Nokia 6061

Overall Rating:
2.2 out of 5

From: Minneapolis, MN (United States)
Experience: 9 Months
Pros: Looks good

Cons: Hasn't worked since I got it!

Summary: This phone hasn't worked since the day I got it. It's been sent in for repair and worked for 2 weeks before it quit again. I have to take out the battery numerous times, put it in and then it'll work for maybe 2 or 3 weeks at a stretch. Right now I've been without a phone for 2 weeks because it doesn't work AGAIN!

No frills phone

By: Duane Lewis on Tuesday, December 18, 2007
From: Medford, OR (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: durable. dropped it a gazillion times and it keeps on tick.... working. gave it a shower and overheated it on an oven range (no hair dryer available) drying it out and thought i'd melted the screen and it recovered nicely and you wouldn't know it. i use it moderately for phone calls only and after getting used to its characteristics (see cons) it's a solid phone.

Cons: the red light incoming call indicator is pointless to me as i'd rather have a window indicating who's calling like my motorola phone had. can't assign individual ring tones to single callers. you can assign them to groups but not as useful or creative for me.

Summary: not a bad phone but not great - solid. you won't impress your friends or enemies if you tie your ego with your cell phone.

By: Jessica Simmons on Monday, September 10, 2007
From: Coloma, MI (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: the speaker is nice when it actually works.

Cons: Everytime we try to select a ring tone it says it is not available, I then have to turn the phone off and then back on for it to display the ring tones again. Also sometimes even when it is set for ring and not vibrate sometimes it will just beep and the red light will blink. This phone is constantly doing this even when the ring tone is on. Had to take it back and get it fixed numerous of times.

Summary: If you want a phone that is compatible to a children's play phone, pick this one because it barely works most of the time and I am going tomorrow to trade it in for a different phone.

Great Phone

By: Jen Richardson on Wednesday, April 25, 2007
From: Burlington, NC (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: Simplicity, user friendly, red light on outside when it rings, nice design

Summary: I love this phone. I don't need all the bells and whistles. It rings loud and the little red bar on the outside of the phone lights up so you can tell it's ringing in a loud environment. It's much more user friendly than some of the phones I've had in the past.
