    "Quite nearly the first perfect phone. Could almost replace your laptop computer!"

    by firedogee on November 6, 2006

    Pros: Completely customizable menus and intuitive user functions, beautiful displays, all the functions you could want - throw away your other devices!

    Cons: Poor battery life (only thing preventing this phone from a perfect score)

    Summary: Finally, a phone that makes sense in almost every way. The keypad is perfect, soft to the touch and well-spaced buttons. The external charger, buttons, and hands-free inputs are perfectly layed out.

    First order of businesss, don't let the push-button flip turn you off, it's actually quite useful for one-handed opening.

    The 6133 does everything it should as a solid cellular phone. Inlcludes voice-activated dialing and clear speakerphone. Almost every button is customizable along with the user interface and menus for unlimited personalization.

    Also eliminates your other devices with it's MP3 player (also plays .AAC and .WMA), FM radio with 20 presets, 1.3mp camera, camcorder, stunningly useful calendar with recurring birthday and reminder alarms, also has a To-Do list feature.

    I was able to get rid of my MP3 player and Palm organizer. The microSD memory card slot has been put to the test and it is so easy to access files from the card. You can even use MP3 ringtones if the file is small enough.

    The included STEREO headset is ingenious. No more earpieces slipping out due to a bulky microphone boom, this baby loops around your neck in sleek style and comfort. Plus they sound great. Thanks to separate ports, you can charge and talk on the handfree at the same time...something Samsung has decided is nolonger important!?!

    Aesthetically the phone is nearly flawless. It has a flat black "soft" paint finish, shiny chrome accents, with a slight under-bite that is very stylish. The only change I might suggest is raising the exterior volume slider slightly more. It can be hard to find while on a call.

    Though the battery life is suspect, I have turned on the power saving functions, eliminated screen savers, and made a few other tweaks to extend it's life a bit.

    Thank you Nokia for answering my quest for a T-mobile phone that has it all, at a low low price. No other T-mobile phone comes close to this baby. I highly recommend you give it a try.

    The bad news: you can play MP3 files on the media player, but NOT as ringtones.

    The good news: you can however, use .AAP or .WMA files of any size as ringtones, even if they are stored on your MicroSD card.

    The pro's and con's i pretty much agree with. Although some con's are pretty petty. ITS A PHONE!! But has anyone noticed how poor the volume is..? I have it set at ten ond it's still difficult to hear people. I had to buy a bluetooth. But do a comparrison on phonesccop.com side by sied with other phones...this Nokia 6133 holds it's own.
