Nokia - 6030 Cell Phone —
I bought the Nokia 6030 from T-Mobile to use on their T-Mobile to Go pre-paid service. It's backup phone to my aging but still full-featured primary phone. All I really wanted was something on which I couid make and receive calls occasionally. In that respect, this is an excellent phone for doing just that.There are actually quite a few features in this phone that I've never really used, but might come in hand sometime: a pinball game, alarm clock, calendar, to-do-list, note pad, calculator, stopwatch, and a timer. It even has an FM radio. To use it, you have to plug in the included wired earphone. Then you can listen through the earphone or turn on the phone's speaker.
Despite the fact that this is not a flip-phone, or clamshell, design, it's still very small and doesn't take up much room in my pocket. However, the size is actually a bit of a drawback. In order to keep the phone small and simple, Nokia put only few buttons on the phone. There aren't any volume control buttons, for example. So, whereas other phones might have a dedicated button for a certain feature, with the 6030 you have to go into the menu system.
And that brings me to another complaint. The buttons are tiny. For a guy like me with big fingers, I have to use my fingernail to dial a number or navigate through the menus. Storing phone numbers in the phone's phonebook, however, alleviates part of that problem.
All in all, the phone suits my purposes pretty well. And it's cheap. I got mine for $30 which included $35 in airtime.
