Nokia 6103 / 6102i
I already got it!
I got the Nokia 6103 last week that T-mobile will be selling in a few months. It is exactly like the 6101 except it has Bluetooth. The major upgrade from the 6101 is that the memory is A LOT better. You can actually hold a few dozen pictures and have hundreds of messages saved on your phone without having to delete something every 5 seconds before you can use the camera or send a text message again. I love the Bluetooth since it works so conveniently. The picture quality on the outside LCD screen still sucks..in this model Nokia did not bother to improve that in anyway. Overall it is just as good as the 6101 except the major overall improvement is the memory quality.
...
What about the sound quality. Is the earpiece volume any louder than the 6101?
...
I never used the handsfree headset on my nokia 6101..I only used the speaker phone. I got a bluetooth headset with this phone and it works great. I had the phone on my computer desk and walked around my whole apartment in different rooms with the headset and the bluetooth stayed connected, it never dropped and the sound quality stayed the same.
...
What about the earpeice vloume on the phone itself? Is it sound ok and is it loud enough to hear walking down a busy street?
...
FYI, the problem with the 6101 wasn't really the sound volume itself. If you had one, did you ever notice how the sound volume would sometimes be fine, and then sometimes really hard to hear?
Well, the problem was really the opening into the speaker itself. If you look at the phone, the opening is literally a pinhole size. If this opening touches your pinna (the outer part of your ear), it will seal off the hole and your won't hear much.
So, it all depends on the shape of your pinna. This is why some people couldn't use it (like me) and other people had no problem.
Judging by the photos of the 6103, the opening doesn't look any bigger.
