The Nokia 6103 with T-Mobile
I was able to sample this Nokia 6103 for a couple of months in early 2008 before passing it on. It is a nice-looking little clamshell, although the external stub antenna is a bit annoying. Also, the hinge on the flip mechanism seemed a little flimsy. The best features of this phone include its FM radio, VGA camera, Bluetooth, and a relatively large full-color external display. Operating on T-Mobile’s GSM network in the Lancaster, PA, area, this phone pulled in signal like any other Nokia; voice calls could be made on no bars, as long as the operator logo was showing. However, T-Mobile signal in the York, PA, area was poor, and the phone did not have service in some important places.
Pros;
1 ) battery life; only needed charging every three to four days
2 ) pulled in signal well, could call on no bars as long as operator logo was visible
3 ) outer display; full-color and easily visible in outdoor conditions
4 ) keypad is large and has bubbled keys; easy for dialing/texting
5 ) the D-pad is huge, and the navigation buttons are nicely spaced
Cons;
1 ) FM radio requires wired headset to be connected at the pop port
2 ) flimsy hinge for the flip mechanicsm
For the time I had this phone, I liked it, but it lacked some features. Yet, this phone is just another example of Nokia’s ability to design phones that make them legendary for signal-pulling, battery-sipping, and abuse-taking. Great show by Nokia!
