If you’re looking to get hold of this handset, try the following:

• Try a search on
  Pricerunner or Kelkoo
  for current suppliers
• Take a look on eBay.co.uk or Amazon Marketplace.
• Take a look at a newer handset – See other Series 60 handsets in the range

From the names list, you
can select a contact who has an email address, select the email
address, and then use ‘Select’ to get to a "Send e-mail"
option. Choosing this allows you to enter a subject and some text
to email, but when you try to send it, you’re asked for an "E-mail
server number:"

In this space, you’re expected to type a telephone number of a
data provider that allows you to use their service for sending
an e-mail. Unfortunately, there seems to be no company or service
in the UK that offers such a service – certainly, as far as we
know, none of the main UK network operators support this. That
may not be the case in other countries.

If you want to send email from the 6100, don’t expect to be able
to do this without downloading some Java software. A third-party
Java application for many Java-enabled Nokia mobiles, called
EmailViewercan be used to allow you send and receive email from your Nokia handset, but sadly this is no longer available for purchase – so try a Google search

The Infrared port is the little black window on the right-hand side
of the phone.

The 6100
can connect to a PC via infrared, or USB via a cable. If your
PC doesn’t support IR, then you may want to consider buying
an adapter that can be plugged into your computer’s USB or Serial
port. Here is a summary of how to connect your 6100 to your PC.

• 
  IR connection.
  From the 6100, select ‘Connectivity | Infrared’ from the 6100
  menu to turn the phone’s IR on. Line up the phone with the PC
  infrared port, and Windows should detect the 6100. Then, use
  the Nokia Connectivity Suite to send or receive files from the
  6100.
  There are several IR adapters available, including the pictured
  ‘USB-IRDA Adaptor’ from Maplin Electronics (Cat no: RV88V).

• We’ve struggled to find a setting that will delete all of the data from a Nokia 6100. Instructions online state to hold down the * 3 and gree call button at the same time whilst switching on, but it didn’t work for us
