I have owned many phones in the past this phone is great. I loove it its sexy and very comfortable. It has a cople flaws which are my opinion, It dose not have camcorder fuctions with the camera, and it dose not have a mp3 player which I don'r care for myself, and the flip spring action is not that great. But as I said these are my dislikes, I love the phone over all because its comfortable and sleek One other thing people are talking about defects I've had my phone for three weeks and its been great. I believe problems depend on what range your in as far as satelite. Scale of 1/10 I give it a 8.5

USER REVIEW: Horrible

USER REVIEW: I believe Nokia cannot make a good flip phone

PROSNone
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.

USER REVIEW: A Bomber!!

PROSEasy grip! Good reception!
CONS
My third one in 6 months! All defective!! My prior phone - a Motorola lasted 3 years - until I dropped it and it broke.
SUMMARY
If this 3rd one breaks before 6 months - I am giving up with Nokia!

USER REVIEW: Not happy

PROSNice 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.

USER REVIEW: The Nokia 6103, a great value.

10/17/2006 6:06:28 PM
PROSBright 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.

USER REVIEW: Pretty Good Phone

PROSGreat 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.

USER REVIEW: Excellent new phone from T Mobile

9/26/2006 7:54:17 PM
PROSSmall size, weight, included camera, the ease of the Nokia interface.
CONS
Not many. None so far in fact!!
SUMMARY
This is an excellent phone loaded with features. This being my first cell phone, I'm extremely happy with it.

USER REVIEW: It was cool at first

PROSCool 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.

USER REVIEW: Best Yet........

PROSsmall size,easy to use,good reception,attractive design
CONS
none
SUMMARY
I recently swiched to this phone because the Samsung was worthless. Nokia has always offered great products, service, reception, and ease of use are perfect.

USER REVIEW: Nokia 6103 Cellular Phone

8/5/2006 9:51:59 PM
PROSFeatures "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.

USER REVIEW: Improvements to the 6103 are great.

7/22/2006 11:01:36 PM
PROSBesides 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.
