Been gone for awhile, and figure it was time for an update
In 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.
“palringo (can only get on jabber; aim, yahoo and msn dont seem to work)”
Works really well on my phone with AIM, Yahoo and MSN so you should give it another go. It’s a lifesaver!
