Nokia 6101 / 6102

I got the 6101 delivered yesterday and charged it over night.

My impressions so far are very, very good! The build quality is excellent. Smooth hinge, solid build, great screens, nice button feel - typical Nokia bullet proof feel. The sound is very good from both incoming and out going quality. Very clear and clean sound. Volume control is very easy to control. The speaker phone is great - that something I've wanted for a very long time!

I popped my Tmo SIM chip into the handset and viola! No problem at all! It also set the voice mail number on the "press-and-hold 1" function by itself. I was a little worried about that one! I loaded most of my numbers onto the SIM card from my other handset before inserting it - so all of my numbers a...

Earlier, I was looking at the ringtones site for Cingular's MEdia Net, and listed in the Nokia phone selection is 6102 and it shows a pic, which is of the 6101 cover. Strange...

is the 6102 available ANYWHERE in the usa?

In the Miami area or South Florida there advertise in a "Back to School Cool" add for 89.99 with a 2yr contract coming soon. I call my local cingular store and the sales person told me the first week of September which I'm taking august 29 for the release date. So it should be in everyones hands soon hopefully i guess...

can you take pictures with the flip closed??

what are the differences between the 6101 and the 6102?

Today as I was seeking information on this phone, I decided to go on the Nokia website. The 6102 no longer has a page, but a full website, and coming soon is all over it. I just wanna know how soon its gonna be!!! ☹️

$250 on prepay 😁
$50 on 3yr
i was looking for prepaid

was on the Mobiledia website and in the forums i guess a rep said August 29th it was coming out. just FYI.



Also someone said that cingular is expecting to launch something like no one else August 29th, so well see. Maybe that will be a good day.

Amazon.com has the Nokia 6102 listed for cingular but not available yet. Ive bought phones with service from them before since they are cheap and reliable. Just thought that might be a good sign if amazon.com has the phone on the site ready to go when cingular is. Maybe its closer?

Maybe chocolatchild can help with this.

When you flip open the handset and touch the 5 way navigator key say, UP I get the camera! Left and I get a blank new message. Right is the calendar and Down is names.

I don't really know how I found that exactly. It's really slick tho - you can get to those things in no time flat! Does yours have (do) that too?

Now I'm wondering if you can change it and have each button to open various functions. Hmm. Very neat!

Another Q. How do you alter and change the "My style 1" and "My style 2" menu items? I'm not real sure what I'm supposed to do with them. I'm guessing that it's to set a whole bunch of settings to a style (ring tone, wallpaper, screen saver, etc.) so that everything can be changed...

People are saying that Cingular is going to carry the silver phone, which is supposed to be the 6102 and T Moble will carry the black and silver one, which is supposed to be the 6101. But from what I seen on Nokia.com, is that the 6101 can come in both colors. And the difference with 6102 is that it has more features like being equipped with several key extras, and co-branding covers.

So I would like to know if you can choose the color you like?

And for those who have the phone, what color do you have and what company are you with?


Thank you for all responses 😉

I thought the tagret date was 13th.
Where is it? Not in New York City!

Does anyone know if the keypad from the 6101 can be put into the 6102. The reason I ask is b/c I like the larger keys on the 6101.

Anyone know a date?

it is now avail. in canada on the rogers network i found out....i dont know how long its been available there and maybe this is good news for all of us waiting in the u.s. --- i really hope it comes out this week!!!! (not likely!)

Wish it came w/ at leats a 1.3 megapixel...would be a LOT more appealing 😢

A gsmarena.com opinion:

"No matter how loud you adjust the ear volume, you can't hear the person you are talking to on the other end. Its so totally frustrating."

I know those of you who already have the phone say the audio quality is good. Wonder if there are some "lemons" out there, or maybe these guys are hard of hearing.
