ote 1: The Nokia 6120 Classic has the "Classic" tagged on the end to avoid confusion with the Nokia 6120, a much older phone.)
(Note 2: The Nokia 6121 Classic is the same as the 6120 Classic, but they have slightly different 3G frequencies. To save space, we'll just refer to the 6120 Classic in this review, though all of the content in the review applies to both models.)
We at AAS don't often mention our site statistics, but one unusual moment last week was when the 6120 Classic unboxing article drew a surprisingly large number of visitors, in one day managing to equal the total that most articles get in a week. This took us by surprise somewhat, as the 6120 Classic hasn't had any hype, and doesn't, on paper, appear to be any more special than other S60 models released recently.
Indeed, when this reviewer first heard about the phone it seemed like just another S60 model, without anything as novel as a built-in GPS or a twistable keypad. What would make the 6120 Classic stand out from the crowd?
Well, all it really took was seeing the actual phone in real life: it's probably the most compact and light smartphone in the world right now, just 66 cubic centimetres and 89 grams / 3.1 ounces. The photos don't do it justice, because they don't get across the sense of size that you get from holding the phone itself. If you didn't know it was a smartphone, you would be absolutely sure this was a normal "dumb" phone. On top of that, the launch price is also very distinctive, just 250 euros plus taxes, the lowest S60 launch price so far. It's about the same launch price and size as the Nokia 6300, a Series 40 non-smart phone.
