Summary: MY Phone.....
Review: I was activating a new line for my son, and this caught my eye. It was $20, and I was like I can do that! It's a cute little phone, at $20 It came with an ear piece, and a battery and has proven that it is DURABLE....

It comes with customized ring tones. Of course mine change often currently I hear, "I CARE 4 U"

Voice command comes in handy in the sleek traffic, seeing that I suffer from road rage I need my hands to be free for other gestures.

I love the phone book all of my entries have multiple numbers so it's great not to have to put the person in and have the same name pop up here here and there.***Borders is in my directory***

The internet access, organizer, and games are also put to use very often....

I like gadgets as much as the next person, but I'm a "T-A-L-K-E-R" so a phone that takes pics and all that wasn't "A MUST HAVE" in regards to me. Now maybe I'll upgrade for a sidekick in the future.

Summary: Very Good Phone
Review: My mom and brother had had there old cellular phones for over three years, and decided they needed to change phones. Me on the other hand, had been using a pay-as-you-go phone that wasn't working for me. My brother (being the tech whiz in the family) was looking at this phone on Tmobile.com. At that point it was free after rebates, so we got it. I like the look, and it has really nice features. I would probably prefer a flip phone, but this one works just as well. I wrote this review after having the phone for 6 months and reading the reviews of others. I would say most people are right the reception is clear, the battery lasts a very long time, and it has excellent features. The cons, if any, for my mom is that she has a hard time putting on the key guard, which is true like most nokia phones. all-in-all this is a very good choice for a phone, and T-mobile is a great service provider.

Summary: Good Enough For Basic Cell Phone Needs
Review: The "Nokia 6010M Phone (T-Mobile)" phone came free with signing up to T-Mobile. Did I get what I paid for? Yes and no.

Having paid nothing directly, it could look like the perfect purchase. After two months of heavy use, my complaints are few. However, so are my compliments.

My opinion of T-Mobile's phone service is unrelated, and will take more than two months to assess.

Watching commercials for cell phones helps me see what this phone does not have, but what matters it what it does have. I don't mind not downloading sounds, or not taking pictures. I'll bring a camera if I want to capture the moment of film, and get better quality pictures.

It is a simple phone, with a simple interface. I need to call people, and I can. I need to store contact information, and I can. I can change the ringer and speaker volume. I can send text messages. I can play a few silly, and eventually boring games.

I can instant message as well, but never do. This might be my generation speaking here. I'm in my late-30s, and do not feel the need to chat this way. I IM through Yahoo and AOL comfortably, but to do so on a cell phone seems cumbersome.

Features that Need Work:

*Better Reception
I occasionally am in buildings, standing next to a window, and cannot receive calls. I don't know if this is a service provider, or electronics issue. Either way, it is frustrating, and the most important complaint of mine.

* Call Duration
When I make or receive a call, it lists the number, with the related contact name if one exists. It also shows the time the call was made. That's great. What is missing is the duration of that call. Since I have a finite number of minutes each month, and since the minutes updates usually lag a few hours, it would help me know. Some quick math would let me know if I am close to going over.

* Game Accuracy
This is a minor point, since I am not a video gamer. The bowling game which comes with is moderately entertaining, but it is inconsistent in scoring. Let's say you bowl a strike. It seems reasonable that if you repeat the exact effort, you should bowl another. You might. What you will not do is bowl a third strike. Try another proven strike method after the second strike, and expect at least one pin standing. No third strike means no turkey, and no perfect game.

* Better Quality Earpiece
This is the device intended for use while driving. It doesn't stick well in the ear. It often falls out when I lean my head.

In all, I am satisfied. I am not thrilled, but know my cell phone is good enough. For just their (and Nokia's) cell phone specifically, this is fine for my needs.
