6th January 2006
The Nokia 6103 is essentially a Bluetooth version of the Nokia 6101 announced early last year - a budget clamshell phone coming in at around 200 Euro/GBP140/USD240 before taxes and subsidy.
It's an attractive looking phone, but really the best thing about the Nokia 6103 is the price. Try to bear in mind that this is a good value budget phone before you read the rest of the story.
The bottom line is this - Nokia are awful at making clamshell devices, and simply warming over the Nokia 6101 isn't going to win hearts and minds. The 6101 looked old fashioned even last year - so the specification of the Nokia 6103 reminds us rather more of January 2004 than January 2006. Inside there's a 128x160 pixel TFT display with a smaller 4096 colour 96x65 pixel subdisplay on the outside, plus a VGA resolution camera with video capture capabilities. The 6103 has just 4.4Mb of internal memory to store pictures, clips, ringtones, Java games and other data. Talktime is pretty unimpressive at just 2-4 hours.
On the plus side, the Nokia 6103 comes with an FM radio and email client, in addition to a WAP browser. You can use MP3 files for ringtones, but there are no multimedia playback capabilities other than that.
