Nokia 6060 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: February 2006.
The 6060 is a mundane phone from Nokia, who still seem to have trouble getting
their flip phones up to the mark. A very basic phone, this one is overpriced
and has reliability issues too - not great for a phone with so few features.
If you're a Nokia fan looking for a basic clamshell-style phone this might appeal,
but we wouldn't really recommend it.
Everything about this phone is underwhelming, from the basic low-resolution
display to the very poor 16-voice polyphonic ringtones. The competition has
been offering 40-voice or better ringtones for years. Other negatives include
the small, fiddly keys and the below-average audio quality.
Looking on the positive side, the 6060 is a nice-sized clamshell. It's smart
(if you ignore the ugly external aerial) and has cool pulsating lights. Battery
life is good, the integrated handsfree speaker and voice commands are a bonus,
and there are a few extras such as email, a web browser and an expense manager
program.
Features of the Nokia 6060 include:
- Display: 65,536 colours, 160 x 128 pixels
- Integrated handsfree speaker
- Voice commands and voice dialing
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, Instant Messaging, email (SMTP,
POP3, and IMAP4)
- 16-voice polyphonic ringtones / MP3 ringtones
- Pulsating lights
- Java games
- Themes and wallpapers
- Date & time screensaver
- Phonebook (500 entries)
- Caller ID with image
- Personal organiser functions: calendar, notes, to-do-list, expense manager
- WAP 1.2.2, GPRS class 6
- xHTML browser
- Vibration alert
- Dual band
- Size: 85 x 44 x 24 mm
- Weight: 93g
- Talktime: 3.5 hours
- Battery standby: up to 400 hours

This phone is not a bad phone at all but my only problem is that it
doesn't have alot of memory. It only has about 3MB of memory that is
shared. All to that it is a good phone.

I bought this phone a week ago. It's cheap, it's great. Buy if if you
use your PHONE to make calls and send sms. No photos, no radio, non
bluetooth but.. who minds?

the people who have written bad things about this phone are very stupid,
i payed 99$ australian thats around $70 US and it came with $30 credit.
THE POINT TO THIS PHONE IS THAT IT ISNT MENT TO SOUND GOOD IT ISNT MENT
TO HAVE A HUGE LIST OF FEATURES ITS A REALLY CHEAP PHONE THEREFORE YOU
CANNOT ASK ANY MORE FROM IT!!. if you are unhappy with it then SUFFER@!,
it servs you right for buying such a cheap phone in the first place
have you ever heard the saying you get what you pay for? its like comparing
a mercedes to a hyundai, a sony to a radioshack, you get my drift its
a great phone and it does what it is ment to do, personaly its perfect
for me as i only use mobiles for SMS and phone calls. if i want to take
photos i have a 6 megapixel digital camera for that, if i want a decent
movie without large pixel blocks then i would use my digital video camera.
great phone, just because you have gone and payed for a new mobile doesnt
mean it will be state of the art, and when its only $70us then WTF are
you complaining about!!!?

Have found this a great little phone. HOWEVER, the audio quality is
terrible. I find it difficult to hear people when talking on the phone
& it is beginning to drive me nuts. Sometimes you can hear really well
& other times you can't hear a thing people are saying to you.

My 6060 is business standard so I had no choice. Nevertheless, it is
functional enough for my job BUT the ear audio is not loud enough for
me - I struggle to hear the caller. Cant find a control to increase
the sound, can someone advise me how to do this? I assume it is possible,
most mobiles do offer loudness control.

Simple and reliable phone for excellent price. Don't know what some
other reviewers do with it, but never had any problems since I bought
it 8 months ago. Flip works good, screen is fine. If you want to use
your own wallpaper / mp3-ring, upload it on the internet somewhere and
download it with your phone.

What is all this talk about the phone being unrealiable and crashing
all the time? I've owned this phone for 6 months now and never had any
problems with it. The review mentioned that it has only 16-voice poly
ringtones. Who needs them when you have mp3? Gotta be honest that the
mp3 quality isn't too good either but that's the case with all cell
phones. Can't give a bad rating for a fairly cheap phone for lacking
all different kinds of gadgets. One tech minus for me is the a lil bit
below the average sound quality. The other one as someone mentioned
the problems with downloadable applications, couldn't make some game
work even when it was supposed to be compatible with the phone. Configurable
menus really make it easy to use and the "small" keys just take a lil
while to get used to. Overall it's a very nice and good looking basic
flip phone for a comparable price. ****/*****

I got a good deal on this phone and I do not regret it. The phone is
beautiful and basic, but has some cool features. The only problem is
that sound quality could be better sometimes, or I still have to readapt.
Anyway, if you are looking for more than a phone, do not try this one.

I dont know what to say about this phone.. sure, it looks cute, but
it has let me down, where no other Nokia phones have before. I find
that it is almost impossible to turn the phone on or off, and, you almost
need to turn the phone around the wrong way to hear when on a call,
otherwise, you need to use "Speakerphone" and that is rude and still
bad quality anyway.

games onto it, but everytime it said 'Invalid application' and the standard
games are junk! all in all, buy a LG phone, you wont regret it!!

I have used the Panasonic x70 but lately it won't hold charge so have
decided to change phones. After a lot of consideration I decided to
go for the Nokia 6060 without actually seeing it and going frofm what
wasa written on it. Menat to get 50 text message free a month but ocntract
when received said 250 free for 6 months. That is false advertising
and its not even 50 per month. I don't like the maga large digits when
tyoing int eh phone number and over all I find the phone far too basic
and I do like an average phone with no too many aspects to it. On a
good note the Nokia 6060 is a good size and looks brilliant. Easy to
navigate and a great phone for htose who feel intimidated with too many
fancy options. I have had this phone for just enough time to decide
it is definately going back. My son has the Nokia K750i so will have
a look at his before deciding to get that one or not. As i find the
phone average rather than good I have given it only 2 stars.

I have had many Nokia handsets, ranging from the rather basic 3310 up
to the Nokia communicator 9500. I recently purchased the 6060 for my
daughter guundip, she loves the stylish sleek sexy lines this phone
offers. She does not use bluetooth and she is clinically visully impaired,
so finds the large keys easy to locate. She also suffers from tinitus
and has found the sound quality to be second to none. I would like to
thank Nokia for making her life a little bit better! God Bless. Mr.
