Nokia 6280 review

Today I’m going to talk about the Nokia 6280, one of the latter slider phone models with an enhanced Series 40 operating system and built-in 3G capabilities. Unlike its predecessor, the 6270, this phone has a lot move value to offer in terms of design, functionability and sturdiness.
Most of the great stuff about the 6280 can be attributed to the way it was constructed – the buttons feel great, the slider isn’t rickety, and the phone fits comfortably like an old shoe. The top half of the phone houses two menu buttons, the 5-way navigation pad and the call and end call buttons, taking up a third of the real estate. The rest is taken up by the earpiece, the VGA camera for video calls as well as the high res 262,000 color screen.
The 6280 is a phone that works. Remember the Nokia 6230 that won so many awards back in 2004 for being hassle-free? Well, the 6280 is like this, having a sleek design with a fast user interface topped with a high quality 2MP digital camera. This is a phone definitely worth considering for long-term use.
The 2MP cam with 8x zoom is impressive, considering that each shot at maximum resolution (1600×1200) takes up around 650kb of space. Given that the phone only has 6MB of internal memory, Nokia has included a 64MB miniSD card in the package.
What I like:
- the phone feels “strong” in my hands in spite of the slider design. The old 6270 was a bit rickety, especially when I was trying to take pictures.
- very soft buttons – defintely one for the record books. It’s one of the nicest keypads I’ve ever held
- Sleek Zen-minimalist form factor
- High quality 2MP camera
What I don’t like:
- 6MB of internal memory is not enough (though the package comes with a miniSD card)
- Wished the camera button was placed in a more convenient place closer to the middle of the phone. The phone is so small which makes taking pics in ladscape mode a bit awkward.
