I have owned and used various Nokia phones in my time and this one is certainly something special. Its not too big or small, its got plenty of functions and yet its not complicated. So below I have described the phone in some detail.
It has four key features:
Firstly its superior design ? Everything is neatly packed together, with the aerial being the only major vulnerability. However, this is not such a problem as it gives you better network coverage I feel.
Secondly its is Highly durable ? It's small, sturdy and has a small aerial. When using this phone I dropped it on a number of occasions, but no damaged was caused. Mind you, I would expect that most phones Nokia phones should be able to withstand damage up to a certain level.
Thirdly it includes the three standard built-in games. They?re not particularly amazing but still they pass time waiting for a curry!
Finally you get up to 3 and half hours' talk time and 200 hours' standby time with standard battery. This is not that bad, although maybe you would expect more for a phone of this price, and position in the market. However, it is unlikely that I am going to be on teh phone constantly for over 3 hours, so this is not really a problem for me.
There are many reasons that I love this phone. Above I have described the features of the phone below are the reasons why I like the 6150.
This is not the one of the smallest phone I have seen, but the quality is what attracts me to Nokia. It is very light, weighing about 5.8 ounces and measuring approximately 5.3? by 2? by 0.8?. This means that it is still small enough to go into your pocket or in the case of a lady into your handbag or even your purse.
The 6150 offers excellenbt features such as a calendar (great for busy Mothers or people that need to keep track of appointments, me not being one of them), a calculator, lots of options to personalise the phone and as I?ve already mentioned three mildly entertaining games. However, I would not buy the phoen only for these features, as the main thing it is for is to phone people, as we tend to forget!!!
Like all phones, it supports text messaging, data transmission capabilities and has a phone directory capable of holding up to 199 names and numbers.
Nokia's soft-key menu system is intuitive and helpful. The large display screen clearly shows menu functions and features, and it is particularly useful for me with my poor eyesight. If you pause at any point during menu navigation, a brief pop-up tip appears to clarify that menu function. This can be very helpful to you, partuclarly on your first go at all the different menus. The 6150 lets you track incoming calls, outgoing calls, and missed calls in three separate logs. This is great for when I can not take my eyes off the road and get to the phone. The 'Navigate' button, centred just above the keypad provides up/down navigation for your phone directory, call logs, menu functions, and volume.
Overall, this is an excellent phone, but consider that there maube be better ones avaiable like the 6210. Everyone has different tastes, and for sheer ease of use, I would buy this one!!!
