You can personalize your Nokia 6061 with a number of themes, wallpaper, and screensavers. For more interactive entertainment, the 6061 comes with three Java (J2ME) games: Miki's World, Tetris, and a World Poker Tour demo. Of course, if none of the preloaded options are to your liking, you can always visit Cingular's Media Mall and download more. The phone has 3MB of internal memory.

We tested the dual-band (GSM 850/1900; GPRS) Nokia 6061 in San Francisco using Cingular's network, and call quality was decent. On our end, the volume was loud and conversations were clear, and our callers reported much of the same, although they could tell we were using a cell phone. Unfortunately, the audio quality diminished when we used the speakerphone, which can be activated only after you're on a call. Callers sounded muffled, and we wish there were an easier way to increase the volume; as it is, you have to go through several menus to do so. As expected, the Web-browsing experience was a bit poky, but it wasn't better or worse than that of most cell phones today.

The Nokia 6061 is rated for 3.5 hours of talk time and up to 16 days of standby time. In our tests, we got 4 hours of talk time and 17 days of standy time. According to the FCC, the 6061 has a digital SAR rating of 0.77 watts per kilogram.

Summary: The Nokia 6061 is too basic even for a basic phone. You should spend a little more for a flip phone with an external display.
