Nokia 6280

By Jeremy Roche on 07 April 2006

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'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.

  • Good: alright in the beginning
  • Bad: doesn't slide properly
    turns itself off
    sticky buttons
    poor photo quality

  worst phone ever. got 5 seperate replacement handsets over my 2 year contract that all had the same problems. turn itself off, would randomly come up with wierd security messages so i couldn't use it, reset settings. Had my latest handset the longest (6 months) and it has started to freeze and turn itself off if i touch the camera button. thank the Lord my contract is up.

  • Good: None
  • Bad: doesn't work

  I have had this phone for about 7 months. I think its pretty good, I like the large screen and the big buttons. People keep saying it switches off by itself, maybe if the went into settings>display>sleep mode and turned sleep mode off, it wont do that anymore. It is just a feature where it puts the phone at low power while its not being used

  • Good: Nice Screen, Good Camera, Good Buttons, Bluetooth, GPRS, IRDA
  • Bad: A bit pixelated some photos but other than that its a good phone

  Possibly the worst, most annoying, most problematic phone ever manufactured. It turns off within two and half minutes if you're using (to text or call or browse or whatever) and it has nothing to do with the battery....(I've tried new batteries but the same thing still happens). I thought I was the only one with this problem but obviously the other posts on the page suggests otherwise. Also, as others have stated, the settings reset every time you turn it off which is even more annoying seeing as how it turns off every 2.5 minutes! Honestly, it's actually more of a joke than a phone. It should be illegal to buy one. It makes me physically sick. I'd rather carry around a home phone and plug it in when needed. Seriously.

  • Good: Seeing it in the bin gives you so much pleasure.
  • Bad: Uhhhhh hows about everything?

  I suffered with this phone for over a year. It switches itself off for no reasons (while I was talking as well). Finally I lost it and didn't even bother to recover it

  • Good: Nice screen and that is it
  • Bad: Bulky
    Buggy

  I had this phone for a total of 5 weeks before I got sick to death of it jamming, turning on and off when it liked, people on other end couldn't hear me speaking, would not save my preferences (wallpapers, themes and tones) they reset every time it turned off, I even took it in to get the patch when it came out ( i got the phone very shortly after 1st release) and was told by nokia staff it was full of bugs. Aweful. got rid of it and bought yet another 6230i which is my perfect phone. Now if they'd just re make that with a better slightly bigger screen i'd pay top dollar for that!!

  • Good: looked good, big clear screen, some functions still available when closed, nice big buttons on front.
  • Bad: many software issues, many many annoying bugs. can't change cover. a big expencive irritation!! Don't get one.

  I had my nokia 6280 for 1 month before it started jamming. sent it in about 4 or 5 times would work for a few days and jam again. It still turns on but no use out of it as it won't do anything but jam. piece of junk

  • Good: can't think of any
  • Bad: Its software was no good as it kept jamming all the time

  had this phone for 2 years. Is alright at first. After awhile the slider gets a bit grainy feeling and the buttons get weird, you have to press them twice. The photos also take awhile to load.

  • Good: Used to be a good phone
  • Bad: grainy pictures, grainy slider after awhile, buttons dont work after awhile. Was a good phone when it first came out, Much better ones now.

  I like this Nokia 6280 phone because its functions are quiet fast and understandable. Easy to use its controls with hard body.

  • Good: Hard body.
    Stylish casing.
    Good camera performance.
  • Bad: No any memory card.
