Nokia 6126 Cell Phone Reviews

by Jacob -- August 25th 2007 -- WM, PA

The Nokia 6126 is one of the best i have had. I had a Samsung before but my mother had a Nokia and i liked it more. This phone is the best of the two it has an incredible 1.3 MP camera with 8x zoom and video. I especially like the memory expansion. The only down side to this phone is the battery life, its only 3 hours of talk. However other than the battery life it is perfect for anyone who is a light talker. I would recommend this phone to everyone

This is my fourth Nokia phone, so I am very familiar with the menu system, etc.. Each one has been better then the last and 6126 is superior in every way. Most important to me is call quality, both incoming and outgoing whether using bluetooth or not. The camera is good and has adjustments for night use and bright sunlight. Programmable soft keys are a nice feature. There are a few negatives. Battery life is not good if you use bluetooth. I advise getting a spare battery and a desktop charger. There isn't much to choose from in the way ringtones. I had to buy one that suited me.

I love the phone, but it has such a small area for the sound piece, that sometimes I have trouble hearing the caller. Also the battery life is not very long. I have to charge it every night. Other than that, it is a good easy phone to use. If you don't need lots of bells and whistles, this is a wise choice.

We got this phone for work and it is seriously lacking. The screen will go blank on its own, drops calls when others on the same network are doing fine,at times you have to reset it because calls start going straight to voice mail,and you better have your ear exactly over the speaker hole or you wont hear a thing. The camera quality is terrible and you can only hold about 10 pictures, (there are 5 of us here using the same style phone and all having same problems). I understand NOKIA to being one of the better brands but with this phone they have a major loss.

I like pretty much everything about this phone except the SOUND QUALITY. This is my THIRD Nokia phone and I selected it because of my past experience with Nokia and superior reception and sound. However, this phone, the 6126, is very disappointing. I have already exchanged it once because I thought it must be defective. This new one has the same terrible sound / reception. Why keep a phone, no matter how cool it is, if you can't hear what the person on the other friggin' end is saying??!!! Fortunately I am still within my 30 days, so I will reluctantly be taking it back.

This phone sucks, I am really disappointed in it. The volume on it is horrible, I have it turned all the way up and no matter who I am speaking too, I can barely hear them. The camera takes lousy pictures and can not hold more than a handful. I just got the Nokia 6126 and I haven't added very much to it, games, music, videos, ect., but when I take a picture (I only have about 6 pics stored), I have to delete some files(like the ringtones and graphics that came with the phone). If I do not delete more files, it will not let me take a photo. "What really bothers me is that the sales guy totally talked me into buying this phone saying that it took great pictures. I was interested in a different one, a Wii, but he said this was a better phone. SURE!!! Also, everything is in a wierd place. You can't go to camera to see your pics, you have to go to "My Stuff, "Tones and Graphics", "Images". That makes no sense. Everything is like that, this phone is very hard to navigate. And, since I got it over the phone(it was mailed to me), if I want to exchange it, I have to send them the phone, then wait about a week or two for a different one to come in. I do not have a home phone, the only way to get in touch with me outside of my office is to call my cell. Plus if I have an emergency, I will be without any way of contacting anyone. I am really disappointed in the phone itself, but am more disappointed in "LetsTalk" itself. I certainly will tell (and have already told) everyone I know not to use this service. I am especially disappointed with my sales rep, Jacob Vandagriff. He talked me out of the phone I wanted saying that it was a phone that was very easy to damage and telling me that the one I currently have was more durable, took better pics, and was an overall better phone. I think he should have just let me get the phone I wanted. Also, right after I got the phone, I left several messages for him, it has now been weeks and he has yet to return my call. I doubt I even will.

ThE Nokia 6126 works well in my area on at&t as Nokia and at&t own/operate the local towers. The features are somewhat easy to use without the manual. Calls, text and camera are easiest but web and calendar are more difficult to use. Overall it suits my needs. Advice, if you make your own wallpapers, screen savers, and or ringtones, get the usb cable instead of messaging it to yourself.. Also, get a microSDcard. You will need it for the camera or music player since the phone has only 10mp memory.

The Nokia 6126 is one of the worse phones I ever owned. It drops call constantly, gets minimal reception when others on the same Cingular plan get 3+ bars, will reset it self for no apparent reason and just plain feels more like a toy then a serious phone. But one of the worst things about this phone is its battery life (I would have marked 0 if it was available!). I end up charging it at least 2 -3 times each day. If you forget your charger with this phone you are in trouble. I don't recommend this phone for anyone but the most casual of users. Very disappointed in Nokia for manufacturing this piece of garbage and at at&t for pushing it.

I lost a Motorola v365 and got the Nokia 6126. What a difference! The Nokia has unacceptable call quality-tin can echo and half or less normal volume. People that I call complain that they can't hear me and that there are noises on the connection. The Nokia was exchanged for another, same model, same results. Back to the store for?

I love the option of changing settings in your camera to night mode, solarize etc, I especially like the frames you can have for your pictures. The Nokia 6126 an easy to use awesome phone!!!
