Nokia 6260

I had a lot of problems with the bluetooth and re-occurring system errors on my Nokia 6260. The size is a bit too big too, and it is rather flimsy compared to other flip phones.

The Nokia 6260 is a nicely designed mobile phone with a screen that can be rotated 180 degrees and folded back. It is practical in various environments; such as a class or meeting. The black one looked far better than the silver one, but always leaves grease or marks after each use.

I got a silver one for a week, and the phone crashed and died. I returned it to the retailer and was told that they have quite a few returned ones because of a design fault with the phone.

The retailer only exchanged it for the same phone, so I got a black one, and hopefully it will be OK. The phone has been used since April 2005, and so far it has worked fine.

I got the Nokia 6260 mobile phone as I wanted a very capable smart-phone.

While I couldn't get the email client to work at first, it works now (don't know why!), and although I have never got the MSWord reader working (QuickWord), the PowerPoint reader isn't bad.

An aftermarket PDF reader would be great, but I'm sure there's one out there, and the web browser is superb.

There are some great Symbian applications available for reasonable prices, I just wish the phone would work all of the time!

The Nokia 6260 is a very nice looking phone, that was what first drew me to it. It's menu is easily understandable. I think some people may think that it is a bit too bulky, but i like the reverse screen effect, where you can flip the screen over for 'work mode'. It is hard work to write a text message, as the menu and navigation keys are on the top half to the phone, with the numbers at the bottom. Still a great fun phone.

The Nokia 6260 is a great mobile phone, and very practical for day to use. It is easy for text messaging, has good reception over-all for phone-calls.

What more could you want? It is packed with all the latest goodies you would find on a 2005 generation phone, and it is a nice phone, and looks a bit different to what you usually see on the market these days.

I`m quite annoyed with Nokia. Don`t get me wrong, I like the phone, there are plenty of features, and it is easy enough to use, though the camera lense position is a little strange at first.

My main gripe is the poor quality speaker, it's just too low.

I owned a nokia 6600 which was also the same! Though in between these phones, I have had a 6230 with really high volume speaker.

MP3 tones play so low, it's difficult to hear them, even with slight background noise, and listening to the radio through the speaker is a joke.

Mmy son just purchased a nokia 6670 (same operating system, and I transferred an MP3 tone via bluetooth to it, and upon compltion, it blasted out from it.

It seems you need to try a Nokia symbian phone before you buy it, and it seems to be pot luck.

Don`t buy this! Get a 6670 instead.

My Nokia 6260 is very bad! I had system error problems on two phones of the similar model.

It has a tacky finish.

The Service Centres are very bad, and I had a nightmarish time getting through to the them!

It is definitely not worth the money, considering the number of times you will have to go back and forth to the service centre.

The Nokia 6260 is amazing, I must really say the phone is excellent. Only one thing I would like to add: If the options buttons were on the keypad it would be more easier to send messages. If someone has a small hand he will have a bit of a problem to move up and down to type and send msgs. But overall the phone is worth the buy. GO GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!

The Nokia 6260 is king of all smart phones and it is here with a vengeance. It is amazing because you can do such things as put symbian software and can put now gadgets on via handango.com. It has a radio mp3/4 player and you can get on the Internet with it. I would advise to get this phone simply because its one of the best top of the range mobile phones. I would simply keep forever until the battery or phone dies!!

The Nokia 6260 is a good looking phone in brushed and polished stainless steel effect. Clamshell design which protects the screen until needed when it can be reversed - although I can see little practical need for this other than when expecting the mother in law to phone. Incoming call ID not apparent until opening the flip. The control cursor square is very small, as is the execute button, so good fingernails are a definite must to avoid incorrect selection. Camera/video is effective but not unusually good. Have not got to grips with Bluetooth connection which seems to require selecting each time, but it could be a naff operator! All in all a good phone but heavy and not beyond criticism.
