Nokia 3120 classic review: Mid-range fighter

Nokia 3120 classic review: Mid-range fighter - read the full textEven if every little Nokia wants to be an N95 when it grows up, most of them end up a decent looking gadget with a neat little perk here and there to top the good old calling and texting. Nokia 3120 classic is just another one of them mixed by the time-tested recipe – do the bare minimum but do it right...

 

Purchased mine about three weeks ago and am stil happy bout the performance

Got my 3120 from Vivo operator in Brazil for about USD40 with a full yr. subs to use as a 3G modem, backup phone for TIM and OI operators as I wait for a new HTC release such as Diamond II but with 3G and WM 6.5 ROM from their own. It's a great budget phone. I just don't think I can live with forever or not to bring my iPod along to run in the park.

Great review, I got myself a Nokia 3120 yesterday. I think I'm quite satisfied and also impressed.

For the price this phone is more than good. I got it for 24 euros with a cellphone subscription, no extra cost at all.

I'm wondering though, why'd you say the videocamera is CIF? It's 640x480, therefore, VGA.

The default setting was 176x144 or something, but I changed it to max and it's now at 640x480.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-08-07 14:40 from P$tFI am not satisfied with its video quality.if ur budget is 7000 to 10000 and u want a good phone with good camera and sound quality then you should choose soni ericsson.
Reason behind this is it has got good image quality as well as sound quality.i will give 6/10 to 3120.

i am not totally agreeing you because you say the images taken with camera are not impressive. i have this phone and if you ask me what i think that are the best features of this phones i would say that the camera is excellent with pictures that almost look like you had taken that images with n73.
you say the battery is very good ,but mine it doesn't last more than 3 days maximum.

on the n70 review you said that phone it's universal fighter and 3120c it's midrange fighter. i think 3120c has better camera and display and the only advantage of n70 is that it's a smartphone. i'm not an expert and i am just talking from my experience and from my friends exprience.

over all this rewiev it's pretty good.

i bought a LG KS 360 a few weeks back and was sorely dissapointed in the phone...i had to resell it privately as i would've ended up driving over it with my car - what a piece of crap! Now i've realised that the Nokia 3120 retails at the same price and has better functions (3G!!!) I'm so getting one!
Can't wait to video call my sister up country!!!

> In reply to jam @ 2008-08-13 05:30 from UD}wThe review of the phone is so long because being a lower priced phone,a lot more people would want to buy it as compared to the very high priced E90.

Got this phone mainly to use as a modem for my laptop when I'm out of the house, works well with the vodafone network and as it's prepaid I only have to pay for the months that I need this service, with this phone and a vodafone prepaid card, gotta be the cheapest way of getting mobile internet on your laptop.
