 Good overall phone Strengths: Nokia reliability, FM radio, flip phone, external display
Weaknesses: Speakerphone too low
Summary: To be the initial offering for Nokia for flip phones, they did a pretty good job. It even has an FM radio. The speakerphone was the only drawback I found for it. The sound is just too low to carry on a conversation in this manner in anything but a quiet room.

Strengths: Durability
Functionality
User Friendly
Features
Weaknesses: Lacks the style of other brands like Samsung or Motorola
Not enough memory
Summary: Overall I am very happy with my Nokia 6101. I had read some mediocre reviews but put my faith in Nokia. My first phone was a Nokia and it was great and the 6101 is living up to my expectations. It lacks the style of some other flip styles but the features are simple to use and the the voice reception is good. It takes good pictures and video and I like that you can customize the interior color screen and the exterior color screen with different pictures. I do wish it had more memory though.

Strengths: Signal Strength
Weaknesses: None observed
Summary: This cell phone is a real nice unit! I am able to get reception that I was not able to get on my previous Motorola V180. The fm radio feature is also a nice addition! Now, when I would like to listen to the radio, I am able to by using the included earphones. The unit itself is not flimsy and is comfortable to use. I am very satisfied with this cell phone.

Strengths: Strong signal, clear sound, good reception
Weaknesses: no bluetooth
Summary: I got a t-mobile togo phone and put in my contract sim card and use it with no problem. I like the fact that when you dial a phone number, all the numbers showned are big and easy to read. The camera takes decent picture, light weight, and FM radio can be listened on the headphones or loudspeakers. It has a sleak design, small and very light. It has a personal planner on the phone and you can record your personal messages and other things. This phone could be easily unlock to use with other carriers, highly recommended.

Strengths: Lightweight. Offers all the basic options in today's flip phones. Also has FM radio.
Weaknesses: No bluetooth. Phone screen is a little light at times. The volume is not really high. Buttons do not show shortcut diagrams.
Summary: Overall, I am pretty happy with the phone. It does leave a few things to be desired, but then again this is Nokia's first cell phone here in the states. I am sure the models that will follow will improve significantly. My previous phone was a Nokia and I really liked it

Strengths: High Quality;
very comfortable earbud;
durable, not easy to get scratch;
very easy to use just by one hand.
Weaknesses: Even the lowest volumn is a little loud for me;
picture quality is just ok.
Summary: Overall, I love this cellphone. This is the best one I have ever had. Simple to use, the earbud is one of the highlights of this phone, which brings a high sound quality of its raido. Much better than my creative mp3 player.

Strengths: looks good
Weaknesses: poor volume in noisy conditions
Summary: 2006-04-10 07:59:17 I like this phone. It is feature rich for a phone in this price range ($88). I bought this with a to go plan, with free incoming text, and free news and sports updates. It is very easy to navigate and has long battery life.

Strengths: Great LCD Screen
Tons of Features
Decent Battery Life
Weaknesses: Doesn't Look as Sleek as other flip phones
Summary: A nice start for Nokia's foray into flip-phones. It has a lot of useful features, great LCD screen, reasonable price. Only thing is that it doesn't look as sleek or as small a form factor as the more snazzy flip-phones.

Could be better
Strengths: Affordable, good features
Weaknesses: Low memory, Lack of Configuration options
Summary: I also bought this very affordable at target at 88 dollars when it was in sale + tax. At that price it's a good buy but I don't agree with many of the reviewers or their generous ratings... I think it's a good phone for someone who's not planning on doing much with it except the very rare occasion you plan to use the speakerphone, camera, video recorder, and voice recorder. However if you are on the phone alot... it really is lacking.
The main problem is the memory. it's reported 4.4 but it's not. I deleted alot of stuff and I could only get 2.3M because I wanted to keep some of the gallery (tones/images) but my total gallery is only 361.3kB which 100kB is a t-mobile theme that wouldn't allow me to delete. So it's a total of only 2.5M available memory versus that reported 4.4mb shared.
They also changed the ac plug for this phone... it's much smaller and therefore you need to buy a new adapter for the car. This also makes it difficult to use other portable recharging tools until they sell an expensive adapter.
The third largest problem is it makes a picture sound when taking pictures... This cannot be turned off due to "legal purposes" but that seems standard. However picture quality is very nice. there are 3 settings of basic/normal/high. Either case the picture quality is very good as the image captured is brighter than what you see on the screen which is a pleasant surprise to someone who's been using digital cameras where the image appears brighter but isn't when taken without the flash
The configuration menus could be better but you get use to that in time.
