If music isn't your thing and you prefer photography, the 6120 comes with a 2-megapixel camera with LED photo light. Relative to other camera phones, such as the Sony Ericsson K810i, the 6120's camera isn't great, but it's fine for MMS messages.

The 2-megapixelc camera on the back comes with an LED photo light but no auto-focus

A noteworthy camera feature is the panorama mode, which lets you take a succession of photos to create a larger panoramic image.

Performance
Audio quality during calls is good, with no noticeable distortions or muffling. The loudspeaker sounds loud and clear, particularly because it's on the side of the phone.

The picture quality from the camera was as expected from a 2-megapixel sensor and didn't look very clear at full size, but was perfectly good for MMS messages and mementos.

The HSDPA connectivity worked fine, reaching speeds of up to 1.8Mbps, which meant downloads didn't take too long and browsing the Web was fast.

Conclusion
The Nokia 6120 Classic is an attractive 3G handset that comes with a few useful features -- the HSDPA connectivity, music player and expandable microSD slot are particularly useful. While you might not find the camera all that great, the rest of the phone is well designed and easy to use.

If you're looking for a handset that packs a little more punch in the camera department then it's worth checking out the Sony Ericsson K800i or K810i. Alternatively, if you're not that bothered about a camera or 3G connectivity but you want a Nokia device, then the Nokia 6300 is the phone for you.
