Design
The 6126’s super thin design houses an inner display that sports impressive 240 x 320 resolution and support for 16.7 million, yes million colors. Meanwhile, the outside cover of the handset features a supplementary, 128 x 160, 262,000-color display that can display picture IDs, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The phone’s camera unit is placed just above this display. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side and a camera control button is placed on the right. Most of the phone’s features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset’s control pad. There’s also an input to accept universal hands-free headsets, and a USB port for transferring data to and from the handset. The hot-swappable microSD/TransFlash memory expansion slot is compatible with cards with up to 2 GB of capacity. Calling Features
The 6126 supports polyphonic ringtones, as well as video-based ringers so you can load your favorite video clips to alert you of incoming calls. Plus, with the phone’s picture and ringer ID functions, you can assign pictures and ringtones to your most common callers. If you want to be discreet, there’s also a vibrate ringer mode. Meanwhile, speaker-independent voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. The phone recognizes any voice, so you don’t have to worry about pre-recording your commands. The 6126’s phone book will keep track of all your contacts, and address book capacity is only limited by the phone’s 11 MB of built-in memory. There’s also an integrated speakerphone for talking hands-free, and lastly, the phone’s Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.
