The Nokia 6210 is brilliant, The battery life is good, the ease of use is great! I constantly transfer data via a Sync cable to the desktop PC an Infared to the laptop. I use the Sony Ericsson HBH-200 Bluetooth headset which is small enough to get into a crash helmet - yes it gets used on a motorbike! Handsfree options offer auto answer and voice activation.

The Nokia 6210 was a pretty standard mobile phone by nokia, but with the extra of infrared and wap. i dropped it loads and it never had a single fault.
im on my 4th phone now, the 6210 was my 2nd phone, and i still find myself going "i miss my 6210" "the 6210 was a good phone". i gave it to my mum to stick her PAYG sim card in, because her old phone was a brick. its a shame my mum got it stolen when she went abroad :-( my dads got the updated version, 6310i or something, thats good too!

Used this Nokia 6210 handset for its third year now, and tried and tested a few more mobile phones since then, but have always reverted back to this faithful old friend. Useful for my laptop modem connection. For a business person, it's perfect, easy and quick to use - no fiddly menus to scroll through, or hidden buttons to accidentally press. Bought one new battery this year (slim) and it's like brand new again. Very professional phone - can't find another to beat it...yet (read more)

The Nokia 6210 is a classic Nokia phone with a slim style and an ease of use that rivals models with far less features than than this.
Its ability to store over 150 messages means that you only ever have to erase them at very irregular intervals compared to a lot of other models which get to about 20 and tell you its full.
On the down side (as we all know) it does have a tendancy to turn itself off occasionally but who really doesn't have 30 seconds to turn this highly reliable phone back on.

Having used my Nokia 6210 for almost 3 years I have generally been very happy with it, the most irritating issue being it's propensity to turn itself off from time to time (seems to be a well known failing of this model from the look of other reviews). Now a little heavier than newer colour screen models, but overall I would rate this handset at the top of the list of all the mobiles I have had over the past 10 years or so. Especially good for business use, but now lacks some of the... (read more)

The 6210 would be my dream phone but for its habitual turning itself off. I have tried cleaning the contacts, wedging various things into the battery compartment, tapping it on my hand- nothing seems to solve the problem. There is no pattern whatsoever to it either, I have dropped it several times and it has been fine, yet sometimes a slight movement of the hand whilst you are holding it is enough to switch it off.

A good all-round phone with sensible, business-like styling and an impressive set of features. I've dropped it down the stairs, out of my hand onto a concrete driveway, and generally thrown it around in daily use. It's on its third fascia (just to keep it smart) and is over 2 years old, but is still going strong. My only niggles are as follows:
1. The ear speaker occasionally goes on the blink, but this is resolved by a gentle tap! I think this has more to do with me taking the phone...

As with all the other company-supplied Nokia 'phones I've had, this Nokia 6210 has started to go bad after about a year. Typically starts with some of the keys having extra-long travel and an audible "clunk" on being pressed - followed by: switching itself off at intervals. Expect (by the history) to have the display start to disappear soon (though a tap on the hand will restore it for a month or two). Eventually just a piece of 12-18 month old junk (and not from misuse!). (read more)

Ha ha. I often rate a phone's quality by the option to change the facia, you'd think the ability to receive calls would matter really. Doesn't seem particularly slow to me but I'm not into phones like that. No composer (or composser, or should that have been no composter) eh? I think a world without one extra rubbish tune composed by some tone deaf litle boy is a better world. Ho ho.

Try cleaning the contacts on the battery, for some reason they get bad over time.
Written on: 12/08/2002
I've experienced similar problems with my phone switching itself off, generally whilst it's been in my pocket ... rather annoying when you realise you've missed important calls because of this. I would say the problem is most to do with the battery connection ... whether the contacts need cleaning I could not say but it seem to me that my battery appeared loose, so I wedged some thing card in the locking slots and the phone hasn't switched itself off since.
Written on: 10/09/2002
My phone used to have the same problem. I have "fixed" it by cutting a business card to size and securing it with two small pieces of tape to the back of the phone with the battery removed. Do not cover the contacts. Put the battery back on. I have never had a problem since. This also has the advantage that if you lose it, it can be traced back to you!

there is a fix for the problem of no signal but this only works if you don't use the phone in car kit. At the base of the external ariel connector there are two solder points - if you connect these points with a thin piece of wire then 'no signal' should become a thing of the past. But be careful when soldering in this area, any mistake will render the phone completey useless..
