This one;



My bro's fiancee has just got one, but only had a week or so, and she's fairly new to Nokia's in general (last few phones have been Motorola's or Ericsson's)..... I had a little play with it this afternoon and the first two things that struck me was a) how much lighter it felt than my N70, and b) how much faster it is at doing things than my N70!!!!! I like my N70, but the slowness of it is a bitch!!!!!!

I'm guessing that this 6280 is not on Symbian OS like the N70 (Nokia site says the "user interface" for the N70 is Series 60 platform on Symbian OS" while the 6280 just says "Series 40 platform, 3rd generation"....

Basically just interested to see if anyone has one and if they have lived with it for a bit, just give me a little run down on it's plus points and flaws? From what I gathered in my few mins playing with it was it is still a bit "all round the houses" when it comes to using it, as is my N70 (nowhere near as simple as my 6230) but the OS is similar to the 6230 in operation and interface than my N70's Symbian OS..... Internal memory isn't as good (10mb 6280 comparred to N70 22mb) but both have mem card slots, tho the N70 uses the mini MMC, while the 6280 uses a mini SD card which is odd as they aren't the same shape, nor are they interchangeable!!! Annoying, as I intend to get a 1gb mini MMC so I can use my phone as an MP3 player on holiday, etc, but in a years time when/if I change it to this 6280, I'll have to buy ANOTHER card....

 

Someone must have one surely?

 

I'm having a look at one, but waiting for them to come on other networks rather that 'Three'

 

wait for the N80

 

what he says, waiting for this myself, was looking at getting the 6280, my sister has one, not had any faults with it.... apart from random switching off doh!

yep the navigation of the phone menus apps etc it nice and quick compared to the n70, but thats cos it is only a series 40 system

And yes nokia are fuckers for changing the style of memory cards! probably will lose them customers

 

I got my eye on the N91. Symbian based phone, but also doubles up as an MP3 player capable of matching the Ipod nano. Has built in 4gb Memory!

 

i have one i think its mint. cant fault it exept the battery has to be charged every other night and i find it a little slow compared to my old 6230, the camera on it is mint

 

EBR - my N70 doubles as an MP3 player and works just like a Nano, but an internal 4gb memory?!?!?! Thats insane!!!!!!

If I am gonna change phone again tho, I don't thinkI wanna go for another Symbian based one, as this is just sooooooooo fooking slow! My mates 6680 (basically same phone as N70) is slow as fook aswell!

 

what about 6111 just been offered this one and never seen one before


anyone shed any light

 

6111, 1 meg camera, no expandable memory, very small but basic phone by todays standards, can get it in either black or pink, but basically its a small compact birds handbag phone

the other have has a pink one, she likes it

 

whats the sony w800i compare to these phones? Im changing tariffs/networks this week and havent a clue on whats good! I currently have a Nokia 6230.

so the 6111 is no good for a 18 stone bald headed scaffolder then

 

possbably not the pink one

but depend on what you want the phone to do, tho the 6111 dont look like it would take much abuse wise unlike a 6230/i etc

 

I got a 7610 which is symbian based. No complaints about how slow it is here

the fact u can run sat nav software on these phones is top!

 

Still not sure if I should get one..... shame you can't get one on like a 30 day "test" thing - live with it for a month, see if you like it, if not send it back and don't end up paying for it

 

I've got a 6280. It's buggy as fuck IMO. For some reason, the phone crashes whenever it gets to a certain point in a mp3 file (the file is fine, used to play perfectly on the phone before), it also crashes when i tried to change the media player file location to the memory card. It also loses saved settings like the ring and text tones whenever it crashes. Pisses me off, i'm going to take it back and ask for a software upgrade on it or something.

 

yea i got one they r gd fones mate i hav had mine since december and not had one prob i think it a great fone

 

Can't find anywhere that will do me a cheap one.. Don't want another contract phone, and can't find anyone to do em on Pay As You Go...

 

I have one too


Nice phone, but as said above quite slow to get into photos etc , camera and video good on the phone tho

I had it re-boot itself a couple of times and battery needs charging a little bit more than my old phone.

 

n91 is a no no for me for a couple of months £75 a month + up to £ 150 for the phone! i think not!!!!!!
