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.

Experience: 1 Years
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.
