PCMag reviews the Nokia 6030 and writes, “The 3.2-ounce 6030, at 4 by 1.7 by 0.7 inches, slips easily into a pocket. Maybe it’s not SLVR-thin, but it’s also one-tenth the price. The small (128-by-128) color screen is dim and the black buttons are small, although well separated, but we were glad to see a standard 2.5mm headset jack and not Nokia’s proprietary Pop-Port connector. Dropping the phone a few times did loosen parts of the case, but they snapped right back into place. Battery life was excellent. We got an amazing 15 hours of talk time under ideal conditions. That’s better than you’d get in real life, but it still puts the 6030 among the cellular elite.”

CNET says, that, “t 104 x 44 x 18mm and weighing 90 grams, the Nokia 6030 is surprisingly lightweight despite its rather thick dimensions. On the upside, the phone comes with a comfortable, rounded design that gives it a somewhat sleek and thin look. The black Xpress-on cover that came with our test unit also added a metallic feel to the phone, even though most of its construction is made of plastic and its gloss finish leaves smudgy fingerprints easily. The 6030 is also available in champagne and silver… In terms of features, the 6030 is very similar to the Nokia 3100, which was also designed as a basic, functional phone with minimal features. The only connectivity options available are GPRS and WAP. Even that is limited to GPRS Class 6 and WAP 2.0. The absence of all other connectivity options means you must purchase the data cable to connect the phone to a computer or to another device.”

“the 6030 seems to be rather pricey for what you get. For the same money you might have expected some decent connectivity (the 6030 has none - not even cable or infra-red), triband and even a camera. The 6030 has none of these features. It’s not even that lightweight, considering that it has so little functionality. However, if you’re a Nokia fan looking for a phone that costs less than £100 and doesn’t have a camera, then this is as good a choice as any.” (via)

GSMArena reviews the Nokia 6030 phone and writes, “It is at most probable that when you pick your Nokia 6030, people around you will hardly notice that the phone in your hand is a low middle class one. Nokia 6030 could be easily mistaken for Nokia’s manager model, which does not have a camera, especially when being looked at from behind. That is why this phone allows for a quite a pleasant show off at a relatively low price.”
