[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]I just traded in my old Nokia 6680 to Nokia 6120 Classic.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]It is good looking small phone with much bigger capabilities as compared to my old 6680 especially in the memory size as my main factor to trade in my phone.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2] [/size][/font]
[b][font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]Herewith my comment on my new Nokia.[/size][/font]
[/b]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]First of all, right before I went to the shop for trade in I did back up my 6680 using PC Suit.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]As soon as I got my 6120, I restore it. In a matter of a finger snap, my 6120 got the whole data I made in my 6680 i.e.: Contacts, Messages, Notes and Calendar. [/size][/font]
[size=2][font=\"Comic Sans MS\"]Thanks to Nokia PC Suit. [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][b]Outer appearances:[/b] [/font][/size][/b]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]My 6120 is the black and white one, attractively good looking with shinny finish top and bottom with mate chrome accent.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]The phone size is slightly too small (does it has to be that small?) Display resolution is 320 x 240 same as Nokia N95 but its physical size much smaller. Though the screen is smaller but its higher resolution and dark display background produces high contrast so reading small characters are not too difficult. The sharpness & contrast is good and most of them is zooming facility is added.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]At screen resolution 1024 X 768 this image is about the actual size of 6120 display.[/size][/font]

[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]Overall key pad is good and responsive. To me as an Asian the keypad is OK even I will have difficulties with smaller then what is installed. But for some people they might cause problems. Also it might slip off your palm.[/size][/font]
[size=2][font=\"Comic Sans MS\"]I do not know whether that small size is a real benefit. But for sure with 10 – 15% larger is size it will also fit in to shirt pocket. And it will accommodate bigger size battery that last longer then the current BL-5B 3.7V 820 mAh. And another second loudspeaker on the other side will make this phone becoming full stereophonic.[/font][/size]
[b][size=2][font=\"Comic Sans MS\"]Other features:[/font][/size][/b]
[/b]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]HSDPA connection is good and very fast. Connection Logo always shows 3G but as soon as you are connected and 3.5G is available those logo changes to 3.5G.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]SIM card holder made from, a metal plate so it must be stronger than plastic version. It is indeed a very good improvement.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]The USB cable connector is using standard USB Cable connector that widely available in the market for camera etc. By changing from pop port cable it enable Nokia to reduce it price.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]I got problem with my Nokia Bluetooth headset that used older Nokia charger to charge. 6120 uses 2 mm charger connector that does not fit to the blue tooth charger receptor.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]At first I got slightly difficulties to use the left-right keys as they are located too closed to Clear and menu key.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]The menu display is slightly different to 6680, so I did need some time to get used with 6120 menu display. But in overall is OK and satisfactorily.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]The omission of edit key (pencil symbol) has taken its toll. I got difficulties using this screen snapS60 program that requires edit key to capture the display.[/size][/font]

[/size][/font][font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]Pen/<edit> key replaced and combined with # key and this has taken its toll on ScreensnapS60 program that need edit key to shoot the screen.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]Charging time relatively fast it takes only about 75 minutes from totally empty to fully charged.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]The memory card supplied is 256 MB Micro SD card four times bigger than my old 6680.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]The camera though it is covered with glass protector, it is open and subject to finger touch. So any time before taking picture you had better wipe clean the glass protector from finger marks.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]Side camera shutter is to hard to press, while the navi button also serving as shutter [/size][/font]

[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]After a week trying to install various S60-3 programs mostly failed due to programs “Not Supported” or “Certificate Expired”. This is indeed frustrating as I switch to this 6120 with expectation to have various programs in my phone but is does not happen.[/size][/font]
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"][size=2]I would be very happy if some body can help me to solve these installation problems[/size][/font]
[size=2][font=\"Comic Sans MS\"]To me, an ideal 6120 is:[/font][/size]
