Nokia has gone back to basics with the 6101 clamshell -- a well-made, easy to use phone that proves the value of doing the simple things well.

    Very poor clarity and volume

    Intermittend problems with clarity and very very low volume. Bought 2 phones, My wife is on her 2nd and having problems again. I am on my 4th now with problems again. All with same problem. This is over a 5 week period form first getting phones

    Great Value & Ease of Use

    A great phone with everything you ever needed. Got it from Virgin mobile for $120 outright when the special offer was on, a real bargain :)

    NOKIA NEVER, EVER GAVE ME A PROBLEM!!!!

    The best idea Nokia ever concocted was a flip version of their simple to use cell phones!!!!! (What were they waiting on???) I truly anticipated the arrival of a flip phone version birthed by Nokia and whatda' you know, they grant my wish! I love the fact that this sleek & smooth to the touch phone can take self-portraits without you opening the flip (just press and hold the right silver button while the flip is closed) and in addition, beneath that silver button on the right is a black infrared port that allows you to beam pictures u might have in your personal files on your computer! (after right clicking and saving any pic to your 'my pictues' file, just line up the black infrared port underneath the silver button on the right with your infrared port on your computer and presto! your computer will give you the option of sending a pic to your phone!)I never used the infrared technology on my laptop until now. There are more goodies on this great phone, so I give Nokia an A for accomplished...the mission for a great flip phone, that is.

    Screen blacks out from time to time

    I have just bought this phone. The first one was returned because of problems with the screen blacking out in spots, the second one is also going back. This shouldn't be happening!

    Fantastic, user friendly

    After having 4 other Nokia phones this one I truly like - I have bought the cradle for my car and it fits perfectly One thing that I have found difficult is getting ring tones for it.

    Solid, Basic, Reliable

    Love this, It's all I need and nothing I don't. No bluetooth (whatever that is), iTunes (who cares?), or any of the new bells and whistles that phones are coming with and that's fine. It has a signal where my last phone didn't, and I love the design!

    Maddd

    I got the white one and it looks so cool, no problems, no delays, battery lasts for 5 days before it goes flat. And no problems with the reception!

    Just bought it

    i just bought this phone and rated it thumbs up to up the percentage of positive feedback. I hope it's a good phone. Sounds good for what I want it for and I saved about $100 which is fine by me.
