I've been thinking about getting this and last week, had a look at it in a 3 store.

It's quite slim but the keys and font size are quite small.

I don't know if it's got a built-in speaker.

I was worried the phone would be too 'loaded' for me because it's a proper smartphone.

A phone with many functions that are found on a PC - such as Windows Media Player and Microsoft Office programs.

Probably a bit too loaded for the average user - mainly for business people.

Sorry - it's not Microsoft Office (it's Quickoffice).

You can view Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.

There's also Adobe Reader for viewing PDF files.

I haven't got any need to view Office docs on the move.

Here's some more info and a picture:

"The 6120 is a Symbian S60 3rd Edition FP1 smartphone, so it can run Symbian S60 3rd Edition applications and games. As with all S60 models, it's multitasking so you can run lots of applications at once, and switch between them by holding down the menu button. There's 20 megabytes free RAM for running apps and games, and 35 megabytes internal flash memory for storage. Applications and data can also be stored on microSD memory cards, so the flash memory can be expanded to 2 gigabytes. The 6120 Classic's central processor runs at 369 mhz, and the menu system and applications run pretty quickly and smoothly, far faster than older S60s which ran at just 200 mhz or even 100 mhz."

Argh! The 6120 is a GREAT little phone, even if you DECIDE NOT TO USE THE EXTRA FEATURES!

You don't have to. Just because a phone has extra features doesn't mean you to HAVE to use them. Is a Sony Walkman phone bad because it has Walkmany gumph that some people may never use?
