Nokia 6151

The Nokia 6151 is a 3G phone that looks very similar to the Nokia 6233. It's a classic straight design with a functional keypad and 5-way navigation key.

The Nokia 6151 is an attractive 3G camera phone which comes in a black coloured casing with subtle chrome edging which surrounds the phones screen & keypad. The phone has a large keypad which is user friendly & a clear screen which provides a 262k colour display with a screen resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. The handset is a classic design & measures 108 x 47 x 19 mm with a total weigh of 98 grams. The Nokia 6151 is a pleasure to use & a joy to look at. The Nokia 6131 & Nokia 6136 are mobile phones with flip open mechanism but they both have a similar elegant design concept as the Nokia 6151. The 6151 comes with 30 Mbytes of built in memory & with an expansion slot which can expand the phones memory to up to 2 Gbytes. The user can use the MicroSD™ memory cards to expand the memory & the cards can be swapped without the user having to turn off the phone.

Despite being a 3G phone, the 6151 has a rather lacklustre specification. Although the phone has a video camera, it's rear mounted, making video calling impossible - a major design faux pas for a 3G phone. The camera itself is really nothing special, at just 1.3 megapixels, no flash, and dodgy quality. The 6151 does have a good MP3 player and FM radio, but with no memory card included in the sales package, you'll have to fork out some more money if you want enough memory to store more than a few songs.

The Nokia 6151 comes with the latest messaging services which include text messaging (SMS), multimedia messaging (MMS), instant messaging & audio messaging. The instant messaging service allows the user to have an online conversation with other contacts whom are online at the same time as the user. The user can send a message to any compatible instant message contact in an instant. The Nokia Xpress audio messaging allows the user to send & receive messaging using audio input which is a fast an effective way to express the users feelings in audio. The user can send & receive MMS messages on their phone & enjoy sending & receiving messages which contain pictures, video, sound & text. The MMS message can be sent to any MMS compatible mobile phone user.
