Great phone, but not for gimmick addicts or 12 year olds !
If you want a phone to make your friends (and muggers) jealous, thin enough to snap in you pocket that you can play chip-monk style MP3s out loud on public transport, or take "funky" or "wacky" (read "blurry" and "dark") photos of your mates with a top battery life of 3 days if you don't make any calls then please look elsewhere.

Positives; The phone does everything a phone should and nothing it shouldn't. SIM free for less than 70 quid, tri-band, Bluetooth, e-mail (from my existing POP3 account), mobile Web browser, calendar/address/task sync with Outlook (using the free tool from the Nokia site). So far I've had zero crashes, excellent battery life, rock solid Bluetooth pairing and voice dialling with perfect reception and call clarity. The phone is small and light but has a solid and sturdy feel when you use it. The screen is clear and well up to the job in hand. The joystick style control work great for me and feels much better than those directional type keys you get on most phones. The back of the phone is textured making it easy to grip and prevents it sliding off shiny surfaces or dashboards.

Negatives; The phone's menu interface can be a bit clunky until you get used to it. It won't sync unless the handset is in stand-by (i.e. not currently parked on another menu). I can see memory space getting a little tight if you have a huge number of calendar entries, although I've yet to get anywhere near filling it. The Nokia PC Suit software for Windows, needed to sync the phone with Outlook, can be awkward to use but it's worth bearing in mind that it IS free and problems with it affect all Nokia phones since it's a standard application for all of their models.

Son of 6310i not quite the Daddy
I bought a 6021 to replace my 6310i, which finally died recently after 5 years of faithful service and much abuse.

I'd been tempted to replace the 6310 on a couple of occasions, but the phones produced by Nokia and Motorola in recent years haven't really moved me: they all look like toys; they're small to the point of being unusable; the battery life is rotten; I've got an MP3 player and don't need my phone to stand in for one and if I want a camera, I'll buy a camera.

So I was pleased to find the 6021 - a sober looking, no-frills phone for us sober business types and with battery life to rival the grand old 6310.

And it's not bad. The full colour interface is actually slightly less usable than Nokia's old interface and it doesn't feel as solidly built as the 6310, but the sound and reception quality is pretty good and it pretty much does what it says on the box.

So why not 5 stars?

Well, if they'd made the thing a couple of cm longer the microphone would have been next to my mouth, improving clarity and quality for the listener and the buttons could have been bigger for clumsy old me (lose 1 star). More seriously, the PC Suite software and USB cable required to synchronise the phone is (a) extra (about 1/3 the cost of the phone at Amazon prices) and (b) is just awful - it lacks functionality and just doesn't work properly (lose another).

So - if you want a decent phone with long battery life the 6021 is worth a look; if you want reliable synchronization with your PC, look elsewhere (and note that I think that my issues in this respect are with the Nokia PC Suite software not the phone, so you may need to look at another manufacturer all together).

good value!
Purchased this to replace old (yet reliable) Nokia 62 something business phone. Easy to use & lightweight. Do not subscribe to email or other items such as push to talk because you have to pay more. Basically, good value for money if you just want a phone to talk & text!
