Verified19 reviews
Good – This is a very simple, easy to use phone. I've dropped mine a few times, and it's still working fine. The type pad is so easy to use and text on. Volume is great when in calls, and it's easy to turn on speaker. It is a bit outdated now without a camera or bluetooth, but it's perfect for people who can't be bothered with all of those fancy… Read more
features. Compact and very easy to use, battery life is very long, speakerphone is clear. The 'on' button on the top of the phone gets damages easily from turning it off and on.
Good – When I first got the phone, I unknowningly was connecting to the Internet which was expensive. After phoning up Optus, they disconnected the phone from the Internet and that's saved me from making similar mistakes. I really only wanted a basic phone for the occasional phone call and some texting, and was really confused as to the quality… Read more · 1
between cheap phones and the expensive ones. I was told that the basic phones had cheaper parts and that this phone had a stronger build. I really didn't want all the fancy options on this phone, but bought it as it connected to the 3G network. Next time I buy a mobile phone I will probably buy a Nokia that connects to Telstra Next G. (At the time of me buying this phone, Nokia didn't have a phone that connected to Telstra Next G.)
Earlier this year I dropped the phone and a part fell out of the back of it. I went to a Nokia repair centre which quickly fixed it, and I've had no further problems with it. I like this phone as it connects to the 3G network, which is why I bought it. The phone has been reliable. This was my first mobile phone, and I found it really difficult to learn how to use, but I would have found any new mobile phone challenging. However, after two weeks I got used to its complexity, and after 18 months I'm still learning new things about it.
Good – Easy to use, and is a reliable phone that will last the distance. Has pretty good coverage. This phone was cheap to purchase and has served well over the years. A hard working phone that works fine and is very affordable. While this mobile phone is not packed with many features compared to the more modern phones out there today, it is a good… Read more
compact type designed phone that does the job and is very simple and easy to use. I prefer to have a phone that is not going to have too many gadgets on it and this one fits the bill. There are none.
Good – These are definitely an older type of mobile phone these days but I had one as part of a pre paid plan and it really was a great phone. The coverage was pretty reliable and it was easy to fit in my pocket and felt like it was made well. Well worth it. A good basic phone that is cheap to use and is reliable. Hard working and has quite a few… Read more
features for a very basic phone. This phone will last for some time. It does not look as stylish as many modern phones these days, but there are no other cons.
Good – Great phone, typically used by large organisations who give their staff entry level lost cost phones, but reliable and relatively easy to fix should things go wrong. Batterys and covers are also easy to come by for this model given how saturated the market is. Great phone for the average user. The Nokia 3120 is a fantastic low end phone for the… Read more
user who does not want a camera, and just wants something they can send/receive a phone call, and sms on. The phone has features such as calculator, calendar, alarms etc. Screen can be hard to see in the sun light.
Good – The design of the phone feels very solid and can take a few knocks without skipping a beat. As an older model, it lacks many of the features commonly found on today's phones. However, for basic phone functions, it is very reliable, performs well and is easy to use. It only has a basic VGA resolution camera, but it was designed to be a simple… Read more
phone so this is not an issue. It is a basic phone, but the most important thing is that it is reliable, well built and does the important things well. Classic, compact design. Good build quality. Reliable performance. Older style model
Excellent – I wanted a phone that was just a SIMPLE PHONE without all the 'bells & whistles' and I could hear it from a distance. This is it. I love it. Its been dropped on concrete a few times, in the last few years. No worries, it just keeps on working. Excellent battery life. I have to check every week to see if it needs charging. That is good… Read more
considering my wife yaps on it for over half an hour minimum a day.
Good basic programs simple to access and setup or change. Simple, always works, over a week battery life, plastic front scratches
Good – I bought this phone as a simple upgrade from a more basic Nokia as it was one of the first ones you could attach a camera. I loved it at the time. Nokia menu system is so easy. Keypad is great. Sound is great. Nothing really. I go through a lot of phones and found this one really good.
Good – Very nice phone with good battery backup. Have used it almost for 2-3 years. Has always proven to be a durable handset. naMan Excellent phone. Love its keypad. No other phone from nokia has a stylish and elegant keypad like this one. After a year or so the phones outer body gets scratched up, which looks really annoying.
OK – Had this phone quite a while and it has very basic functions. The Nokia's menu is easy to move about and nevigate. The cover is made of cheap plastic which is why the phone is cheap. It is disappointing that the resolution screen is not great compared to a sumsung mobile of the same age. The main major problem with this phone is the key pad… Read more
numbers do wear off after some time of heave usage, especially if you like to sms a lot. A replacement cover with key pad may be the solution to that issue. cheap low resolution screen. Not worth repairing
OK – A good phone for its time. If you are looking for a very basic phone you could get a cheap deal on this. If you want anything above basic stay clear. I have had mine for some years now and even took it overseas where I did not have any network trouble. The phone looks great and is very easy to navigate. The battery lasted a good amount of time I… Read more
found, about four or five days. This is longer than my new phone that has a large screen and needs recharging ever couple of days. The phone is old in today's market and does not have any features other than making phone calls and sms. It does have mms but the screen is such a low resolution that it is useless.
OK – Life is too short to spend it driving a crappy car or owning a crappy mobile. This Nokia is borderline not crappy. The thing that scrapes it through is its Nokia simplicity and reliability and great user interface. The fact that Nokia have a standard charger that can be used on all their phones is one of the best things about them. Our phone had a… Read more
very poor and hard to see screen barely good for numbers and definitely not suited to any form of graphics. It was very tough and was dropped on a few occasions with no ill effects. . Reliable, great sound quality, good button spacing, great battery life, very tough and durable, great interface, useability, same charger for all Horrible screen, no features to speak of
OK – for a simple phone and sms functionality it's all you will need Light, compact, great battery life, simple easy to use menu structure. Lacking some popular features such as Camera and mp3 players

Know better, choose better.
Good – overall I think its a great deal and low cost Its up to date with the lates phones,it has all the exter that phones have and would come into good use,its a good size and low in cost. Theres noting bad about this phone
OK – It is ok for someone who would like a basic, easy to use, with no flare phone. It is a basic phone. Small, easy to use. It doesn't have any "unf" to it. It is not fun to use and you can not see the screen when it is not in use. Very dark.
OK – if your after a basic allrounder, this will do. small, pretty nothing bad about it, but has no major features.
Bad – A good little phone all round for something simple. Light weight for carrying around. Decent amount of tones to choose from including for messages. Would be nice to change the covers for something different once and a while. It's small and light weight. It has many settings and tones to use. Can't change the covers or have one for clipping onto pocket or belt. Signal terrible in shops.
Good – Great. Best value for money when I went shopping. Has a classy, non-plasticy look about it, easy to use, can use old chargers just like other nokias can, can send TO internet email addresses, has a speakerphone - this is good for long conversations because my ear tends to get sore from mobile phone use. The speaker phone doesn't have an adjustable volume, so if it's a little noisy environment, you can't use it.
Excellent – good at everything a phone needs to be sound reception value for money and much more great phone, good reception and sound quality
