Review

The Nokia 3120 is a compact and basic phone with a smart metallic finish and a conventional design. There's no camera on the 3120 altough there is an option to attach Nokia's "fun camera" if you want to take pics. The display is a passive matrix display that isn't easy to read in sunlight and has just 4096 colours, although that's all you can realistically expect at this price point. The handsfree speaker is a welcome touch, and the battery life is good. One fun feature is that the backlight flashes rythmically when the phone rings.This is an acceptable entry-level phone, but quite cheap and flimsy-looking. The keypad is conventional, but not as easy to use as it could be. Not the best entry-level phone.
