Review: Nokia 6120 Classic

Nokia 6120 Classic Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: A classically designed 3G smartphone. It's the lightest and most compact smartphone available, and probably the easiest to use. Equipped with 3.5G for fast web browsing and downloads, this phone is smart enough to do most things you could ask of a phone. Available in black, white or pink.
Best buy: *Free* from Three (black).

The 6120 Classic is a classic-looking Nokia finished with attractive chromed highlights (available in black, white and pink). It's a slimline phone with a large screen, and an easy-to-use keypad and 5-way navigation key. Like the very popular 6300, it gives the impression of an old-fashioned Nokia (which is a good thing) as if the company has learned some lessons and is getting back to what it used to do so well - making great phones that do just what you want.

However, looks can be deceiving, because this is no bog-standard Nokia, but a 3G Symbian smartphone. In fact it's the lightest and probably the most compact smartphone available, and the most mainstream one too. The 6120 Classic is a high-spec device, outstripping the Nokia N73 in some respects. The first thing that we note when examining the phone is the display. This is a very high quality display with an amazing 16 million colours and a very high resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. However, this does mean that fonts are small, and anyone whose eyesight isn't as good as it used to be may well struggle with this phone. The camera is rated at 2 megapixels and is nothing special, but the 6120 Classic does also support video calling. The 3G is a fast (so-called 3.5G) HSDPA implementation, enabling download speeds several times faster than normal 3G.

The 6120 Classic is equipped with a music player that can handles all of the common formats - MP3, M4A, eAAC+, and WMA - and there's a built-in FM radio too. Audio quality is good, especially when using the Nokia Stereo Headset HS-47 supplied. With an internal memory of 35 Mbytes, you can store half a dozen songs, but the memory can be expanded to 2 Gbytes with a microSD card, giving the phone the same capacity as an iPod Nano.

One new feature that appears in the 6120 is Text-to-speech. This lets the phone read your text messages and emails out loud. Could be handy if the fonts are too small to read!

As well as being 3G enabled, the 6120 Classic is quadband, so you should be able to use it on any network anywhere in the world. Connectivity is Bluetooth 2.0 and USB, but not infrared. The battery life of the 6120 is below average, and you'll probably need to recharge every couple of days, depending on usage.

The only problems that we can see with the 6120 Classic are the small font size and the below-average battery life. Apart from these two issues, the 6120 Classic is a beautiful smartphone, and a much more satisfying phone to use than most of the Nseries phones. It's neat, it's smart and we like it!

I like the phone-if I could get one that works! I have replaced it three times. On two of them the screen kept going blank and the other two the bluetooth wouldn't work. I'll keep trying as the phone is reasonable value, however I am sick of it.

When i first got this phone i was so suprised at how small and light it was. The camera/vedeo recorder and battery life are also suprisingly good. The download speeds on the web are outstanding and are comparable to broadband speeds. When playing music out loud, the sound is very good and can get very loud if you want it too. Typing numbers/texting is also very satisfying, even though the keys are quite small. There are only three bad points: it has no wifi (understandable considering its low price and how slim it is compared with other 3G phones), the phone case can become susceptible to fingerprints and markings and the 'menu' and 'C' buttons are quite hard to press quickly as they are on the very edge and you have to end up using a finger nail instead of the tip of your finger. Overall this phone is 100% worth the money, as it isn't a very expensive phone and the slightly annoying points about this smartphone are heavily outweighed by the good points.

Does what it says on the tin For such a small handset this phone is packed with high quality features such as the screen quality and ability to surf fairly flawlessly (for a phone) - I have tried smartphones on orange years ago and they were poor with many O/S issues and system faults, constantly locking. This 6120c was a pleasant relief after previous smartphones and more recently a simple V3 Razor. The Razor was disapointing and on purchase 3 or so years ago i was promised many features and apps (such as msn), would be compatible but they werent. I wont buy Motorolla again and have apart from the Orange smart phones i had been a pure Nokia user. This unit is a valued tool: Its feature packed - cute but understated in styling - lightweight - versatile and seems very reliable - I had never heard of a Nokia 6120 and bought it second hand off a friend for £30 odd when my V3 failed!! I didnt even know it was a smartphone i just liked it becuase it weighed nothing... Best money i spent in ages - i realise i have had a bargain with it but have also seen them on Ebay from £70 - £30 aprox.... still well worth the money.. I put in the memory card from the V3. If u want a light phone that you forget is in your pocket; that is reliable well thought out and user friendly, (In the vain of oldskool Nokia's), with a decent net bandwidth and many useful features go for it - Its a baby symbian - Blackberry it aint, and it dosent pretend to be an i phone - as i said it does what it says on the tin - Its a little tiny wolf in sheeps clothing - impressive kit!!

The hardware and software are both excellent, I am using a 4GB microSD card that only cost £14 including delivery from Amazon, so you can easily get as much memory space as an N95 if you want. The phone is as powerful as your desktop computer was 10 years ago (369MHz, 64MB RAM) so it can run games and applications very fast. The only thing stopping it from getting ***** is the battery life - with 3G switched on, my battery was lasting less than one day. Perhaps battery technology is not really ready for 3G yet (so said Apple vis-a-vis the iPhone).

Its the perfect first-time smartphone, whilst not losing anything to disapoint the experienced smartphone users. The best summary would be that it is a smaller version of the N95. Yes it gets hot, but not as quickly as people suggest. I would say that you would have to be on a call for about 30 mins before you start to really notice the heat for it to bother you, then there is the invention of the loudspeaker to keep the conversation going. The other suggested problem is the battery. Yes it is below standard on a normal phone, however it is about normal with other smartphones and is good enough to last you a day of heavy usage, or a few days of light usage. I personally have bought a bluetooth gps device and bought tomtom navigator 6 to run on the mobile, which when also connected to my hands-free kit on my car, makes the whole thing work exactly the same as a built in sat nav, whilst at the same time stops me having to carry a large sat nav unit round with me. I also take advantage of the HSDPA (3.5g) connection and use my mobile as a modem for my laptop on the go. Allowing me broadband access wherever I go. I shant mention any other features as they have either already been mentioned in the main review. Just one other thing. The mobile phone market is a rapidly changing market, so whatever you do, DONT tie yourself in to an 18 month contract with this phone. Especially as its available on pay as you go for £80, therefore you could get it on pay as you go, then get a much better sim-only contract for a lower period

I was given this phone as a gift and have had it back to the store twice already as it gets incredibly hot when you talk, even after a few minutes. Apparently that's what you get with an LCD screen on a slimline phone. Whatever, it's a big design fault which unbelievably Nokia acknowledge and expect customers to just deal with. It's not always convenient to have a headset or Bluetooth connected as Nokia advises, do they actually quality assess these things before they put them out?

An excellent phone, have been using it for a couple of months now. Great features, internet that works on the go (enough to check your mail, use google maps etc - and the google maps Mylocation feature), hook it up to a laptop and its a speedy modem. even the open office software has been useful to edit spreadsheets on the go. Music player works great, even played through the speaker the sound is decent. you will have to buy a micro sd card for it if you want to load on more then the onboard 32mb. camera is good - has a flash, but dont expect pro photos in the dark. in good light takes a decent pic. excellent connectivity, works with my bluetooth headsets, voicedialling and all. connects via a standard micro usb connection to PC's. is light and looks great. screen and back can pick up fingerprints. it does heat up when using it but its not a problem. my one issue with it is battery life could be better - if you use it, recharge every day. oh - and within the first couple of days, had to switch for a new one (3 were helpful) as one of the nav keys stopped working. no other probs.

First time I used the phone it started heating up after a few minutes. My ear was getting really read and hot. I spoke to 3 who have 'assured' me that Nokia have said it is not a fault with the phone, just purely the design as the casing is metallic??? (excuse me, I thought it was plastic!) it heats up more than a normal phone. 3 are NOT willing to exchange the phone and I am yet to get on Nokia's case. But they are apparently aware of the problem as they have had loads of these compliants and they have said that it runs no health risks etc., YEAH RIGHT!

Had this phone just a day or two, a contract upgrade, and already I'm very happy with it. It's small and light, has a great screen and is packed with features. I use my phone mainly for calls/texts and email, and I travel abroad a lot. For this it's perfect - quadband, with EDGE and 3G and HSDPA, it's great for web/data stuff. Seems very nippy with no slow menus. And of course it has great Nokia menus that seem to have *everything* covered - whether it was setting it to automatically retrieve my email every half hour, or setting default access points for java apps - whatever it is, it seems you can mess with it. I did notice that it gets pretty warm around the screen area once you've been talking for more than 5 minutes, but it doesn't bother me particularly, it certainly wasn't uncomfortable. You can always switch off 3g in the network settings and I've heard that stops it from warming up(?). Battery life is not great, but it's not diabolical either. Should go a couple of days per charge with average use. Camera seems fine in daylight, not up to the best sony ericsson etc (but this phone a ton more features than those) but still useful if you just want to take a quick snap. The flash is fairly worthless though. Overall, I'm very pleased with this phone. I wanted the E51, which has better battery life, is slimmer and has WIFI, and I thought this might be a duffer. But I was really impressed with the feature set and the small size. If what really bothers you is the mp3 player and camera or the looks (this is pretty plain), and you dont care about EDGE or HSDPA or quadband etc, you may as well get something else, because there are better multimedia phones at this price. But if you want something with top notch connectivity at at a good price, you can't beat this phone.

The phone has lots of advantages, fast processor, viewing office documents, PDF, .pps or .ppt presentations, they all work. Works perfectly with Java applications, .sis applications. The camera is not very good as it lacks autofocus but it still gives decent pics (buy a digicam if you realy want good pictures, this is primarily a phone. ant quite fault the 6120.

The phone itself it a great little phone that slim and fits easily in most pockets and so to begin with is pleasant to have around. Yes the buttons are small but what can you expect when you buy a small phone - cant have it all ways in life! Two issues with the phone are firstly I agree it does get hot after a few minutes, much more than any phone I've had in the past. The big problem however is I am now on my 3rd 6120 in a month because of the speaker. I have discobvered that when you put the phone on silent(using your power on/off button) and then turn it back on to general the speaker doesnt always like to work. When you recieve a call and answer the caller cant hear you, when you make a call, their phone rings but you actually dont hear it ringing on your phone. To resolve the issue you need to turn the phone off and on again which in 2007 simply isnt acceptable. This phone has done the same and so Im heading back to the 3 store this week.

This phone is great and runs loads of software - internet, mp3, camera, video, sat nav and office - ideal for my needs.However it seems to be quite unreliable. The first 6120 I got would not boot past the white screen from the word go and was replaced. Two months into owning the second 6120 it seems that the aerial has broken - shows full reception intermittanly and won't make voice or data calls at all. If I switch my SIM into my old moto V3 it works fine. I'm stuck without a phone now till this one gets fixed/replaced. Such a shame as its a good phone when working. I've owned phones for 10+ years and this model has proved to be the most unreliable yet.

Where do i start, got a 6120 on 3, and loved it, for about 3 weeks! When the screen cracked, and back it went for repair, when i got it back, it kept crashing, constantly needed rebooting, so back it went again, when i got it back this time, i charged it all day, switched it on, and within half an hour the battery died, so back it went for a 3rd time, then the menu button stopped working, and again it was packed away. This time, i got it back, opened the box, picked the phone up, and the battery cover fell off the phone! And try as i might that cover would not stay in place! So after much fighting with 3, they replaced it with a brand new nokia n73, do yourself a favour, avoid the 6120 classic like the plague.

I bought the 6120 just 5 days ago mainly to have a mobile internet facility. The browsing speed is execellent and goes from good to very fast depending on the signal. I am not a mobile heavy user but have quickly been able to use most functions using common sense and occassionally the manual. The phone very small (for portability) is very easy to use, even with one hand only, even in poor lighting eg car at night. Having come from a very basic phone, I find this phone 'out of this world'. Recommend it wholeheartedly particulary with T-Mobile 'Web n Walk' which is an internet charging system from as little as a pound a day for occassional users to £7.50 a month for heavier users.

I've had this for several months now and its really great. Compact but versatile. It does get rather warm when on long calls, but for all its other advantages this is easy to put up with. The only other downside is that its case is very smooth and easy to slip out of a shirt pocket - as I found to my cost when I bent over and it went flying (I have a cracked outer screen now). On the other hand it slips in and out of trouser pockets very easily which is great. Never had a problem with any of its functions - has worked consistantly from day 1.

Had this phone for little over a month now and it's by far the best Nokia I've ever had. Battery life is comparable to other 3G phones. I recommend this phone without reservation.

The phone is quite neat and the applications etc are great but the phone just gets far too hot when you're talking on it. I really can't use it anymore, bright red, burning ears and cheeks are not good! I'm going to get this changed for a flip phone I think.

I love this phone. This is only the 3rd phone I've really liked. The 1st one being the 3315, very easy to use and basic. Then the 2112, once again very easy to use and just a basic CDMA, everything I wanted just in a phone they both were. And now this 6120 is just everything I wanted, an MP3 player, a decent camera, excellent screen, even with a half-decent internal speaker, and best of all, still very easy to use, though I'll admit occasionally I get lost with all the features, good one Nokia!

This phone is fantastic. I got it yesterday after wating 2 months and it was well worth the wait. It is the smallest and most compact smart- phone and a beautiful phone with great features such as text-to-speech, bluetooth, music player GPS and much more. The audio quality is really clear and the picture is brilliant. The phone is small and fits perfectly in my pocket. The camera is a lot beter than I expected it to be. I was going to buy the samsung U700 but changed my mind after reading the reviews and I think this phone is much better. The only down side is that the earphones dont really fit in my ear but the volume can go really loud on the phone so you dont really need the earphones. I am really pleased with this phone its got everything you need and more. If you are thinking of buying it dont have any second thoughts it is GREAT. Im giving it a 5, well done Nokia.

I would have rated it 5 if it wasn't for the heat issue as it gets quite uncomfortable very fast in dual-mode with 3G. Otherwise 3.5G works like a breeze as I use as modem with my laptop. Its an excellent phone and value for money.

Very small - The smallest device I ever had. Very easy to use and although the keys are small they are organized so good I have no problem managing it only writing long messages can be annoying. The navigation frame is useful even for my large fingers. Great display with fonts I can only read using my reading glasses - it's a small price to pay and it allows me the enjoy the great hirez screen without compromising on large device size or low resolution display. It's got ALL the latest features you can ask for with only one missing - the WiFi.

Pros: Fast for a Symbian phone, compact, good looking (but the black one does show finger marks easily), HSDPA (3.5G), some good 3rd party Symbian apps available. Cons: Camera is awful (compared with other 2mp phone cameras) especially indoors, short battery life, gets really hot when you're talking/browsing.

- The good: Excellent display. Faster than most other S60 phones. Talk time: Nokia says 3h, in real life it's close to 4h. Nokia says it supports SD cards up to 2 GB. In real life, it also works with 4 GB cards. - The bad: Can't charge over USB port SD card cover requires long fingernails. The black plastic is a fingerprint magnet. The processor gets warm - The ugly: The camera takes blurry pictures and is useless indoors and at night. You need to install cCam to take pictures without the annoying shutter sound. cCam: www.symbian-freeware.com/download-ccam.html

Absolutely love it!!!! I have just purchased this phone brand new sim free for under £180. It is small, compact and lightweight. The phone is such a joy to use and anyone who gives this phone a bad review simply does not understand the series 60 3rd edition software. This phone has arrived on the market without any fanfares and all singing and dancing adverts and i feel that this phone is NOKIA'S best kept secret. For the price and what you actualy get is absolutely amazing. WELL DONE NOKIA

Speedy, beautiful phone with a chock full of features and power. But all of this comes at a price. This phone has a tendency to actually get very warm, even hot, after only a few minutes on a call. If you are not too keen on using a bluetooth headset all the while, this may be a deal breaker.

Well overall i think this phone is great, its a brilliant size not to big and chunky (like the sliding nokias) and not very heavy. The design is simple but sleek with a good size screen. The radio works really well and the headphones that come with it are really light too. The camera and video recorder where suprisinly better than i expected and the music player works very well. The only problems i have found are: - The handset can get very hot if having a long convosation on the phone - The buttons feel abit plastic and are sometimes tricky to use but after a while u get used to it and its fine - Depending on what you are doing the battery life is not that long However these are quite minor things so overall well done nokia a great phone!

The phone works well. I've had if for about 2 weeks now. Using it as modem for the computer works fine, as well as going on the internet on the phone itself. Battery life may be somewhat short but charge it regularly and it wont be a problem (honestly, how much work is it to plug a phone into a wall) then depending on what you use it for, you can surf on it for at least a couple hours before the battery is drained out, with the time depending on what you surf for example if your watch you tube videos on it (which from by the way the quality is fine). I'm perfectly content with it so far and have had no problems with it that are worth noting. I give it a five.
