I really miss this phone. I've only had it for about 9 months. It started to malfunction, the screen was always black, but the keypad was still functional. They said its because I always open/close it too much, so the wire connecting the screen to the keypad got torn apart >.

I have had my 6131 for almost three years now. I have used a leather clip case that is slightly larger than the phone and it has only two spots on the entire phone that have worn through, the rest of the phone is blemish free outside of one deep scratch from a good drop.
After reading all the comments about how some users have indicated problems with the phones functionality making them regard the phone as being a piece of junk I must comment on the issue.
If those users took the time to consider the problem and made the effort to upgrade the firmware to the latest version of 6.10 they would have dicovered that all those prolems have been resolved and the 6131 they flamed would have given them much more to praise. When I got my phone it had version 3.50 and after two weeks of frustration to get the phone to do what I demanded I parked it in the desk drawer for almost an entire year and just used my nextel phone even though it was not saving me an money haha! when I went to the phone a year later, I bought a CA-53 data cable, upgraded the firmware via PCsuite to version 4.2 and discovered most of the issues had vanished, now with version 6.1 the phone is so stable and functional, the battery life has actually extended by about 10 to 15% maybe even 20, and the volume of the ringer has improved enough to hear it ringing while outside my Ford F350 with the engine running sitting on the seat. I can say that of all the phonesw I have passed my way over the years, this 6131 even though it is not the best featured phone like some others, it stands alone when it comes to being the most reliable, but only after the firmware was dealt with!!!
If you have any complaints about the 6131, get the CA-53 data cable for about $40 and deaal with the firmware before posting your issue, your complaint will be much more believable if you are comming here with a legit reason to complain.

Is it just me that I am going deaf or is this telephone ringer extremely low in volume??? It may have "everything", i.e. relatively good mp3 sound quality, 1.3 mpx camera and blah blah blah but whenever I am in the street and somebody calls me, I never hear the phone ringing!!! I don't wanna sound like my dad but what's the point of having such a sophisticated or whatever phone if you never get the call!!!

During the call, on the bottom left hand side there is an options menu. On that menu choose the record option. But while ypu are recording, there is a beep every few seconds.

Started to use the phone again and it is creaking of old age. Edge is slow. free internal memory is inadequate. Committed the old computer sin and downloaded new software on old hardware.
To be specific updated my mobile google maps for the latest version. It struggles to run and freezes with low memory messages. I hoped to get streetview. The phone tries to load the images and gives up.
6131 needs Hsdpa rather than edge.
A faster processor.
Ten times as much internal memory.
The screen is still excellent my modern standards.
And the new 6131 would be a winner !

Bought this phone two and a half years ago from t-mobile on PAYG. Battery life excellent, don,t understand what people are complaining about. recently it has started to switch off and on again all on its own. probably due to age and over use.
The mobile internet using t-mobiles web and walk was fine, despite only having only edge, no 3G or HSPDA.
Functionality of the supplied browser was limited. Could not use it to download files photos etc.
I deduced that they were using a cut down version of the opera mini browser, and used it to download an updated version and got the full mini opera 3.3, with the ability to download all the files and photos I wanted !

i have had this phone for almost 3 years. It's a great phone except for the poor camera/video recorder, and the rubber on the covers peel off. The mp3 player is also too simple and you can't filter songs... One main problem though, my email and calculator applications just dissappeared. Any help???
