Nokia 6120 == <3

I’ve been gone for awhile and figure it was time for an update -

On my trip to Dubai, UAE (pix); I purchased the Nokia 6120 (something I cannot find here in the states), and am loving it!

The pros (and there are alot):

• super small (pocket friendly)
• 3.5G quadband
• very nice QVGA screen
• dual cameras
• a real loud loudspeaker
• latest symbian available
• usable and coherent mp3 player (unlike LG’s)
• super fast browser (based on apple/safari’s webkit)
• j2me love (i’ve got a ton of apps already installed and all work flawlessly)
  • gmail
  • yahoo go
  • google maps
  • opera mini
  • shozu
• all the great things about nokia that i’ve always loved (gui design, profiles, contact lists, groups)
• new blackberry/winmobile like front menu (list of favorite apps to show)
• mac connectivity (got my stuff sync’d and working no problem)

Cons:

• haven’t figured out the application limitations on the phone yet, but it seems like i can’t run more than 3 or 4 j2me apps at the same time (especially if all of them are trying to use the network)
• camera is great during the day…sucks at night and flash seems to make everything blue
• no good FREE all inclusive (aim, msn, yahoo, jabber) client. so far i’ve tried out
• trutap (no jabber)
• gizmo (no jabber)
• fring (ugly and missing some features)
• eqo mobile (nice, but i don’t like how every time i send a message it states what application i’m using and telling the other person to download it)
• palringo (can only get on jabber; aim, yahoo and msn dont seem to work)
• ebuddy (probably one of the best looking, but missing jabber…although it has gtalk, but i don’t use gtalk…and i can only log into one screen name per service at a time)
• nimbuzz (another good one that i probably use the most, but it randomly shuts down on me with no warning)
• would love sms threading (tired of having to go through txts from 2 or 3 days ago)
• i think thats it…

I’ll update with anything else I do find.
