I just bought this phone for a great bargain deal with t-mobile. I originally had a Motorola V300 which was so frustrating due to flaws, i ended up destroying the phone.
For the duration of 5 months, these are my observations.
Pros:
A nice solid durable phone.
Perfect reception
no factory flaws
comes with a quality battery
Cons:
If you are looking for a "bling bling" phone with all the fixins, this phone is not for you.
I personally adore this phone because it is perfect at being a phone. It has video capabilities, and camera, but it is at best average. Where this phone exceeds is bringing you crisp phone calls, and portability. The best i've ever experienced compared to the 2 motorolas i owned. (v300, and the RAZR)

it's a really great phone. the picture quality is pretty good and it stays looking nice easily. the only concern i might ever have, is that everytime i've tried to send a picture to my email or something, or even friend's emails, the url it sends me to doesn't work. but i've never had a probelem with the phone!

I work all day with phones, and what you are saying about this phones memory is very true, but there is a simple rememdy. Once a week you should clear the "cache" on the phone and you will be good to go. My friend also has this phone so I know it works.

i would like to know if both holes output sound or only the one furthest away from the antena. i have a feeling that i might have got a drop of cola in the one closer to the antena and could be blocking the little speaker screen it has in there. so id like to find this out which hole outputs sound before i take it apart and clean it. thanks.

i bought this phone unlocked, its native t-mobile. im using it on rogers in ontario, and its a pretty sick phone. the only drawback is it memory. but that really shouldnt be a selling point of a phone. (well maybe now a days it is). i like how u can make ur own mp3 tones and send em over to the phone using the IR. reception is decent. i had a samsung p207 before and only bought this cause i needed speakerphone. but the p207 reception in an underground concrete garage in a condo building was usually 5/6 or a full 6/6 bars and this phone is only 2/4 but there is no cut outs or crackles when ur in a conversation. so all in all i like this phone cause it fits my lifestyle a bit more than the p207.

PLEASE!!!, IT has practically no memory, MP3 is a useless feature coz 1 song will consume the only 3MB of shared memory it has.
Camera ok
Screen ok
Ext screen Awfull (Please, a CSTN disp? what about the SGH-E316 and his both TFT Screens? Nokia, you can do it better)
Memory BAD, HORRIBLE, NO MEMORY
Good characteristics: IRDA (no soft for upload to the phone but for download it needs the f*ck*ng PCSUITE) camera, unlimited video, radio (it came with stereo headsets).
BAD characteristics: The radio doesn't work without the headset, can't download from the phone to a PC without NOKIA's software, VERY LOW MEMORY, Not all MIDI ringtones works (Only Yamaha OPL or XG plays on this phone, otherwise it says "Damaged file" - "Archivo dañado")

this phone has really really good design but a little bit thick....the memory is very very low if it had a card slot it would be much more better and of course the lack of bluetooth is bothering too and i hope nokia add unlimited video recording (in 3gpp or mp4) and unlimited voice recording (in amr) to its future phones in 61 series but this design is briliant i put a 10 for design , 5 for features and another 5 for performance.

Hi, I have recently just had the "Motorola V3 Razr Blue" Mobile which I have had Faulty 3 times and 3 replacements, Its not a good phone as it collects Dust very easily through the TFT screen but a lovely phone, Just been to Carphone Warehouse and purchased this lovely "Nokia 6101" its a nice stylish phone from Nokia and I am on a Pay As You Go "o2" network, anyone I know the memory is low but when you think about it, If you want a phone with lots of memory and a great Camera and other features then you dont need a Mobile you need a "Laptop"... Get this phone, Dont listen to other comments...

As far as Nokia flip phones go, this one seemed simple, elegant, light, and easy to use. The reception was good in urban areas, and the earpiece volume was also good. Pictures were fine as novelty items but not especially worthwhile for prints etc... So what went wrong? Hard to say, but I do know this: one day the screen went kaput for no aparent reason. It was treated well, so who knows maybe it was a lemon or had a bug. Would I recommend this phone to others. Probably, since when it worked, it was very nice.

It has a really small Memory. I was able to free memory by deleting pre installed ringtones and graphics, so now I have arround 2.4 Mb free.
You don't need to pay to listen radio, you can't listen mp3 on the go, but you do can use an MP3 for ringtone.
It has a great battery life (my first reason to buy it), kinda excellent signal (at least better than with previous models), it has a buildt in camera (that i don't use because a digital camera can take better shots and has an extra memory slot, that this phone hasn't)
It is a good cellphone if you want long battery life, good signal and very little customization. (like me)

I bought the Nokia 6101 in september last year and I thought it was a great phone at first, sleek design, radio, MP3 player, camera and the list goes on. That was till it started playing up on me and now I have had it repaired on 3 separate occasions and no longer use it. I have been using Nokia's for about 8 yrs now and I feel they are starting to lose the quality that I think they once had. To be more honest I think the Nokia 5110 & 3210 were the best models that were ever created. They were basic, if you dropped them they would not break and there was none of this fancy modern technological stuff that is put into all phones today. This will not put me off from buying another Nokia one day but this phone was not well thought out and now I have bought the new Motorola Pink Razr V3 which is has all my needs met that I would need in a mobile phone.

Hi,
I got this phone about a month ago because my little brother drowned my other phone in lemonade :(!
But i wanted a new phone anyway, but my mum couldnt afford one i wanted (im only 13) I wasnt to sure on this phone but i decided to get it anyway. ALthough it is a good phone it gets cratched to easily from the keypad, like all the scratches on the inside screen look like the keypad which suks! ALso i dislike the ariel, it should have an y internal one!! I really eanted the 6111 but couldnt get it as my mum didntt want to pay that much and then 2 weeks later at the exact same shop i could have got it CHEAPER then the 6101. I was really annoyed but i have to deal with it. I wouldnt reallly recoment it though!

hi rich,
you can edit your pics on any photoshop software on PC and resize your picture to 128x160 then use file transferring FROM YOUR pc TO YOUR 6101 USING pc suite through infrared or CA53 USB.

Its a good phone, the memory its so poor but if you not use the cell like a walkman the memory reaches and exceeds.
The pictures taken with the camera are best even the shown ones in this page.
Is very recommended if you want a cheap phone whit camera and good quality

I've had the phone for about 2 months and I do love it.. the only thing that sucks about it is that whenever i lost service (like going into the basement or in a place with bad reception) i'd have to shut the phone off and turn it back on again which isnt a good convience because i missed many calls.
besides that i liked how you could basically get your own ringtones for free as long as you had internet since it plays mp3's. i paid $129 for it even though it's free now i think it was worth it.
the camera on it is very clear also!! it looks bad from the second display window but when you open it up, the pictures are very good! holds a LOT of space (a lot more than my last nokia)
