As with the other handsets in its Classic range, the 6124 references traditional Nokia aesthetics in its appearance but houses 3G smart phone capabilities and mid-range multimedia features.
Cnet calls the 6124’s black candybar casing “stylish,” but raises questions about the phone’s durability, saying the keypad is flimsy and the handset “emanates more heat than normal.” Mobile-phones-uk.org.uk notes that the 6124 is one of the smallest and lightest smart phones available, “and probably the easiest to use.” The two inch screen divides opinion, with Cnet finding it too small for effective web use, while Mobile-phones.co.uk thought it “better than you’dthink.
Though it lacks more high-end connectivity such as Wi-Fi and GPS, the 6124 Classic offers HSDPA data speeds, which Mobile-phones.co.uk welcomed for its impact on web browsing and Cnet found improved call quality.
Elsewhere, the 6124’s 2-megapixel camera “comes with a good flash,” according to Mobile-phones.co.uk. Cnet liked its panorama mode, but felt that image quality was “average”, providing grainy indoor shots.
Cnet was, however, impressed with the music player’s range of higher-end features, including support for album art and a graphic equaliser. Mobile-phones.co.uk was also pleased to note the 6124’s support for MicroSD cards of up to 8GB.

The verdict on the 6124 is that it’s a solid entry-level smart phone but doesn’t provide anything exceptional. Its 3G connectivity is marred by its small screen and poor battery life and, other than a reasonable music player, its features are middle-of-the-road.
