Nokia 6102 (AT&T)

HAD ONE , DROPPED IT , IT BROKE INTO PEICES, BUT I WANTED ANOTHER JUST LIKE IT. PLEASED TO HAVE FOUND IT ON E-BAY

Once again an adventure. Bit buy auction fever and not knowing the market one can buy items he may later regret. The phone I bought was represented to be what it was. I sold it on craigslist.

With our contract up, my wife and I went to the local Cingular(AT&T) to set up a new contract. A fast talking young man talked my wife into accepting a pair of Samsung. Before I knew it we walked out with two new Samsung SGH=c417 cell phones. My fault...I was bested by a fast talking young man and a gullable wife. I got on eBay, found the Nokia models I wanted. replaced the chips, and we are now a happy couple. I am open to sell a couple os Samsung cell phones. Thanks for listening. God Bless.....Art

I love the fact that I got a brand new phone without having to sign another 2yr contract. I bought the phone because the one I had didn't work and I haven't had any problems with my new Nokia.

I purchased one on eBay after my wife broke hers by dropping it 20 feet. AT&T wanted about $200 to replace it since it wasn't yet eligible for upgrade. My family has 4 of this model for the last year and have been very happy. I was able to find a new unlocked model on eBay for less than 1/2 of what AT&T wanted. I think from now on, when it is time to upgrade phones, I will buy unlocked ones on eBay so I don't stay constantly locked into a cell phone plan.

The phone was in like new condition. The seller was outstanding in communicating and getting the item out quickly.

We bought a number of these phones over a several-week time frame for our field employees. They requested them on the basis of styling and feaures. We will no longer buy this model because we have found the durability to be less than desired.

This is the first flip phone I've ever owned. I wasn't sure I would like a flip phone, but I do for a couple of reasons:

1) When open, the phone more easily reaches from my ear to my mouth - so its mor comfortable to talk/listen into

2) Instead of looking for a button to push in order to answer, all you have to do is open the phone to answer a call.

The only down side to this phone is that it is a little less rugged than phones I've had in the past. I'm pretty rough on a phone (rain, dropping it, etc) and I have had to be a little more gentle with this phone. So far, on balance, I'm happy with it though.

I have to admit my expectations were pretty high for this phone considering that it was a Nokia. My sister and I got this same phone when we started our new contract with At&T. Two months in, her phone began turning off. It would work fine one minute, then the screen would flash white and turn off soon after. Then it stopped working altogether. She had it replaced and sure enough, my phone followed in the same footsteps. Bad memory, not sturdy at all and all around not reliable. Since then I've ran into four other people who've owned this same phone and experienced similar problems. I highly recommend something else.

I recently upgraded to a Nokia 6102 from a Nokia 6030. I'm under a Cingular (AT&T) contract. Moving the SIM card from the 6030 to the 6102 was a snap. My last several cell phones have been Nokias, I find them durable and with impressive battery life. The 6102 appears to be no exception.

Plusses:
- battery life
- durability
- menus very similar to 6030, very little learning curve
- keys nicely spaced, good feel to them (very rarely mistakenly press a key, which was an issue with the candy bar style 6030 for me)
- external volume control very handy (vs. pressing a key with 6030)
- external screen with caller ID display is real handy
- blue backlighting of keys is neat

Minusses:
- antenae is kind of bulky
- 6030 accessories are not compatible (charger plug for 6102 is smaller, you can purchase an adapter; headsets have completely different plugs; batteries are different models)
- No bluetooth, if important to you the slightly newer 6102i has bluetooth

If you don't want to read the entire review, that's fine:

The point is: Nokia's batteries, on any phone of their's, for the most part, are great batteries, and hold a charge EXTREMELY WELL, unlike many competitor's batteries!!

Now, if you want the details:

I have had many phones over the years. I started off, a very long time ago, with a Motorola bag phone. It was actually pretty good, because it was always plugged into the car, so the reception was great (as it is on all bag phones) and so was the battery staying power.

Because I loved that first phone so much, when I graduated to a bagless/regular cell phone, I wanted a Motorola, naturally, I had a different end of events: the battery never lasted more than a day or two.

I then switched to a Nokia. Now, Nokia's are GREAT about battery power! They seem to last forever! I had about 4 Nokia's in a row, just for that reason. All of them were amazing at holding a charge! I had Nokia's for well over 10 yrs. and never had a problem with them. I have dropped them (leaving them in pieces) repeatedly, and you just put them back together, and poof, your off, they never die!

Now, before I bought my last phone, I really liked the look and the things that the Razor offered, but I was too hesitant, so I bought another Nokia. Once again, great phone.

But after all these years, I figured Motorola finally had to get it right, right? WRONG! I have a Brand New Motorola Razr and that thing stinks at holding a charge. It only lasts a few days, IF I don't use it. IF I use it, talking or making changes, it will die in less than two days. Now, I am sad to have to say these things about Motorola, because I believe in them as a good company, but they just can't get the batteries in their phones to hold a charge! I don't know why, but they can't.

Another thing, when it is low on battery power, about 1 out of every 5 times, it will give you warning. The other 80% of the time, your phone is working, no beeping, nothing, and then, zap, the phone is just dead! You don't think this is going to be a problem, until you go to meet someone for dinner, the game, or shopping, and your phone was working all day long, but now, it's dead, and you didn't get a chance to tell them, where you were or where to meet up. Now what do you do? I don't even remember how to use a pay phone anymore, do you?

Something else about this Razr, you absolutely have to have the disc with all of the applications on it, otherwise, you really have no wallpaper, screen savers, etc. There are a few that come with it, but not many. I don't know about other people, but I like more than 3 wallpapers to choose from, and screensavers that are the same picture as the wallpaper, just moving.

My kids both have the LG C2000, and theirs' are better than the Razr, but not nearly as good as the Nokia brand. Not to mention, both of their phones, after 1 yr., started having connection problems. They use to be perfect, but after each one hit about a year or so old, they started disconnecting on calls, sounding scratchy and dying very quickly.

Given my choice, I would (might still) go back to my old Nokia. I was very pleased with it, and the only reason I replaced it, was I wanted a new phone.

So stick with a Nokia. You'll be happy no matter what the model is!!!

This is my first gsn phone and I've had it for over a year now and it is actually a good phone. I have had nokias since the begenning (on my 4th one now) and this one doesn't dissappoint in any ways but one, which I will get to later.

Pros:
+Excellent reception (only one place that I have been unable to get reception in over a year)
+Great battery life (lasts several days on one charge)
+Easy to navigate menus
+Go To function can be customized to change profiles and find your calculator easily which makes getting to your commonly visited areas a breeze
+Very durable phone. I have a tendancy to drop this thing on a weekly basis and hasn't ever even shut off.
+With the attatched earpiece (not bluetooth), you can listen to the radio (fm only) which is a great plus while you are working or whatnot. When receiving a call, the radio will shut off and the phone will ring. When the call is over, the radio will come right back.
+Calculator easy to use
+Voice recorder comes in very handy
+Calendar very easy to use and understand
+Notepad comes in very handy

Cons:
-Difficult to hear when in a car or any other noisy place without the headphone
-No bluetooth, but I think the 6102i comes with bluetooth
-I could not get my infrared to work from day one, but it may be an individual problem
-Over the course of a year and a half, the screen on the inside of the cover is dusty and I cannot get inside it to clear the dust out

All in all it is a good phone that never leaves me stranded without battery or reception. Nokias have always been better in aspects pertaining to quality, service, and reception. Think of a nokia as a nextel phone with better reception. You will pay an extra few dollars for a nokia with the same features as other phones, but the quality is much better. You get what you pay for.

After all, it is a Nokia =)

I'm very well satisfied. The phone is almost like new. All functions work.
I got the phone in a timely manner.

The phone was exactly as advertised and shipped very quickly. I am very please with this transaction. I am also very pleased with the performance of the Nokia 6102.

I bought this phone for two reasons, a good combination of features and a good price. The features include a VGA camera that can do video, sound recording, Bluetooth connectivity, Speakerphone, and have good connectivity as phone with medium size antenna attached to the machine. I have used most of these features, especially the camera and have uploaded some nice shots to my laptop over bluetooth. The price for the unlocked phone was reasonable, and I was able quickly to go to a phone store, buy a SIM card, go up to my office, call Cingular and turn it on in about 10 minutes,

The seller told in the ad that he used the phone for only three weeks. Maybe I was wrong but I expected the phone to be in very good shape. When the phone arrived it had scratches on the front and a little crack in the cover. It looked like somebody was running with it and dropped the phone.Also the battery in the phone looked old. I contacted the seller but he said that the phone was in good shape. We went back and fourth a few times. I also asked him why the manual was missing and he never responded to that. Thats why I gave him the bad rating.
Since the phone is working and I spend money to get it connected to my number I desided to keep it.

The phone was new in box. I was able to save over $20.00 off of retail cost. It's the phone that was reccommended to me by a salesman. It has all the features I was looking for and shipping was super fast.

great respones,fast service,and the product is great.it's the only way to buy...thanks.ebay has allways been good to me.you can find any thing you want.

I bought the NewPhone three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 10 hours.It is a little time comsuming getting thru some features. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget. My son and i love it for a first time phone for him.

Adequate phone but dispaly not bright enough in daylight. Bought it because I lost similar phone so therefore had appropriate accessories.

I already had a Nokia 6102 phone. I bought one for me and my husband and 3 teens. My husband dropped his, and it broke. The screen would not show any of his contacts. I got on Ebay, and found the exact phone,bid and on it and won.This is a very reliable and easy to use phone. We love it. I had priced it through Cingular, Radio Shack, and other stores, they wanted way to much $$ for it. Ebay was a very affordable way for me to get it.

Ineeded this to replaced A phone when it arrived I found it broken before shipment I sent A email to seller they did not even respond back.I new I had been taken adwantage of at A cost of more than 80.00 Iam thinking of stopping my ebay buying.

I DID NOT GET THIS PHONE AND WILL NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER AGAIN.I LEARNED TO READ THE FINE PRINT ....TWICE :(

I do not feel strongly one way or the other. It works.. I'm using it right now to post this review...
