Nokia 6030 Review

Nokia 6030 Review (Expert)

Just as there is a market for mobile phones choked full of the latest features, there is also a demand for basic handsets with nothing fancy at all. Nokia's latest venture, the 6030, is one such instance. In terms of features, the 6030 is very similar to the Nokia 3100, which was also designed as a basic, functional phone with minimal features...While the phone runs on the Nokia's popular Series 40 platform, it has the barest of PIM features...Nokia 6030 is directed at basic users and is ideal for the less tech-savvy older generation, the army boys and young children whose mobile needs are simple. The candy-bar handset will also appeal with its attractive pricing.

Nokia 6030 Review (User)

I do love this phone! I must admit I was physically attracted to it for it's loudspeaker capability and then I got it and my son told me it had a built in radio! (a friend of his has it as well) I was totally floored. This is considering I've been a "regular" phone user for the past decade. Nothing fancy, no camera's or mp3's players. I have enough gadgets and didn't want to add the extra burden of carrying even more on me. The battery life on this phone is amazing. As I type to you now I haven't charged my phone in about 2 days and I've entertained more than my share of calls. Where I live at, no one is able to get good reception when they come to my house, only my phone can. Love it! The usability isn't great, but it isn't bad either. Like I said before I'm not used to the extras that come on phone nowadays so it's still taking me some time to get used to what everything is and does. (I've had it about a month now)

I love this phone! I love how it has a radio built into it. Plus you can download different real sing ringtones! The wallpaper you can have it moving if you want. No more stink in the old days where the picture sit still. For the truth I never thought I would like another none flip phone. But I was totally wrong. I think this phone is going to be my phone for a long time.

hi,i've just bought myself a nokia 6030. as i student on tight budget the price of this phone was great for the quality of the phone. although its not all singing and dancing that doesnt bother me because my main needs for a phone are:calls and textscalculatoralarm clockcalendarunit converterlong battery lifethe nokia 6030 does all these and more. it doesnt have a camera which is a good thing because it would just be another distraction from studying, and who needs a phone camera if you've got a digital camera anyways?the only things i was slightly dissapointed about although are very minor issues:a large number of the ring tones are annoying!the backlight doesnt stay on for very long (although this is good as it saves battery)
