But that's not all this phone offers, it also includes a external mini display supporting up to 4,096 colors (96 x 65 pixels).
Depending on the carrier you have selected this phone is PTT Capable, which means you can use your handheld to Push-to-Talk another person with PTT Service, within the same network of... Flipping open the 6101/6102, consumers can use SMS (Short Messaging Service). Adding multimedia to words, MMS (Multimedia Message Service) lets users attach photos taken with the 6101/6102's VGA camera.
Able to capture that vacation sunset and/or record that birthday bash, consumers can use MMS to send more than text by creating digital vacation greetings or birthday video postcards. The 6101/6102 comes with common applications such as Alarm Clock, Calculator, Date book, Instant Messaging, and Voice Records. Additionally, users can access POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP protocols for 3rd party email access.
But users aren't just limited to what comes preinstalled on the 6101/6102. Built on the J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) platform, consumers can purchase and download Java-based applications to install on the 6101/6102. Through... Running on EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution) data network, consumers can transfer files and browse the web at up to 70-135 kbps, two to three times faster than traditional GPRS networks.
Currently in over 13,000 U.S. cities and towns and more than 39,000 miles of U.S. highways, EDGE reaches nearly 253 million people. Still growing, international EDGE and GPRS roaming is also available in more than 80 countries. Pros: Sync'ing with Outlook; ease of use; camera/video; speaker phone; alarm; customizable Go To menu for most often used items. Cons: No longer top of the line. Old version doesn't support Bluetooth, but the newer version does. Summary: I bought this phone before it was revamped for Bluetooth and before the new Razor and all that jazz. It's a solid phone and I'm still very happy with it. The camera takes about average pics, as far as camera phones go, but I find this one very easy to use. I also love Nokia's PC Suite that you can download for free. It allows you to sync your phone with the Contacts in Outlook, which makes switching over to this phone a breeze if you are an Outlook user. The ability to customize the quick Go To menu has saved me a lot of time, as all the items I use over and over again are just right there. I don't have to dig through the menu for them. I put my Silent and Normal profile there, as well as Infared mode for sync'ing and the Alarm Clock, which I now use all the time. So, battery and antenna power? I'd rank them around average / expected. The battery lasts a lot longer than my last phone, which was horrible. The antenna power is pretty decent, but who couldn't use more? My only regret is having the older version of 6101 and not being able to use those cool Bluetooth headphones. There is a more recent version of 6101 that does support Bluetooth. 9 out of 34 people found this review helpful Pros: Many features and all work great. Cons: The 6101's keypad numbers tend to wear off. Summary: I did buy another one and until I find a better phone I probably will again if needed. 23 out of 47 people found this review helpful Pros: radio, camera, audio recorder, e-mail access, durable Cons: N/A Summary: This phone is very nice. The radio is a great feature to have. 28 out of 60 people found this review helpful Pros: very happy wit it Cons: none Summary: I really like this phone and have had no problems with it. It is easy to use and very comfortable. I could find nothing wrong with it. Would definitely buy it again. 20 out of 45 people found this review helpful Pros: Seems to get good reception! Takes a beating and keeps on ringing! (I've dropped mine SEVERAL times... even had the battery fly out twice!) and it still works great! Cons: Inside display screen is scratched from the keypad. Simply carring it in my pocket shouldn't rub the keypad against the screen that bad. The battery hasn't lasted long... it simply won't hold a charge more than 2 days now where it was origionally 3-4 days. The displ;ay isn't as clear as the Samsung phone I did have, but being able to display 2 different pictures is fun. Summary: We have a family plan & my husband's mini screen shorted out but our carrier sent a replacement quickly & we haven't had any problems with it or the other 2 phones like it we have. The camera phone is fun and it's got video capabilities. (Which my 7 year old loves!) All in all it's a pretty good phone. 13 out of 40 people found this review helpful Buying choicesWith new service  This item is not being sold with a service plan by any online merchant.
