Rating  - Just waiting for my contract to expire
The AT&T store near my house didn't offer much of a selection, unless I wanted to shell out a huge amount of money. I went the less-money route and got what I paid for.
Aside from the uninspired look of the unit, my huge complaint is the sound. Each time I've tried to turn the speaker on before the person on the other end picks up, the call is ended. Major, major design flaw. Secondly, on most calls, the sound is nearly non-existent the first 5-10 second. I can barely hear the other person.
This is my first and last Nokia.
Rating  - Has pros but plenty of cons
The Nokia 6126 has some very nice features (most of which are also found on newer phones). My gripe is that this phone is incompatible with every PC-to-Phone software program available. The only program which is available is the "Nokia PC Suite" (free at Nokia web site). But that program can't do near what most other Cell-to-PC programs can do.
The Nokia Suite for this Phone cannot dedect the contents of the Sim Card, nor the Sim itself. Hence, many features are inaccessible.
(Only Phone memory and the add on Miro-chip memory is available.)
The contact list editor is the worst ever I've seen. The Contact List should be the core on any phone. If you want to play mp3's - get an mp3 player. The sound quality is severely lacking, and no bass at all.
If you want a camera - get a digital camera because clarity will be a world of difference. That leaves us with a Contact List Editor.
(1) Cumbersome pop up windows for entries, rather than as all other programs do, which can be edited on one single page and can be printed out. The Nokia 6126 does not have printing, neither does the Nokia 6125 PC Suite. (It will allow you to print 1 Contact per page -- good luck printing 40 pages which would normally fit on 1 page.)
There are plenty of sites that only discuss the good points, and I agree it's a nice phone if the core reason for having a phone, contacts and appointment calendar editing & printing wouldn't be so cumbersome or simply unavailable.
My last beef is battery life. For my purposes, standby gives me relative sufficient time, but use the phone with PC sync, one better hurry.
Charging time runs between 2 1/2 to 3 hours on a home 110V charger.

I recently bought this phone for 20$ as a GoPhone after losing my Samsung Sync :( I was fully prepared for a phone that was way below the Sync but this phone is on par and better in some areas.
Pros:
The speaker is amazingly loud-especially compared to the Sync. Voice quality is normal. The cool thing is that you can play music while doing anything else you want!
The screen is the same vibrant big screen as the Sync and many newer phones. You can even change the main screen so that it has shortcuts and a calender like a smartphone!
Cons:
The flip button works great unles you accedentaly block the flip with your finger.
The sd card is behind the battery cover. This is not a problem unless you take the card out a lot.
Battery life is extremely short but if you charge it every night it should be good.
Overall i liked this phone as much as the sync and better in some respects
Rating - No battery life = no phone
The battery does not hold a charge - don't buy this phone unless you want to talk with your phone plugged into a wall. I had a nokia phone for 4 years before I bought this phone and I loved it. As soon as I can I will replace this phone.
