More technically speaking the Nokia 6125 is a Series 40 3rd Edition phone. So it is not a smartphone, but it smart mid-range phone! The biggest difference between a Series 40 phone and a S60 phone (a smartphone) is that you can install applications to a smartphone.

Active Stanby allows access to favorite applications or calendar entries directly from the idle screen.

A new interesting feature is the support for Flash and the Macromedia Flash Player. Music Phone? The phone has a MP3 player that plays popular music formats (MP3, MP4, eAAC+ and WMA). Music files can be stored on a hotswappable microSD memory card. The 6125 has Bluetooth 2.0 and you can use wireless stereo headsets - cool!
