Nokia 6100 Review

Very similar in spec to the 7210/6610, the Nokia 6100 offers a colour screen, polyphonic ringtones, triple band, as well as Java™ capability. Its keypad is user-friendly and incorporates a nice 4-way scroll button. The Java capability means that you can download games just as easily as downloading ringtones or graphics. As well as Java games, you can also download applications like personal assistants, travel and information tools. Pre-installed Java applications include a calculator, currency and measurement converter, stopwatch, and two games.
MMS means that you can send and receive multimedia messages containing text, MIDI audio files, and graphics or animations.
The digital camera option comes as a camera/headset that plugs into the Nokia 6100's pop-port.
The Nokia 6100 is a nice enough phone, but its only real WOW factor is its light weight. Its specification is lower than the Nokia 7210 or Nokia 6610 and users have reported a number of reliability issues - see the user reviews below for example.
