Easy to hold, simple to use
Reflecting the balance between style and comfort, the slim lines and top-quality materials of the Nokia 6131 make it pleasant to the eye and the touch. This sophisticated phone pays careful attention to ergonomics, both in its compact, folding design and elegantly spaced keypad with clearly separated keys, which makes dialing and messaging quick and easy.

The smoothly curved model fits naturally in the palm of a hand, and the soft-touch black finish makes the phone comfortable to hold. Adding a special touch of convenience, the Nokia 6131 includes a unique push-to-open button - the phone gently opens at the press of a button, offering convenient one-hand messaging, dialing and answering calls.

Capture the moment, enjoy music on the go
The vibrant 16 million true color display in the Nokia 6131 phone makes text and icons incredibly sharp and brings images to life. The brilliant display complements the 1.3 megapixel camera, making capturing, viewing and sharing images easy. For additional fun, video clips captured with the phone's video recorder can be used as video ring tones on both internal and external displays.

Enjoying music on the go is also easy with the Nokia 6131 as the phone includes a built-in digital music player and FM stereo radio. Captured moments and favourite music can be stored on the optional hot-swappable microSD memory card, offering storage for a wide selection of images or music files.

The Nokia 6131 also offers a powerful set of features ideal for business use, including email with attachements, Bluetooth technology, quadband functionality and fast browsing and downloads with EDGE.
