Nokia 6280 Slider

Nokia has released Nokia 6280 slider Phone. The 6280 is very close to an earlier model 7370 in construction, software and hardware components.
A pair of loudspeakers integrated into the 6270 provides volumetrical sound. They aren’t enables at calls, though work when listening to the radio and music. This model also lacks a camera for videocalls.
Nokia 6280 is quipped with a 2MegaPixel camera and a memory card slot.
The phone weighs 115 grams at the size of 99.9×46x21 mm. The main part of the front facet is taken by a TFT screen. At the physical size of 35×45 mm and 56mm diagonal (2.2″), it can show 262K colours and has the resolution of 320×240 pixels. The dot size resulted in better sharpness and higher contrast and brightness. The screen won’t fade in direct sun rays and texts will remain readable.
Control buttons are large and there is enough space for them. The 5D joystick is available in the center of the block. The button edge raises above all other control keys and a selection button is deepened a little. This helps avoiding accidental pressures. Except for entering texts you can fully use the phone in a closed condition. However sending a template SMS is also possible.
The handset is produced in two colour versions, which are silvery black (Carbon Black) and the same with a silvery front panel (Graphite Grey). The slider opens easily and smoothly, the auto finishing mechanism works very clear.
The right side features a volume swing-like button and a camera button. On the top phone end you will find an On button and the bottom holds a Pop-Port and a new style (slim) charging connector. This is the first company phone supporting USB 2.0.
A 2MP camera block is on the back panel, it contains an objective, a mirror and a light diode flash. You can use the camera in vertical mode, however that is rather uncomfortable as the forefinger closes the objective
The battery is Li-Ion 970mAh. The same battery type is applied in communicator 9300 and Nokia 7710 phone. In GSM networks the phone will work up to 3 hours and up to 2 hours of work is provided in WCDMA. In standby mode the handset will last for 11 days without recharging.
The main keypad is of small size and backlit in white. Characters are seen well in the dark. The buttons are placed in even rows.
The device can work without a SIM-card, as an organizer (finally the capability is realized). However then options connected with the system function are not available. When you turn the phone on, you are supposed to watch a demo clip about the phone’s capabilities. Then you can switch the option off and delete the clip. This will save almost one MB of memory.
In WCDMA networks the handset will provide the speed of 384/128 Kb (receive/send), in GSM networks the maximum data transfer speed reaches 236.8 and 118.4 Kb for data receiving and sending correspondingly. Also support for GPRS/EDGE class 10 is provided.
A user can access about 7 MB of memory dynamically shared by all applications. Preinstalled applications and Java games take about 2MB, gallery files require about the same size (you can erase them all), and the rest memory (2.9 MB) is shown as free. All resources claim 74 MB of memory.

Backlighting period is not adjustable, which is traditional for Nokia’s phones. And the screen remains active for averagely 6-7 seconds, and then fades.
There are four ways the menu is represented. They are a list, icons, icons with tips and bookmarks. The bookmark mode shows a line with icons of all folders of the main menu. When you enter a new contact, you can fill such fields as name, surname and one phone number. An interesting peculiarity of the name and surname representation is you can add smiles.
You can increase the number of fields by adding extra data. Extra types of phone numbers are general, mobile, video, home, work and fax. Besides you can add PPT address, e-mail address, a personal melody, site URL, user ID to a contact. You can also provide an entry with a text note.
Free phonebook memory is shown in percentage terms, which is rather uncomfortable, and a number of free cells would be much more informative.
Messages. Chat messages, voice, video, informational messages and service commands are added besides traditional items.
Entering the New message item, you have a capability to add a new SMS, MMS, post card, a Flash message (SMS class 0) and a sound message. The maximum number of lines reaches 9, with the maximum number of characters equal to 913. Concatenated messages are also provided. And finally you can add a smile, a text template, a phone number or a contact to an SMS.
The handset keeps about 150 SMS and 50 graphical messages. And decreasing the number of graphical ones you increase the number of SMS proportionally.
Call log allows saving up to 20 calls of each type. And the same names are saved as one item. You can get information on messages, batch communication and other similar data including costs and details. You should apply you PIN code to adjust these parameters.
In a data transfer item you can adjust synchronization with PC. Also the handset can act as a modem. The software included into the kit allows connection to a PC using IrDA, Bluetooth and a data-cable. The synchronization program works correctly and Russian is displayed correctly both on a PC and the phone. A USB option gets active when you connect the cable.
The gallery is a company’s file manager. It consists of such folders as Clips, Music, Themes, Graphics, Signals, Audio, Received files and a Root folder. By the way, you can create own folders.
You can see there are two cameras in this handset. The first one with a VGA resolution serves for videocalls, and the second one is 2MP. As for me, the camera is not an advantage of this phone, as the number of settings is shortened to the minimal. So I will easily enumerate them. You are free to select the compression quality from high, usual and basic. A photo can be of any of five resolutions – the maximum one is 1600×1200, then 1280×960, 640×480, 320×240 and 160×120. From the white balance settings you can select only night mode. The camera uses 8x zoom, however the photos taken with the maximum zoom value do not stand out for high quality and clearness. The absence of autofocus is also a camera’s disadvantage.
Two players are preinstalled in the phone – Media Player and Music Player. One of them can play music and video files, stream video, shows graphics and represent other multimedia applications on the screen.
An integrated FM-receiver works only when the headset is connected, it acts as an antenna then. Visual Radio option is supported, it helps showing text and graphical information during the broadcast.
You will experience no problems with connection using the phone. The presence of speech improvement and sound equalizer provides clear sound in the loudspeaker even in very noisy places.
Phone’s disadvantages cover low call signal when it is mp3, old version of T9 (it can’t guess and autosubstitution), no autofocus in the camera and quite middling themes. And still you can’t transfer files and folders to the second level folders.
