Is It Your Type Body Three S's

Sep 8, 2006, 1:38 PM by Eric Lin

An in-depth review of Nokia's new flagship feature phone. Find out how this stylish GSM clamshell stacks up. Updated with a video review.

Nokia has only recently cozied up to the clamshell, so it has taken them some time to find a design that is both stylish and exhibits the clean functionality so common in Nordic design. Their first designs were simple and clean, but rather clunky. The 6126 is the first clamshell from Finland to have the refined look and feel Nokia is known for.

Although it is difficult to overlook the improved style of the 6126, the improved interface deserves equal attention. This is Nokia's first phone for the US to feature series 40 version 3 and with it, cleaner, easier to use menus and an active standby screen similar to the one on S60 smartphones.

Good looks and a powerful, easy-to-use menu system make this a phone just about any user can feel good about.

Not Cingular

They already cancelled it.... 😡 T-Mobile perhaps???

Is it possible they only cancelled the non-HAC 6126 in favor of the 6126h with HAC?

If not, T-Mobile might get the 6133h...

The Nokia 6126 phone was not cancelled. It is now currently available at a local Cingular store.

Question about Nokia 6131

The 6131 is a quad-band phone, so why is it described in the article as "a version of the phone for Europe and Asia"? It would seem to me to be a perfect fit for US carriers/users...

Rich Brome

It.. just is. 😉

The 6126, 6131, and 6133 are all pretty much the same phone. The 6131 is just the version for Europe and Asia (where they care more about IR and FM) and the 6126 and 6133 are versions for the US< where the FCC is starting to m ...
