Nokia 6124 Classic

The Nokia 6124 Classic – Functional, Simple and Classy

Nokia has always been known for its simplicity and functionality, which is why the Nokia 6124 classic is no exception to this rule. If ain’t broke, why fix it, right?
The Nokia 6124 is Vodafone-exclusive model that is a variant of the Nokia 6120 classic. The differences lie in the slightly different and more rounded shape and the keypad design, but the functionality, simplicity, and user-friendliness remains the same. This also applies to its features.
A Glimpse of the Basic Features of the Nokia 6124 Classic
The 6124 is basically a standard and straightforward mobile phone with 3g capabilities and other features encased in a simple, sleek, and classy chrome design which comes in white or black variants. The screen is 320 by 240 pixel resolution with a 2 inch color screen. The weight is a more or less normal 93 grams, with a thickness of 16mm and 105mm height x 46mm width, providing the whole phone with a solid feel. The memory is a bit lacking at 35 megabytes, but makes up for it with a memory card slot which can accommodate up to an additional 8 gigabytes of data. The keypad is pretty much the standard numerical keypad, with tactile keys which will be particularly useful to those who like sending text or SMS messages.
You may also browse the internet with the 3g feature, making you able to share audio, video and pictures straight from the phone, as well as check on important emails or simply keep yourself occupied when passing the time. It can also play standard monophonic, polyphonic, and MP3 audio formats. There is also the option for Bluetooth connectivity, which allows you to interact with other Bluetooth enabled mobile phones as well as other Bluetooth devices like a Bluetooth headset, for example, which allows for easier calls.
A Glimpse of the Features of the Nokia 6124 Classic
Camera
Besides the basic features, the built in camera is usually considered the other most important feature of the phone. While not something really flashy, the Nokia 6124 delivers quality pictures with its 2 megapixel camera, which is also capable of recording video in 3gp format. The Nokia 6124 can also play H264, MPEG4, Real Video, and 3GPP video formats. There is also a built in flash for situations where the isn’t enough ambient light, as well as panoramic imaging feature. There is also a second camera in front of the unit for video calls with other 3g phones.
Battery and power
The battery and power capabilities of the Nokia 6124 are average, going up to 3 hours and 10 minutes of straight standard talk time and 2 hours and 24 minutes using the 3g video calling feature, with the standby mode reaching as much as 230 hours – both of these on a single full charge. The battery charges from a completely empty battery to full in about an hour and a half.
Pricing
The price tag for this phone is very affordable (the exact amount of course, will depend on where you buy the unit). Make sure that you are buying a unit with at least a 1 year warranty for both parts and service. It is up to you if you wish to purchase extended warranty (if offered by the store). Be careful to buy only from licensed distributors who will give you genuine brand new products.
The Verdict: Is the Nokia 6124 Classic right for me?
All in all, the Nokia 6124 classic is a classic cutout from Nokia’s straightforward phone designs, which boasts a respectable amount of features with a very affordable price. The phone is really not suited for techies who are looking for a lot of features, but this is perfect for ordinary users who are looking an uncomplicated phone that has a little extra from the usual.
