From: East Chicago, IN (United States)
Experience: 2 Years
Pros: It's a phone

Cons: Doesn't take good pics, always has a malfunction even if u replace it

Summary: Ok so i got the nokia 6103 for my 1st phone it was ok it worked well a couple months later my volume button didnt work, if i went 2 fast through the menu the phone would freeze and i'd have to turn it off so i called t-mobile and got a replacement one which was a horrible mistake this second one did the same it froze one time i was just playing my ringtones and it froze then it started making a weird noise and it started deleting my ringtones on its own i turned the phone off and the tones all came back then a couple weeks ago im sitting in my english class and i feel something hot in my pocket i take out my phone and its super hot i didnt know what to do so i turned it off and it cooled down i was lucky it didnt burst in flames a week later i calle dup t-mobile told them my problem they told me my warranty ended so i hung up next day went out and bought the samsung blast and im really happy with it i dont have to worry about it freezing up or bursting in flames

I believe Nokia cannot make a good flip phone

Experience: 11 Months
Pros: None

Cons: Dim LCD, bad reception, defective flip

Summary: I had this Nokia 6103b phone for less than a year, suddenly the flip started making a clicking noise. I called up my provider T-Mobile and explained them and they told me that this phone is under warranty and we will send you the replacement but if this is due to out of warranty reasons you have to pay 100 dollars. I asked T-mobile to evaluate this before replacement but they denied that. Then I called up Nokia and they asked me to send the phone to repair center. I sent the phone and after 15 days I got the following,

“Your Nokia 6103b device, serial number ****************, has been returned to you unrepaired. Generally devices are returned unrepaired for one of the following
reasons: the estimated repair cost was not authorized, we received no response to the repair quote estimate, the device was not made by Nokia or we do not have repair capabilities for that model since it was not distributed by Nokia in this country.”

I called up customer service and repair center but they were not able to give me exact reason why they returned the phone unrepaired. At least they should give me the reason why they were not able to repair. This phone never had any physical or liquid damage, flip noise started happening by itself due to the manufacturing defects.

I BELIEVE NOKIA CAN NOT MAKE A GOOD FLIP PHONE

I do not recommend any Nokia product to anyone as their customer service is bad and their products are too cheap. I have another Nokia phone that I am using right now is also not working properly; two of its buttons are not working.

From: North Tonawanda, NY (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Nice flip phone, FM radio, clear display,simple to operate,seems well built

Cons: Text messaging

Summary: The phone is a good phone, but the main drawback is when receiving text messages, the phone either shuts itself off or it act like it wants to.

The Nokia 6103, a great value.

Overall Rating:
3.3 out of 5
By: Kyle Kennedy on Tuesday, October 17, 2006
From: Aloha, OR (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Bright screens, the backlight is powerful. The battery is very effective and efficient. The camera is decent, and it has great build quality.

Cons: The camera is below-par image wise, it lacks many features that other phones have. The OS is pretty crummy and the phone is slow browsing menus.

Summary: All in all, it isn't a bad phone, these are great for what they're priced. I wouldn't buy it again, but I'd certainly invest in a better phone. This one is rock solid, and will probably outlive me.

Pretty Good Phone

Overall Rating:
3.8 out of 5
By: D Huynh on Tuesday, September 26, 2006
From: Murfreesboro, TN (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Great reception. Stylish design.

Cons: Antenna on wrong side. Limited features.

Summary: This first thing that comes to your attention is the modern design of the phone. It has a nice rubbery cover. The reception on this phone is incredible compared to all of my previous phones (RAZR, various Samsungs, and other motorolas). The major problem I have about this phone is that the antenna is on the opposite side of where normal phone antennas are. I hold my phone in my left ear and the antenna gets in the way of holding it comfortably. Other than that it is a great phone for the money.

It was cool at first

By: Wil Petraska on Monday, September 04, 2006
From: East Lansing, MI (United States)
Experience: 1 Months
Pros: Cool looking
Rugged
Bluetooth Capabilities

Cons: The phone won't charge anymore. I've only had it for a month and it's already broke. Never dropped or damaged in anyway. Just went to plug it in one day and surprise, won't charge.

Summary: Overall, I'm disappointed. After only a month and it's broken. There's no excuse for that. It has a few good features but once I get mine back from Nokia, I probably won't keep it because in all honesty, quality is the most important thing to me. If it breaks, I don't want it. I would advise against getting this phone.

Nokia 6103 Cellular Phone

Overall Rating:
4.5 out of 5
By: Chelsea M. Buchan on Saturday, August 05, 2006
From: New Middletown, OH (United States)
Experience: 3 Weeks
Pros: Features "Bluetooth technology", to use for hands-free conversations. Considered especially lightweight, and features a handy camera. I also like that you can record audio, and then set it as your ringtone. It has a radio, as well. The battery life is considered very good compared with other phones.

Cons: I may be imagining it, but I don't think the image quality of the camera is as good as the 6101 model. I've seen the camera feature rated as low as 3/10, but it's still nice to have.

Summary: Newly released after the success and popularity of the 6101 Nokia model. Basically the same phone, but with newly added "Bluetooth" technology, and small differences - such as the look, or the new headset.

Improvements to the 6103 are great.

Overall Rating:
4.3 out of 5
By: Suzanne Roberts on Saturday, July 22, 2006
From: Madison, WI (United States)
Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Besides what I already liked about the 6101 the updated 6103 has an even better external display, added Bluetooth, and sleek design.

Cons: Small complaints include the fact that they didn't get rid of the external stub antenna, and the speakphone quality is not loud enough.

Summary: I just got the 6103 after using the 6101 for over a year. The improvements that Nokia made to the 6103 are just what the phone needed. It was already a great little camera phone, but the Bluetooth, the menu speed, and the added rubberized grip are wonderful.
