Advantages: Big screen, good camera, video messaging, smooth sliding function
Disadvantages: Front camera can't be used as a mirror, phone is fairly big

...a big difference from a Nokia 5140i which I have had in the past, where you need to push the keys really hard, but the 6280 is much better in this respect. The markings on the keys of my 5140i started to come off after a few months as well, but the keypad on this still looks as good as new after about 5 months. The Screen: This phone has a massive screen (320x240 pixels, 2.3 inches) which means that it can fit loads of lines of text on at once, ... Read review

Advantages: looks, ease of use
Disadvantages: screen seems to get dust under it

...many more games for the Nokia 6280, however someof them were designed for smaller screen resolutions and as such the games ran in the top-left of the screen whilst the rest of the screen was bright white. The phone comes with all the cables and software you will need to connect the phone to any computer with a USB port. Alternatively you can use the Infrared option (slower) or the more up-to-date Bluetooth option (better speeds). Manage your phonebook ... Read review

Disadvantages: Poor camera and video

...a shop to unlock my Nokia 6630 and being told numerous times there was no chance due to a new coding system called BB5 and would cost upwards of £150.00 to unlock from the service provider I decided to invest in a new phone and that phone would be the Nokia 6280. So the Nokia 6280 is a 3G slide phone although it is not a smart phone(but has all the capabilities, the difference being it don’t have a symbian operating system). The main thing that ...

Advantages: Looks great, lovely big screen, good sound
Disadvantages: Awkward slider, poor recording microphone

The nokia 6280 is intended to be a competitor for the likes of the Samsung D500/600 series. These kind of slide action phones are coming back into fashion in a big way, and this Nokia has bags of style. My friends won't stop picking it up when I leave it lying around! For me, the looks of this phone far surpass those of the Samsungs and the biggest selling point has got to be the screen size. Its HUGE! The 2Megapixel camera makes full use of this. ... Read review

Advantages: Good MP3 player and Camera, Stylish Slide Design
Disadvantages: Software faults and low battery life

As Nokia are renound for their durability when it comes to mobile phones I felt confident that my purchase of the 6280 would be a good one. I was, however sadly disappointed. The 6280 appears to be the one phone that Nokia gave up on; by this I mean although various software faults were reported to Nokia after the launch of this phone, They decided that instead of improving the product they wrote it off as a bad job and moved onto the Nseries. ...

Advantages: Great connection options, 3G functionality, fantastic screen, Mobile TV
Disadvantages: Very plastic, flimsy, attracts dust, slow at times.

I got my Nokia 6280 as part of my upgrade package. At first I was disappointed with the phone and contacted Vodafone to organise a pick-up and alternative phone. I felt there was no way on an 18 month contract that this phone would survive! However, the more I played with the phone itself, the more I wanted to keep it. The first thing I have to say about it is that the screen is top quality. The colours are very vibrant and I struggle to pick a ... Read review

Advantages: Good battery life, decent features, average music player and camera
Disadvantages: Firmware issues, random crashing, dust collecting under the main screen.

The Nokia 6280 is a great phone at the low-mid range price bracket. It has a lot of features that similarly priced phones have and while none of them are exactly top of the line they're above average. As a phone it's very good, but it also offers a music player, radio tuner, basic PIM options such as calendar, appointment scheduling, sync. options with PC, a web browser plus Tri-band GSM and 3G connectivity. There is support for Java programs and ... Read review

...a new phone out from nokia and I've always liked the nokia phones and found them easy to use.

Advantages: 2 Megapixel Camera, MP3 Player, Call Quality, Battery life
Disadvantages: Poor system software, Poor build quality

...by taking it to a Nokia service centre (located allover the UK) and having the software upgraded to the latest version. Another major problem with this phone is that dust can get inside the screen very easily. Once again this has to be taken to a service centre to be cleaned. Once these problems have been resolved the phone is a great little device. The 2 Megapixel camera is very easy to use and there is even a button on the side of the unit so ... Read review

Advantages: Packed with features
Disadvantages: It has features that I'll never use

...to it, unlike the old Nokia "banana" phone of years ago. It has springs which hold it open and closed so that it doesn't flop about or slide open on its own. Making calls is straightforward, although when the keypad is revealed, I found that the top row of keys are very close to the top sliding part of the phone, so it's not so easy to dial "by touch". It brought to mind an episode of The Simpsons ("The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. ... Read review

Advantages: - Small - Slick - Great Size - Slide Down -
Disadvantages: - Read Review -

The Nokia 6280 is a great phone, has lots of features, small with a slide down feature, which makes it easier to place in pockets or similar places. I am going to list most of the main features available on this phone, I may not list them all because the list will be a bit too long, but I will do my best. - Slide down - 2.0 Mega Pixel camera - Two-way video call capability - Fast USB file transfers (Full Speed USB 2.0) - MP3 Music Player - ...
