Nokia 6131 is a good flip phone that comes wrapped in a stylish package. The handset comes under the genre of mid range mobile phones and has scaled the industry verticals by virtue of its imaging capability and Bluetooth and infrared connectivity.

Probably the best part of Nokia 6131's flip is that it includes an automatic button on the left hand side of the button. This makes handling the device very easy, especially when it comes to one-handed messaging, dialing and answering calls. On flip opening, the Nokia 6131 reveals a gorgeous 16.7 million colour screen. This makes graphics, texts and pictures appear quite bright, clear and vivid. The 2.2 inch screen also makes good horizontal and vertical viewing angle.

The external display basically imitates what it is in the internal display. And its best feature is that the external display allows you to apply animated screensavers and wallpapers and adjust a number of settings including power saver and fold animations. The device comes with a decent 1.3 MP camera. It includes settings like grayscale, sepia, negative and Solaris effects, a 10 second self-timer and night mode. Furthermore, the camera application starts as soon as the button is pressed and there is no lag or waiting time.

Other highlights of Nokia 6131 includes 11 MB of internal memory, standard SMS, MMS and email messaging with T9 support, WAP, Push to Talk feature, an FM radio and a media player with support for MP3, MP4 and AAC files. The Nokia 6131 comes with standard array of PIM functions (alarm, calendar, to-do list, notes, calculator, countdown timer and stopwatch), voice dialing and a loud and clear hands free speakerphone.

Good phones to explore for those who neither want to burn their purses, nor sulk in fade mobile experience, with some low budget mobiles.
