Review: Nokia 6111
Annalyn S. Jusay of The Manilla Bulletin suer seemed to like her eval 6111:
Because it’s almost Christmas, the Finnish mobile giant Nokia is pulling a few surprises up its sleeve and this includes coming up with a series of slider phones to add to its arsenal of clamshells and monoblocs. The first to emerge out of this line-up is the Nokia 6111, a daintily-designed handset that possesses both the form to show off to your friends and all the features you’d want in a mid-level phone these days, like a camera that is not just V-G-A.
I have to admit I was excited when my editor told me I would be reviewing a sliding handset from Nokia. After all, this brand is not known for rolling out “sliders,” its close competitor from the kimchi peninsula is. Having said so, I was not disappointed. This model boasts of the flawless ergonomics that Nokia is known for, with smooth rounded edges and ultra-light at just 92 grams.
Having fallen in love with my pink-over-white Nokia 6111 at first sight, it was then time to put it to the test. What I did was to tinker with the menu and go through its list of features. Camera with flash? Check! The Nokia 6111 has a 1 megapixel cam which is commendable for a handset of its size. FM radio? Check! It also has a separate music player, media player, voice recorder and equalizer which you can set to your favorite musical genres. Connectivity? Double check! It is rare for a mini-phone to possess both Bluetooth, infrared and USB sync capability but this pretty babe has it. My initial verdict is that if you are like me who doesn’t want a “power phone” at this point in time because you have other gadgets like an iPod and a digicam, then the Nokia 6111 is desirable enough to fit your needs....
