Nokia 6010

User Reviews:

I got both of these Nokias and after two days of use these are mine comments:

1. Reception quality - it seems that they are both equal or the 6010 sometimes gets 1 bar better. Compared to my old Moto T720, Nokias HOLD connection better.

2. Ear piece volume - depending on connection the 6010 is slightly louder or WAY louder than 3120.

3. Sound quality - 6010 reproduces sound with different timbre (less bass). I prefer 6010 sound tone to 3120 which generates audible noise/hiss at max earpiece volume.

4. Phone size/shape - 3120 is too small for me. Because of its size, it is easy to accidentally cover the internal antenna area which could lead to worse reception/higher transmission levels (radiation). I also find the keys a little too small although I have no problems dialing.

5. SAR levels - lower to way lower for 6010.

6. Battery life - 3120 is better.

7. Finish quality - both look good although 3120 feels a little bit too plastic and fragile.

8. Rings are OK and VERY very loud. I wish Nokia would include more normal ringtones sounding like phones and not tons of those useless polyphonic sounds (phone is not a radio!).

The other features are meaningless for me but I will list them: 3120 has better display (less pixalation, fits more lines per screen, brighter; however this is not good enough for displaying pictures which look fuzzy at 4096 colors and the small resolution), 3120 has a speakerphone which is actually quite good but I don't see a use for it.

In conclusion, for somebody who needs a basic good phone, I would recommend 6010.
