The 6100 is Nokia’s lightest and smallest phone. This tri-band phone features the new Pop-port interface connector for accessory connectivity, and can connect with the PC via USB data cable. The FM radio option has been replaced with an electronic wallet feature.

The 6100 has a different set of icons for the menu items compared to the 7210/6610. The speakerphone is the best yet on a Nokia, and hands-free conversations are now loud and clear.

The 6100 can create and manage distributions lists for SMS messages. You can have up to 20 numbers on each of 7 possible distribution lists. However the SMS typing speed is marginally slower than for the 6610/7210.

The phone feels great whether it is cradled in your palm or snug in the back pocket of your jeans. If you are looking for a color phone that works like the ever-popular 8850, this is it. However, you fingers may a little sore after prolonged twiddling of the ‘sharp’ navigation keys.
