All CELLPHONE AND ACCESSORIES REVIEW

Review 1

I went into a store a few weeks ago just to look around and I saw a table with a few cell phones on it and decided to look into the pricing listed (this phone was listed as an upgrade for just $49.99). I wasn’t really sure I qualified but it looked good enough for $50 that it would be a nice upgrade to my old LG Shine.

What an understatement. Ok, this phone is not as capable as an IPhone. So what? You can get it for less money, it has fairly easy controls to operate it, and texting is very easy with it. I could not be happier with it and highly recommend this phone to anyone who wants an easy to use phone/texting combo.

Easily store many numbers and names for snap dialing to necessary people. When you need to talk this thing makes it easy for you to do so. I could not be happier with it. Didn’t I say that already.

Great phone. I cannot believe the list price. I find it to be perfect for my needs. I use it mainly as a business phone.

Look into this before you buy something a lot more expensive. If you can get a great phone AND save money, you then have nothing to lose but the price.

The battery life is nearly twice that of the N96. Granted, I’m not in a 3G coverage area (it’s not even supported in the US for this phone, just EDGE), but I can last at least 2 days per charge with heavy browsing, music listening, and “messing around” for a few hours, on this device.

Symbian S60 is an awesome OS, but it is beginning to show its age (especially after coming from an iPhone). However, Symbian is my favorite OS by far, but perhaps that is largely biased by my “geeky” figure-it-out-as-you-go nature. Now, it isn’t HARD to use, it’s just not as user friendly as some of the newer, more mainstream devices are. And this isn’t a problem at all for me. The third party app. development for S60 is strong as ever. Immediately after unboxing, I installed both a p2p and a torrent app. This is a pretty amazing and convenient feature, for a phone. Granted, I have not used Windows Mobile, but I’m sure there are similar apps available for that as well. However, finding and installing those apps was very easy and non-problematic on the i8510’s S60 OS. Not to mention, there are thousands of more useful apps available for your perusal (but they may take some effort to find; there is no “App Store” for easy-as-biscuits app-discovery and installation).

The hardware on this phone is amazing. It has an optical mouse for true, PC-like web browsing. Long gone are the days of using a 4-way directional pad for choppy and slow browsing on the included WebKit browser. With the optical mouse, the web is smooth and flowly to browse. And the sensitivity is easily alterable as per your own personal preference. I opted to increase the sensitivity vastly, which makes it even easier to use. Unlike most high-end Nokia phones (excluding some of the E-series), a good amount of hard, sexy metal is employed in the device design. This both makes it very sturdy as well as visually and tactically appealing to the fingers. Perhaps one of the few things Apple does right is incorporate metal into their devices; the new Macbooks being a prime example. I am very happy that this is being more generously applied to other electronics by other manufacturers now, and I hope it continues.

I bought this phone in purple - in support of pancreatic cancer awareness and because I wanted a quad band phone.
It is nice to look at, has a nice “feel”, but the features are basic.
There is very little you can do with it in terms of the telephone aspect of it. I guess it is great for photos, especially since it has the photo editor. The screen is the best feature on this phone. It is big and performs well even in direct sunlight (a plus for the camera users). After 6 photos which I transferred from my Nokia I was told that the memory was full. My Nokia 6320 has loads of photos and music on it.

I’ve had my 6010 for years. It just never breaks down, never locks up, never goes wierd. I’ve fallen back to it several times, once after my blackberry became quirky, and once with an international phone. Originally, I purchased a much more expensive spiffy phone with camera, bells and whistles. I brought it back to exchange for this phone failing to get a clear line. I live in a poor reception area. The sales person said the signal would be better and there would be less hassels. He was right. I can always depend on this little fellow. It doesn’t look like much, but I am secure that my calls will happen when I want them to. This is a great back up, no headache phone.

After reading some of these reviews, I was asking myself if these people have the same phone I do. I dumped my 8125 (pathetic at best) for the Tilt, and boy was I surprised…in all the wrong ways. First of all, no case, no headphones (and no headphone JACK!)despite the fact that headphones are listed ON THE BOX as an included accessory; when quizzed on this the AT&T-owned store sales rep replied “they changed their mind, I guess”. On to the phone. First of all it is about twice the weight of the 8125, and finished in a slippery gloss black sheen that makes it all but impossible to get it out of the separately purchased holster without dropping it (took 2 months to find one that fit the odd size of this phone); the power button and the “push to talk” button (more on this annoying feature later) all but guarantee when your slipping and sliding to get it out of the holster you’ll hit one of them and mess something up or hang up on your caller. The phone comes preloaded with TONS of absolutely useless software (I guess they REALLY wanted it to feel like a Windows-based PC!); the button array on the front was laid out poorly, the buttons almost too small for fingers to use, and then there is the lovely “push-to-talk” button…it does nothing but annoy you and ask you over and over and over again if you want to buy the push-to-talk service - it’s as if they put the button in the most usable space to ensure you accidentally hit it a hundred times a day (and I do)just so you get annoyed and buy the service.

first a comparison to the e61i: i had both the e61 and e61i and this is a major improvement over both. the form factor is incredible as it is only 10mm thin, much narrower than its predecessors, and feels very solid and sleek with its all metal body. the phone is just beautiful to look at. nokia has improved its processor greatly and the phone has almost no wait time with all its functions now. when i went back to use the e61i, it was unbearably slow compared to the e71. the keypad on the e71, although a little cramped, feels good on the fingers. one of my biggest complaints about the e61i was that earphone speaker was hard to hear out of, but the e71’s narrower body and seemingly louder speaker solves the problem. the e71 has also added a microUSB port, and 2.5mm earphone jack. in terms of software, the e71 has an updated symbian os that includes some additional features and programs that were pleasant to see. the biggest program improvements for me was the updated organizer and the shortcut key options. for all e61 and e61i users out there, the e71 is a must update to nokia’s wonderful line of phones.
