• The elegant case of the new Nokia 6120 houses a feature rich smartphone, which has all the reasons in the world to become a bestseller
  The new Nokia 6120 Classic belongs to neither the multimedia N Series, nor the business E series of the Finnish brand. Good at the essentials, it’s set of features can’t be clearly linked to a particular target of users. The “Classic” attribute refers to the phone’s conservative design. On the other hand, Nokia 6120 features functions far more sophisticated than what you’d expect in this price category.
• Key features:
  Conservative and elegant design
  Impeccable construction
  Symbian 9.2, S60 3rd Edition graphic upgrade and Feature Pack
  Remarkable size and weight for a smartphone
  2-megapixel camera without autofocus
  Instant response of user interface
  Brilliant QVGA display with reflexive surface
  35 MB of internal memory, microSD card slot
  GPRS, EDGE, HSCSD, UMTS, HSDPA
  Document viewer: Quickoffice and PDF
  Bluetooth with A2DP support
  Solid and robust body
  MiniUSB connector
  Very good keypad
  Voice recorder with 60-minute limit.
• Main disadvantages:
  No Wi-Fi
  No “pencil” key
  Susceptible to fingerprints
  No indication of missed events after certain period of time
  Navigation and operation keys not ergonomic enough.
• Keypad for SMS lovers:
  The market success of most phones often depends on their keypad. The one in Nokia 6120 is fast and easy to use. Its keys are made of hard plastic; they feature good elevation and precise response, maki

  ng mistypes a rarity.
  Users with larger fingers may be let down by the D-pad. The bulging edges of the keys however are a sort of compensation.

• Display:Some readers may disagree, but I dare say that all phone manufacturers should learn from Nokia how to make displays. Nokia uses reflexive surfaces, which enormously improve display legibility under all possible conditions and, above all, in direct sunlight. Having long been used in PDA, reflexive and trans-reflexive folios are no news. In fact, Motorola used to have them in its earlier models.Nokia 6120 classic has an active TFT display with QVGA resolution of 320×240 pixels, totaling 16.7 million colors on a 2″ diagonal. Legibility is brilliant. Backlighting is even, animation is fine, and pixels are almost invisible. Color saturation and contrast are great too.
• Classic:-Nokia 6120 classic is a Series 60 3rd Edition phone running on the latest Symbian 9.2 OS. The same OS is present in other Nokia models like N95, N76, or 6110 Navigator. If you’re not new to the Series 60 smartphones, you’ll feel comfortable with 6120 classic. The consistently intuitive control is a strong advantage.he phone is powered by a 369 MHz ARM processor. Applications are assigned approximately 20 MB of RAM. The system is fast and amazingly responsive. The 6120 Classic feels lightning fast compared to other Nokia models. The 6680 or the newer and widely popular N73 would sometimes make you wait before they run an application (the Message Editor, for example).
• Messaging:
  Compared to older Symbian devices, the Messages menu brings no novelties. All messages are managed by one and the same editor. Additional options vary according to the type of message you’re composing. There are three font size options to choose from; predictive input goes without saying. Nokia 6120 classic will read out your messages provided they are typed in English. The character counter displays the number remaining for the chunk of text to be sent as a stand-alone message. The number in brackets refers to the count of chunks in a multipart message. The hash key has some of the capabilities of a pencil, which in Nokia 6120 Classic is missing.
• Music and Performance:Music performance is excellent. The music player in Nokia 6120 classic departs a bit from the players integrated in the N Series. It plays an enormous amount of formats (AAC, AAC+. eAAC+, MP3, MP4, M4A, WMA, RealAudio 7, 8, 10, True tones, WAV). Album covers can be visualized too. The name of the current track appears beneath the album’s image. Songs can be organized in playlists by various criteria. Audio performance can be modified, adjusted to user’s preferences thanks to a 4-band equalizer. Bass settings, extended stereo and echo effect are available too.
• The phone features the Quickoffice application for viewing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents; browsing is fast. Text can be zoomed-in and out, as well as searched. However, the basic version of Quickoffice does not include an editing option. A 15-Euro special upgrade will give you editing capability. Nokia 6120 offers an Adobe PDF viewer.
• Camera:
  No, it’s not. Its 2-megapixel resolution fails to impress. While 2 megapixel could still pass, the lack of auto focus and lens cover is a shame. In the same time, the LED flash is worth a compliment. It only gets activated when shooting and cannot be used as a flashlight at night. It does work great in shooting close-ups, though.
• Conclusion:Nokia 6120 classic is an accomplished phone. Offering great performance at rather moderate price, it will stand up to any competitor. Its conservative but very elegant looks will not appeal to teenage users, but will surely enjoy great demand in other market segments. Taking aside the few disappointments like the camera, Nokia 6120 offers a near complete range of up to date features: a superb display, nearly all existing mobile communication capabilities, and super fast interface. Looking for a new phone and not into putting on shows? Then Nokia 6120 Classic should be on your shortlist.
