Not long afterintroducing their 6102 model (6103 for T-Mobile) cellular telephone, Nokia putout the 6102i, essentially adding in the feature they must have forgotten withthe 6102, Bluetooth capability. They didn't add Bluetooth in exchange for anyof the winning features that made the 6102 and 6103 so popular.

Unless you have a verykeen eye for detail, you won't notice any cosmetic difference between the threemodels. With conservative lines and a traditional clamshell closure, the 6102family of phones is very sleek without being flashy.

As with many ofNokia's clamshell phones, you can see basic information, such as battery level,signal strength and time on the external LCD screen with capacity of up to 4000colors.

On the 6102i Bluetoothmodel, you'll find the infrared port along the right side of the phone. Thevolume keys are on the left where previous Nokia owners will find veryfamiliar. The speakerphone can be found along the spine of the phone and thepop-port connection is along the bottom.

Once you open the6102, 6103 or 6102i you'll find the easy to read 65K color screen. Sure, you could spend more for 262K color oreven 16.7 million color screens that the higher-end models are boastingof.

Taking photos is quickand easy with Nokia's 6102 line. The lens is located at the top of the camerawhen closed and just above the pivot when open. Once you've triggered thecamera, you can begin snapping shots with the phone open or closed just byaiming and pressing the dedicated camera key. The .3 megapixel won't take AnselAdams images and does come up a little lacking compared to other standardmiddle-of-the-road mobile devices that are now including 1.3 megapixels with upto 3+ megapixels found in many higher-end models. Don't expect to make printsof any pictures you shoot. If you use the camera capabilities to make phonewallpapers or send to friends on their digital devices.

Your still shots canbe up to 640 x 480 in size with settings for high, normal and basic imagequality. When the camera is set to high resolution, all .3 megapixels will beused. Fewer pixels are used to create the image when set to normal and fewerstill when on the basic setting.

There are timer andnight mode functions included in the 6201 line of phones, but they are mediocreat best. No digital zoom, artistic filter, exposure or brightness adjustmentsand lack of color balance all make the camera feature a bit more disappointingthan previous and more recent Nokia models.

Video recordingresolution is 128 x 96 pixels and is encoded in 3GP codec format. You can sendvideo recordings to friends and family, but don't expect to win any Emmy's foryour direction or capture of the event of the century. Even if you couldcapture it, the blurriness and overall low quality of the video clips wouldrender it almost useless. Bottom line, if you want to take pictures or videowith your camera for usefulness rather than novelty, look to another Nokiamodel.

Just as the Nokia 6102falls short in the camera and video department, so it does in the audiodepartment. There's no MP3 player and the quality is downright inadequate. Thesaving grace is that this device does include an FM radio with the capabilityto preset up to 20 stations and it supports MP3 and downloadable ringtones.

As mentioned earlier,sending text messages is pretty easy with this phone. Nokia bridged the gapbetween messaging and chatting by adding AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo!Messenger and MSN Messenger capabilities to this phone. Chatting by phone takeson a whole new meaning.

You aren't limited totext-only messages, you are also able to send and receive multimedia messagesin the form of pictures. The recently introduced Nokia Xpress will allow you tosend video as well.

The package ofapplications on the 6102 line of phones is very similar to other Nokia phones:a phone book that holds up to 500 entries, an alarm clock, calculator, timer,calendar, notes and to-do list. The 6102i is equipped with POP3, IMAP4 and SMTPprotocols to allow you to check your email without much work. The 6102 line isJava compatible.

Storage capacities areless than stellar, with just 4.2 MB of internal memory. This might leave youwanting more if you are a shutterbug, like to store email or text messages orjust like to download games and ringtones in your spare time. There's no expansionslot, either, so you only get 4.2 MB.

If you are looking fora quality phone without flashiness that comes with many updated devices, theNokia 6201 line might be for you. With Bluetooth and a solid design, you'llfind this little nugget to be handy and sturdy with Internet capabilitieswithout a lot of other fancy gadgetry to pay for.
