Just want to clear up some things for the people who are having queries about the phone.
I've had my Nokia 6101 for a week exactly now. Do i still feel impressed by the phone - no.
Why? Purely because i'm just bored with the phone. I do get bored quite easily and i do like change so maybe its just me. However the phone has an awful lot going for it. It's great when the phone rings in public and people hear the traditional Nokia ringtone. When i whip the phone out people look and ownder what phone it is i have because its so unlike a Nokia. Clearly its impressive to the onlooker.
As someone else pointed out, i have yet to have software problems with the phone - no crashing no failures in any way. Very good!
Battery life is brilliant. Holds for days i haven't charged for 3 days - with use of radio and video recording and i have only dropped one bar.
Someone asked about the external screen - it shows the signal level, battery meter and time as well as the network name. And yes, you can assign any picture you have taken as a wallpaper for the intenal AND external display. Although most pictures dont look great set on the outside. (4096 colours anyone?)
Sturdy build etc looks great, semi-good features, but poor memory as EVERYONE has mentioned. I'm getting annoyed with people writng on this forum 'Nokia 6101, crap memory not getting it'. Well thats great news but we didn't really need to hear it. If your going to write something at least let it be constructive ok.
So to finish - this will probably be my last post - the Nokia 6101 is a goodlooking clamshell phone with rubbish memory, and bad pre-installed wallpapers. I have resulted in taking my own pictures for wallpapers because it looks much better. The menu style is rubbish compared to other handsets such as Samsung and video quality and sound isn't the best.
However this phone does make up for its downfalls with features such as radio, camera, video recording - though poor, external display, rather customisable and great looks. Thats the 6101 then. Thanks for reading. Mark.

hi!
based on all opinions, i realised that there are a number of bad comments on the speaker's quality. is it only for MP3 or even polyphonic?
another question is, will i be able to listen to my mp3s using the headset given?

For the price (australia $400) it is well priced, but it remains a pretty simple phone that just looks nice.

Well, almost a week has been past since I've got this phone.
My opinion hasn't changed much, since the first impression i've had.
The phone is still very nice to look at (black version), I don't mind the fingerprints anymore...
:-p
The usage is good and no (software) problems encountered this past week.
I paid 250 euro's for it... Normal price here in The Netherlands, a bit expensive. But don't pay more than this, or else you're really wasting money.

After the lauch of SE 750i, the K700i is nearly the same price as the N6101, and much better I think. This Nokia phone seems only good in looks.

to 'sam' on australian websites for this phone the cost ranges from $350 to $420, so yeah might not be $400 or so, just have to look around. but then buying it from shops will probs be bit more expensive...but yeah just look round where you live

Hi. Reception seems fine, although its all network dependant. I am on Tesco mobile and that runs from o2 and i dont get very good signal with o2 in my area. But T-Mobile, Virgin, Orange etc all run fine with great reception strenght. It all depends on the area and network your in.

I love the look of this new Nokia, but am also disappointed at the lack of features. I just spoke with O2 on the phone and they say it will be released tomorrow (26th July) and will be free to Pay Monthly new customers and upgrades. I think it's only available in white.
