Nokia 3120 Classic Review

Author: Caroline Telford

Somehow, in a world where mobile phones continuously seem to aspire to become everything possible, from camera and music player, to internet portal and games console, the Nokia 3120 Classic somehow survives.

Perhaps mobile phone users are realising that with their previous mobile phones they only ended up using a tenth of the features that it possessed, or maybe they simply don't want to spend the better part of their monthly pay on a mobile phone. Whatever the case, the Nokia 3120 Classic offers an inexpensive, yet functional, option that is a little more than the average minimalist phone.

Features of the Nokia 3120
Classic Minimalist phones tend to change as time goes by, technology alters, and the very idea of what is minimalist morphs along with it. Was a time that the idea of a camera on a mobile phone was definitely not entry level, yet today every entry level phone, for the most part, has one.

So therefore it is of little surprise that with the Nokia 3120 Classic, 3G finally meets the minimalist entry level mobile phone. Truth is, this mobile phone isn't much of a slouch. With a 2 inch 16 million colour QVGA display, it is even rather attractive. Add to that the 2 megapixel camera that is sports and it actually seems more decent.

Admittedly without autofocus and at only 2 megapixels the image quality isn't exactly photography studio type, however it does get by and is really enough for most practical purposes. As for storage, with microSD capabilities, there is little, or no, problem as the Nokia 3120 Classic supports up to 8 GB of memory.

The finishing touch, and crowning glory of the Nokia 3120 Classic is its 3G support. By enabling this little wonder to facilitate video calls and other 3G features, Nokia automatically elevated it up a notch compared to competition. With the entry of 3G into the entry level market, small pun intended, phones of this nature offer up the basic 3G features in affordable packages.

New Age of Entry Level Mobile Phones
While it may be a bit premature to herald a new age of entry level mobile phones, as the Nokia 3120 Classic is priced a slight bit higher than other mobile phone deals, it certainly does seem to signify that 3G will be the next small step forward as far as that market is concerned. At least, Nokia seem to think so, and they've gotten many things right in the past.

For any current user or prospective user, the Nokia 3120 Classic is an elegant little phone that can offer up some great features with its 3G and 2.0 megapixel camera, but at the same time remain affordable.

Time will tell as to whether other mobile phones similarly emulate the Nokia 3120 Classic, yet for now it remains distinguishable from competition, and a step ahead in terms of vision. At this rate, entry level mobile phones may end up having 5.0 megapixel cameras attached in no time.
