Nokia - 6010 Cell Phone Review

For people who prefer a prepaid plan or an emergency phone, and don't use cell phones in the expanded scope as they've become, the Nokia 6010 is one of the best phones available.  It is simple to use, lightweight, has a long battery life, and with T-Mobile prepaid service (at 10 cents a minute or per text), it has lasted my parents for years.  Yes, years.

If you're looking for web access, unlimited txting, a camera, and a smartphone or flip phone, the Nokia 6010 isn't the right phone for you.  It's web access is very limited, mainly to check your account balance and small range of games or ringtones you can download.  Txting isn't the easiest, though it uses the same alpha-numeric keys as most flip phones without a QWERTY keyboard.  And it doesn't have a camera.  But for my parents who are more for simple technology and use cell phones only for emergencies and not to keep in contact with other family members, friends, or work, the Nokia 6010 is cheap and effective.  Why waste money on a contract and expensive phone if they use less than 1000 minutes in a year?
