Provided you're willing to compromise a bit of pocket space, the Nokia 6280 has a range of multimedia applications and a dazzling big, bright screen. We'd like to have seen better camera performance, but as far as capturing video goes, it's hard to beat this phone at the moment in terms of quality.

I have had my 6280 for 2years now and i can honestly say it has been no trouble for me at all. Except maybe for the odd screen freeze which happens rarely. I have dropped my phone many times and the only problems has been the slider when i hit it against a hard surface but that was my fault. My brother has had the 6280 for 2 years as well and the only problems he's come across is a crack screen from sitting on it etc. I intend to keep this phone until i finish high-school because it is a very good simple phone.
Pros: camera and video not so bad
simplistic menu
loudspeaker
games
internet etc
Cons: a little chunky
small phone memory
64mb memory card =[
Worst phone I have ever owned. It turns itself off by itself, randomly fades to a black screen, which then resets my phone settings, comes up with error message about phone restrictions, has told me numerous times to enter security PIN (even though i didnt set one up!), has came up with "sim invalid" plenty of times (i even bought 3 new sims to try to fix the problem!). I have had two of these phones, and would not recommend them to anyone!
Pros: Large screen.
Cons: Slider stops working, buttons get sticky, poor quality camera (VERY grainy results), horrible sound quality, bugged, bulky, a menace!
Had it for just about 2 years and has been a hastle
Pros: 3G
Media Functions
Front screen
Cons: Restarts for no reason
Camera stopped working
Lags a lot when filled up with files
Only 3mb internal memory
Limited battery life (at most 4 days)
it is relly good for me,no problem with him and I am in 2005, in April, may say that the phone that he, not the best I saw, not give it for nothing, many friends have bought after I have seen myself with this phone
Pros: bluetooth,irda, push to talk,hands free,radio, wap,internet,photo maker and video, media player,sounds registration,3G...
Iv'e had mine now for 2 years and it's really starting to play up which is disappointing.
Pros: -Large screen
-3G
Cons: -It's chunky
-It turns off by itself
- I can't hear anyone when I call unless I put it on speaker
- It doesn't slide very smoothly
-Photo and video quality is poor
heyy
ive had my phone for over a year now and its has been fine except with the software problem which has now been fixed
butt no my speaker doesnt work.
when people call mee i can hear them but they cant hear me
i've had this phone for 18months and am absolutely sick of it. It no longer slides open properly and on the off chance it does it turns itself off and resets the settings. the buttons are sticky and camera quality is poor. Although i have to say it was a pretty good phone when i first purchased it, but it just doesnt last the distance of the 2 year contract... i can't wait to get a new phone.

After watching the latest Bond film, we're beginning to wonder whether Bond's so angry just because of all the products he's meant to spruik. We wonder whether he's reading this story right now on his Intel-inside PC...

Pros: Large Screen

Java apps work great
Cons: Can't turn on Phone Access for apps (Maybe due to old fireware)
