Nokia 2100 Review – Unlock Nokia Mobile

Nokia 2100 Review

from

Nokia 2100 is a compact featherweight. Its dimensions and weight comply with the unwritten standard of an up-to-date budget phone. It's smaller and lighter than one of the most popular inexpensive solutions - Siemens C45. Only Sony Ericsson T100 have these parameters better.

Nokia 2100 utilizes some propriety solutions. The company offers personilized covers to stress your style. You can remove the front and back panels, and the keypad. The panels do no embrace the phone entirely, but only its front, back, top and bottom, while the sides make a single whole with the base unit. In our model the base is light gray (it seems that all production samples will have this color), the covers are made of blue semitransparent matte plastic, and the keypad is rubber with a while pearl surface. The covers and side panels are pleasant by touch, but the keys are a bit sticky when you touch them with wet fingers.

The front panel catches on the basic unit with two pairs of protrusions. The back side attaches to the front one with the same juts underneath, and with a latch above. Thus, the removable covers embrace the base unit and additionally hook to it in the center. The hooks are quite tight though they don't turn assembling into a torture. The design has no backlash (though it crackles a little when compressed in a hand) and is not going to loosen with time because you clamp mostly the side panels. The design seems to be quite reliable.

There's a photo-insert on the back covered with transparent plastic where you can keep a picture or a photo. This is one of the most popular design features today.

Nokia 2100 comes with a Li-Ion battery BLD-3. It sits in a socket and is fixed just with spring pins and the phone's back panel which is covered with rubber inside. A SIM card's slot is plain coupled with a fixed clamping strap. A SIM card can be taken out of its slot even if the battery is in its place. It's not the best solution, - they should think of a more reliable foolproof design which wouldn't let the card out without turning power off. The slot design and battery compartment also look reliable

The keypad consists of a digital unit, a two-way scroller, a couple of soft keys, and call and off buttons. Digital keys are united in solid rows, but a good distance between the contact pads and soft rubber prevent accidental strokes and let you even work blindly. The On/Profile button is traditionally above; it is small and tight but easy to press.

The display of Nokia 2100 is monochrome, sharp and contrast with even light blue backlight of average brightness. The background doesn't look grainy, and light and dark areas are uniform. The keypad is backlight white; the light goes through semitransparent material and makes the symbols well seen in any conditions.
