Someone in my family lost their cell phone on the bus (to protect the guilty, I remain silent) and needed a replacement phone. We decided on the Nokia 6010 basically because of cost concerns. The phone was in our price range. Here are some first impressions on the phone:Form Factor: This is yet another 'candy bar' phone. It is oblong in shape and has no cover. The buttons are flush-flat and are backlit with a soft glow when any button is touched or a phone call is coming in. The unit is slimmer in design then it's other low cost cousins and is made out of plastic. The phone is slippery and will need a phone cover for the butter fingered.Reception: Pretty good. The sensitivity is a little bit better than average.Sound Quality: Odd. When we were testing this phone out, the caller receiving the call at the other end mentioned that the Nokia's broadcast sounded like somebody talking inside of a tunnel. Lots of echo. Strange.Display: Passing. The screen is bright enough to see in moderate to bright light. The images look a little chunky and the color could be more saturated. But overall, not bad.Ring Tones: Comes with a good variety of ringtones. This model has polyphonic sounding ringtones. This is a fancy way of saying that the sounds are stereo-like and quite full. Pretty entertaining.Navigation: If you have used a Nokia before, you will adjust to the menu system without too much trouble. However, newcomers will find the menus/submenus a bit daunting and non-logical. Read the manual for help. The Nokia menus allow you to enter new phone numbers, activate 1-touch dialing, set ring tones and volume, play games, set a screen image, etc.Overall Impression: Pretty nice basic phone. I rate this phone about a 4.
