If any one using this type of phone faced a problem like this pls mention ur openion.But I again writing except this problem this Nokia 6280 is a good phone.I am greatful If Nokia company can help me to solve this problem .

  • the solution to all ur probzzz like camera not working or cell running slow or stuff is too clear up some space in ur cell phone aand in ur memory card as well!!! and keeep updating the firmware ......turn off any applications running 3g or stuf........if not 100% but a lil efficient will ur cellphone will be!!!

  • failed to register SIM

  • Flex cable

  • i used this phone for 2 yrs+-,and had format it, then the cable is 'putus' due to the slide design.and bought new battery...nw each time when i restart the phone,the setting will back to the original setting,i had to set again my ringtone..i think is time for me to change a new 1..overall,i like tis phone,as i used it for 2 yrs.

  • i wont to format it because the camera and vid is not working

  • it doent have a big memory and it has a fault that if we are having online call we cant paly any song during col y it is soo....nt gud at all.

  • too bad!! why should anyone buy this phone? to be sincere the only good thing in d phone is the voice clarity, screen n keypad. its performance is too poor. the phone cannot handle applications more than 600kb. the phone cannot play video without hanging n rebooting. even application n games as small as 300kb reboots d phone. flex is useless, mine started showing multiple images, i changed it n just kept changing it. the battery is good, normal for nokia battery. but sometimes the phone gets hot without using it and just runs down d battery. very low memory 4mb n had to flash mine after collecting music through bluetooth. if u use this phone, stick ur memory card ina laptop to copy all ur music. recently i connected mine to a laptop as modem to browse the internet via bluetooth, it worked well but was so messed up after usage, it was like the panel started burning n also started running down d battery. the back camera never works, it goes on standby n reboots the phone. does it really hav a front camera? think. nice style though but the point is nokia doesnt know how to do a slide phone. recently i bought the n95 and it started having backlight problem, i changed d flex only to compound the problem of the phone! stop patronizing nokia slide phones... but go for nokia or s.e. if u dnt like bb. they r d best but pls dnt go anywhr near this 6280. it cn make u hate nokia! mine has been a nightmare ever since. [email protected]

  • its just great i got it after 2005 and its most greatest thing in my life :D

  • its a good i have this unit. though juz a lil bit bigger than other phones. but it is really good. u juz have to be careful with the its slide.

  • its a great phone, but when want to send music, photos via bluetooth, it wont allow me to, say unable to complete opperation, help anyone

  • Yes,you're absolutely right. I am facing the same problem. There seems to be no original battery for this phone around. Frequently,the battery disappoint when you least expect it. One has to charge,charge and charge and at the end of it all, it will work for few minutes and become empty again. Its really frustrating but i love the phone if there can be solution to the battery issue.

  • Can anyone tell me how can I find a password of memory card ???(I droped the phone and now I can't enter into memory card because it needs a password which I never set in it)??? Otherwise it's the best phone

  • U have to save ur contact number in ur sim memory,then it will deffinately will store in memory space.At first i faced the problem but i myself found the solution...just do it.

  • replace the ribbon

  • excellent phone with all features, 2nd hand its damm good

  • when i recieve stuff like music and picture through bluetooth. it saves it on the phone memory. but i want it to save on the memory card. how do i do that.

  • It was my most xpensive phone that i ever bought 3years back and i am stil using it ,i knw want to try the 5800 xpress music bt the price is too high bt its worth it .thankyou

  • I have owned this phone for 2 years now. Can say that it crashes too often, for example when listening music the phone boots itself... also if you fully recharge the battery and then talk to someone, u can talk max 2min, and then phone shuts down... tried to change battery but it doesnt help. Had the newest firmware too. I've used the phone two times in repair. 5/10

  • Great phne but recently when i try camera it say operation failed and camera goes on standby why can it be repaired? Why does it sometime have a white screen and reboot itself.?

  • Excellent phone, had it for roughly three years now and it is a good, robust phone with excellent memory, all I have to say is its a pity they have discontinued this phone!!

  • It's my favourite mobile.It works really good.I gifted it to my husband before 3 years.still he is using it.

  • wonderful phone..it rocks

  • the front camera doesn't work. poor camera quality and the flash makes it all worse. the sliding mechanism is sometimes too tight. i have it replaced two times because the 'flex' was cut. it's also too big. but the features are great. i replaced it with N7610 supernova within a year.

  • I've had this phone for many years and would have to say that it has been one of the best and most reliable phone i've ever owned. BRILLIANT WORK HORSE. Not the best with range as it doesn't have all the latest wireless technology but still a great 3G phone.

  • This was my 5th phone. I bought it in June 2006. Earlier I had used Nokia 2110, Samsung R220, Nokia 2600 & 6610i. This phone was great at first look as slider design was a fad at that time. I was using it till recently, until it was stolen, unfortunately, from my home along with old 6610i. It was a great S40 phone with good camera capabilities. A 3G phone when few people knew about that technology. The only drawback it had was with memory. It had just 4MB of internal memory. And as one of my friend had truly posted here earlier, any large size application would hang it. I had a 512MB card installed out of which I used just about 300 MB. Still it used to take lot of time to explore it. The mechanical design for slide was good. Though it had developed a little play lately, it was still working good. I installed a truck load of jar applications from gallery.mobile9.com and getjar.com. It was then that problem of slowness started. Eventually I had to delete most of them.

  • hey!thats the problem that front camera is not active, bt its all other featers are good. am using it from 4 years. and it really performing good

  • Who know about the version of 6280?? i think its series 40. . .but im not sure you know why i ask about it?? bec its very important for downloading application u need it so u can find it esily but my problem is imnot sure about the version of 6280. . . bec i have to find file manager for this phone and ,my problem is that verion. . .i just want to know for better application fori t

  • it is easy to use

  • easiest phone to record conversations...

  • yeah,, I agree.. I had my phone for like two years.. Number one problem is the housing,, second the camera, third u can'it even use the front cam.. duh!!

  • i had it 2 years ago, ya..it's kinda cool..but since it is slide up phone.. it came to the point when it looses its side when u want to slide it, and sometimes, its too tight to slide...:( and u won't be able to use the front camera for picture taking purposes, it's function is only used for 3G video calling.

  • Nokia 6280 supports only apps and game which have less than 700 KiloBytes size ( because of its heap size limit)

  • da phone is pretti gud. but aftr sum time the head phone jack and the casing starts to get loose.

  • nice phone-but i need help-phone works fine,but the screen is blank.some techs say circuit board problems-others say dont know.please i need help! anybody please?

  • sorry to hear that Sinuss. actually i experienced that kind of issue several months after i replace the flex cable of my phone. Much to my regret, i ended up selling the phone and replace it with a new one (Not a slider again of course!!!) I bought the traditional candybar phone. I learned my lesson and at least it will stay on me for years.

  • great mobile until the flex cable started to ruin the phone. Since it has moving parts, eventually you'll have to replace the flex, lucky if you can find cheap spare part for this phone. I've had the phone's flex cable replaced but since then, the phone behaves not as it was used to be. Although it fixed some issues, like the Camera not activating at standby and video playback error when in fullscreen (because of the defective flex cable), sometimes i cannot receive phone calls and text messages, and likewise i cannot make outgoing calls as well. My advice, if you had nothing to do with your 6280, better not play with the slide, for it last longer.. hehehe! Candy Bar phones, anyone?! lol!

  • I've used it 4 two years. charge stay hardly 1.5 days.. pic quality, display, sound quality awesome. pic taken at nifgt kinda sucks. @ntu

  • i love the style of it butthe software has failed twice in it in 6 weeks am nota happy bunny

  • please i have noticed that most of the nokia products have very small memory space. this makes it difficult to download sturfs on the net. i was nokia 6280

  • this fone is quite good for daily use

  • Nokia Phone Browser/Nokia 6280

  • Bunny, let me ask you this. . . the battery that you bought, is it an ORIGINAL NOKIA battery. Most people opt for the replacement type bcz it's less expensive but i'm 100% positive that if what you bought is the original one, you charged it till it went full, you never over charge it and as you claim, usage is minimal then it should even reach two (2) days. Mine does.

  • One (1) week or seven (7) days only and already the phone conked-up and the store that you bought or got it from won't replace it?? You must've damaged it that's why the store or even Nokia won't replace that due to mis-handling or mis-use. If you were the store, would you just replace a phone if you knew that the defect or problem was caused by the user? You wouldn't right? Just be fair and move-on.

  • tpu, the 6280's camera is ecxellent. You probably didn't check your camera settings. It gives you many options depending how many pictures you want it to store but if you really want the best quality, follow these instructions: Menu>Media>Camera>Options>Settings>Image size>1600x1200. Trust me, you'll be very pleased and happy with those settings. Just expect that bcz the phone will be consuming more pixels due to a very high definition picture then it's going to reduce the number of shots/picture it can store with that setting.

  • So sorry to hear about your 6280 failing you but for mine which we've had for 27 months, I've only had to replace the flex ribbon cable once (1x) and so far everything's been great. Is it possible that you must've damaged your 6280 by either getting it wet or having dropped ot banged it a couple of times. It's possible also that the Network that you're supporting or carries a weak signal. Suggest that you always put your phone in Automatic Roaming so that you're not limited to just one Tower.

  • Sphenz, your camera not working and it saying operation failed is connected to the Flex. 100% sure na yon. Just have the Flex Ribbon replaced and your camera will be fixed immediately. Trust me, I had that same problem and it was fixed by replacing the Flex Ribbon. FYI, that's the only problem with sliding and flip-top/clam phones, everything is dependent on the Flex as compared to 1 pc phones.

  • Becky, d 6280's fone memory cn only hold up to 10MB while u hv alredi upgraded ur Memory card to 1.0 Gig. Whichever one u use, it shd hold/store more dn 25 msgs. Hr's wt u do, u go to Messaging>Message settings>Save sent messages>Yes. Now as for the msgs dt u rcvd, follow this Messaging>Message settings>Text messages>Message validity>Maximum time. That should solve your pronlem. =)

  • Actually I my son used to have a Nokia N70 and the sound it generates is the same. Suggest you get an original Nokia Headset and you will truly appreaciate all the BASE that headset will bring. It's just a little bit costly but it's worth it.

  • The only difference between a Nokia 6280 and 6288 is just the Housing. That's all. If you're due for a Housing replacement already, might as well get that of the 6288 so that your phone will look and appear newer.

  • I inherited my wife's Nokia 6280 whose 2 year postpaid line contract expired last Oct 2008. It looks exactly like the picture on the upper left. All default. I had to replace the Flex Ribbon Cable, the LCD, the speaker and I had it unlocked or open lined already to accomodate my other sim cards. Since I got the parts from local street stores, i'm not optimistic it's going to last long but at least i got it cheap. Next would be the Housing. I might get that of the 6288 considering it's the same phone. I've alsp bought a 2.0 Gig Mini-SD Memory card w/c I've filled it up w/ MP3 songs. So far the phone's been okay specially when I put the stereo headset-on. I just noticed that after playing the music player for awhile, it suddenly beeps then it turns the music player-off & it goes back to the main screen prob due to over playing/heating. When i also play the radio w/ the loudspeaker-on, it suddenly plays all the stations very quickly. So far that's what i've noticed w/ my 2 year and 3 month old Nokia 6280. No issue or problem with any freezing or viruses. I'm not the type who experiments on a phone's software. Would anyone care to give a comment why it does this? Thank you.

  • no it is a very good set

  • dont u guys think that the headphone sound produced by nokia 6280 is poor

  • recently, i've just bought from my colleague (used phone), been using for several months, and it is really a good phone, only sometime it hangs(rarely) when quitting from a game, you know..he has been using it for almost 3 years, and still going strong, recommend it for those who wants a cheap and good feature phone xD

  • I have one kuestion have nokia 6280 and have problem with music i volume phone to maximum but he here litle tall me what to do

  • For the price, this phone's features can be considered good. However, features isn't everything -- robustness and reliability are very important for those who use their phone more than occasionaly or lightly. The Nokia 6280 is absolutely not a heavy-use phone. The slide mechanism has failed on two of these for me in about 18 months (both times). The main symptom is the screen stopping working, as it's connected to the phone's 'brain' via the slide. My first phone split in two! There have been many software problems as well, such as the phone crashing when opening an MMS message, or running dog slow when more than about 300 SMSes are stored in the Sent folder. (But I had to figure that out myself -- otherwise, the phone will just dumbly keep accumulating messages there.) So, this is strictly a light user phone. I'm planning on switching to a Nokia E71.

  • ive used this phone and i really do think its the worse phone ever made. Its had no reception, kept shutting off and the memory was diabolical. Even a 6230 had better features and performance. But the later version teh 6288 is the best phone i ever had. Well done nokia

  • i love itttttttttttt

  • i had the 6280 for about 2 years. V good fone in every way. Seeing your loss and yr search, I'd advise you to upgrade to an E51 if you can afford it. You will surely miss sm gr8 features -I DO!!!- but u will like the new advanced features, too. Farid

  • FYI,this phone only support up to 2GB memory only,so can't do anything with u 4gb memory

  • okay install nokia pc suite in your computer plug your phone in and let the computer do its stuff like recognise the phone. then go to www.nokia.com download the nokia software updater download the program then download the update once done download the update again and then it will ask you if want to intall the update again accept and your phone is now reflashed back to the way it was when you bought it hope this helps if not reply and ill get back to you asap promise

  • Please Anyone know any rick to increase the loudness of Nokia 6280 during mp3 playing.I found it its average? Norton Antivirus 2009 for 6280.Download:

  • (hope this one helps!) for those having problem with Camera Operation failed on their Nokia 6280 For those of you having problem with Camera > "Operation Failed" on Nokia 6280 standby well the main reason is because you need to replace the ribbon that connects the lower and upper part of the phone. This is based on my personal experience and according to the Technician who fixed my phone, its like a normal wear and tear for people who has slider phones or even clamshell phones. I Guess it applies to other brand of phones as well. After he replaced the the ribbon thingy, its back to normal again. Downside is, he replaced the ribbon twice coz the first one he placed has a backlight problem so he did change it again. By the way guys if you can acquire an original Nokia replacement part then much better. I spend only $19 for repair by the way. Cheap huh?! Now since I have learned the disadvantage of owning Slider phone, now's the time to reconcile to the Candybar phones... Huhuhu! :-(

  • always been a fan of nokia and i still am they make good quality phones, except for this... had this phone (6280 slide) for nearly 18 months it was great for the first 13 months... then the phone began to freeze, switch off on its own, disallowed the taking of video/camera photographs would not allow viewing of previously recorded video. parts from within the phone have come loose crossing wires inside (i suspect) switching off and on the backlit display continuously. it was a good phone while it was working!!

  • have this phone for 2 years.simply the best.buy original,unlock.

  • why is it that if u have more than 260 songs, u won`t be able 2 play the songs above 260 from ur music player

  • I had this phone for nearly two years now, and it's the best phone i'v ever had. but some a..hole stole it from me about one month ago and now i was looking for another phone, maybe 6500 slide or n95 or something like that. but so far all the new phones that came out in the last year are just not like the good old 6280. now i'm gonna get me another 6280. the price has fallen a lot since 2006 and where i'm from i can get it for just about 100�.

  • I had this phone and had software problems no one could fix. It was very nice phone till the software went bad. I love nokia and i'm planning to get the n93i. Anyone have any opinions?

  • awsomeeeee phoneeeee :X

  • Nokia must of had improved it with the latest versions of 6280 but still i dont like this phone....

  • Have had 2 of these phones, 1 for myself and one for my other 1/2, for the past 2 years. 1 is the greatest phone ever, the other is a piece of junk. What does this tell you?

  • nokia 6280??? best phone on his class slider super ok camera function ok blitz problem bur in rest super....software problems with old versions but now ok...i recomend this phone....had 3 of them and it never let me down

  • I am not able to install any applications on my 6280 guys. When I try to download any app, it says 'Application Source Unknown. Continue?'. And when I say continue, the app is downloaded but after download is done, it says Invalid application. Could someone gimme a solution?

  • smart...i like it...

  • Right well this is my story with this Phone te 6280 i got it in 2006 thinking it would be a great phone. it wasnt at all the software is rediculous, it restarts with a 1GB Memory card and even with the loads of pictures the slider = Loose the Screen Cover = Loose and falling off Dust is under the display aswell. the battery life is 30 Mins ..dont even try to put Music on..the battery would die the minute the music comes on! the Camera isnt soo good its Average but not good. its nothing compared to Samsung/SE's all in all .since iv had all those problems with it , iv never used it once ! i traded it in for a SE W850i and i gotta admit i made the RIGHT MOVE to the Right COMPANY SE Rock!!!!!!! SE 4 Lyf!!!

  • Great phone thats it.....

  • its simply superb..specially camera is koooool..i've been using it for nearly two years..and all this time i was thinking why i cant use the front camera..but now i know its used for vedio calls..

  • i use this mob.one year it is to good no any problem camera is very good sound, battery time all things are very good i like this phone

  • I have this mobile for almost a year and a half already and I must say that it's really good, very easy to use and not complicated at all. My only concern is that the screen (LCD) of my mobile is easily broken even after a repair. I'm just curious as to why?

  • my blitz works at the photo cam, but at the video cam doesn't work.what should i do the make him work?:-??:D

  • hey canany 1 help me how is nokia 6280 should i buy it or not and i have heard theres memory card problem what u say about it

  • i got this phone about a year ago and it is a good phone. i don't really like complicated phones and this phone is really simple and straightforward so its not too bad. the design could be improved but overall i would give it an 8/10 :)

  • my phone ok but i need to format it and i need hard formatting and also soft formatting

  • I've had this phone for 6months now... its a very good phone. Game & software downloads work everytime... I have mig33, mxit, operamini, pdfviewer, excel viewer, mobile bible, mobile dictionary.. my phone is fully-loaded! the only downside is the memory... it blacksout from time-to-time when its over-awed.. and there's no software update on nokia site. 7/10

  • i've had this phone for a year and a half now, and i absolutely love it! very easy to use, with a superb camera for memorable shots (i really dont need super high resolution cam phones for my kid's sudden moves). i've dropped this a couple of times in the past, but it never gave me any problems. i prefer function over techie gadgets, so this will be a phone that i will be using for a very long time.

  • Nokia 6288 camed after 6280 . So read before posting craps.

  • This Phone is a copy from 6288 don't waste ur time and compare

  • is this a good phone to buy? or should i get the nokia 6288

  • had this phone for a year, love it, camera is fantastic,imported pics on to computer are excellent resolution, screen size is good for messages, originally used head set to listen to radio but got bored carrying extras around. only recently had a problem with it switching off occassionally........

  • is there any option for usin symbion software in 6280

  • I cant use mxit or mig33 or any of those kind of communication. It tells me to suscribe to packet data. please sum1 tell me how to solve this problem. I m not d only 1 I'v seen quit few sms's concerning this matter.

  • i bought this phone before a year and it is a great phone with a really clear camera and the mp3 sound is great and other things as well. i like this phone becasue it is great.

  • does this phone has fm radio??

  • how should i use its 3g?..there's no options to use its front camera..so,how do i do ?

  • da front camera is 4 video callin

  • I like this phone, its mp3 sounds fantastic and other features are also good in of. but any one can tell me how to use its front camera???

  • i do not like this phone, eveytime i used it it turns off for no reason, if you are think of getting this phone, change your mind :D and its fat!

  • been using this phone for a year now. I have no complaints using this phone. I am satisfied with it and it shows no defects on the slide mechanism. i have downloaded lots of themes, screen savers, games ringtones and even installed bluetooth remote application and its useful. The camera can't be compared with a dedicated digicam but it can capture those priceless moments once in a while. right now i am using 1gb memory card and is planning to upgrade it to 2gb so as too save more media files. those who are complaining that this handset sucks, well too bad coz i think you purchased a defective unit...

  • its quite a nice fone though poor in battery charge meter.But performs quite well. I need to know about what that 3g

  • its a nice fone the problem is it likes switching off

  • Hi...a nice to all...i got this phone from a friend swapping my nokia 6600 + a cash to get this owesome phon....it works all, the camera is much clearer than n70 series...and it can handle 2gb memory and it works nicely....this phone is one of the best phon which nokia company made....thanks...

  • I bought this phone I realy found it spectacular it also support 2GB memory card and mad a lot of pics from it works perfectlly but any one can tell me front camera how does it activate.

  • Had this phone for about 6 months, my dad also bought the same phone 2 months later, he had terrible problems with it crashing and the screen going blank after 3 months of buying it, my phone works perfectly except for once a week it will decide to turn itself off, (really really annoying if you use it for alarms) so even though this is a great looking phone and its camera and screen are great, its really unreliable, trust me don't buy this phone unless you're obsessed with it!

  • Nice fone,but suddenly the whole fone went off,repaired but still went off again why

  • i got this phone two days ago.i really love this phone but can anybody tell me can my phone read a 2gb card.i already have 1gb. it runs perfectly..

  • Can you watch 320*240 (QVGA) videos at 25 fps on this phone ?

  • Tis phone suckZzZ!..my boyfriend buy tis handphone for me..i care about tis phone so much, but then, suddenly something annoyed me when the camera start to disfunctioned..i have to pay rm300 above to repair tis handphone..as a student, it cost me a lot, thinking about the loss of money, im considering to sold tis handphone(not yet but soon)..hope i can have a more good and useful handphone..

  • Yes, 1gb cards no problem. I have one and works great!

  • bad reciption

  • the 6280 was a great phone... til about a year for me.. the phone camera couldn't be started, after having looked on the internet this problem has occured to many many people.. i asked nokia to fix and it cost way to much so i have decided to buy a 5310 for now.. and soon i will buy a better phone

  • can 6280 support a 256,512,or 1 gig memory card?^^

  • and another thing..do you guys noticed that when u on the flash light while taking pics in the dark,the light of the flash seems to bother the pic on the right side of the image taken.is this normal?

  • i've been using this phone for 1 year + and still using it,and yeah i agree about the "sim card registration failed" thingy,and also losing the coverage at times.after afew months i'm using it,the sliding seems to be an issue.its not smooth like it used to.apparently its not loosen up,but its getting rougher from time to time.and also,i have to wait up to about 2 minutes waiting for it to restart,and i think most of the nokia models facing the same problem too right?but so far upon 10,i'd give 6.5 for this model.

  • My only problem if I preview the video sometimes the screen goes blank and turn off. The internal antenna is a piece of crap. I'm using a 1gb memory. Can I use a 4gb mini SD ??? Please response anybody. Thanks

  • It's a nice phone and Nokia is the best phone producting company till date, but the phone is a bit substandard for them...in terms of the battery life and ruggedness.

  • This is the worst phone I have ever had. Great features and easy on the eye, but it is always saying 'sim card registration failed' or simply losing reception. Absolutely useless, cannot be relied on, have several friends who have experienced same problems.

  • it doesn't support .sis files because those file are for symbian nokia not for bb5 platform:-P prostule

  • hey mac! u just have to check on your network mode if it is set to dual /umts mode; operator selection: automatic; of course loc must be under 3g coverage area; ur sim must be provided w/ video call service(contact ur network provider); also both parties shoul meet above details; :)

  • hi guys, i have the same problem like hellhound... i don't have anymore free phone memory.. i have nothing in the phone memory, but the phone is "telling me" that 7 mb are used... how can i resolve this... please help... i'm getting started nervous... thanks...

  • i have had this phone for 3 years and i havn't encountered any problem on this yet.. for others who experienced no signel, etc, pls. do basic troubleshooting first.. this is one cool phone that i wud not trade to any other new phones.. :)

  • how can i use video calling..i just bought my new 6280 mobile..and i still dont know how can i use video call..im from hognkong at the moment..do i have the right sim to used video call or do i have to register my fone please help!!

  • hi guys.i'm having problems with the phone memory.i transferred an mp3 from another phone.after receiving the file i moved it to my sd card.then transferred another song. and my phone restarted. i know its because of the phone memory is very low. but i already moved or deleted some files that are not needed.is there a way to change the default storage to memory card?and to flash the memory?the phone does not ask me where to put the file.it always goes straight to the phone memory.PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!!!!i don't want to sell this phone.THANKS IN ADVANCE!

  • ok basically this fon has a gud camera and nice screen but sadly the software and the battery r not so gud afterall. havin dis fon for bout 1yr nw and hav repaired it bout 4 times! (mostly de ribbon of de slider and the software). sound is considerably ok...not bad. battery has to be charged at least twice a day if u're gonna listen to music and answer calls..

  • I got a prepaid 6280 nokia on optus 3g ,i live in the country and swicthed from cdma.the only prob is my son lost my 3g sim that came with the phone, so optus told me to just buy another one,the only thing is you can't buy 3g sim cards on prepaid yet ,i need the coverage as it is a work phone and with a normal sim card in it my signal is poor.If anyone can help please email me at [email protected] it will be worth your while thanks

  • Yes the battery life is not good. If you use it in some random mode. You will must lose your battery. I used this phone since 2 years. After one year i had to change the battery. But the screen is just like the new one. It's still great. And the photo taken by it can be compared to any nokia 2 mp camera phone. It has no problem. Oh, the slider jammed? Clean the metal stick of the back side of the slider. It'll be ok. Not so bad that some one expressed. It has one problem that i think that it has on symbian os system. Good luck everyone. Use with care be happy. Bye bye

  • When I bought this phone it worked really well.The Camera is very excellent and when pics are printed its still good quality. Only problem was a scratchy sound on the erarpiece sometimes when I makde a call or received a call.I have it now for 14 months and the thing will not even switch on.First is starte to swtich of by itself. The the slider started to jam. Then the screen backlight never came on. Then the screen got inverted and it looked as if I was looking in a mirror as everything was upside down. Now it will not come on at all. I would say stay away from this phone. Oh and the battery life just got worse after a few months. I had to charge it everyday. I had a SONY ERRICSON K700i that I used for 2 years and had no issues with. Infact all my SONY ERRICSONS I had and have work well. I am going back to SONY ERRICSON. Bottom line its that THIS PHONE IS TROUBLESOME AFTER A FEW MONTHS and afte the warranty it over it DIES COMPLETELY.

  • Very bad phone. Loosing network, some messages like "sim card registration failed", changed hybrid... what can I say? Bad reputation for Nokia...

  • Dear cibri there is nothing to do about the backlight problem. For the camera problem go to camera settings and enter to image preview. Set that manually to your choice. It will be ok. Good luck.

  • Dear shatil press the upper right button & hold to use the voice dial. Good luck.

  • how I can change the time of my message light.its so short I cant even read my message??where shoul I go to change it?pls,explain me step by step. when I take a pic it doesnt save them,it sais CAMERA is ON STANDBY,whats the prob? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESAE HELP PEOPLE,my PHONE's GONNA DIE... :(

  • its ok,quit rugged for a slide; but i wonder why the contrast cant be regulated...cool sha

  • How can i use VOICE DIAL?Please help.

  • This was my worst fone ever.. I was so in love wit this phone when suddenly the keypad button stopped wrking.. i paid like 40 bucks and gt it fixed.. then abt 2 wks later it stopped wrking again.. Was so pissed.. then finally the worst problem came.. The camera spoilt.. Each time i on my camera, the whole phone shuts off.. A few of my frens oso had prob wit this fone.. Trust me, dun bother wit this junk.. Get a betta fone.. Even though it will wrk perfectly well iniially, as time passes problems arise..

The screen color turns different (like green on the Zen Theme turns violet). It turns black also. The upper left side keys are so difficult to manipulate as they trigger the hanging of the phone's system. It's so unbelievable and frustrating that this happened to my 6280 since I give this the utmost care. I even bought a plastic crystal cover for it because I dont want it scratched. I want to try to have this phone reformatted but I don't seem to see any available code to do so. *#7370# doesnt work although they say this is like the default code for nokias to reformat. Does anyone out there know how to reformat a Nokia 6280 using codes??? Pleeeeease help..

  • hi, I have downloaded the songs but they went to the memory card and when i want to move them to the music player it tells me that there is not enough memory there cos there were 3 factory loaded songs there that i cannot delete.This is frustrating when you want to play the music, it means after every song you have to manually start another one or pres the button when you can just set it to play all at once.Please help.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PHONE! MORE TROUBLE THEN IT'S WORTH! My birthday is soon..and belive you me.. I am not going to ask 4 a nokia! this phone has turned me sour 2wards nokia's!

  • How can i install Flash Lite 1.1 on my Nokia 6288?

  • Is there anyone out there who knows how to format N6280? I know how to restore the phone's factory setting, but what i really need to know is how to hard reset/ format the device. Thanks in advance.

  • I've got this mobile from a friend.But I can't use it because it says 'enter the restriction code'. :((

  • Awesome phone.. had a few Nokias but this one is simple easy and stylish. I recently found new cases for them. only problem i have is with my sim card de-registering and then it asks for a registration code. after a turn off and on it is all good. can get them from the Australia Post for $300 now. I am on a plan but I dont mind. Do recommend a hard cover for it though to keep the screen nice. Love it Nokia!!

  • ...........Bought this phone about 10 months ago, sometimes it freezes, but overall good telephone. The response is slow, also the slide movement needs improvement, it opens too easily...camera quality very bad.........

  • I went to a websit that uses Animated themes for the phone, the animated theme is where you can have like for example a big digital clock in the middle, however even though its posted for the 6280 they don't work it says something to do with changed but 1 or 2 items may not be included or somat, so i don't get the digital clock, i got an upgraded version of the 6280 but does it only work on the 6288 cause thats what i was thinking, can anyone tell me why not compatible.

  • Nokia 6280 compare with the N70 or N90 are the same Function or features, for me i want Nokia6280 than the N70 and N90 beacause of low price but the same with this 2 Nseries

  • fishan sez this fone is ace

  • For what I've learned reading forums and opinions on the web, many problems with the software of the phone are caused by the brandization

  • hw much memory does it hv bcoz ofa websytes r sayin between 70-74mb x

  • does dis fne cum supplied wiv da memory card n usb cable/software? x

  • Hi i used my nokia 6280 for 9 months .Still i used it. i got it in branew and my friend buy it second hand !!!but both phones are work excalent ,,no problems

  • I have had my 6280 for 12 months now and i was very happy in the first couple of months but after the so called 'honeymoon period' i have experienced nothing but problems with it. i love the design and how easy it is to use but there seems to be several problems with the programming. problems i have encountered *Tends to 'lose' the message centre number, therefore not allowing me to send txt msgs or mms'...i know the number off by heart now, i've had to re-program it so many times. *Went through a phase of freezing, going to a blank screen then having a plain white background instead of the wallpaper i had set whenever i tried to use the camera, video camera or watch videos. (had it sent away to fix this) *Occasionally when i go to my inbox it says something like command not authorised, or somethng like that, i go back to the main screen then try again and it works fine *Randomly asks for some sort of code or password when its sitting doing nothing - generally if i turn it off and turn it back on - that disappears (my best friend has the same phone and she had hers sent away to fix this because turning it off then on didnt fix it, even when she left it off overnight) *And the most recent one...if i receive calls, i cant hear them but they can hear me, and if i make a call i can hear them but they can't hear me ...have had enough and am going back to where i bought it and going to nicely suggest they replace it or i no longer have pay the $10 per month that i have to on my 24month plan 1 other issue, the screen of the cover seems to be too weak to cover the space it does because i am on my second screen and it breaks too easily...put it in my handbag at the start of work, go back at the end - maybe my bag was dropped or something...massive crack across the screen of the cover! very disapointed...i don't want it anymore...and am losing faith in nokia! =(

  • can you guys help me to adjust my phone i have this since dec 2006. since then i cannot determined what time the message received eventhough i adjust the time zone already.can someone tell me what to do.please and lastly is there anyway i can do to have a clear shot during night time?please send a message or something thank you

  • Hi I got this from my uncle...he used it extensively. But now I think this phones bluetooth is not working...no other phone or device find it...and also it's slider became defected...and it's branded of 3 mobile..is there a way I can unbrand it????you can email me...

  • This phone is the biggest pile of junk I have ever had the misfortune to own. After 3 days I started to have the following faults: Dust under the screen; sim card won't register; back keeps dropping off; hands-free set suddenly stopped working; charger won't work unless the phone is dangling up-side-down; battery life poor; phone keeps switching off; keeps losing signal and so on and so on. Nokia know there are problems but refuse to do anything about it. I'll have another Nokia phone when hell freezes over.

  • This is the greatest phone ive ever had. I could not recommend it more. The sliding is perfect, the display crystal-clear and the sound quality excellent! The buttons have a feel that makes you WANT to use them more. The 2MP camera is also great, it captures the finest details of an area and in dark places you can turn on the flash or night mode. The video quality is really, really good. The email client is cool but i use Morange ( ) *note: please register on morange with that link : D . All in all the Nokia 6280 kicks ass. And for all you kids working hard to impress your parents for one, keep working. It's worth it!!!

  • Hello. I've had this phone for over a year (the no brand version), and I'm still using it. It is very simple to use, texting sms is very fast and the reception is good (much better than motorola v635, the phone I used to have before). Pictures are not great, and it is very slow to take a picture, even if it has no autofocus, but videos are FANTASTIC. It is slow when loading the content of the memory card, but works fine with a 2Gb card, and it is very easy to connect to pc, and you can use it as a storage device (if you have got a memory card), but pc keeps giving me message errors every time I disconnect the phone. After 1 year of VERY intensive use, now the phone looks to have some troubles: sometimes display becomes dark for some seconds, and when the image came back, it displays everything upside down for a few seconds. But it may be my fault: I stress it a lot. Very good phone!!!

  • this is my fone for almost 9 months. sometimes im having a problem or error with that. the fone is restarting & prone to virus. very sensitive software & now im planning to trade this into N73. :) -this is TRIDA from Philippines hi everyone!!! mwah

  • I just bought new nokia 6280. Although the phone is fine. I hv installed Opera Web Browser but it is not working. While setting the Opera the message appears "Subscribe to Package Data First"and aborts whereas with its internal web browser it is working fine. If anyone using Opera on this phone Pls suggest the remedy. Thanks

  • It is a very nice phone. One will love to have it. But It lacks in software part. Media player is not included in the phone and default media player is of no use.

  • This is an amazing phone,the features are wonderfull,the style is also wonderful. I think nokia has outdone itself...

  • Due to heavy use and me being clumsy my phone is looking a bit old and has developed a few quirks...(It turns itself off if I close the slider two quickly). Does anyone know any sellers in Australia who are still selling it? I really like the phone, and would prefer to get the same one, but most mobile providers in Aus are no longer selling it. Any ideas?

  • How can i upgrade d firmware without goin to Nokia service center..

  • i love this phone. good design. easy to use. good batt life. almost all that u would need in a good phone. (well, i would want it to have wifi though). but one of best phones i EVER had!

  • hi guys pls HELP me first of all my phone awesome but there is a lot of dust coming inti my phone's screen iwant to know that whethew there is any software to play WMA format songs pls answer me THANKYOU

  • Lost reception or n0 signal bar everytime i open mp3player or playing games. And keep resetting itself..this ph0ne is crazy just like me hehehe..NOKIA should also recall this ph0ne hehehe lol

  • Do u know where can i get higher versi0n firmware? Coz mine is v3.80..can i upgrade over the air OTA? Downloading Tru gprs

  • a very good phone indeed.Easy to use,camera is good and so as the reception.

  • Let me start by saying I am a big big fan of Nokia, so much so I have had nothing but Nokia for 15 years now. I Recieved this model some 10 months ago, and I have to say the 6280 has been nothing short of pants! Sure it looks nice but not at all built to last! Lets start with the basics, The plastic casing is very cheap and has turned brittle. As a result the back cover is always falling off spilling battery out at every opportunity. The sliding cover never stays closed whether that be in your pocket or handbag and dust collects under the screen, which is impossible to get out. I have several keys that actually dont work anymore, the phone has developed a problem when charging and just today the lens fell out of the camera!! The phone seems to have a mind of its own, switching off when it feels like it, defaulting on wallpapers and ringtones just weird!! As a contract customer I usually receive a new phone every 12 months, and in return hand mine down to friends and family, but not this time. Its fair to say I think its a gona, so have upgraded to the 6300?

  • my nokia 6280 is good but every time i turn it on it sends a message to no one does anyone know why?

  • hi i want to know about the phone browser... is it possible to surf like in computer? info here shows that it has an xHTML browser.. i hav used a 3250 and cud surf(eg,Orkut!) almost all sites like in PC.. (3250 is havin a HTML browser).. so pls reply all those using GPRS net thru this phone. :)

  • can sone one tell me where the pop port is and is it as it reads a port that pop out but i have looked for it and i can not find it thanks

  • everytime i use musicplayer for a long period of time the phone hangs it appears on the screen check connection setting can you help me to solve these problems do i need to purchase a higher memory card my present memory card is 128mb

  • Had my 6280 for about 15 months, still in good condition, only things that bug me are that you can't make ur own playlist on ur music player (if u can plz tell me how!!), there's no percentage bar when sendin stuff e.g songs and the dusty screen!!! considerin gettin an E65 to replace it, is it worth it???

  • this is avery good looking phone and it has class atached to it.

  • I own this phone now for over a year now, and it's still working perfectly, like on the day i bought it. so far no errors and no malfunctions and i accidentaly droped the phone several times on the floor, once it fell down the stairs and it still like new. To NOKIA - thanx for the perfect phone.

  • to format ur fone or memory card??

  • The front cover is also removable. Slide the phone up, then use your fingernail to open one side of the cover at the very top of the sliding mechnism. When you pop it out a little, use a swiss knife or something on the other side(on the top of the rail), and then GENTLY keep opening it all the way down. To put it back on you first have to insert the two little plastic holders at the bottom of the front cover into their place at the bootom of the front side of the phone, and then gently press the cover all the way up. It takes only a few seconds to do this when you get the hang of it, but dont try this if you are not sure because you can damage the slider if you apply too much force. The inner side of the screen and the inner part of the cover are very soft so it would be smart to clean it with a soft brush or something.

  • at 6mb internal it would be 2 songs @ 3mb per song

  • how to format this phone

  • gr8tst fne f its tme stil gud 2 gv d n series a run for der $$$$$$$$$$

  • How do i clean the screen,lots of dust inside..hello vacuum cleaner! Lol

  • approxamitley how many songs can it hold ?

  • hello!!! 6280 cut and nice. but i have a doubt. Whether this phone can be charged thru the USB mode. pls inform me...

  • how much memory can it hold

  • Not bad phone, not much on it for the price, but I got hold of it for free anyway? Spud

  • Phone is alright for free I guess, buttons to small for the screen size, and the camera could be better for this sort of phone. But what can I say I got it for free anyway. SPUD

  • hi i am buyin this fone (august 07) is this fone really good and is the slider really not good abnd flimsy can u plz email me on [email protected]

  • Very good phone, too bad it is made of cheap plastic, slider is ok, very loud earphone, average camera. Cannot select and send many objects by bluetooth, must do it one by one. I have one for nine months and it feels like new.

  • I've had this phone for nearly a year now and it's a good phone. Nice sound quality, good music and video playback, and very easy to use. It slides open and closed like a dream which I thought would maybe break after a while. The internet goes much quicker when using a 3G SIM card, i've yet to make a video call though. The only things I don't like about this phone is the fact that the screen gets dust on it under the front screen cover, also the camera isn't all that good in darker situations, and for some reason, the buttons on the front to the right (right soft key and end call key) don't seem to light up anymore. The battery life could be longer, but i'm happy with it. Overall it's responsive and not bad to use for a non-smartphone.

  • I'm very concerned about the functionality of this phone. It doesnt receive mms correctly, the speaker is a problem sometimes.

  • This is weird... Actually, this phone was already "disapear" months ago, almost every store and major distribution point had already stop selling 6280. I remembered, i called many stores but all they could said was they already had no 6280 anymore, only 6288 available. But then, just last week, suddenly 6280 appeared in one newspaper ad. Being curious, i asked one major phone distribution co in my country, and they said it's true, 6280 can be found in shop again now. so strange... I am just so curious, are they just cleaning up all their last 6280s stock, or Nokia really reproduce again 6280, with newer firmware and improvements for sure... Maybe they were so ashamed with these errors as the former 6230, 62301 known as pioneer in it's class. ( as i heard from one shop owner here) I am really really curious... cos if Nokia really want to reduce on 6280 errors, it is so great... as this phone looks nicer than 6288 and more cheaper. anyone who bought the new 6280 recently could give me a little bit review... :) hope u all have a great day, Nytro

  • Hi me again The camera is very good though and it slides smoothly

  • This phone is rubbish i hate it and i cant get a new one till next year cuz i only got it afew months ago i have dropped it maybe twice and they havn't been bad ones. It switches off by itself when i try to switch it on it doesnt it wont let me read my messages it stops playing music half way through it says sim card invalied when it is clearly not do not get this phone it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying.

  • the G icon jus means you are either getting 3g singal dont worry u dont ned to surf the net to get it .

  • I had this cellphone for 3 monthly only. I am getting the G icon on the top of the screen always but i am not browsing any site. I read the manual and it tells there that if you are getting the G icon that means that you are using the GPRS. My second problem is the profile always went back to the default settings everytime i turn it off and on. And the pictures in the memory got corrupted. And when i am checking the time when my friend sent me a message it won't show the right time in message details. I am very upset.

  • I have had a 6280 for about a month now and think it's great, really easy to use and have not experienced any of the problems previous users have stated. 10/10 has far as I'm concerned.

  • just wondering can i flash-off the 6280's firmware and use/install the 6288's?? thanks

  • i would NEVER EVER get a 6280 ever again i'm on my 5th and my bf is on he's 4th, as all they do is freeze, blackout, end in a middle of a call,sound like your under water,and the battery life is even worse. you can charge it up all night and then it will die after 1 call.Even when you send it to be fixed they still are rubbish and all the same things still happen on them.I've never had such a bad phone as this, i know of lots of people who have the same problems as i have. Dont bother and waste your money thats all i'll say because they are not worth it.

  • Hi, To all of u who happened had experience using both 6280 and 6288, please please help me to decide which one is better. Frankly speaking, 6288 is equipped with more powerfull battery Lion 1100mh, but somehow... i am more comfortable with 6280 appearance. The combination of silver and black in 6280 looks more appealing than in 6288 black. The joystick,the hearing hole in the top of the phone, the keypad in 6280 looks more nice to me. Guys, please tell me what to choose, as many said 6288 is better as it has many improvement from the original 6280. Can u give me the comparison review from sliding mechanism, audio/sound, 2mpx cam, the software, and so on... I am so afraid, just because of my shallowness could lead me into feeling regret in the end, cheers, Nytro

  • Hello, my nokia 6280 is good phone in it's sharp picture it is so fast in working but it does not have the symbian operating system & it's camera is bad sometimes in night can anyone help! Thanks..

  • Hello, my nokia 6280 is good phone in it's sharp picture it is so fast in working but it does not have the symbian operating system & it's camera is bad sometimes in night can anyone help! Thanks..

  • its not bad from my point of veiw the bad thing is that wen u tke da back cover off it reveals da camera! THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE NOKIA 6288 AND THE 6280 ITS JUST THAT DA 88 IS SLIMMER!BII keep it locked

  • The camera on the front is only for video calls. It doesn't turn on otherwise.

  • can anyone plz tell me how to switch to d VGA cam which is in d front as i can't c any option which allows us o activate d front secondary cam.. plz reply

  • I've had mine for a year now, and ignoring a few little hiccups I love it. The camera is really good quality for a mobile camera and the phone is fast. Once I worked out how to turn the ugly active display off, I really loved the look of the phone, including the little shortcut icons on the main screen. Only I have with it is the dictionary doesn't seem to save words most of the time. It's decided to save a few words, (mainly swear words!)but the rest it just ignores and I have to type them in everytime. Sometimes it turns itself off randomly. The screen goes all multicoloured lines then fades to black. Strange stuff. But it only happens rarely so it's not a huge problem. After a year of use the call speaker has become a tad tempremental, which means I cannot hear people when they call me, but it's nothing a few (hard) taps against my desk doesn't fix. Excluding the three things wrong with it, the phone is great. Is currently storing about 200 text messages (including MMS's), and I've just upgraded to a 1gb memorycard so I can hold more music.

  • Re comment for Joel, I am on 3 network which roams with Telsra. I have had no problems as you have mentioned and my phone is working fine after 18 months of heavy use now. Maybe you didn't pay your bill??

  • I have had this phone for a year and a half and none of the problems which the person who wrote about 5 comments below has happened to my phone. Not to say it couldnt. The only problems were the battery life depleting to quick, (replacement battery $30 genuine) and a new screen and software upgrate at a cost of $140. Also aftermarket covers let too much dust in and fall apart. Recommend genuine nokia for replacement here.

  • i have been using this phone for more than an year now... as far as i see the only probem i encountered was that the volume is not loud enough.. that's all... as i read through the comments and the faults, all i can realize is that most of them have problems with it because of the lack of knowledge of handling the phone.. this has worked for me for 15 months, no probs... the camera is pretty good for a 2MP. i highly recommend it to people who are looking for phone which has all the general features and is economical....

  • thank you for verifying that this fone is great but the only thing the speaker isent loud enuf but i strongley recmend it seeya

  • I've been using this phone for over a year , i think, and so far it's easy to use, has almost everything i'm looking for. EXCEPT, auto focus and pdf reader. so far i'm happy with it :)

  • Ive been using this phone for 11 months now the only problem that i enountered relates to the network it sometimes lose network but otherwise is one of the Good phone.

  • This phone is absolutely hopeless, I know about 4 people who have bought this phone and have bought a new phone within a year dues to the problems they have had. These are just a few of the problems i have heard: camera button after 1 year does not work main toggle button freezes entire phone freezes for no reason slide got stuck unable to make calls or stay connected during calls microphone faulty Just dont buy it there is so much better out there

  • I am facing some problems with my Nokia 6280. It's profiles sets to default automatically, moreover if I select phone memory still after sometimes it automatically selects both phone and sim memory it causes two numbers for each. Ringtone volume too low. Battery sustains for only one day. Camera quality is too good comapred to other 2 mega piexel camera phones.

  • i had this phone for the best part of a year on the 3 network, and have to give you a warning, if like me, your mobile is on 24/7 then watch out for the screen craking, battery not lasting for a 10 min conversation after just coming off charge, it self rejecting calls, switching off and not turning on, again, just after coming off charge. it not recognising the memory card, it not finding other bluetooth devices, msg not getting sent etc. 3 said to me that these phones go through checks, yet on the same day i got it, it had to be sent to the 3 repairs team due to a fault. so to end, would i buy another nokia? no. with this mobile they have rewind the good image nokia had with me, and i now use a sony ericsson, which is more upto date and more problem free.

  • i would like to ask is my nokia 6280 capable if i will upgrade my mini SD to 1GB? thank you....

  • Re comment from joel: it uses a mini sd card. They come in 64mb, 512mb, 1gb and 2gb as far as I am aware. Hope this helps.

  • After sorting out some software problems(under warranty) and a new screen and battery (just outside the warranty period) the 6280 is a lot more phone than what was offered at the time I purchased and was in my opinion a good choice. I am however looking forward to an upgrade in the coming months to something like a N95 or K850. Who knows, there might be something much better on the market by then.

  • what video type is supported by this cell i mean mpeg4 or smartmovies....

  • After this phone is with me for 7 1/2 months, it got stolen at a high class mall last sunday june 24, 2007. -x- i was sad that i really let it go to that thief. anyway, i was planning to sell that phone & buy a 6120/6121 classic soon. so, at least it didn't stole my 6680 too. i like my 6680 better than the 6280 when it comes to performance. 6280 has no ram at all so it hangs, restarts often. even just a little amount of files stored i'm very much careful in opening applications. but in features, 6280 is a good one. :] hell that thief sure be a lucky one to use my 3G baby now. but i have no regrets in letting it go like that. coz what i'm after a phone now is it has RAM & good performance [e.g NOKIA 6120, NOKIA 5700]

  • this phone is great..i like da pic qualities a lot and all other functions work pretty well 2...however the sliding mechanism of this phone is really sux..da spring inside is so fragile and break easily..shame on u NOKIA

  • 6280 is cheaper and more annoying 6288 is a little bit more expensive but worth it. its way better than 6280.

  • hi guyz! can anybody tell me what's the difference between 6280 and 6288? which is the better phone? please help

  • I wanted to know if somebody knows, if in this phone I can use some office accesories like PDF (adobe) reader, word reader etc, and how the downloading and using of them goes... thanx

  • This is a much better phone than the 6680 although it uses a lesser symbian 40 OS, It has all the features and its a much much quicker and much more stable phone, Best of all the nokia's I've used... I have Google maps, msn messenger and Opera running on it much faster than the 6680

  • I've had this phone for nearly 12 month now, it started off well but now i get problems where it freezes sometimes when you select the name at the top to do text messages, sometimes when playing songs the screen goes white and back on again, and the reception goes off and its quicker switching it off and back on again then doing manual roam, i don't have major problems with it just annoying when it freezes doing text messages. My mate said his sometimes tells him network blocked and has to switch off and back on. To all the people that are asking about the front camera, you can't use this for taking photos the only time this comes into effect if for if your doing video calling.

  • diz fon vry gud...unfortunately sumone told me diz fon is dual camera...but ashley said no front camera..which one is corect???

Would not recommend this phone to anyone. wouldnt give it to a friend for free. strait to the bin as soon as i replace it; probably with another Nokia LOL

  • does any1 no if you can get other coloured cases for the 6270 other than black im sick and tired of the colour, it makes the phone boring. on a bad note my keypad 1-4-7-* stopped working for some reason so dialling numbers or sending txts have been very difficult, luckily i have a couple of months on warranty left.

  • Stylish fone with good functionality but what a load of rubbish. I experienced nothing but problems. It just switches off and reboots for no reason, freezes up. The back cover is very flimsy and the whole fone cannot take even the slightest of knocks. The backlight even gave up. It is less than 1 year and so far has needed a new battery and charger. I like nokia but not this one.

  • This is without a shadow of a doubt, THE WORST PHONE EVER CREATED !!...ppl, don't use this sad excuse for a mobile phone...a total disgrace to the Nokia brand...i sold mine off at half price after 4 days using it as I could not even stand the sight of that thing...

  • I had this phone for more than a year now, the only problem i faced was of it's week software i bought it, or nokia launched it with, but after i update this software, i didnt face any problem with it till now. Actually i do love it and concider it one of the nicest cell i ever had, beside i wont sell it if i wanna have another phone. so if you're thinking of buying it, u may check before you buy it on it's software whether it's updated or not, if not let the seller update it for you. Good luck.

  • no front camera and no option of changing themes

  • If your phone says not enough memory then change to the basic nokia theme then change to the theme you want to change to.

  • Oi! Is this normal for 6280 to become little floppy after few days of usage? Or this is normal for every slider? Apart from this inconvenience the phone is awesome!

  • to Chloe get it Sim/free unlocked it will have NO problems.

  • I have had my phone for about 11 months now. I loved it- it was great. About 3 months ago it started falling to bits (literally!), the front cover came off (its currently stuck on with pritt-stick...) the back cover cracked and has a big hole in it. it freezes a lot and randomly turns off. i hate it!!

You said if i get it sim free then it should be alright which i am, but i come from australia and i watched a review by an australian woman who had, had this phone for 3 months and it hadnt played up at all. So im pretty confused =S someone please re assure me!

  • This phone is BAD only if you get it on CONTRACT pay monthly .the companys weaken the phone and take software out of it. if 6280 is bought Sim/free Unlocked it works better and performs better. highly reccomended to buy this phone provided its Sim/free unlocked.

  • Thank 4 the tip leejoe2 i've done it but still the same msg appear memory full delete some data... all my music and pic i store in my memmory card..... i dont know what happend

  • To Momoo Have u transferred your stuff to your memory card? Your fone doesn't do it automatically. Move pictures & music etc over to your card and you should be okay.

  • Hey people, this phone is good, loud MP3, good/fast camera overall everything is good, apart from that is breaks down once a week. Just dont buy it! Unless u dont mind sending it away every freakin week! I've takin' mine back 5 times, its terrible!

  • lol i got a motorola v3x for free from my friend and traded it for nokia 6280. It has great video recording, just bad sound recording. If any of you like 2 mega pixel video recorder phones, i prefer this one. the video quality is really good and not laggy like my old motorola v3x. This phone get too much dust under the screen also, good thing i know how to open the cover.

  • some one plz help me. i got my 6280 5-6 months now. strange things are happening to me from my 6280.key padlock, my blutooth off, infared off, my 6280 download data several times that cost me over �150.i never try or make no attemp to download data and uses t-zone on my mobile. battry dont last for a day, it start dropping calls when talking. it shut down then rebooth itself. i sat at a table all by myself with my 6280 infront of me with slide close key padlock on, blutooth off, inferad off some one call saying that i just rang their number. i didnt call any one.i check my last call dial only to see that my 6280 did call the number from my contact without me making the call. reply to me any one plz

  • This is a great phone! I love using it. This phone has the best video and imaging for a 2 mega pixel camera (except for very close-up and macro shoots). It's video quality beats even n73(which has a 3mp cam). Check n73 review if u don't believe me!! All about this phone is great but but but.... only one feature let this phone down!!!! and i consider that feature of utmost importance (for me!!). The disappointing thing about it is you won't be able to send international sms from this mobile. i don't know what's wrong with this mobile but it doesn't allow to send int sms. If i'm the only one unlucky to have this problem then i must be really very unlucky. Does anyone out there have the same problem??? I guess no has ever cared for this!!! Newys.. everything else is gr8 about this phone!!!!!

  • please tell me if anibody know which procesor has 6280?????

  • erm any1 changing from this to other phone, but still miss it's features and capabilities, i urge you to consider for nokia new 6288, a correction to this crap phone. much better slider, same feature with added bonus, same huge screen and comes in full black colour. :0 ty

  • This phone is a piece of crap as the other opinions reads... DONT buy this. After a year with lots of struggle to get the software sorted out, I need to buy a new phone. Thanks heaven my insurance pay out... this is really the worst phone of Nokia. What can I buy now? I feel like looking to a other brand eg Sony Ericsson or is there still good Nokia phones??? Please help!

  • I just got this fone nd its doing just fine but how can i get an anti virus

  • too bad in some countries, they sell defective 6280 handsets because here in our country, we get good quality phones! take that!

  • i thought this phone was RUBBISH! after the first week or two i had to send it back because it asked me for my activation code which was none of the numbers the shop told me when i rang them up!so with this i was not able to acces/use my phone.then i got a new one and the problem happened again then i managed to swap the memory card for a bigger size allowing me to manage moe files on it.a couple of months later another problem accured causing me to not be able to listen to music through headphones soo off again i sent it back to be replaced. after 3 weeks i retrived my phone but the same problem accured!by this time i was really annoyed! sent it off they gave me a new phone, even with this phone i still have alot of problems with the activation code and it switches off and will not turn on and lots of others! i am not able to change my phone because i have not had it for a year:(

  • the phone is a pice of trash that nokia must have found in a drain. my fone forever just goes dead, the slide doesnt work, itsw just a piece of crap.

  • Also like the N80.. a great phone till you need certain features.. My phone was bought new and not misstreated.I took it into a NPRC (Nokia Phone Repair centre) They said it had been bent or twisted the board was beyond repair.The user of this phone is a 54 yr old lady with more respect for things than I.. Im sure it was just them not wanting to replace it under the warrantee. Stay clear of this model is good advice they all will have problems at some point. As the N series of phones Nokia still insist on lettin these phones flood the market to beat other phone makes, before they let them out they should use them to see where the faults are. As stated by someone else there not cheap handsets.My N80 was �400 its now worth only 8months on �80 if im lucky because there Rubbish and riddled with faults. COME ON NOKIA get ya life sorted. I would hate to have to change brand but your failing to please me and many 1000's of others. without us you would be out of business.

  • I've had this phone for about 12months now and it's great. I haven't had any problems with the screen, sliding mech or anything else. Has had a beating even survived camping at a music festival and beind kicked in the dirt. Definately the best phone I've ever had, only wish I could get the front cover off so I could get the dust off the screen.

  • When I run the bluetooth device, the phone fail dowun with no way operate it, so I have to agent to fix the problem, for the I canselled the bluetooth from my consideration

  • nokia 6280 one of the best phones that three have brought out 1.it comes at a reasonable price for the features 2. average battery life 2.8 days 3. small and lightweight. 4.memory cards and accesories are cheap for it

  • A great phone so far, had no issues till date. Up to date features for me to use. And is very user friendly too. The phone is all about features in it. Messages options are too good.

  • mine keeps on turning off whenever i used my mp3 or whenever i received a txt msg.

  • Worst phone I've ever had. Sms dictionary won't save new entries, won't charge half the time, switches off itself, freezes and loses coverage for no apparent reason. had it back to my service provider for reinstallation but have totally lost faith in the phone. Get a Nokia 6234, a rock solid phone with no problems.

  • well i think this is an alright phone. the camera isnt create but it is quite fragil. ive dropped it a few times and bought a cover fit for it but i dont know how to get it on help!!

  • 4get 6280 & 6288 ! My latest version(5.92) was crashed too! Just after 4days working & because of sending a sms!!! Shame on NOKIA!

  • The 6280 is awesome msn is the best the phone camera is mad as i like how the phone is setup BUY IT!!!!!

  • this is the worst phone ive ever had never had anything but nokias in my life but now will never use them again. i have porblems with battery, and software. 2 reputable phones shops said they would never stock the new update to it because it is not worth the hassle. u tube even has videos of the phone self combusting and tv programme watchdoghas reported two cases of this very fone exploding in peoples ears. its a lovely phone to look at but dont buy if ud actually like to turn it on and use it

  • i have one of these phones at the moment, screen blacked out, phone keeps turning off when i get messages and it just keeps getting slower and slower. atm i can't even use it cause nothing at all comes up.

  • IT IS THE MOST BEAUTFULL cell that i ever had her camera is the best

  • Worst phone i have ever had. on my 3rd repalcement after 6 months. The battery lasts 48 hrs max (when not used) and less than a day if i try to call/text. This may be down the network provider draining the battery(Hutchinson 3). It also crashes all the time and when browising web the battery indicator shows empty.

  • i think it is good phone coz i am using since 7 month having no problems if some one wana transfer big file than 8 mb than connect with computer throuh cable and transfer data to memory card its camera is very good abd also smart phone what u alls say about this phone reply and also tell the price of the phone regard!!!!

  • u aint lucky this phone rocks they just probly werent careful with it.

  • Absolutely Rubbish had 4 all died within 3months better still i started with an n70 before the 6280's that died in two weeks got this phone had all these issue's then in the space of a month i went through two n73's which also died i am now back to my trusty 6230 and will never get a new NOKIA again

  • Both my sons had 6280 - both blacked out within 5 months. One now kaput altogether. Rubbish phone - avoid at all costs.

  • I'e had this phone for almost a year. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who never had a problem with it...

  • Please do not buy this phone!!you will regret it.have earpiece and mouthpeice problems,doesn't keep its charge,always crashing.they have tried to do too much with this phone.

  • suggy is it true? the phone cant receive file bigger than 8mb via bluetooths?? but 786 say can i not yet try it...... while can the sms save in memory card???

  • Also after reading some other comments I have to add: Memory full message - When receiving via bluetooth the file has to go to phone memory before you move it to memory card. This means that you cannot receive a file larger than the maximum 8mb onboard phone memory. Crap huh?! Software faults: I work in a popular highstreet phone retailer. This phone will undoubtedly have to go for repair within your 12 month warranty. Its a fact. Get used to it. The repair agents will 'the take the time to install the latest software on the handset'. This wont really fix your problems. They cant solve software issues cos Nokia are no longer supporting the model.

  • Have it, hate it, stay away from it at all costs! Never have I seen so many software glitches even on the newest firmware! Nokia really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Having said that if you like your phones to cut out mid-call, freeze when sending sms, cut out during mp3 playback, and have less than 30% bluetooth sending success rate, then this phone is for you!

  • yes lo 786 how to save sms in memory card.. i cant find it

  • can someone tell me can i watch tv trou his 3g

  • i almost forgot - the battery lasts for six days if i talk normaly, five if there is more too say. so please do not talk about the battery is poor or weak, because its not.

  • i own 6280 for almost a year now and had no problems at all. the camera is working perfectly. no problems with the menu, display, slide mechanism - nothing. its a perfect phone.

  • nokia N6280 is quite good 3G (UMTS) phone. but it has no operating system, so maybe the compability is limited. with the price range of it, Nokia 6680 and Nokia N70 is better choice.

  • hi i am using nokia6280 mobile.i am facing problem with camra. the problem is " when i switch on my camera the messageis" OPERATION FAILED" is displaying. i am not able to use cam. can any body suggest solution.

  • Hi all, Plz can Someone tell me how can i use the front camera? any software to be used for it??? Plz email me [email protected]

  • 6280 is a GOOD PHONE!!!!! theres NOTHING wrong with it these the good things; good D-PAD great display excellent buttons 3G video calling great design VGA video(15Frame per seconds) flash with a great 2MP camera overall this phone is excellent...better then what SONYERRICSON can offer...

  • Im ready to recieve my upgrade would this phone be a good choice ??

  • all what u say is just your opinion, and nothing clear, don't be care with what the other saying, it depend on how u use it

  • hi, i have problem about the loud speaker , it's not really loud. Especially after recorded voice or music

  • Do not buy this phone. Manufacture quality is too low. slide mechanism is not stable at all. battery life is too low. value is not real.

  • As a first task on this phone I shall try to reply to some of the often questions here that some people do not care to read and some people answer them without having a clue about this phone. 1) This phone is not a smartphone. J2ME is different from Symbian andyou can not run Symbian, Mobile Windows, Palm or Linux games or applications on it. 2) This phone sustains an impressing amount of files but it is not an office document viewer. 3) The display has Pixel Orgama (a tehnology that bends the light wave when hitting the display and so not turning the pixel black to the viewer) 4) The front camera, which I found to be of a very good quality for it's configuration ONLY activates when you switch to Video Call. You CAN NOT in any situation take self pictures or perform other operations with it. On the backside of the phone you will find a silver fish-eye mirror when the time comes to taking a photo of one's face. 5) This is neither an walkman phone or an iPod. Those of you who wish to hear loud music from a speaker please buy a home sound system or a jukebox. For all those who are in their right minds not to expect a phone to be a concert, I have to say that this phone's speaker performs great in a conversation and on the often video play or gaming. Music quality is decent. The headphones are great. Some may argue with me but I would say they have the quality of an walkman phone. 6)Slidind mechanism is strong in almost all positions. When closed it may wabble for half a millimeter but that is in no way a reason for disconfort or do harm to the phone. 7) Battery is decent, although Nokia could have done a little more for this phone. 8) The gaming experience is amazing. Almost no problems with games and found hundreds and hundreds of free full-compatible J2ME games that you can easily download through GPRS, EDGE, 3G. Applications also run very well with almost no conflict or brakedowns, more than I can say about most of the other phones on the market. 9) No, you can't get viruses on this phone because of reason 1). And for those who can't understand this and still ask... you don't need an antivirus for this phone and there is none. 10)Keyboard is fine...has a lot of style but can be a little tricky when writing any text in other alphabets than Arabian (keep in mind that English uses the Arabian alphabet and numbering system but not the symbols). Trouble writing in Russian and Romanian. 11)The 2 MP camera is decent.I have to say that it has sometimes bad moments when taking photos in bad conditions (rainy day, night, corridors, etc) but in rest it's great in my experience (and I have a lot with phones). 12) Phone memory is very good and has been placed to be 90% supported by the hot-swap port. Memory cards can easily be found, they're cheap, fast and reliable. Remember that Nokia has experts studying new portable memory structures like microdrives and magnetic tape, and they know what they are doing better than you. Mini SD cards are the best cards on the marked after MicroSD so memory can not be an issue. 13) You can not install full support for Real video/audio files. Some may work, some may not, so as a tip, do like the pros do and CONVERT. 14) The firmware updates (if you think you need them) can be found on the Nokia website. I can't post the URL because of privacy/publicity rules imposed either by Nokia or GSM Arena (who are really a team of professionals in evaluating). 15) Internet (both HTTP and WAP) work great. 16) Bluetooth finally acieves the required working length and speed. These are a few of the on going questions users do not read the answer to andpost again and again. PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST AND ONLY POST AFTER YOU READ OTHER USERS' REVIEWS AND YOU HAVE READ ALL THE MATERIAL THAT GMSARENA KINDLY PUTS AT OUR COMFORT AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE A REAL PROBLEM AND HAVEN'T YET FOUND A SOLUTION HERE. Many thanks and regards to those that have answered previous questions with patience and professionalism. Keep on the good work. Kindly, Winterchill Phone evaluation #1211 in 8 years, 2 months, 3 days.

  • Does the VGA camera (the one in front) work even without making a video call? I mean, just like the N70. You can take pictures using the front cam without making a video call.

  • YES!! Finally found ound why I've had to send my phone back 3 times then.............battery ovreheating! Wot rubbish, you'd think Nokia would make a phone that works! I've had to take our another contract just to get a new phone because they wouldn't change it for a different model!!

  • 6280 was a waste of a phone from Nokia its useless the Cover is wobbly and the screen is protected by cheap plastic and now the battery overheats whats nexttttttt the phone falls in 2 pieces lool!!! i have 6280 and never use it becuase i have anotha phone so its useless 6280 was a waste of a phone Nokia NO-kia

  • WARNING TO ALL 6280 USERS; if your phone heats up switch it off automatically take your sim card out brfore you switch it off and leave it DONT use it and check that your BATTERY is NOT fake if it FAKE then THROW it in the bin and BUY a Nokia aprroved 1 the Nokia aprovved 1s have a shiny sticker on the front saying "original nokia accessory" i have had for 2 months and iv not used it much but after hearing this dont think im going to use it again!!!!!!!! long live 6280 NOT

  • i guess the phone overheats because it uses fake batteries... And such as this case are very rare

  • you should take care of your phone unless you want it to be broken.

  • This phone is really easy to use. it is also REALLY easy to break; the front cover os broken... as is the back cover ... as is the screen. a really fragile phone which is a dissappointment becuase nokias are usually indestrucable.

  • Good phone liked it alot nokia rules

  • hey anyone know if i can get a realplayer software that works on this phone.and from where? for free!!.. please reply

  • this phone overheats a lot ..poor battery .but everything else is good about it

  • heavy

  • I have been using this phone for a while and I think it's a descent phone +very Solid sliding Mechanism +Great sound MP3 with Equalizers +Very Sharp Screen and nice colors +The Video Camcorder is Great With 640x480Res -The Camera is kinda weak for 2mp comparing to my N0KIA 6681 which has 1.3 mp and the quality is way better -you cannot rewind or fast forward video clips unless i don't know how and you can tell me in general i think its a great phone but i would get my self the N0kia N73 by adding little bit more money

  • This phone also overheats!

  • need fm to be added

  • Hi i am shahbaz this phone is really good it works good and the result is very nice.

  • mine turns itself off and on, the wallpaper changes on its own, vibrates when noone is calling, and now doesnt even charge, bought several new chargers so obviously phone at faul, camera makes phone crash. shop wont replace it, service provider wont replace it, and neither will nokia, so where the hell does my warranty lie coz surely im entitled to replacement??

  • i tink both 6280 & 6288 are great. i got 2 friends who got 6280 & mi got the 6288

  • its true the nokia 6280 is like the 6288 its not worth buying a 6288

  • This is another masterpiece created by Nokia ..Ive had mine for 2months now already and ive never had a phone this gr8,It sleek ,small and THE FEATURES.....REAL Stunner,What i like most is the video ringtones.....lovely

  • is this phone really worth it?

  • hay guys did u know that the nokia 6280 is like the 6280 my friend changed his 80 to a 88 if you want to chang you 80 all you have to do is buy a 6288 cover than put it on but nokia 6280 is better

  • - in taking indoor photos, i advice you guys to check your phone's camera settings first. 6280 is equipped with flash so use it.. - also make sure that when you buy a new phone, it has a warranty so that you don't have to worry about future repairs.

  • for free games you might want to check out mobile9.com and getjar.com

  • the 6280 is the worst phone that nokia has ever made, i have had put mine in for repairs three times and had to have it replaced and it still plays up. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

  • pros: fantastic looks, great functionality, intuitive nokia menu structure, great connectivity options cons: buggy as hell and unstable (untill you get the software/firmware flashed at your dealer), breakable (mine has been in twice for broken speeker and LCD), continual little problems. i love the look of this phone, but its in so often for repairs that i hardly ever get to use it!

  • I had problems wint nokia's 6280,s camera. The pictures taken indoors are horrible, all blurry... you can hardly distinguish the faces. I's been quite a shock to discover that a 2 Mp camera can do worse pictures than a 1.3 one.

  • thanks now that i know i think that they should have made it usable for pics, i mean, its on there anyway, so why not use its full potential

  • Does anyone know a website that has free java games, wallpapers, themes, etc for this phone. Please reply back if you do. Thank You

  • and if your 6280 always restarts, then bring it back to your dealer and with your warranty, either request to replace it or have them fix it.

  • for the previous posts... i can tell why you're having a hard time connecting a USB cable, because it's located at the bottom of the phone and not at the back as you were saying... and for the other guy, i mean Man, don't you read your manual that the front camera of the 6280 is exclusive only for video calls.. I can't believe people buy a phone not knowing what their buying, then just post a comment on how silly their phone was. Before you buy a new phone, make sure that it has every features you wanted..

  • hi i bought the nokia 6280 2day and am almost dead from trying to switch the camera to the front plz someone HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • my fone doesnt work well either, picture texts dont work and everything is in UK settings, anyone else havigns trouble with that and i got a usb wire with the fone but it doesn't fit on the bak of the phone

  • I've had my 6280 not 6 months yet and I've already accumulated a lot of problems. It randomly turns itself off and back on again, more so when I receive messages or playing music. It has crashed my laptop several times when I've gone to connect them via USB. I tried connecting my sisters phone as hers is the same and it worked absolutely fine, strange~ Occasionally when I pick up the phone it will unlock and lock the key pad several times, completely baffled me. Putting the problems aside, I do really like this phone. I just got to find time to get it repaired~ Anybody else having similar problems?

  • yeah the battery life on mine is not that great. but overall i really like the phone.

  • The battery life sux so does the voice dialling. We upgraded to this phone (2 Handsets) because the battery life of our previous (2 handsets) was getting bad after about 1 1/2 years of use. However to our surprise the new battery of this phone is still not as long lasting as the used battery of our 6230's. I believe that Nokia has fooled us into believing that 6280 has voice dialling, because unlike the 6230's where you could record the contacts name in your own voice, the 6280 actually has built in computerised voice for the contacts. Well, you ask for Mr. A and it would dial Mr. K, its pathetic

  • i have had the phonr for one year. the battery goes down very quickly and most days i have no life in it by the evening

  • Having the mobile a couple of months.I am shown very low memory in the fone.I wanna upgrade my fone to the latest firmware.Where could I get dat?Help me out guys.

  • security code: 12345

  • the security code for my phone was 000

  • it may not have the best camera for a phone but hey, who needs a camera for a phone when you got a Cannon Ixus 60 as a standard digicam... take that!

  • it's a good phone... I stay away from N-series because in my opinion Series-40 phones are more robust and stable than Series-60 phones of Nokia... It's not buggy and until now, i haven't experienced any hang-ups with this phone... expecially if you got the new firmware (v 5.92)

  • this is the best phone i ever used.vedio clarity at its best .THANK U NOKIA>................................................................................

  • with the 5.92 fw, 6280 works better than before (with 3.06)?or the problems listed below goes on with it too?

  • nokia6280 ls the phone i have ever saw but the photo quality is not that good when compare with video . really video quality is better compared with nokia N70.out speker is very low compare with normal phone.

  • To JB: As far as I know, all Nokia handsets have the standard security code of 12345. It's always a 5 digit code. I hope I could help you with this info. Tnx.

  • the code is 12345. i'm looking for a website too...does anyone know?thx

  • the black 6280 is something to die for! though with the issues I've been hearing the 6288 is a great option though I'm inlove with the black 6280!!! T_T help!!!!!!!!

  • Bought this phone yesterday! I think this is pretty good, as the functions and performance are very satisfactory. For a 3G phone, i wud definitely recommend this phone to anyone. I was a nokia user b4 swithching to Sony Ericsson and then back to Nokia. Nokia is simply unbeatable, they are still the best overall!

  • I have 6280 since may 2006. It is good mobile, if you just need phone. I can give 8 out of 10 for this phone and it fulfill my expectation. There are problems though, and many firmware versions with different type of bugs in, and you will have to select the one that is close to your expectation, depending of the functions most often plan to use... The 64MB card is so small that every time I go anywhere, I need to delete MP3's to free space for picturs or video. In this 64M card good-quality video (good for this phone) is round 3 minutes. And if you fill it - there will be no pictures...so in this way any owner will meet the challenge of buying bigger memory card. It appears, that 6280 is less compatable than the market offer. So when you buy card, try to take some pictures, check if the pictures are whole(with some memory cards, 6280 corrupt pictures), then try some video, even voice recording, and if you succeed with all, only then buy the card. There are several firmware to fix some, but not to take away the memory problems. The radio is very good if you are near to the station transmiter, otherwise you will have to listen to it mono. The fact that the antenna is the cable of the headset is very bad and many times you will have to keep the cable with hands to have stereo. There are several bugs with themes, but the themes support is otherwise good, and the 6280 is looking very good with different themes. The 6280 has a problems with humidity, and I've been several times in situation to restart the phone more than one time to be able to make a call. That's the problems I have crossed. But I will keep with this phone for at least one year, because the N seria is not the one that I need, because of the price and the symbian, but the successors like 6288 or others are not big step, enough to make me switch.

  • 6270: no 3G,stereo, stronger than 6280, speakers 6280:3G,better video recodings than 6270

  • there is a very good site for games,apps etc...: mobile9.com

  • excellent handset, great screen quality,great camera,video not so hot but 3g tv playback is outstanding,good memory and functionality,odd that previous reviewer had so many problems as i have had none, the only drawback is that with the smallest of knocks the back tends to fall off

  • Could someone please tell me if you can download the info on the Sim card to the phone. I dont really fancy typing in all my contacts again.

  • 1GB memory card works fine. security code might be 12345. My only gripe is in-use battery life.

  • How can i make vide call,if the person have a same phone.

  • Does anyone know what the security code is for the 6280? I have tried all the normal ones like 0000 1234

  • Hi..Can Any one give me a web site where i could download some FREE FREE FREE FREE game,themes,applications for my nokia 6280 thanks alot....it will be very helpful write back [email protected]

  • Hi..Can Any one give me a web site where i could download some FREE FREE FREE FREE game,themes,applications for my nokia 6280 thanks alot....it will be very helpful right back please

  • i've been using this phone for about 4months...and im happy with it. the only thing that i dont really want with my phone is PHONE RESTRICTION!,but when i reset it, it comes back to the original setting with i can use it., that flash is not that good, and i cant use the front camera like n70 does!hmp!, the battery doesn't last like other phone.,but there more a lot advantage with this phone...it never hangs, texting is very easy in other words...it is very user friendly...:), the cam is very good specially you are outdoor...it capture pics very good...(i wish it sah autofocus to rwally sharpen the image!sigh!),thats all!

  • nokia is rubbish, after update the new FW 5.92,the handset can not be activated mp3 player and game together, nokia say that can not be back to pervious FW3.81, strongly complaint nokia without pior notice the user will miss this function before update the FW

  • I've been using the handset for eight months. It is a very nice handset with nice design and an easy layout. Battery life is good (if not in a 3G area, switch to 2G to reserve life). The slide can seem a bit loose but after constant usage with care it as retained. The one problem I can find is that when playing multimedia (videos, mp3, games) the handset may suddenly stop and reset itself. I doesn't happen often and is easily bearable.

  • My Nokia 6280 is the worst Nokia phone I've ever had Its been back 3 times had 3 different Nokia batteries,and still only has a stand by time of 30 hours, am sure if I used it more it would be permanently on charge

  • I've got two 6280's one for own use and one for work. so you could say that it has my vote!! My only comment would be the software glitch in both of them. It sometimes shuts down mid-way through a track or a game. Also once the battery is nearing the end of it's life, the phone does some wierd stuff like shows empty charge and then full and goes dead mad-way through a call. I've just ordered the 6288 as a new replacement so i'm hoping that this will now be sorted. in General a damn good phone though with many features...

  • Lockesh... I recommend you to download a software called ''MobiMB''on your computer,connect the usb to your desktop through default mode,and try to search into your phone till you found a file and full of cropped pictures,icons in it..delete all of them,and that should free about 2~3mb of memory.And next time when u changed a theme,properly go back>back>back and back to the active standby,dont quickly quit with the lower right key.

  • Can I open office documents on this phone ? Like word, execl, power poit or pdf? Thanks

  • Nokia 6280 FW 5.94. I have problem in forwarding the received MMS. The forward is "gray", not selectable. Also the Sent MMS can not be resent (forword). Is it a general problem ??. Did anyone come across. Not interested in copy and send.

  • Had it for a year now and the only problems have been battery life in the past month or so. Oh and if you have a motorbike don't bother taking this phone on it. It can't hack the vibrations and turns itself off. I thought it might be a faulty phone but the same happened with the replacement so I think this must be a design fault.

  • is it possible to watch mpegs in 6280? or is there a software that can be installed so that mpegs can be viewed??

  • I am currently using a 1gig memory card and it works fine. The only thing I have found is that it can be slow loading up any photos i have stored.

  • Thanks to the guy who replied me.I dont have anything in the phone memory.Even the games have been deleted.Even though very low memory is shown.Where would I change the flash Ram?Help me out guys.

  • has anyone tried using a larger memory for mini-sd, say 512mb or 1gig? m thinking of buying 1 but am not sure if the n6280 can run on higher memory other than 64mb. i appreciate your inputs. thanks!

  • hey Lokesh. i had your problem b4 when i had the n6280. u should try to clear anything on your phone memory and move them to your miniSD card. or u can use a smaller sized theme.. if all else fails, u have to change ur flash ram. i had mine changed at the nokia Care in singapore. it should be free if u still have the warranty. good luck Lokesh.

  • Hi guys please help me out.Am using the crap phone past 1 month.The specification says dat the mobile got 6mb internal memory.But the phone shows just 140kb free memory.Single theme I could'nt install.Where's the rest of the memory gone?Wat could I do to restore the full memory back?

  • i have had the nokia 6280 for a few months, i bought one of them plastic covers for it to protect it and everything. i went to answer a call and the actuall screen was broken, there was a big crack that actually starts in the middle of the fone (internally) and it leads up right through to the middle of the screen... but there is no surface damage at all, and the case i bought is great as well, the company says that i have dropped it or something but i havent. its guna cozt me �70 for a new screen. i have to pay it as its a contract fone. but still leaves the actaul question on wot happened to it. any idea??

  • if u wan this pone, think bout the 6288;its senior. the 6288 has better and more stable firmware, no bug and no hangs, good battery, comes with 512mb card, and features almost the same function as the 6280, and for the better firmware, it only cost around 100euro more

  • been in for repair 4 times failed text, failed battery, turns itself off, and when fitted to in car system does what it wants, and where is it now back in for repair wont charge, worst nokia Ive ever had

  • heys people im planning to get this phone soon should i its on 300 in au so many functions like bluetooth expandle memory everything so cheap

  • er.. dude.. dont get the n6280. you will regret it.. i serviced my phone so many times that i knew the folks at nokia so well that i didnt have to get a queue no., i just see the manager.. lol..

  • man i heard this phones full crap and ridiclous i was planning to get man wtf has anyone rung up nokia or have they confirmed that this phone is a fault or somthing?

  • hi. i am from singapore and i WAS a proud user of a 6280. it was a great phone with little lag. but i guess the on board ram wasnt enough and it just reboots by itself, looses my network, and weird enough, backspaces in a middle of an sms typing session! themes cannnot be applied easily as there is usually "not enough memory". as a result, i went to nokia care (the service center they call in singapore) and i serviced it 6 times. changing the RAM as well as flashing the os again and again. but nothing works.. as after a week or two with my phone after servicing, the problems will surface again. what i recommend is changing ur phone to a n70 which roughly costs the same as a 6280. the trade off is that ur screen will me smaller and ur resolution will be de-proved (208 by 176) and that u will experience lag in everything u do. but! what u get is stability and great functionality!!! for example u get 35mb ram which farly exceeds the 6mb in a 6280. and u can use the front camera for taking photos. and u can use many great 3rd party softwares. just to give an example, u can install a wma plugin to play wma songs whereas u have to stick with the default player for 6280. for those with 6280, i wish u good luck in finding a better phone. (hint hint: get a n70! ;P)

  • This is a great phone. i don't know why people say its bad and that it freezes, switches off, battery last 1 day..etc..etc.. i had this phone for almost a year. the battery last for 3 days easily and i have a heavy user. it never switches off on me and the camera has no delay whatsoever. I live in Australia and i bought the phone there so maybe the Australian version and software is more stable than other versions. A great phone and I highly recommend it.

  • There are no problems with this phone. The phone is excellent and has quality functions

  • this phone is rubbish it falls apart freezes turns off and the battery lasts a day dont get it ive only had mine a year and its my 2nd one as my last one broke im thinking about getting the n93 or n73 any sugestions

  • My phone freezes evey time i play music with the music player.. so tried to take the memory card out and works fine but when i insert the memory card it turns off......Still under warrenty and need the customer service number for United states, to exchange the phone but can some one hepl me with this problem?? Please email me and let me know. Thanks

  • Does this phone have a delay for the camera, like where you press a button and walk away and the phone takes a pic about 5 seconds later or something?

  • i don't think so...this phone is very good, i bought it one year before and i have had no problems!!!

  • hi! i just got this phone last christmas, i don't have any problems with it because it is really a great phone but I was thinking about getting a walkman phone from sony ericsson because i really love storing music on my phone. Can anyone please give me some advice of which walkman phone is best for me? I love using the camera and listening to music.. or do you think I should just stick to my nokia 6280? I would appreciate your help.. thanks guys! cheers!

  • to huskyboi thats what i was doing before. it works sometime, and sometimes not, is this normal with this unit? bec of its poor phone memory?

  • a) I've never had the phone freeze on me, what it does though is after playing mp3s for a hour the phone would restart. Stats indicate this is common across Nokia and getting an externally player might work b) The second vga camera is used exclusively for video calling. Under the phone calling options.

  • Not enough memory refers to the system memory I would think. What I have found helps is when you select a theme a very small one, say a 60 or less KB size theme. Then you select the theme you want to use. That normally works for me.

  • i downloaded some themes but i cant use it, it says not enough memory, but i already erased the stock games and my messages but still no good. could sombody help me and tell me why... what should i do? thanks

  • i think i found my cellphone for life, i have already changing cellphone unit 20 times but when bought nokia 6280 i told to my self to stop changing unit. i found the right unit for me.

  • I bought it new, been having it for 4 weeks, I must it's not a crapy phone nice graphics though. It freezes when playing music, looses network,its not a phone to rely on,other that design is great, keypad very comfortable. but won't recommend to anyone.

  • I've had this phone for nearly a year already, got a software upgrade and since it doesn't have so many hung-ups. Just that now it's doesn't allow music playing during applications of any sort. Very right though no phone is perfect and this phone is pretty decent... :D

  • how i can enable my secondary cam (vga)to make a picture without turning the phone?

  • hi i m glad to inform u that first time i bought nokia cell phone.really its great all things display and sound and also camera result its really good.i think its magic cell phone.really i m very happy from nokia. thanx urs truly robbert

  • i absolutley love nokia! not any more!im moving on!worst phone i have ever had - been repaired twice - was without my phone for 3 weeks as they could not find the problem so replaced it! would never recomend this - slide is poor too! 1/10 generous!!!!

  • Hey, This is a bad choice to get i have had this phone three times because some thing always goes wrong with it. has major sw problems !

  • Hey everyone, i have just got this phone on Optus. I love it. Just stop complaining. No phone is perfect and believe it or not neither are you, but we dont complain about you all over the net. This phone has great features and design and so what if mp3 isn't that good GO BUY AN IPOD!! i love my phone, the picture is great and works fine. It was the best phone availiable on an 29 dollar plan and i am not complainin. Australia

  • in 6280 sometimes when we are using musicplayer it is going to sleepmode automaticaly within seconds it will be back and the sound quality is poor.

  • cooool phone its wicked.....

  • does any one know any web sites where i can upgrade the software on my phone?????

  • This is a good phone, it does crash occaionally however, i have a 6233 aswell and that crashes more. It's a nokia thing.. Very good for still photos, video quality's awesome. Expandable memory so can't complain! Simple to use, difference with 6233 is the 6280 has a camera at front for video calling - 6233 u need2 buy a seperate attachment for video calling, however, 6233 speakers are better..they're awesome. Good easy to use phone.

  • this is the greatest phone I ever had. the battery is great, display also great.. I can't think of anything that I don't like.

  • The latest firmware version is 5.92 from Nokia Centre. Free upgrade if you still have warranty.

  • This is a wicked phone. The voice command is sick!!!!

  • What operating system is using this phone?

  • Excellent cellphone.

  • crap phone the camera stopped working on after 2 months and the screensaver didnt save more problems than what its worth. i wouldnt recommend this phone to any1

  • pls dont buy this phone!!!is a disgusting phone when u lyk 2 listen mp3 it turns off the power n the signals always go!a friendly reminder

  • the 6280 looks a good mobile but Nokia should have not released this mobile first on the "3" network its unlockable an full of bugs an the screens break easily ,i want one on O2 but theres not many about,i will keep trying an hope Nokia check there phones out fully before they release there mobiles next time

  • >>Glentix 6280 doesn't use realplayer supporting .rm files. And sad to say, Gma and Cnn uses .rm, though i don't know what does abscbn uses. and u can't d/l and install it in ur phone! realplayer is usually installed in symbian phones

  • I have a phone it is a nice one about voice command just presss volume(-) for a while and say ur tag that is all note that the mobile detects name without need to store ur voice to each contact just press the key and say the name and it will detect the name directly

  • my nokia 6280 is equally bad as alot of the others listed on here. it constantly crashed with a black screen. it crashed when on the phone to people and listening to music. i have been told it was a problem with software but i had the latest software installed but this did not seem to affect the performance of the phone. i would sincerley recommend that you do not purchase the nokia 6280 as you will be very dissapointed, this is strange because i have found that all the other nokia's i have had have been good.

  • I own myself a Nokia 6280. However I am quite surprised to find that I couldt activate any "Flight" mode. Does someone know how to manually add the "Flight" profile?

  • Purchased this phone about 6 months ago and it has spent more time in the nokia repair shop than in my hand. This is a great phone however there are a lot of faults that get worse with time. Nokia have admitted the problems with the model but are not very willing to help fix them.

  • Vodafone Ireland have not released this handset! Apparently too many bugs!

  • Hi there, anyone know how do I move the inbox to memory card's memory, instead of the phone's memory? Thanks.

  • Both me and my partner have had a Nokia 6280 for about 5 months now. The first month, i quite liked the phone, the second month, i started to notice things going wrong with it. This phone does not respond well to wear and tear as opposed to other models. Definately problems with the dictionary not remembering things. I know there is a software upgrade available, however, this is only from a Nokia Customer Care centre and last time i went into the Brisbane store with a previous phone, it took 3 months to return the phone and all they had to do was replace the screen. When they did return it, the phone was not even fixed... thats Nokia service for you!! Back to the 6280.. i would say that it is good as a disposable phone, best advice is.. look for another model - this one is not worth the rubbish you have to go through to make it work.

  • i have it almoust more than month and its works quite good for me. it is not so bad phone after all. i like it

  • my 6280 died on new years eve for no reson. when i turn it on, Nokia appears on a white back and then nothing happens. does someone knows what's wrong with it.?

  • i got a nokia 6280 from the 3 network its rubbish i can't charge it i have to stay with it for five minutes+ just twisting and tuning the contacts to make it charge and constantly it goes blank i also lose my connection regulary and to add to all that it locked its self up for no reason like i was a thief to my own phone...dont get one especially not from 3. p.s. it also jumps from full battery to extremely low battery and switches off i have had it constantly fixed but it still dont work.

  • very poor phone! always been a nokia user, since they brought out the 2110. My 6280 is rubbish, it has been sitting with nokia for a month now, their after sales service is a complete shambles. I had my phone for 3 weeks before the softkeys stopped working, I've asked nokia to back up all my info before they reset the phone but they refuse saying I should've done it, never mind the fact that I couldn't because the soft keys weren't working. I had problems with the bluetooth and the predictive text is pre historic, it doesn't remember new words, u have to manually enter them every time..............DO NOT GET A NOKIA!!

  • This nokias is sow GOOD. Good nighttt

  • its cool.but i didnt get any supporting softwares like mp3 players' dvd players, real players ,,plz help me to get that softwares,,,,,,,,,thks

  • I've had this phone 8 days after returning the first one, however nothing but a problem with dead pixels with the first camera. This phone I have now has a rattling slide, & the backlight switches off after 10 seconds even whilst playing games, leading to death by darkness in games. I searched everywhere for backlight timer options which BTW does not exist under firmware 3.81. However I am afraid firmware 5 still did not fix this option. To be honest I like my LG U8360 better. but I will ride this one for a few months & be aware there are many many bad reviews & very little good reviews from users who had the phone for three months or more. So if anyone wants to know.. measure up the reviews. Generally my phone works fine after 8 days. LOL

  • hi i got this phone for about 5 days and it awesome i love it..its smart looking and if u want u can extnd its memory upto 2 gb gr8 phone for me a status smbol for sure...just love it..

  • antenna, how about your messages? Nokia 6280 shares its phone memory to contacts and messages. even if you restore your phone to factory settings, your messages/contacts will not be erased. check your messages/contacts (if you have so much of these) if they eat so much of your memory. maybe you can delete some of them, or move them to the memory card. hope you have read this in time.

  • Jessica, when you're on the main menu, press Options -> Main Menu View -> Grid or Grid with labels. This was my phone months ago (had it for only 3 weeks), and I'd say it sucks (replaced mine with an SE W700). Better take care of the sliding mechanism, and watch out for the signal coverage.

  • go update your firmware

  • to change the look of your menu you go to the menu then push left softkey then you should have something like main menu view you go in it there you will have options like list, net, net with..,tabs then just choose

  • i owned this fone for exactly 4 days. i had 2 units of 6280.. the 1st one had a defect on ts volume, then the second unit had a problem wit on and off thingy! not advisable.. [: maybe n70's better.(:

  • Great to look at, a pain to use sums up this phone nicely. It would be top-class if it didn't randomly switch off while browsing the Net or sending messages, didn't require items to be deleted in order to send a multimedia message, had a battery that lasted longer than a snowball in the desert, didn't flash up "Phone restricted" messages for no reason etc etc etc

  • Currently i have the Nokia 6280(this fone).My menu comes out as like you hab 2 scroll down n so on...how to make the menu like all pictures?Like other phones are all picture menu in like a box...like 3 icons in a row in the form of pictures???how to make that?If you do not understand click pictures than more pictures.Than under "Photos of the display" the second row,I want my menu to be like the second pic frm the left,but now mine is the 3rd pic frm the left.How to make it?

  • Its a gr8 phone,it does hav a small built in memory but u can upgrade ur mini sd, it can handle mini sd' of up to 2gb, and its a better phone than the n70, and more cheaper too. phillippines

  • Hi, i am a new guy here in this forum and i hope you will help for me. I downloaded some themes, change from one to other in my phone, but after 3 weeks i could not change them because there was no free memory in my phone (not in memory card). I have no games, java aplications... I can see that there are used ~200kb, but phone is showing for me that there are free space only ~150kb, while there should be ~6mb. I tried reseting factory setings (didn't help), switching phone off and on (didn't help), removing battery (didn't help). What should i do? When i connecting my phone with usb cable and choosing properties the pc is showin ~7mb used, ~150kb free. I cannot find where i could erase this used space of my phone memory. Please help me. Nokia 6280; V 03.60.

  • Hi DANIAL could you please send me the sku code for 128MB internal memory to my email adress plzzz tq

  • TO JESSICA yes this phone is way better than 6282 6282 has only a 1mp camera this has 2mp camera and allot moree

  • Is this phone better or the Nokia 6282?they are almost the same but which is better?Currently i have the Nokia 6280(this fone).My menu comes out as like you hab 2 scroll down n so on...how to make the menu like all pictures?Like other phones are all picture menu in like a box...like 3 icons in a row in the form of pictures???how to make that?If you do not understand click pictures than more pictures.Than under "Photos of the display" the second row,I want my menu to be like the second pic frm the left,but now mine is the 3rd pic frm the left.How to make it?
