With 4096 colours, 128x128 pixels, the Nokia 3120 has a very rich colour display and with its beautifully contoured body, it?s sure to win your heart, soul and well, a lot of envious admirers. If anyone has ever used a Nokia 6610, then they would be very familiar with the 3120. With a price tag of about Rs 6850 in the gray market, it?s a bit expensive but the features it boasts of are well worth the money spent. The 3120 is provided with Polyphonic ringtones with the ability to easily download more.
The 3120 has a lot of interesting features such as a Stereo FM Radio, Thermometer, Portfolio Manager, Currency and measurement converter to name a few. The 3120 belongs to the latest genre of mobile phones and is Java Capable.
It?s provided with Java applications, Java games and more Java applications and games can be downloaded from the net. It is also MMS enabled meaning that you have access to the multimedia rich messaging and you can sms and thrill your friends with messages attached with pictures, animations, midi audio files and graphics. You could also chat with sms chat compatible phones.
The phone is slim and at 84 gm and dimensions measuring 106x45x18mm, its very light weight and easy to hold. It could be safe to state that the layout of the Keypad is the best around and very comfortable to use. The Keypad is also provided with a very thoughtfully planned 4-way Scroll button further enhancing the looks and use. The ability to change the colours of the phone with changeable X-press On covers, which of late has become a standard feature of almost all Nokia phones, provided the user with a new look every time.
The 3120 has a good battery life with about 150-300 hours of Standby time and 4-6 hours of Talk time enough to last out a good, long trip. The Voice clarity too is very good and I was able to receive the signals even in the cellar of a shopping complex.
I have found the Hands free Speaker to be very good and useful. The Phone book provided in the 3120 is very large with the ability to store 300 names. The 3120 has the convenience to be connected to a PC through the Infra Red Port. I was able to download colourful wallpapers, backgrounds, ringtones, animations and Java games very easily into the phone. Using software such as LogoManager, I could very easily create my own logos and operator logos and download them into the 3120 through a PC.
All in all, the 3120 is a beautiful and feature rich phone provided you can shell out the price without a second thought. And another factor to consider is that if you could pay about Rs 6850 for this phone, then you could easily dare a little bit and go for the Nokia 6610i which is available for about Rs 10500 and comes with a digital camera too and looks more beautiful.
If you can really afford any of these phones, then go for it. But, remember, mobile phones these days become obsolete very soon and you don?t curse yourself to find that there?s a new model in the market as soon as you have shelled out an exorbitant price for this. But, at least with this babe in your hand, you can be sure of all those admiring glances directed towards you and that funky mobile in your hand. Happy mobiling!!!
