Nokia 6260

...I have always gone with Nokia because I like the User Interface they provide. I have found with a lot of my mates’ phones, they often can’t find what they are looking for, especially if it is to do with altering fundamental phone settings. I have never had this problem with a Nokia. After a little looking around I had narrowed my choice of new phone to either the Motorola V3 or the Nokia 6260. The reason I narrowed my choice to these phones is ...
... The reason I chose the Nokia in the end was simply familiarity and the fact that having used the V3, I knew that the buttons we really awkward. So why is the 6260 so great? Well the flip part of the phone is the first thing… not only does it flip but it twists!!! This seems somewhat superfluous until you realise that it makes it a lot easier to use the camera by twisting the screen so that it looks like a miniature digital camera. As well as ...

Review of Nokia 6260

...it is closed has the Nokia Logo and a dotted textured panel that gives this phone a robust look to it. I choose the black version and it looks the business! There isn’t much to say about the exterior so onwards to the inside.... As you flip the top of the phone up, it reveals a massive multi colour screen surrounded by silver metal edging which is appealing and striking to look at. The keypad buttons are black and silver and are hard (not soft) ...
...if you are used to Nokia phones, as the format is very much the same, although each phone is slightly different. The menu has lots of different icons (which are changeable as well) and they include: Messaging - this is where you can send and receive sms text messages, and emails. Contacts - your address book, which can hold other information such as address, birthday, anniversary, several numbers per contact, email address, web site, notes etc. ...

Review of Nokia 6260

As a loyal Nokia user, the arrival of a Nokia flip phone was of great excitement to me. I purchased the Nokia 6260 online as I have done with my last few phones and eagerly awaited its arrival, boy was I disappointed! The phone looked very flashy online but when it arrived I can only describe it as one of the ugliest mobiles I have ever seen, particularly the outside shell. It was much bigger than I thought and this was when folded let alone when ...
...this one back and look for something a bit more trendy. However, I am not going to abandon Nokia altogether, they have given me great phones in the past, and hopefully in time they will develop their flip phone from this somewhat ‘ugly duckling’ into a more trendy ‘beautiful swan’! ...

Review of Nokia 6260

...section to begin on, as Nokia seemed to have let a lunch box manufacturer come up with its design. Its got a big bulky size and weight to it (Weight: 130 g, Dimensions: 102 x 49 x 23 mm, 109 cc). so yeah pretty big. & thats closed! When opened and placed next to your face you are soon dwarfed and very nearly engulfed, because I think this thing is big enough to contribute a gravitational pull. So yeah on the old size side, a bit of a thumbs down. ...
...phones ever, bar none, the screen can be rotated 180 degrees and flipped down (giving it a PDA appearance) or 90 degrees and half flipped down (giving it a digital camcorder appearance) The colours it comes in too are quite attractve. A sleek silver or a very flash black finish, all with chrome button bits etc. Which brings me on to the buttons...again a little bit of annoyance to tel you the truth. Due to its potential of behaving as a PDA in "browse" ...

Review of Nokia 6260

...you can expect from a Nokia including some extras like PPT which enables you to use it like a 'walkie talkie' and also full connectivity ie. WAP, GPRS, Bluetooth and IR but to name a few. It also has programs such as Real player which gives you the ability to have the same things on your computer as well as phone. Camera Apart from the obvious fact that it is only a 0.3mp VGA camera, it is surprisingly good for just taking quick snaps as you do. ...
...still being small enough for MMS. I also offers video which can record for up to 10.00 minutes which is very good. Durability This phone certainly is very durable. I have had it now for about a year and apart from a few minor scratches it is still in impeccable condition. It has hard plastic casing protecting it as well as having the clamshell design protect the screen and keypad. Styling This phones it to say the least somewhat bulky and weighing ...

Review of Nokia 6260

...height and size of a Nokia 7610, and you get a concept of its size). The upper portion of Nokia's first clamshell smartphone was decked with the usual Symbian S60 buttons, two soft keys, the 5 way directional buttons and the edit and symbian menu bottons. As mentioned earlier, the lower half has the "end" and "call" buttons as well as the numerical keypad, which occupied the top portion of the phones base. The other half is 'camouflaged' by a band ...
...novel and interesting aspect, as Nokia has not shied away from making unique (or controversial) designs, such as the 3650. The placement of the keys on the upper flip makes sense when you swivel the phone to Browse Mode, but the problem is on typing URLS using the number keypad, which requires you to undo Browse Mode and return to 'Work' mode, which is old fashioned open clamshell. Camera mode is the main selling point, as the phone requires you ...

Review of Nokia 6260

...saw it, the BRAND NEW nokia 6260, in black and gleaming from under the counter. Its smart! to be fair it doesn't follow the trend, in the sense that its not easy to lose, the buttons are still pretty much the same size as an average man's finger print, but still. Its got the added extra of being a flip phone and all the options off the menu that you manage to work are well worth having. For instance, blue tooth which is the thing to have these days, ...
...but its not the classic nokia friendly model, don't be fooled into thinking that just cos its a nokia , its gonna have the classis nokia principles! The phone cost me a hefty 220 pounds late last year, that was in thailand bear in mind. At the prsent time, they around 200pound on a pre-pay basis but if you find a good contract deal by shopping around you can get it free if you sign up for 12months. If you're the sort of person that is likely to ...

Review of Nokia 6260

the nokia 6260 is a nicely designed phone that has a screen that can be rotated 180 degrees and folded back. it is practical in a lot of environments. the black design looks a lot better than the silver one but it always has marks and fingure prints all over it when you have used it. i got a silver one for a week as they didnt have the black one in stock and i had it for about 3 days then the phone just died off, so i returend it to the retailer ...
...have to travel to the nokia centre to get it done. overall: i bought the phone in the first place because i wanted a smart, reliable phone that i could use every day. the menu of the phone could be improved. overall i think that the phone is a good phone although their is a lot of room for improvement thanks for all your comments and ratings ...

Review of Nokia 6260

Ive ahd this phone for about a month or so now, and on the whole I'm pleased with it. The biggest attraction for me was that it ahd everything I wanted ina phone. I can listen to the radio wherever I am (and its pretty good quality sound too), I can take small videos of nights out, and I can download really cool themes onto it too. The problem with the camera though is that it seems to take a second after you've pressed the button to actually take ...
...pic of the person moving away (thinking the photo had already been taken) and its really annoying!!! Even so, the phone is brilliant cos of its calendar function. Its clearly set out and so I never forget to go anywhere now! I haven't used the bluetooth facilities on it yet, but i'm sure its a good thing to have on a phone. The buttons can be a bit awkward to press at times, cos they are on 2 different parts of the phone. And my biggest gripe ...

Review of Nokia 6260

I long ago decided that O2 was the best network for me, offering 300 texts free on PAYG. I saw the 6260, fell in love and decided to switch onto O2 contract and get the phone for free. It costs me £19 a month, and I get 500 free sms and 50 free anytime/network minutes. The 6260 is quite a lot wider than my 3100, the buttons harder to pinpoint, but that's my big hands for you! The screen is a lot bigger, the graphics and tones are 100x better than ...
...bought real tones (woohoo!) which costs me around £2.35 per mb. The camera takes amazing photos, but isn't best placed, as its where I put my hands. But at least its fun trying! You can personalise groups of people, individuals and add tones/ pictures to their name. Pretty similar to 3100 but higher quality. I haven't tried the radio, real player, blue tooth or anything yet, sorry! My biggest problem with the phone so far, is lack of phone cases ...

Review of Nokia 6260

The Nokia 6260 is a clamshell phone with a range of interesting features, but most obviously its most notable feature is the rotating screen which can be rotated to a number of positions - open, closed, facing inwards and facing outwards. This is a little "gimicky" and at first it's quite fun but the novelty soon wears off. After a few days the sturdyness of the screen wears of and the hinge feels very loose and dangerously close to falling off (although ...
...mentioned earlier the phone has a numebr of interesting features which make s it particularly attractive to business users. Under applications it has a feature called "quickword and quick point" which combined with its symbian operating system allows you to view word documents and powerpoint document which is extremely useful. It alos has a real player used to play video files and has the, by now, standard features of FM radio, polyphonic ringtones ...

Review of Nokia 6260

The only phones I've had are Nokia's, easy to use and realiable! I upgraded to this phone on-line, i should have waited to see it in a shop! It is much to large and a little cheap looking. Although, the rotating screen is very handy and the picture on screen is always very clear as are the colours. The video quality is better than most phones I've seen recently. The menu on this phone is very much like all nokia's and everything is where you would ...
...be a little confusing when using, I found myself nearly deleting whole files just by the touch of the cancel botton! I have also found the sound quality of the loud speaker poor, the person on the other end sounds a bit muffelled. I have always found reception to be very good. Battery life is average. There are many more features on this phone, such as MP3 player, which I do use and radio, which has very clear reception. This phone is a bit of fun ...

Review of Nokia 6260

...my phone from my beloved Nokia 3200 they wanted to jack my bill up £20, so I began on to trawl through endless phone lists, reviews, magazines and internet sites. Finally I found the Nokia 6260. My main credential was that I wanted a flip phone, with a camera and blue tooth and infrared so I could transfer from my Nokia 3200 to the phone that would come next, by which time I presume infrared to be extinct. Still, having checked ciao and found some ...
...the phone on O2, and waited for its arrival. My first thought as I opened that packaging was "Is the phone inside the brick?" but no, sadly I found it was the brick. A bulky thing which had no outside screen, only a pitiful light to say what was going on with the phone and irritating buttons on the top and bottom of the phone. AT this point I was thinking, "Where did I put that guarantee." Oh how things change. That was February, now it's may, ...

Review of Nokia 6260

I purchased this phone in April 2005, after being seduced by the striking good looks on a website. Unfortunately the images did not put the phone in context to anything else and I was completely surprised at the enormity of it when it actually arrived. That said it was easy to set up, and the memory card supplied provided more than enough storage for the few photographs I have taken. Quality of pictures is fairly good, as is the quality of video. ...
...is a comfortable experience and the screen is the viewfinder. Very much like a mini camcorder. The phone went through a bad spell a couple of weeks ago and started making calls by itself and it seems to have snapped out of the habit now!! Plenty of applications including some try before you buy applications on the memory card that have a limited number of uses. The file manager programme is particulalry useful. All the usual features are there ...

Review of Nokia 6260

This is the first phone I've ever had on contract. I went for O2 because I spend about £25 a month (including insurance) and I get 450 off peak minutes to any network, 100 texts and 1mb of downloads. My friend has a 6230 and the features are pretty similar if perhaps slightly improved. On the whole the functions are brilliant. The Camera is quite well placed to allow you to photograph or film yourself as well as others and has the feel of a tiny ...
...the phone. The screen swivels 180 degrees so you can even close the phone with the screen facing up, very nice for browsing but it is rather annoying that most games require the use of the '1' button which means you need it open to play them. You can transfer media files for free between phones by Bluetooth or infrared if you are within range. We've had fun playing with this. This phone also takes the new RS MMC card. This stands for reduced size ...
