Nokia 6280 preview

June 27, 2005 Comments (26)

Nokia recently provided us with a couple of upcoming slider phones to play around with. Sadly they weren't working samples, but we can venture an opinion or two about their design. We really do like the look of the 6280/6270. The phones are pretty similar - the key difference being that the 6280 is a 3G handset, while the 6270 is GPRS and has a polished metal finish as opposed to the black of 6260.

The 6280 is a pretty good size for a 3G phone, though it is still a little bit chunky, and feels simple to use with just five controls on its main facia. There are also large easy to press buttons underneath the slide - you'll be able to text/email quickly on this phone. It works horizontally as a camera too taking two mega pixel images. Obviously we can't say for certain how good the phone is in practice, but if it works in a similar way to Nokia's current 3G handset the 6630, it should definitely appeal to those for whom the rather chunky hard disk endowed N91 is a bit too hefty.

i bought it mainly for the 2mp camera and 3G. It is slightly bulky, however that doesn't mean you can't fit it in ur pocket. My previous phone was a 3200 and im loving the new technology. $499 wasn't a bad price for this phone. I hate going on plans cause they are usually more expensive than what i spend on prepaid.

What do the people who have it think of the memory size? I have everything stored on the memory card because the phone itself as very little memory. This means that my sounds and videos are in the same folder. (6280)

this fone is the best phone upto it's time i'd even say it's much better then the nokia n80. this is a phone i think everyone can use. the streo speakers are also very good, and the 2 megapixel camera is beyond all the camera's i've tried. all this for only a price of $399 awesome deal.
