HI all .... this review is for those who are in search of a flip phone which should be a value for money. well i think Nokia 6103 is the one for you. I bought it today itself, but the phone has delivered me everything which a common person wants ... it is really good and is under budget for most of us. So I would give a thumbs-up for Nokia 6103.

This phone is very disappointing. It comes with only 8 ringtones. The earphone is almost unusable you can't hear in it. You can't program different ringtones for different incoming calls. When you save a new number it doesn't let you set up any features such as the type of phone number (mobile/home/work), it scrolls through options very very slowly, when you close the cover, it stays on the last screen you were in and doesn't revert back to the home page automatically, when you add a name to a new number the recently dialled list doesn't update to the name, the wallpaper choices make the phone completely unreadable, when you select copy in the phonebook it is mysterious as to where it is copied to, and so on. Finally, in the same car drive that I take to work, it loses the signal at least twice as often as my previous Motorola.

Well, I've had my Nokia 6103 for about 1 1/2 months now, and it perfectly fine. I've dropped it on several ocasions and it's as tough as all other Nokia's I've owned. I think I will be keeping this phone for a very long time. I like it's design, simple but sophisticated on the inside(applications/software).
There is just 1 thing, I wish you could buy memory to add to it. Like a mmc card.

Before I bought the nokia 6103 I read the specifications. I knew it had a vga camera and only 4.4 meg of memory but this does not bother me as i never use the camera or memory.I use a bluetooth headset nearly all the time.This phone has very good reception and is a very good phone for making and receiving phone calls and also has a very good battery life.My last phone was a panasonic vs6 which has a brilliant screen and camera but the reception was poor in marginal areas.I1m very happy with this phone and will be keeping it for many years.

Ok - I have had this phone for a week now after returning a Samsung t809, t609, and Moto RAZR. The 6103 is the only one that can pick up and KEEP a signal in my fair-poor reception area. Yeah, the screen isn't brilliant, but it doesn't reboot itself like the Samsucks and it actually is able to receive calls unlike the RAZR. My PEBL also had problems. I will stand by this cheap little phone.

Well, I feel I just gotta put my 2 cents in. O have recently upgraded my phone, tested out a few, dilemmas encountered, as expected. I ennded upo choosing the 6103; after much research andsking questions. WOW, am I ever disappointed. Yes, Nokia has proven to be a durable phone, with decent battery life. However, the particular features on this phone, well, they're just not there. There is absolutely no comparison to this phone and the samsung t809. The only downfall to te t809, it has no voice dial. Oh well. I am currently in the process of switching back to the all "full featured" t809. Good luck to you all.

Sorry everyone, but I disagree! I just got the nokia 6103 and I love it! I switched from sidekick II and I love all of the new features, the size and reception. My only complaints are that the sim card only holds name and phone contacts, not addresses or e-mails. I would like to ask t-mobile what is the purpose of a sim card? It seems worthless! It should hold all the info in any phone and then transfer to any new phone. My other complaint is that too often the reps do not know what they are doing. I had to call 3 times to make sure my service plan was switched so I could finally access my yahoo e-mail and the internet. After working out the glitches and learning the many new features and oh yes, adding what my worthless sim card could not back up I am very happy with my purchase.

Question: is this phone THAT bad?

I mean, according to all the opinions I read here, it sounds like it is. I kind of like the look of this phone. Can you guys tell me what's really so bad about this phone? I'd really appreciate your opinions. Please and thank you (:

OH, ONE MORE THING:
Beth: You can buy Nokia 6270 for $360 at http://www.starlinwireless.com , then bring it to the largest T-Mobile dealer (remember $300 minimum!!! cash back ).

TO BETH:
I feel your sadness 100%!
YES!-Definitely refuse the package when it arrives and then call T-Mobile to cancel the agreement and this GARBAGE 6103 TOY!

SUGGESTION:
Try to find the biggest T-Mobile dealer in your area. In New York it's: Cellulalr Plus!!
Cellular Plus gave me the perfect Nokia 6270
for $70!!! (new line or second line activation required).

EVEN IF the largest T-Mobile dealer in your area doesn't carry unlocked European Nokia phones, if you bring to them your own GSM phone you can demand at least $300 cash back!
(that's if T-Mobile pays them $350 and not $400 for 2 year contract).

TMobile is supposed to be sending me this phone in the mail and after reading these reviews, I am really not looking forward to receiving this phone anymore. I was just wondering if I should call Tmobile and tell them to keep it, and go get a different phone. Please email me with your suggestions-I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance for your time!

I'm totally supporting the fire that is finally opened against Nokia's bad phones!
I WAS ACTUALLY ALWAYS A NOKIA SUPPORTER, until Nokia started taking bad samples from Sony Ericcsson!

I agree with the users below.
6101/6102/6103/6125 and other series of the same line are cheap and stinky.
I don'n need to have a cell. phone that is SLOW and on which I cannot hear people well unless I'm wearing a BLUETOOTH TOY!

THE HELL WITH MEGAPIXELS AND COLOR SCREEN!
MATURE PEOPLE, PLEASE SUPPORT US!

I agree with Jonatan!
This phone is a piece of junk, just like the 6101 is.

NOKIA OBVIOUSLY CANNOT
make thin phones with loud sound.
Well, if that's the case, then why the hell make thin phones and not make it a little thicker just like a great 6170, 6260 models???????

I don't know what is all the excitment here about this so-called upgrade to 6101?

I checked this new 6103 at the local T-Mobile store in New York and it it the same garbage as 6101 only with added bluetooth which is a must for this phone, otherwise you will not hear loud enough in the crappy earpiece.

CONS:
-Slow as 6101
-Childish very colorful as 6101
-Earpiece sound quality is not loud (again the same as 6101)

SO, YES BLUE TOOTH IS NEEDED DEFINITELY ON THIS NOT VERY LOUD PHONE, BUT WHAT ELSE?

o yes!
one thing more. this nokia has different battery plug in than others nokia. i you have (well, like me)many others home chargers and car chargers and you need it right away....forget it.
this one is more thiner (about 2mm)and you'll need special adapter for others chargers to make them usefull(for phone side is male 2mm, and for charger is standard 3.5mm female, "+" inside "-" around, total length 10cm ) .
adapter cost 8euros. nice.
not to much?
ok, than pass that money to me.

this gsm is not so bad, but on the other sides....
i heard and red about 4.2mb of total memory, so i wonder where are the rest because i counted only 2.320mb in galeria and etc?
maybe operator stole it all? could be.
even 4.2mb are not enough memory and 2.320mb are way to little memory!!!!
this minus is so big that i do not want talk about any pluses present in nokia6103.
disapointed? yes!
