Review: Nokia 6020

Nokia 6020 Review

Phone rating:

The Nokia 6020 is a mid-range business-orientated camera phone with a decent range of features.

The 6020 has a sensible keypad design and is a compact size. The joystick and rectangular keypad layout make it easy to use, and the menus are also intuitive, making it easy to access the phone's functions. The personal organiser is well thought-out, with an extensive calendar function to manage your daily schedules, meetings, and events. Voice commands, an integrated handsfree speaker and fast data access complete the essential functions needed by most business users.

The phone comes with a basic digital camera and a camcorder capable of recording video clips of up to 50 seconds, but imaging is not the 6020's strongest point. The small display with a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels is inadequate for a phone of this type and is one of the poorest in any phone of this class. Connectivity is also quite basic, with Bluetooth being an obvious ommission.

It seems that the 6020 is intended to be a budget business phone, but it might have been more successful if the camera and camcorder had been ommitted and a Bluetooth wireless connection and larger screen added. The 6020 is trying to be a jack of all trades, but is master of none.

Features of the Nokia 6020 include:

• Display: 65,536 colours, 128 x 128 pixels
• Integrated VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels)
• Camcorder for clips up to 50 seconds
• Dedicated Push to Talk button
• Joystick
• Voice Features: voice dialing, voice commands, voice recorder
• Integrated handsfree speaker
• 16-voice polyphonic ringtones
• SMS, MMS, email (POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP), instant messaging
• Predictive text
• Downloadable Java ™applications
• Personal organiser with extensive calendar and contacts
• xHTML browser
• Mobile wallet
• WAP, GPRS, HSCSD, EGPRS (up to 177.6 kbps)
• Connectivity: USB
• Triband
• Size: 106 x 44 x 20 mm
• Weight: 90g
• Talktime: 3 hours
• Battery standby: up to 14 days

This phone is ok generally, but it would have been adorable if not for the conspicuous omission of bluetooth and provision for an additional memory.Bcos its memory is quite small.

It is quite difficult to accept the obvious omission of bluetooth in this beautiful device. Think a swap of some other almost irrelevant function for a bluetooth will earn this phone 5 stars.

Hi .. a different kind of review I think but I thought I might do it .. as it might help a few people. Here it comes .. I have Parkinsons and have to take medication punctally 5x a day. For a long time I have been looking for a small device where I can set alarms for that often .. nobody could help me, not even 'professionals' with Virgings, where I bought my mobile from. People will understand my delight when by playing around with my Nokia 6920 I found this facility in MEETINGS - I have now set up an alarm that happily and loudly chimes and vibrates 5x a day and to crown it all the repeat function allows me to keep this function eternally .. almost that is if I do not change the mob. I am happy allround with my nokia, except for memory < too little, the screen < too small and the camera < lens is not strong/sharp enough. By the way . is anybody out there who could explain to an old lady [that's ME] how to save images from the nokia 6020 via ifrared to my laptop? I would be so grateful.

This is an excellent phone for what I need it for. Has a great mix between tech-savvy features (such as all the messaging options, infrared, push-to-talk) and novelty features such as the camera. Memory is too small, however to make the camera and recordings really useful. It's a great quality phone with a sensible design. I've been looking for a no-bull phone for a long time now and finally I've found this one from my favourite manufacturer, Nokia!

I got this mobile last August for a birthday present. I was very surprised (a good surprise) that it had a very good battery life. I am a school girl and have my mobile on 24/7 and the phone still managed to last 5 days without charging!! I want the Samsung E350 in pink next as I think it looks and sounds great - one thing I didn't look at in detail was the look of the phone as it does look rather business like and it isn't really the look I wanted, but that is my own fault for not looking!! Altogether this is a great phone with many good features and because it being a Nokia it has a great menu. If you like Nokia and you want some fun features buy this mobile and go for it!! :-)

I'm finding my 6020 quite good. Unlike many people, I like my phone to first and foremost be a good communications device -that is a good phone and text messaging platform. I have little use for games, themes, wallpapers, custom ringtones etc. The only extra I get any mileage out of is the camera. So for me, this phone is decent. I find it attractive, and it makes/recieves calls. The camera is average, which is to say it takes pictures but it's no Nikon. I'm quite happy with it.

The storage is so small it doesn't even fit a few pictues let alone other stuff. I'm getting samsung e350 wich is much better. I would recommend people to get that or get samsung d500 or d600.

The phone is quite attractive and has many features but lacks Bluetooth and MP3. The camera quality is only average at best and the phone memory is very limited. Ring tones are polyphonic but lack the sound quality that other phones have. Call quality is OK and battery life is good. It's easy to use and has a joystick for easy navigation through the menu system. The phone also seems quite tough. It's been dropped a few times in the street and apart from scratches, it hasn't broken or fallen to pieces and still works fine. If you want a good set of features for your money, then this phone is OK. If you want quality sound, large memory and perhaps Bluetooth and MP3, look elsewhere.

I purchased my new Nokia 6020 yesterday (9-02-'06) as an upgrade from a Siemens C60. I had my heart set on a Nokia 6021 but that is "Bill-Pay" only and I am a devout and practising follower of the "Pre-Pay" system! The 6020 is an instrument I am beginning to love and I think it deserves the five stars I am awarding it. I have read other reviews of other mobiles and I am stymied! How could an object such as a mobile phone be called "sexy"?

An excellent number of messages storage.. and added with a very good collection graphics, tones & logos.. Nokia's 6020 main defect is its memory.. Its really terrible not more than 2MB I guess..

If I had to sum this phone up, then I'd say it's pretty bad. I actually received the phone as an upgrade and an extension to my T-Mobile contract. I had the Sharp TM100 which is much more better in terms of meory size, screen size and the picture quality was mind blowing. I feel with the 6020, the picture quality is mediocre bordering on rubbish and after taking a couple of shots, the memory vanishes. Theres no option to extend the memory via SD and the Video Recorder only captures upto around a minute of recording. It has no Bluetooth and connectivity is only the outdated IrDa port and EDGE/EGPRS which doesn't make much of a difference to this phone because you still require the memory for some serious video streaming, which is becoming more standard on most next gen phones. But NO, not this phone. Easy. Safe. Laters rude bwoys and gals!!

I got this handphone a week ago for Christmas, and it turned out pretty okay. Good colour screen (after using a Nokia 3100), lovely keypads and it looks very stylish. Main problem is: The memory is EXTREMELY terrible! After taking a couple of video's (with a VGA camera that I sum up as average only), all the memory in my 6020 was gone! If only Nokia had thought to put in more memory... Anyways im "already" eye-ing the SE 750i which cost about the same, but has MP3, better camera and much more memory.

Compared to other sony ericsson phones, this phone is definitely not as good as the sony ones. Nokia 6020 has very limited memory compared to most of the se phones. The camera quality is average. The joystick is not very good as it is hard to press it compared to the se joysticks. The sound quality is terrible and cant play high notes at all. Recordings are very blur and it doesn't have a filter. The se phones have much better sound quality and recordings are also not blur.

Ive had this fone for 2 days, and been paying about with its features and things. Its got a wide range of diffrent features on it, one being the camra, witch is quiet good quality i think! And you can take vidieo clips that are good quality too. You can change the color scheem, witch is allways a good thing for pepole whjo like colors! and you can change the background to any pic on your phone (standard i know, but its worth a menshon). Its got a good wap browser, all easey to use! In genral this is a mint fone for what your paying! Really clear bright screen! The only bad things about the fone i feel is that its not got a big memory, the keys are seprated a little bit so dust can get in, it hasent got bluetooth and if i made the fone, ide get rid of the joy stick on it. But overall, if your thinking of buying a phone and you dont want an amazing fone thats going to make you taost in the morning, then buy this one, because i think you will like it. And also i think you can change the covers, but i dont know for sure!

I think this phone's quite good. It's got a camera, voice recorder, infrared, push to talk(though it's not available here) and many more nice things. But what I don't like about this phone is that u can take only 50-70 picz in the standard photo, and its video length is only 50 seconds. Also, the gallery gets full too fast. But it's got infrared, and that helps a lot when i wana exchange stuffs between my cell n my sis's one. I must say its photo quality is really fine, too. In short, it's a nice, little phone with quite a number of goodies.

The Nokia 6020 is quite a good phone. It's a great improvement on the 6610i which I had before. Pros: Display is clear and bright. Photo quality is not bad. The same goes for video recordings (although jerky). You can change the message tone to any ringtone. Some mobile phones (e.g. Samsung, Sony Ericsson) limit you to only a few tones. Very user-friendly Easy to type SMS's. The T9 dictionary stays switched off if you switch it off. Shortcut keys Very useful calendar Good sound quality Voice recorder Message/SMS counter Most games you download work on Nokia phones. Can play .amr and .mid tones. Stopwatch, countdown timer, calculator You can download any size wallpaper and it will stretch to fill the screen. Profiles you can customise (not only Silent). The alarm rings even when the phone is switched off. Cons: You cannot change the reminder tone. You can also not set the duration and volume of the alarm, message and reminder tones, as you can on the Sharp GX15. Mine is not a Vodafone. Get a Vodafone! Push to Talk is not functional in South Africa. If you press the joystick by accident to the right, the PTT groups appear. Small memory (only 2.5 MB) The phone cannot play .mmf and .mp3 tones. The display is not clear in sunlight. The backlight switches off too quickly, and you cannot do anything about it. Some phones allow you to specify how long you want the backlight to stay switched on. No flashlight I don't regret buying this phone.

I am using this phone for a month now and i think this is a good buy considering the price paid for. The phone looks really sexy and the picture quality is great than the average phone and even better when compared with some of those high-priced phones. Keypad is good and the excellent part about this phone is the voice quality, simply great. camcorder, not really fascinating as you can't expect it to be in a mobile phone of this price range. Battery life is good. lasts upto 4 days. Voice recorder is the plus point too and you can record songs and music and then create your own ringtones too and fits in pocket easily too. the bad thing about this phone is "nokia should have thought of something about the dirt problem in the screen. It really gets dirty in few days and one more thing unconvincing is it is hard to read in sunlight and in fluorescent light. all in all, a good phone with SOME features. (blue tooth and a slightly larger screen would be better instead of camcorder if nokia wants to make this phone rated "A"). it deserves 4/5 stars.

I've been using this phone for about a month now, it's the first one I've owned with integrated camera. It's a BASIC phone yet it does many things very well. The camera is VGA (640x480) but it has surprising good colour balance, even indoors under incandescent lighting (My Olympus C8080 takes orangey pictures in AUTO, while the Nokia's overall color balance looked better, a pleasant surprise). The beauty of having this built-in camera capability is that you can pretty well take a picture anywhere you are, then share your experience with someone else by sending it immediately to another mobile phone or to an email address, then they'll see what you are seeing. Same goes for recorded sounds (sounds are almost impossible to share with a PC though, it uses the .amr sound format not recognized by the usual PC players). Get the CA-42 cable to transfer pictures and backup your data to PC (Nokia wants an arm and a leg for this cable, but you can find clone ones for one-third the pric e). Volume of audio is a bit on the low side, and so is memory which is non-expandable. Like I said, it is a basic phone for a budget price and one should not expect unreasonable performance at this price point. I also like the candy bar shape, and the fact that no antenna is protruding. Easily fits in your pocket. I attached a camera strap to it because it has slippery surfaces and is easy to drop. Battery life is excellent, it lasts me about 4 days even after constant playing with all the features. A good unit, I'm very pleased with it.

For the price range that this phone is in, Id say its a good buy. For starters, I just want to say a better alternitive is the Sony Ericsson T630, it lacks a video function, but the screen and camera are just a tad better then the 6020. But getting back to the Nokia 6020. I bought this phone just for kicks. I paid roughly 150$ us. I expected that the phone would have fallen short of anything usefull, but I was wrong. Like said in this price range, the features are great. Theres alot of other phones in the same price range, which dont offer a camera, a TFT 65k screen, and video. The screen is ok, but it does get washed out in direct sunlight, and on occastion, I have had trouble reading it in flourescent lighting. The camera is of standard VGA (640*480) resolution which wont make a very good digital camera, but then again, its in a low priced entry phone, but pictures are good enough quality to send as MMS. The video recording is ok, good for sending as MMS there too. (Although the length is extremly limited) The sound quality is actually above average in this phone. Something I found very pleasing. I could hear even though there was alot of background noise. (living in oslo is just like New York. Think of all the cars, people talking etc.) The standard PIM features are good. Has a calender with simple reminders and such. Phone book is ok, lets you store quite a few numbers. (I have had 232 contacts on my phone!) The memory is the biggest gripe Ive had about this phone, at only 2,5mb, your not going to be taking to many pictures, filming too much, or recieiving alot of MMS. (which really bites the big one, because theres alot of MMS messeges id love to save.) You can however sync this phone with your computer although your computer needs an infrared port. You could also sync it with a cable. (either option wouldnt cost more then 20$ us.) So overall, this phone is pretty good for being a low priced entry mobile phone. I give it 4 out of five stars. Had it 5mb memory at LEAST...you could expect a five star rating! Until next time =)

This phone is absolutely great. No more or less fiddly than any other, with an easy to use menu system, simple to access text facility (slightly to easy as my 2yr old keeps texting my friends), and good quality camera. Not entirely sure why people are hammering this phones picture quality. It's not the sharpest camera in the world, but it's perfectly adequate,; if you want high quality digital pictures, buy a camera. Video isn't excellent but it's a mobile phone, I didn't expect it to be up to Lucasarts standard. Quite simply a good all round phone.

it is the poorest phone of its class.no more features.video up to 30sec but it has only 2.5mb space. picture quality is also poor.compared with other phones of compareable price it is nothing but wasting money.display is also poor and without bluetooth radio mp3 player it is a piece of junk. one of the wrost phone that nokia have made. and wrost phone of the market today. even siemens cx65/m65 miles better than this.i got it just for 1 day and replace with siemens m65. now im using motorola e1000 and nokia 7610 . and i am happy with n7610 . trust me thats one of the best phone of all time ,go for that.

I bought this phone on impulse out of necessity, and I could've done a lot worse. It's small, handy, easy to use keyad, though the stick is annoyingly fiddly. It has a shared memory, so the more videos you take, the fewer pics you can store, texts, etc. It also seems to slow down when it gets very full. It's obvious that this is a cut-down version of the 6230, for a phone it's great. The camera is horrible in my opinion, grainy and out-dated by most newer cameraphones out there. Pitiful pixel count. I would've waited for the 6021 if time hadn't been so tight in my case. It's a fully featured, small, light professional looking phone - note I said phone, not camera/camcorder or music player (it hasn't got one). I like mine because of just that, it's a good phone. Good battery life so far, screen is difficult to read in some light, and it gets very dusty in there, you have to periodically open it up and wipe it if you keep it in your pocket or anywhere dusty. Don't get this if you want to show it off. It's not flash.

This phone is really kool..and worth its price. Camera has sufficiently good resolution...and gives better pictures at day time rather than night time. But the only Drawback is only 2.5 MB memory and no facility to add another memory card.

This is an excellent phone. It has a good quality camera, with a good zoom, and the time of 50 seconds for the video player is very respectable. The other features of the phone are also very good, the games are good, and the phone is also a very good looking one, and a good size. The only thing stopping me giving it the full five stars is that it doesn't have bluetooth. If it did have bluetooth it would be a truely outstanding phone. If your not bothered about bluetooth, this phone is excellent and you will not be dissapointed if you purchase it!

After much comparing of models I finally decided on the 6020 and am glad I did. For a start it looks classy - no garish colours or logos. Simple, easy to navigate menu, it is a joy to use. Light and compact with a superb keypad and innovative joystick which makes dialling/texting soooo easy. And if you want long battery life without the hassle of forever re-charging, then this is the one for you. The only thing that stops me giving a five-star rating is the screen size (could have been just a bit bigger) and picture quality is not as good as some I've seen, but hey, you get what you pay for and this really is worth every penny. Highly recommended.

I really like using Nokia phones which is why I decided to upgrade to the 6020 recently. However, I returned it after just 2 days because of the sheer mediocrity of the thing. Compared with other phones of comparable price out there in the market it does nothing. No bluetooth, no MP3, no FM Radio! I think the guuys at Nokia are trading on their name a bit too much here. Fair enough it's a middle of the range phone but when you look at what you can get for the same money (Sony Ericsson K700i for example) why would you want such a bog-standard model? On the plus side it is very easy to use (as are all Nokia phones) and it does look good.

This phone is alright. It is a Nokia so you get all the usuals but the thing that igged me the most is that it does not have bluetooth. I got this after my Sony K700i and the K700i is miles better. The photo quality is poor, the photo options are poor. In fact this phone is so poor I didn't even get around to making a phone call on it. I got it yesterday and I'm taking it back today.

Having been subjected to the Motorola E1000 for a couple of months this phone is quite a welcome change. Don't expect anything too flash here. The colour screen is not amazing, it wont handle anything more than 8 channel MIDI and the camera is only VGA. But this isn't a phone for those looking for a swanky new toy. Its a phone, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Good voice, good reception, usual user friendly Nokia interface.

I had this phone for mere 3 weeks, when the function keys start to give trouble. Sent to Nokia Care for rectification, imagine my horror, it will take about FOUR weeks for the spare parts to arrive. In the mean time you have no mobile but continue to pay the TELCO for services you could did not use. Should stick to my old Korean reliability.

Just bought the Nokia 6020 mobile phone. The first thing I found attractive about this phone was it's looks. Then I was amazed by the ammount of features on it. Video recording, good quality pics, ear piece sound quailty, etc. Nokia were losing the plot recently, but are definitly clawing back with this lovely model. It's obvious though that they are attemptimg to 'take on' Sony Ericson with the 6020. I notice also that this cheaper model compares very well with the more expensive 6230 which I find impressive. I have always been a Nokia user so my review will be a bit biased. However, SE are starting to look very inticing.....

To start with looks, and it is def a 5 star.(eat your heart out Sony-E)Nothing but admiring glances from everyone who sees it. Phone actually feels sturdier than you imagine it will be as well. Buttons are great to use, feels as if they are long lasting and so easy to master. Colours and screen? Well after coming from a 7250i, you can see such a difference, and after all, if I wanted to take quality pictures, I would use my own digital camera!!!Only fault I find with the camera is position of the lens, everytime I use the phone to speak, find myself wiping the lens to make sure it is clean. Ring tones are great, but so loud!! Early days yet using the phone, bu is looking good. Looks like Nokia have finally got their act together and can take on Sony-E in all aspects!!! If you want a new phone, would not put you off the 6020, in fact would encourage you to go for it.

i got this nice phone and think that technologically the model is a complete copy of Nokia 3220 different in design and IrDA present. That is curious Nokia model more competes with Sony Ericsson T630 than with today models. The screen of Nokia 6020 seems weak for its class, compared with Sony Ericsson T630 it happened to be inferior in the number of shown lines and resolution, colour transmission indoors and with standard colour schemes of the menu. Middle-class models do already have screen with higher resolution and this very parameter is a weakness of Nokia 6020. Any how good phone from Nokia.
