed reception depends more on the network than the device, but I don't really know. I DO KNOW that I enjoyed perfectly clear reception with my old Nokia model using the SAME provider I still use... Looking for a new phone now. Meanwhile, at least there's no chance of any overages. It takes only seconds to say "I'll have to call you back on a land line."
Since I really only use it as a telephone, I'm not qualified to judge the bells and whistles. I'll just mention that straight out of the box, it seemed easier to find myself in the "Cingular Mall," (where they sell ring tones, etc.), than to find and set up features I would have used most, (and already pay for) such as the speaker phone and speed and voice dialing. But I might have been able to fix this using a nifty application which allows you to program your own SHORTCUTS into the menu.
This was my first time using a camera phone. Among its drawbacks; it's hard to see your subject in the screen (no viewfinder)-especially in sunlight. And you can't download photos except over the internet (for a fee.) It won't replace my digital camera, but I've found that any gadget that makes it possible (easy, in fact) to turn grandchildren into screensavers is one I don't want to be without!
