Nokia 6280

I have now had my Nokia 6280 for a full 12 months, and in a nutshell, it isn't going very well at all. Before I list the various troubles that I have had with it, i'll do it some justice and list some of the nice points of this handset. 1. It has a great interface, which is easy to use and very responsive unlike the Nokia N-series operating system. 2. The 2 megapixel camera punches above its weight. Don't bother with night time snaps, these always turn out nasty, but otherwise I have taken some really great photos with this camera. 3. The styling is simple and elegant. Now anyone who has owned this phone and has nothing but ...  Read the complete review

i have had this phone over a year now and have had hardly any problems with this phone. what attracted me to this phone is the large screen. now to the actual phone. the 2 meg pix camera not bad pictures seemed to come out pretty clear, night vision is useless, took a bit of time to work out when taking picture which way to position the phone ie picture would be upside down not clear which way to turn the phone. loudness of the phone is good, battery lasts pretty long time before charging. have bought a memory card for storage as it only holds a few pictures before filling up. the phone has radio, music player, games , the normal accessories like calendar, ...  Read the complete review

The Nokia 6280 is a smart, stylish slide mobile phone. It has a good range of extra features, including a 2 megapixel camera with flash and video recorder. It has a large screen with good clarity. When closed the phone is quite compact, but I was often accused of possessing a 'brick' when it was open! I think attitudes on large phones have changed since the release of the iPhone etc. The music player is very good, and the sound quality is superior to a lot of phones including newer models. I found the quality particularly good when using the Nokia headphones that the phone comes with when new. The phone doesn't have a great deal of ...  Read the complete review

I have had quite a lot of phones in my past starting from those large bricks you couldn't even fit in your pocket! All of them didn't really last long and I was slowly losing my patience with mobiles. But then this phone came along and thank god it did! The nokia 6280 has survived 2 years with me and although it is becoming to look quite tacky with the back cover snapped off and a few scratches here and there, there is little for me to complain about. It does everything I need it to do like texting and calling people plus a 2mpixel camera, games, calculator, internet etc. The phone is black and silver, rather chunky and has a smooth slider which I ...  Read the complete review

Before you start reading, please be warned - I'm not the most technological minded of people so this review is based more on my opinion and feelings about this phone, but I have scoured the handbook and had a good play with my phone so I can try and give a thorough review! I chose this phone from the wide choice on the Vodafone website. I've owned a few makes, Sharp, Sony Erricson, Samsung and Nokia and found the Nokia holds battery life longer, gets a stronger signal in our area and the calls are clearer. My only requirements were for a camera and for a free phone as up to date as possible (I knew 18 months is a long time by mobile standards), this phone ...  Read the complete review
