Nokia 6103 (T-Mobile)

I bought the NewPhone Nokia 6103 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a pixel camera, video camera, bluetooth and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.

It has many features include a camera. It is alos user friendly as Nokia phones always are for me. The download features make it easy to share pictures with others.

all is good, i had the same type of phone before, so i was satisfied with everything..............................................................................................................................thanx

I am the owner of a 1-year-old Samsung t219, which I obtained new from a T-Mobile store. I am now the owner of a battered, used Nokia 6103, which I obtained on ebay. Regardless of the differences in features, I find the Nokia 6103 far better than the Samsung t219 in signal reception/transmission and in battery life. At home, my Samsung t219 often dropped calls, while my used Nokia 6103 does not. My Samsung t219 often had battery life problems which caused me to buy two aftermarket batteries; the used Nokia 6103 has great battery life, still with the original battery.
I do not use the camera on the Nokia, neither do I use the Bluetooth capabilty, but I am glad to have these features for the future.

this phone is compact, very efficent, display is vibrant, fm radio is a plus well you know it has a camera alarm features are excellent, calculator everything that I need. Nothing negative to say about phone.

It's a good basic phone that is easy to read and easy to program. The spring on my previous one broke and I didn't want ot buy it from T-Mobile as it was more money and then they lock you into another 2 year contract. The negative is the selection of phone ringers and message alerts are very limited. Otherwise it's a good solid phone if you don't need the internet or PDA feature.

I purchased this phone for my dad.It is easy to use not to difficult and he can see the screen and the numbers are the right size.My dad has big hands so this works great for him.It also has a really long battery life.

Great phone for an older one. The thing I like most about this phone is that you can enlarge the font big enough to see if you have bad vision.

This phone was the best phone as far as features,reception,user friendly.that my wife and i ever owned,but both of our phones literally fell apart after about 9 to 10 months! I also know another person who had already had two replacements in 2 months... Nokia usually makes great phones,but they failed misserably on the durability factor with this one!!!

The memory is not a lot, compare to most phones, however, the picture quality when e-mailed, is great! Nice features, such as voice recording that you can set as your own ring tones and two different pictures for your mini and max screen.
All in All, it's a good little phone. Just don't drop it face down due to ez screen breakage.

Fast Shipping, professional seller and product was in perfect condition. A+
Very happy with the Nokia 6103, battery lasts almost a week and never switches off. Signal is very good.

i did not recieve the item.i opend up a dispute and still dont have my money back.lets see how it plays out.

As a wireless telephony engineer for 20 years I know that Nokia makes the best receivers in the business. This Nokia is no different. The phone works excellently....especially noticeable in areas of weak signal where others won't work at all. Menus are friendly, bluetooth works flawlessly.
I recommend Nokia phones to anyone who plans to TALK on their phone rather than take pictures, play music, etc.

I like the styling, performance and ease of use. Its a solid phone and the bluetooth works well. Unfortunately the little silver cap on the antanae fell off on my origninal phone and the replacement I puchased on Ebay. The original got dropped in a vat of soup and I liked it enough to purchase another.

It is a flip style phone with Great Reception I use a Bluetooth Headset with it and I am very happy with it.
I bought to replace A Samsung Trace Bar Type phone which I did not like

This is a durable phone. Ran over with my f150 and it still works! I was amazed that all it did was break the hinge. I mean, it still flips, just a little loose!

Phone hinge broke 13 days after reciving it. Listed as a brand new never used phone, and now I have a phone that is broke and I will have to pay to have fixed. Phone was not dropped or abused in any way. I am extremly careful with my cell phones. I also had one identical to this one I won off of ebay, and it to broke at the hinge, but not untill after more than one years use.

The actual NOKIA 6103 phone is good but STAY AWAY FROM T-MOBILE AT ALL COST!! T-MOBILE is the KING of BAIT & SWITCH SCAM O RAMA and when you file a formal BBB Complaint on line they try to BLAME the people who PROMISED you the world to sign up and got nothing! T-Mobile PROMISED us FREE NIGHTS & WEEKENDS,FREE ACTIVATIONS and FREE $50.00 REBATES for each of the 3 phones.....WE WERE SCAMMED BY T-MOBILE because they DID CHARGE US ACTIVATIONS of about $35 EACH phone x 3 phones, We were told when we called to check the status of our REBATES that NONE of our 3 phones had ANY REBATES and that is why Damion at Chapel Hill Mall,Akron Ohio said HE WOULD MAIL THEM IN FOR US...And the icing on the cake was when we got our first $300 Phone bill because you guessed it...T-MOBILE SCAMMED US AGAIN because while we were PROMISED Free Nights & Weekends...we did NOT receive it and had to PAY OVER $300 IN OVERAGE CHARGES and T-MOBILE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FOR US EVEN AFTER FILING A BBB COMPLAINT AT www.bbb.org Go online and LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS AGAINST T-MOBILE at the Better Business Burea Website and I am 100% SURE you will NOT even THINK of getting SCAMMED by T-MOBILES LIES AND DECEPTION as we fell prey to...But anyways the Nokia is a pretty nice phone...just do NOT DO BUSINESS WITH T-MOBILE!

Its a good phone, it has good signal but very very poor audio. I mean the audio is low even if you have the volume max up. I guess thats the only bad feature that I found in this phone. Very low audio even in speaker phone. Could of been better. On really crowded or in noise places you will have a hard time hearing the caller.

I already had one of these phones prior to purchasing another via ebay.
It is a great phone. I wanted to get a "back-up" in case something happened to mine. Everytime I find a cell phone that I like, it is discontinued. Nokia phones have always been my favorite for ease of use and reliability. The only thing I would change on the 6103 is the screen has a wear line due to the buttons that protrude and scratch it when closed. Maybe that could be fine tuned for the next model.

Item was excellent. Great seller - fast fast delivery!! I would definitely buy again from this seller...Thanks!

The phone was good quality and in very good condition. All books and extra parts were in the box. I decided to purchase because my motorola phone was starting to act up and I wanted another phone before it went down.
There is nothing I dislike about the nokia phone. Very good experience.

Nokia's 6103b gives you a camera, media player, FM radio, the Internet, instant messaging and it also makes phone calls. Some of this it does well, some of it the handset does less well.

First the strong points of this unit.

It is small and light.
It has excellent battery life.
The back-lit keys are easy to use even for my largish fingers.
Interior display is bright enough for all interiors.
Call quality is excellent (T-Mobile®/Oklahoma City), I've never dropped a call.
User interface is easy to navigate.
It has a camera and shoots video.
It is 850 MHz band capable.
Bluetooth®, pop-port™ and IrDA features allow PC and inter-unit connectivity.
It has a full color exterior screen.
Voice dialing is accurate at picking out the correct address book entry. Because it recognizes pre-recorded voice tags it is not capable of dialing a new number from the user saying the digits.
The unit allows a fair amount personalization The FM radio works surprising well.

Relative weaknesses of this device:

There is distortion from the lens. Straight lines are curved.
There is minimal user memory available. It is not expandable and fills quickly.
Too small case bumpers lead to unavoidable damage to the interior LCD screen from keyboard - screen interference. An extra .5mm of latex in the bumpers might have mitigated this design flaw.
T-Mobile® firmware limits Internet access, but with the limited available memory it's not the only constriction on Internet use.
The main screen is next to invisible in most outdoor settings. Deep shade is the only hope for seeing what is on the screen when outside. This makes the voice-dialing feature even more valuable than it might otherwise be.
It has a too small maximum jar size for java applications. It limits what you can shoehorn into the inadequate memory.
Radio function requires attaching an enhancement. That's Nokiaspeak for a headset.

Personal Experience

When I picked out this handset at the T-Mobile® store I had many from which to choose. I picked this one based solely on the keypad. It was the easiest to use. In basic phone functions, dialing and transmitting and receiving voice it is excellent. The auxiliary functions are where the compromises and trade-offs become apparent. I used this mobile telephone for about a month before having it flashed, unlocked and decustomised (v.4.90). The good points are still good, the poor points, except for the Internet access issue, remain. Flashing has actually helped the battery life.

Would I recommend this handset to another person? Yes! I bought one for my son as an upgrade from his Nokia® 3390.

The Bluetooth® and pop-port™ connections make use of the Nokia® PC Suite very simple. The IrDA allows my son and me to quickly transfer information between the phones. How cool is that? My address book automatically updates whenever I walk into the room where I keep my computer. The Bluetooth® ability allows me to use the phone without tying up my hands and having to hold the handset to my ear. I like this a lot. Folks sharing the road with me like it also.

The camera is just so-so. It is VGA (480 x 640) resolution so printing anything bigger than 3 x 5 is going to look grainy and blocky. The lens is pathetic. There is no such thing as a straight line with this camera.

If you need to make a phone call this is an excellent device. Overall, it was a good first phone.

I bought it because I wanted a cell phone but didn't want to spend huge money on a contract. so I decided on a pay as you go plan, so far, I like it alot, I bought a 100 minutes and it will last me all through the summer.

Only thing I can find wrong with it, in some areas I have bad connections, but that happens to all plans.

Phone is great and this saved me a bundle, since I did not have to buy a new phone. The shipment was quick, the phone works great and my wallet did not have to take a hit by buying a new phone. THANKS
