Ben Patterson reports his findings from CTIA on the screen-a-licious Nokia 6126 clamshell.

Nokia’s sleek, mid-range clamshell makes for some serious eye-candy, thanks to its 16 million-color QVGA display.

Design

One thing we’ll say for the 6126; it has a gorgeous screen. With QVGA resolution and capable of display 16 million colors – yikes – this LCD has to be one of the prettiest displays we’ve laid eyes on. Even the 128 x 160, 262,000-color external display gets in on the action. The shiny interior of the clamshell phone will surely draw some envious stares, while the large, flat keys were easy to press. At 4 ounces, the 6126 felt a bit heavy for its size, although at 3.6 by 1.9 by 0.8 inches, it’s certainly easy enough to slip the handset in a jeans pocket.

Features

Besides its great internal and external displays and sleek looks, the 6126 has a solid if unremarkable set of features, including Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, an MP3/AAC music player, and a microSD expansion slot that handles flash-memory cards up to 1GB in size (a nice touch). The handset’s quad-mode GSM abilities are tailor-made for jetsetters, but the phone’s EDGE abilities are bound to disappoint data speed demons looking for 3G.

Pricing and availability

The Nokia 6126 is available from T-Mobile for free with a 2-year contract.
