Nokia 6280 review: High-class slider

Nokia 6280 review: High-class slider - read the full textNokia has created its new 6280 as a substitute for Nokia 6230i. Is this a successful move? Nokia 6280 is literally bulged with functions. On the other hand, it features quite an exotic slide-out construction, which provokes missunderstanding in the end user. Read this detailed mega review to find the answer to this question.

This phone is beyond unreliable. I have had to take it back within days of purchase and still have the same problems with the second one. Occasionally when i turn it on it asks for a code as if its had a pin assigned to it, most of the time it doesn't. Occasionally it reboots for no reason. It never plays MP4's, and it's just plain hard to live with. Looks nice and great features, shame it just doesn't work.

Both my lady and I have had these phones for about 6 months.
We had to have both replaced this week for ongoing problems.

My lady's phone stopped getting a signal and always went to v-mail on incoming and says error in connection on outgoing. In the end it just wouldn’t switch on. Also the battery barely lasts a day now.
This phone was/is kept in very good condition (girls).

My phone stopped reading the memory card after about 3 months.
It stopped vibrating about the same time.
Then this week it did the same will not turn on trick.
My battery is a little better lasting up to 2 days or maybe a little more.
My phone was abused a lot.

So I think the moral is....everyone loves Nokia for its pure indestructibility, this Nokia 6280 falls quite far from that tree.

This is the 1st phone I’ve ever had that hasn’t even lasted the contract before completely dieing.

Thanks for the review, I too had pre-purchased prior to reading. In my clumbsiness I dropped my phone and cracked the front surface. No damage to the actual phone's display.
Given that the front surface cannot be removed, what's the best course of action for repair?

Thank you for your comprehensive review. I appreciate all the hard work that went into it. Well done!

I bought the phone before reading your review, so I am reading it to learn more about the phone and how it's positioned in the market. I find myself liking it even more. The speed is indeed excellent and the voice quality amazinig.

There are a few quirks yes, but overall I am pretty thrilled.
