I got the 6101 as my first cell phone and I have to say that it's a pretty cool. The functions of the phone are great, it's easy to use and has plenty of customisable features to play with. The camera is excellent for a cell phone and deals with low light situations easily. The case looks real cool, the buttons work well, and the phone has a strong vibrate feature. The outside screen is nice and big, good for caller ID. Having the ability to put one wallpaper on the main screen and another on the outside screen is also a plus. Overall the phone works well and is nice to have.There are some major problems to the phone, the ear piece being one. The phone has one tiny hole as the ear piece so you have to keep the phone in one position on your face to hear anybody speaking. The phone slips easily so you have to watch where you put it.The main problem the phone has is it's durability. Within less than a month, the phone had started to degrade. The battery came loose easily and I would repeatedly find my phone randomly off after being in my pocket. I also noticed that the top part (screen) of the phone had started to wiggle a litte. All these things I put off as little annoyances and decided to keep the phone. I lived peacefully and happily with the 6101 until one day I pulled it out of my pocket to make a phone call and the found that the front screen on the phone had cracked in half with no provocation at all. The next day I took the phone in and upgraded to the V3 Razr and I'm happy to say that the phone is just better. There was a significant loss of camera quality between the Razr and the 6101, but that's a worthy loss to not have your phone fall apart in your pocket.The 6101 is a cool little phone and works well, it just falls apart without reason. Go for the Razr or something else.
