I really am considering getting this flip tho i'm not a "flip user". Need reviews on the camera quality as my current Nokia's Cif camera is poor. Anybody? Give info please. Thanks & happy holidays

Bought this phone 4 days ago instead of a LG K800 Chocolate which definitly looks better but it's dummier than 6131 .
The photocam is kind of poor in quality especially in nightmode but even so the photo&video cams gets you the things you wanted to capture. I was the amazed by the number of fields you may customize for a phonebook registration, AND also by the low battery life when you play a game or you listen to mp3/aac music. In radio mode it seems the battery live longer, probably because it doesn't use phone 'resources'.
The beep you hear when you are recording a conversation cant't be turned off and that sucKs because both the caller and listener can hear it. It can be eliminated only on series which has Symbian OS.
In the end the options you get from this phone at a low price makes it a good phone, even if its battery gets low after playing Worms for 3-4 hours :)

I just got the 6131 white edition a week ago. Already figure out how to crush the software, only by reading data from the Nicro Sd card... only way to reset the phone is by pulling battery out.. anyway, the phone performance is quite poor, battery last 2 days top, using bluetooth and Mp3 player, the Camera (1.3 Mp) well... Phone see to be just fine, quality don´t even approach my expectations, and on Video mode is a complete dissaster, I mean, could get a clear video under any light condition. I´ll problaby change the phone in less than 2 weeks... I don´t now, may be the fact that it is a "cheap" phone, (less than 200€), materials are quite poor as well, I´m pretty disapointed, I miss old good Nokia devices...don´t you all...

To protect phone from scratches or peeling use transparent plastic cover especially made for flip phones

I was thinking about buying one of these but does the paint really chip off that easily? I have read about bad battery and camera but I have an Ipod and a decent digital camera so I'm not bothered about this. I have an LG Chocolate, worst phone I've ever owned, and I am having to buy this SIM free as I'm partway through an 18 month contract. I don't wanna end up with something that looks ancient in 3 months time!!!

I tried it for two days, I returned it yesterday. Battery life is a joke (I recharged it 2 times in 2 days!). Camera and screen are great. Bluetooth does not work with Motorolas (V555, RazrV3 and my headset). Cable socket covered by a very fragile looking lid, it wont last much usage.
It expected something more robust for the cost price. My Razr V3 somehow feels more robust for less money

i got this phone a few weeks ago, i think its nice because the buttons are big, but the screen keeps crashing and the whole thing keeps shutting itself down, the battery will only last me a day,thats with heavy use but new phones shudn die that quick, and the memory is terrible...but it looks classy!!

Just bought this phone...had a Razr...good phone overall a few complaints...when dialing, you have to wait for the other line to pick up before transfer to speakerphone...that's kind of annoying when your hands are busy. Also, shortcut keys aren't as customizable as the razr...there's less selection of menu choices. Battery life sucks also

Ah yeah, the battery life is low cause its only an 800mAh battery. What did u expect. Go with the 6290, it has a 950mAh battery.
And to u guys that keep running into problems with this phone, its no reason to bash the phone and tell everyone that its a bad phone.
Not everyone is getting bad ones. This is one of nokia's top phones so far.. The next top models are the 6290 and N75. Both those are pretty much the same except for the 6290 has larger battery

I got my nokia 6131 two weeks ago.
I have had several problems with it already.
Every now and again, the main screen fails and the phone completely crashes. The games continually crash. Also, on outgoing calls, people have trouble hearing what i am saying as the sound is very bad. But on incoming calls it appears to be fine. The paint is already coming off, the mini screen continually goes completely white and the bluetooth is not reliable. It also has absolutely terrible battery life.
It is technically a very good design but it has a lot of problems. I would not recommend this phone for long term use. Ellie.
