This phone is the worst I have used. when it is ringing and you push the button to awnser you sometimes have to push it 1 or 2 more times, one would think it is a bad button, But it always works when its in the phone book or navigating through the phone. SLOW... From the main screen, push menu button, One second later the screen changes. Buttons suck to

Upgraded through Cingular from the 3120, an earlier but similar bar phone. Sound quality seems better than the 3120. Very sensitive. The black finish is a fingerprint magnet. This is a very basic phone. If you like small bar phones and just want to make and receive calls, it's hard to beat. I noticed some negative comments elsewhere about adjusting earpiece volume on received calls, and the lack of documentation. Many have said the "right-left navigation key" method only works during the call, then the volume reverts to the default when you hang up. Here's how to _permanently_ adjust earpiece volume for received calls. This works on a 6030 purchesed in April, 2007 direct from Cingular: 1. Call something with a recorded message long enough to give you a chance to fiddle around. For example, the Montana Department of Transportation, 1-800-226-7623. 2. Once you've connected and the message is playing, switch to loudspeaker (after first backing away!). 3. Press right arrow navigation key, and you'll get a volume bar chart display. 4. Use right and left navigation keys to raise and lower volume. 5. WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF THAT SCREEN, push the red button to end the call 6. The earpiece volume thereafter seems to stay set at the volume you have chosen.

I got this phone because it was the simplest phone Cingular offered. No camera, no fancy internet, and because I've always had a good history with Nokia phones. Screen. Very bright, and default screensaves are included. You can also use your own JPG or GIF images that can be downloaded to your phone through MMS messages. Keypad. A bit small, but my fingers don't have a problem finding the buttons. I've had this phone for about a year and the markings are still clear. The only thing that's rubbed off is the 'Cingular' logo. Sound. The phone can get nice and loud, however when the loudspeaker is being used, voice quality degrades as volume increases. Volume Control. This was the hardest part of the phone to figure out. The right and left buttons at the center of the phone adjust the volume, but only while you're actually on a call with someone. This is where I wish Cingular had left the two buttons on the side of the phone, which could be adjusted while speaking. Ringtones. I've been able to play MIDI ringtones, but I don't think this phone can play MP3 ringtons. Sturdiness. I've dropped my phone on the pavement several times, and it's still fine. Overall, I'm very pleased with the phone. This is only because of its simplicity in features. All I need my phone to do is send and receive phone calls. If you need something to function as a PDA, camera, or be as thin as the RAZR, I wouldn't get this phone.
