A Nokia 6101 Phone Deal That’s Not Refurbished

It’s that time again! Just when you thought life was getting boring, here’s another great cell phone deal courtesy of Ritz Camera, Inc.

The T-mobile Prepaid Nokia 6101 pack includes the Nokia 6101 phone (new), and a time card with ($15? I think) of prepaid minutes. Normally this retails at $149.99, but if you purchase another time card (the cheapest one is $10), you can get it for $99.99 – $50 rebate = $49.99. Score!

There’s a lot of Ritz Camera stores, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. However, each store seems to stock only 1-2 so get ‘em before they’re gone!

The Nokia 6101 is an 850/1800/1900 triband phone with a VGA camera and external display. For this price, that’s pretty impressive considering the Nokia 6061 phone deal is $49.99 for a flip phone WITHOUT a camera.
With that said, it’s another Nokia Series 40 device with the same features: FM radio, loudspeaker, mp3 ringtones, java games, etc. It’s an entry level model but getting one for this price is a steal without a contract.

VM setup for ADK 4.5 migration

Yesterday marks the first day on The Nokia Phone Blog where I actually didn’t get any chance to update. So today it looks like I’ll have to do double duty.

First we’ll take a look at the Nokia N71 phone, another triband/3G Nseries flip-phone.

The Nokia N71 Phone

The N71 is basicaly a smaller, lighter N90 with an additional camera for video conferencing, a crappier screen, and support for miniSD over MMC.

Form Factor: Flip
Bands: Triband 900/1800/1900/WCDMA 2100
Weight: 139g / 5 ounces / .30 pounds
Thickness: 25.8 mm thickness
SAR value: .36 W/kg ear, .19 W/kg body (more info on SAR values and cell phone radiation here)
Battery: 970 mah
Talk time: up to 4 hours
Camera: 2 megapixel w/ flash, interior VGA camera for videoconferencing
Interface: Symbian OS 9.1
Other Features: Bluetooth, loudspeaker, expandable miniSD, visual radio, mp3/video, push to talk

It’s got your standard Symbian OS interface, and standard Symbian features – video, mp3, games, applications, etc. The displays aren’t exactly something to write home about: the main screen is a 262k color screen at a resolution of 320×420 pixels. Actually, the internal screen is quite large, both pixel-wise and overall size-wise: it’s 2.4 inches. Compare that to the Nokia N90 which has a 2.1 inch, 352×416 pixel display.

The “cool” feature on the Nokia N71 is the addition of a second VGA camera to complement the external 2 megapixel camera on the outside. Useful for videoconferencing or taking lousy quality pictures of yourself.

Other than that, there’s no WLAN/wi-fi on this phone – it’s one of the more “budget” phones on the Nseries line.

Retail price of the Nokia N71 phone: 400 euros / $492 USD

Nokia C5-03 Specs, Price and Release Date

Nokia would never stop. Yes, of course, a giant smartphone manufacturer will never stop its steps to give us the hottest device time after time. And Nokia will be ready to announce its newest device called Nokia C5-03. But, it wouldn’t give you the latest Symbian OS as the high-end Nokia smartphone keeps, that is Symbian 3 OS, but it brings Symbian 1 version. Do you need to know a lot more about its specifications? Let’s discuss it here.

Nokia C5-03 has 5megapixel camera with fixed-focus, WiFi and GPS. On the other side, it will be an adorable lightweight device by its 93 grams of weight only. As for the display the device brings you 3.2″ nHD (360×640) resistive touchscreen and it has 105.8 x 5.10 x 13.8 dimension. As for expandable microSD you will get a 2GB card in the box, while its technology offers quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band 3G with HSDPA and HSUPA.

What about its battery life? It has 25 days of standby time and 11,5 hours of talk time. Do you think it would be a good signal to get the phone when it has been released? The energy of the phone seems to be impressive anyway.

The Nokia C5-03 will be available worldwide by the end of the year for around 170 euro (237 USD) before taxes and subsidies. It’s odd that Nokia launches another Symbian^1 device, when it has already got Symbian ^3 up and running on three other phones – especially the Nokia C6-01, which is quite close to the C5-03 specs-wise.
