 6555 a complete disappointment August 17, 2008
I am a faithful NOKIA customer, so I didn't even look at other brands in the AT&T store. What a big mistake! This phone has no battery life after 5 p.m. and actually gets hot in my hand when I make a call. SOO frustrating since we have ditched our landlines for our cells--I told the salesman I needed a solid workhorse phone for calls and texts, nothing more. This was his best shot?
 Not bad, handsfree needs work August 8, 2008
I've had this phone for about 2 months and it provides basic multimedia (pix, camera, audio), reasonable contact functions and fairly good phone quality. I don't use my phone a lot so battery life is acceptable for me. It's not as big or as solid as a Razr, but the price was right -- free with a family plan.
The speakerphone could be a little louder. The menus are ok and are somewhat customizable, and I think better than my inexpensive Motorola. Switching silent to ring profile is easy. It also has a flight mode which shuts down the cell phone but allows you to use the multimedia and phone book etc.
I got a plastic shell and a leather case that both work fine and protect it as it is a bit fragile.
I ordered it from ATT with a handsfree mono earbud which works okay, but is uncomfortable and rubber earbud cushions seem next to impossible to find. I also have not been able to find a stereo headset with mic. I tried the Nokia HS-47, HS-42 and HS-40 with no luck. You can get a 3.5 to 2.5 adaptor, but you won't have a mic.
I had no luck with the 3rd party SIM card reader in backing up the address book, but the I did get a data cable that worked. You have to put it "Nokia mode" for the data cable to work right, the data and music mode don't seem to work as well. Bluetooth worked ok on my Mac, but I didn't try the "Nokia Suite" on the mac. I have not found a video format that will work, but takes most audio files, although some it won't play. MP3's seem fine. I added a 1 GB microSD card without any problems. It has both phone memory and a memory card with is a little confusing. I can only sometimes get the voice recognition to work.
Stay away July 17, 2008

If you have to buy a nokia , buy the 6126, it has a better screen, clearer and louder sound, is smaller and has a somewhat better battery , does not drop calls. But this one has 3G, the slowest( 3.6 MB is a lie its only applicable to blacberrys and other phones , these have 356kbps theoretical , which effectively comes out to 12-15 kbps max) . The 11 days standbay is a lie, its more 11 hours . The battery dies without warning, no beeps just dies. This phone is just not worth it, there are much better phones out there , so save yourself a lot of frustration and dont buy this phone.
The battery is pathetic and it drops calls , the sound is pathetic...this is the truth. The people who say otherwise are a bunch of liars who mislead people and who probably work for the big companies.
 Good but fragile April 15, 2008

First, the bad. I purchased the Nokia 6555b from AT&T Jan 8, 2008. Three weeks later the exterior mini-display was cracked and inoperable. I had worn it on my belt while driving and my seat belt buckle put enough pressure on the mini-display to crack it. VERY disappointing. All Nokia had to do was put a thicker, more rigid plastic cover over the display and it would be fine. Instead, I have a busted phone. Except for the broken mini-display and the inability to see the clock or caller ID, the phone still works, but that mini-display is a Bad Design.
A lot of people complain about the battery. At first I experienced very short battery times as well. I even bought a second battery for $15 with some other accessories. I have never needed it. I believe the battery gets better with time. At first it was displaying low battery charge. Now it goes for a couple of days no problem. I charge it each night, though, just to be safe.
I bought the 6555 because it works with the Acura Hands Free Link system via Bluetooth. (Not all Bluetooth phones do.) It also works with the Ford Sync system. Both work very well. It is indeed nice to place or receive calls without having to find the phone. No clumsy earphones. No looking away to dial or press buttons. No wires at all. My wife leaves hers in her purse, I leave my in my pocket (not wearing it on my belt anymore--I might break it again.) With Sync, the Bluetooth even allows the phone to become a media player. Very cool.
Using the free downloadable Nokia software, you can edit the phonebook from your laptop via the special--and hard to find--micro USB cable that costs $15. But if your laptop has Bluetooth like mine--because I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth wireless laser mouse 8000 and its Bluetooth receiver also receives other Bluetooth devices like my phone--you can connect without having to buy the micro USB cable. The cable is handy to carry though, so you can connect the phone to other computers if necessary to download pictures and video if needed. Using this software, you can also make your own ring tones. My custom ringtone is Hillary Clinton cackling/laughing.
The main display has a nice large font that is visible in broad daylight. Color combinations (themes) are adjustable and some are better than others, but it's nice to have options.
The phone has a speaker phone built in if desired.
It's easy to switch from ring to vibrate--just hold the # key for a few seconds.
If you have MS Outlook as your emailer, you can sync your calendar.
The 6555 comes with a host of useful tools including: a Stopwatch with split times; a Countdown Timer to remember to take the roast out on time; a full-function Calculator; an Alarm Clock; Notes; To-Do list; and a Calendar.
It has some dumb games that are mostly demo only.
It has a very mediocre still camera and an even more mediocre video camera.
It can text, but I don't do that.
It can be configured for Push-To-Talk, at extra cost, if you must have walkie talkie capability.
I was worried about the tiny charging plug, but so far it's been durable, even though it did obsolete all my previous Nokia accessories.
It does need a micro-mini plug for the headphones if you want to use it as a personal music player. Mine included a short Micro-to-Standard mini adapter so you can use your regular headphones.
The Settings menu allows you to reconfigure what many of the buttons will do: if you need to get to some buried menu item like the calculator often, make the Right Selector button do it. One touch and you're in business. This is a very handy feature.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the phone. The audio quality is fine, it rarely drops calls and is small, thin and lightweight. The only real problem is how fragile the outer display is. Nokia should have shipped it with a protector or engineered it better from the get-go.
 pretty good overall March 13, 2008

I got this phone a couple of months ago once my old nokia died, literally. I've owned several nokias and I always feel very familiar with the menus. Although the battery life isn't that wonderful, I don't mind charging it daily. I love the look of it. It's display is amazing. The only thing I'm not really fond of is that when you take out the micro sd card to add anything to it, if you don't have the usb cable (which i couldn't find anywhere when i bought the phone), you have to reset all the pictures and ringtones that were linked to people. Anyway, I love this phone.
