Update: posted a user review two posts down. Comparison reviews.

Hey, I saw someone selling the 6210 classic on ebay and asked them if the keystrokes on the phone were in english or chinese. The seller responded saying they are in chinese. What tipped me to ask them is that they mention the user guide is in chinese.

Are all 6120 classics coming from Singapore or Finland?

False alarm
The seller contacted me again. Told me guide only was in Chinese. The phone is the Hong Kong version though. Not the South Korea version. All keys are in english. Cheap $205 as of 3:57pm Central time.
They put other picture of phone for sell.
BTW, im not trying to rip on where the phone comes from. I know all Nokia's dont come from Finland. But if Im buying a Nokia, i dont want a fake one.

There are a few differences between the two versions of the 6120 classic. I have both versions in black.

First: The European version
The other is made in Hungary and is just a little heavier. This might be because other materials are put into the build of the phone and this isn't a bad thing at all. The keys are stiffer and have a great response. The languages you can view in the menus are all for Europe.

Second: Chinese version
One is made in Singapore and has a lighter weight, and I think this is because the materials made for it are different. The keyboard has chinese keystrokes above the english alphabet. And the keys also have a sticker feel, like it could come off at any moment. Definitely a quality issue here.

The applications>my own folder comes preloaded with 3 apps. GPS Data, Landmarks and a program called Organiser. Organiser is a Muslim prayer alarm and calender. It's made to be used with either a GPS or data connection. I will sound off an alarm when it's time to kneal and shows you which direction Quibla is. I think that is the geographical position of a holy relic or something. This application is only preloaded on the Chinese version.
The languages you can set the menu to are English and an array of Asian languages.

You can actually get them in a multitude of colors if you can find the sellers. Here's a link:

Conclusion:
If you buy either one, the speed and OS stability are the same, both have the same internals so quality isnt an issue there.
Both have crappy cameras but in my opinion, all phone camera's are crappy. I have a 7m pixel and I would use that before any phone's.
Both loaded up TomTom Navigator 6 and worked. I use Nokia Maps now. If you go to the Kokia website, download the map loader app. Then go to smart2go website to get the actual maps. Anywhere in the world for free! I like it better than Tomtom, and you dont have to use a data plan if you dont want to.

I hope this helps someone decide which style to get. Also, ask the seller what version you are buying so you know what to expect out of it.
