In a nutshell: This is a good entry-level 3G phone with
a classic user-friendly design. Features include a 2 megapixel camera
with flash, MP3 player and FM radio. With the capacity to expand
its memory to 4 GB, and with reasonable battery life, this is a
recommended phone for those who don't need to have the latest gadget-laden
fashion phone.
Review:
August 2008. Updated May 2009.
The Nokia 3120 Classic is an entry-level 3G phone,
and follows Nokia's tradition of producing classic no-nonsense phones.
There isn't too much to go wrong with the 3120 Classic, and indeed
it seems to be pretty much problem-free, although the audio quality
isn't Nokia's best.
It's a very lightweight slim phone that will slot
into any pocket. Although plasticky in look
and feel, it seems to be sturdy enough to withstand everyday abuse.
The keypad is a good size and is very easy to use, with sensibly
shaped buttons and good, positive feedback. The display is a good
size at 2.0 inches across, and over-delivers when it comes to colours
(16 million!) and resolution (QVGA, i.e. 320 x 240 pixels - as good
as most high-end phones costing much more.) Gone are the days when
Nokia produced sub-standard LCD screens in its entry level phones.
As mentioned, this is a 3G phone that also supports
quadband GSM, so you can literally use it wherever you travel. It's
equipped with a decent enough 2 megapixel camera with flash, and
can record videos and make 2-way video calls. It's certainly not
the best camera phone around, and it can't match the Sony
Ericsson K770i that costs only a little more, but it holds its
own against many similarly priced competitors. As well as taking
pictures the 3120 Classic will also play your music collection or
let you listen to its FM radio. If you buy a 3.5mm headphone adapter
you can plug in your own stereo headphones, or you can use a stereo
Bluetooth headset if you prefer. With an
onboard memory of just 24 Mbytes, you'll only be able to store a
handful of MP3 tracks, but you can expand the memory to 4GB with
a microSD card, giving you enough room to store around 1,000 MP3's.
You'll also find a good range of other features
such as Java downloads, wallpaper, ringtones & themes, an Opera
mini browser for mobile web surfing, and a good organiser.
Battery life is acceptable, but don't believe Nokia's
official figures of 12.5 days' standby. Most users should get a
few days' usage, which is better than many 3G phones.
The Nokia 3120 may not be the phone to buy if you
want all the latest gadgets, or if you plan to wow your mates in
the pub, but for a good no-nonsense usable phone, this one does
the job very well indeed.
Features of the Nokia 3110 Classic
include:
2 megapixel camera with flash
Video recorder & 3G video calling
Display: TFT, 16 million colours, 240 x 320
pixels (2.0 inches)
Stereo MP3 player (MP3, MP4, AAC, eAAC+ and
Windows Media Player formats & OMA DRM 2.0)

well i dont normally post reviews but i like this phone so much...
purchased last week, does everything i need it to do, as im on 3g,
i find it difficult to get signal in my area, but with this phone
it actually works, onboard memory is very low but Just found a micro
sd card, so now i can play all my mp3 tracks.. landed :) takes good
photos too considering it is only a 2mp camera. keypad takes a bit
of getting used too, as ive just come from using a sony ericsson
but starting to get the hang of it now. battery life is superb,
considering i use it for internet, call, texts etc... easily the
best phone ive had in terms of battery life (unless you count the
old nokia phones!) I only paid 60quid for it delivered, so im well
impressed, my only quibble is i wish i bought it sooner :) paul

I got mine about six months ago, on my existing three contract.
For the first time I actually use my phone regularly to listen to
music. I use a Nokia bluetooth stereo headset, which is quite convinient
for cycling, as you don't need to worry about missing a call either.
I bought a micro SDHC card for about £3 to expand its memory. The
battery life is quite reasonable. For moderate use (say 45min of
music over bluetooth, 20 min call, a couple of texts and 30min gaming
each day), you only need to re-charge it once every 3-4 days. I
also use it for playing music over my surround sound system at home,
which has bluetooth. I must admit, it has crashed a few times (restarted
itself) when I was trying to play music over bluetooth, having just
updated the SD card on my computer, but overall the performance
and usability is quite acceptable and much better than any other
phones in the same range that I have seen. Another very nice feature
is that it is slim and lightweight, and you can actually carry it
around in your pocket (something that I was never comfortable to
do with my other phones). Rating:

Been with this phone for 2 weeks now and I can say that I made a
great choice. As you can see Nokia is creating lots of Classics
and almost all of them are wonderful just like this one - Nokia
3120 Classic. I was using my 6 month old Nokia 1209 and that one
is a workhorse, though small it is very sturdy and reliable. However,
I need to replace it for I need a quadband phone and found this
one and it's a gem. Though plastic, it is solid...very good call
clarity for it has a Call Clarity feature, slim physique, good camera,
decent video recorder (CIF) which is better than QCIF, and a well
appreciated battery life. Before I selected this phone, I was thinking
which one to buy - Nokia 3610 fold or this one. Well, I like the
fold design but it is a little expensive and feature-wise it does
not match the 3120 Classic. This one has a visual radio too, one
thing it lacks is the Nokia Maps and sad to say it is not downloadable
as of now for S40 UI. Considering what you will get - 2MP Camera,
Quadband, good keypad, cool battery life, solid construction, and
reasonable price - this one is a wonderful investment. Get it you
won't be disappointed. Rating:

Just bought the phone yesterday as an early Christmas present for
my wife. She loves it, I mean we love it. Took some pictures of
the kids with the flash. Photo quality is not as good as digital
cameras but for casual and ad hoc photo taking, it is more than
enough. First thing my wife said when she put it in her trouser
pocket, "Wow! It is so slim and sleek." We have yet tested out its
3G video calling because the area where we live has no 3G coverage.
We have to go to the town to have 3G coverage. The screen and colors
are as good as my 6300. I am a little worry about its plastic casing.
Although it feels good and light to hold, it is kind of fragile.
The phone also comes with PTT (Push-To-Talk). So she can use it
like a walkie-talkie to communicate with me whole day during an
outing. The phone is great and we think it is worth it at this price
with so many features especially the 3G video calling, PTT etc. Rating:

A cheap 3G phone which does exactly what it is supposed to do. Video
camera is excellent, though if you move it fast while recording

so is volume, though call volume does not seem to be adjustable.
Ringtones are loud enough, battery life seems good so far. Camera
is decent quality, though colours can be messed up, especially in
photos with both dark areas and very bright areas. Buttons and keypad
are good, the back of the phone is clipped on very tightly. Menus
are quick and do not lag, you can switch between GMS and UMTS (3G)
networks. The screen is great quality, nice and bright, but the
flash for the camera is not; even in dark areas, photos look better
without the flash. Without the flash, photos come out fairly grainy,
but do not come out particularly dark. Menus are easy to navigate,
and the "graphite" theme looks very nice. Phone switches on quickly
and has never crashed on me. Rating:

This is a good phone considering the price,but still has some flaws.For
example I was so annoyed that it doesn`t show call timer during
a call so you don`t know how long you have been talking.Can someone
please tell me if this is fixable?Also the camera isn`t very good
indoor and neither outdoor. Rating:

It doe's what is says on the box. Nothing special about this budget
'phone, particularly disappointed with the quality. My screen scratched
badly within the first couple of days, the supplier was not interested.
I have had an old Nokia 1600 for ages and the the quality of materials
is far superior and still lokks in better condition than the Classic.

p.s. If you get the Nokia 3120 on the 3 network be forewarned that
it is NOT compatible with Skype. Also, the memory card slot is very
sticky. The card does not "click" in correctly. I've tried a number
of different cards, all the same problem. On the plus side though,
the battery life is pretty good and the screen image is great for
the price :-) Rating:

I was really disappointed with the camera result on this set, I
was using the LG KG200 for the last year and even its 1.3MP camera
gave me better results when outside. Otherwise It’s the best

The great thing about the Nokia 3120 is its simplicity. It's a no-fuss
phone that gets the job done. On the outside however it's a different
story. The half-curvy shape of the phone feels strange, sort of
unbalanced. The keypad feels odd and cheap. If Nokia had matached
the efficient interior with a more classic exterior this could have
been a top mid-range phone. For £50 on PAYG though can't really
complain. p.s. Nokia don't include proper stereo earphones. Rating:

Bought this to replace my 3110 Classic as it had 3G and a bigger
screen. Not impressed. Tacky, and the case started creaking after
less than 20 minutes. Poor keypad, or as Nokia call it, a keymat,
which actually is more accurate. Such good potential but let down
by Nokia again being cheap and using poor materials. Have just been
online and bought a new 3110 Classic instead, so I am sending the
3120 Classic back to it's supplier. Shame. Rating:

The fone grabs all the stars. A wonderful product by the Nokia,
once again putting their flag high. The fone is superb in functions
and provides best call receptionand call quality. Great looks, trendy
design, spacious key pad, extensive phone book, and latest pre installed
applications like widsets, mini opera, yahoo search and many others
are surely a big catch to buy the fone. The camera quality is also
very good and puts many contemporaries on shame. In short, get it

I had to replace my Nokia 6300 because 3 are updating their network,
so I needed a 3G phone. I bought the 3120 Classic as it was one
of the cheaper phones available. Its a great little phone, very
lightweight, great resolution bright screen, easy to navigate and
has a great 2MP camera with flash. The flash makes all the difference,
my old 6300 simply could not perform in lower light conditions.
The flash removes the dither(picture noise), the 1600x1200 images
look great. The 3120 records video at up to 640x480 and is of a
very high quality, it easily outshines the 6300s 176x144 recording.
One thing I highly recommend is buying a decent size microSD card
for the phone, if you want to record video, store videos, MP3s,
pictures etc. According to Nokia's website the 3120 takes cards
up to 4GB in size, although that seems a little unnecessary unless
you plan on recording a lot of videos, 1GB or 2GB would be sufficient
in most cases. With a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter any headphones can
be used with the phone, these can be bought very cheap online. Playing
videos on the screen is great, especially in fullscreen mode which
fills the screen nicely(the 6300 had an odd fullscreen mode). The
phone came with a few games but the only one of any worth is Sudoku,
100 easy, 100 medium and 100 hard puzzles and only 78KB, amazing.
The 3120 has a lot of multimedia functionality but works just as
well just as a phone, in making calls its nice and clear, the ringing
tone is loud and the ringtone can be any MP3 stored on the phone
or memory card(I'm currently using the Sopranos theme). I highly
recommend the Nokia 3120 Classic, its a great little handset and
is a steal at £69.99 Rating:

how light. Brilliant, and very user friendly when holding, due to
the curved lower half. Also the keys on the front are a good size

Great litle phone for the price. has good quality 2mp pics, great
sound quality and with a large micro memory card inserted can carry
heaps of music and pics. Not the best looking phone around and made
of only plastic, but they had to keep the price down in some way.
Would easily match other phones of up to double the price range
in features. So if your not fussed about the design this is a great
phone with heaps of features for a fraction of the price. One small
letdown is it hasn't got speakerphone, thats about the only fault. Rating:
