Nokia 6288 - User Reviews

  • My first decent phone with camera, music, games and internet. And to add up my first slider phone ever. I love everything this phone has those days where touchscreens, heavy features and specs aren't that big deal those days. This phone is really good and durable also and Nokia those days are really known for being the durable and high quality brand no wonder. Just so sad Nokia nowadays aren't as durable as they are compared in the past decades. Long live nokia.

  • Ordered a Nokia 6288 Unlocked in Black for £13.45 and a CA-53 data cable for £1.45. I'm going "smartphoneless" (except for filming YT), my Samsung and Sony will be in a drawer upstairs (so they aren't easily accessible and visible). I like the 6288 as it has a large screen with a decent pixel density, it's thick, it's running S40 which is not a smartphone OS like S60, battery life will be great as it doesn't have WiFi. The screen resolution and OS means that it will be suitable for the games that I'll install on it. Should arrive in a day or two. Will be happy to relive life as if it's 2012 ;)

  • My favourite phone up until I got an iPhone 4. Dropped it a million times it got wet a few and it always worked.

  • Hi, I have been using this phone for nearly 4 years now. It has ALWAYS been very bad (LOW battery life/ too THICK / front camera CANNOT be used for photos/ Fragile back cover/ NO 3.5 mm jack). No wonder why Nokia has DISCONTINUED it. TIP: Never buy ANY phone that has been DISCONTINUED as the manufacturer MUST have a strong reason to stop the phone's production...

  • It is incompetent

  • Nokia 6288 is a good phone, but .swf fils are not work.

  • good phone with problems,clock themes not working,cross lines in display,mainly low battery ,3g front camera in spec but not working,needs update for music player. overall upto my experience it's an nice phone.if nokia clears my above said things it's a great phone...

  • I'm using this phone for quite a while now and found its slider working amazingly! It's probably the best slider phone among all Nokia phones. I've already used Nokia 6500 and 6270 but those were not satisfactory like this one. This is really good and features are also good back in time :)

  • Dear All, Just I am using 6288 since2007.I never find any problem.I am comformatble and amzing of resolution and display.I am using like N series.Only the problem I am facing that I could not get the pouch for it.

  • its bad...... it shut downs by itself and screen is broken... multi colour lines come... n also don't know how to use the front cam... could not even use for 1 year... now i changed to a sony ericsson vivaz... its much better...

  • After almost 2.5 years of use, my 6288 has been replaced after a few falls. The LCD has broken inside (5 months ago the LCD starts being black near left down corner) and the battery lasts 1-2 days with moderate use. The LCD and battery replacement doesn't worth the price when you can get a new mobile with same specs. It has lasted more than i expected (2 years). I have now a cheap mobile but equipped like 6288 and costs less than 50 euros and battery lasts more than a week. It's a Huawei g6600 and i'm happy with it.

  • How can i swich on my sec camera

  • pls i just get my 6288,i dont know hwr 2 switch 2 2Gnetwork,and also my battery doest last,pls tell me something

  • how to download opera mini on this fone?

  • Can anybody help me.....here it says second cammera is for videocalling....how to make video call with 6288?

  • I think the only problem with this phone is the battery, but i think nokia should improve on this very well, besides, have been using this phone since the 6th of Jan 2007 and up till now, its still working fine, what we need to know is charging the battery very well before the use of the phone, let the battery discharge to the leat for three times and recharge again again, by so doing, the battery has an elongated period of time to work, though i have a new phone now and i still use the phone, am just about noting that the battery is getting to the weak state. thanks. psalmson

Please in case you know to solve this problem, kindly send an email to [email protected]. Thanks

  • its a beautiful 4ne,but the camera has stopped working, nd ive only had it for 9 months

  • Terrible phone, loved it when I first got it when it came out because it was my first slider and was going from a budget Sharp GX17. After using it for a short while it was a pain, not only was it very buggy it was very sluggish and unresponsive to use when compared to other phones of same price or even cheaper Camera is absolutely terrible quality at best and media functions are average and suck the life out of the battery quicker than you can enjoy using them Over the years I have owned it I tried to keep it going for sentimental reasons and because I didn't want to admit to myself how bad it really was, I think I would have spent triple the phones value at least getting it repaired many times This phone put me off multimedia phones and I am buying a Nokia 8910 now instead, the phone is simple, reliable, and a whole lot more stylish than any of the current Nokia's in my opinion If I wasn't getting this older Nokia I would be switching to Sony Ericsson for sure which are phenomenally better phones, I'm never buying a new Nokia again

  • unless u hav some form of insurance, dont buy this phone. the wires between the top and bottom parts tends to break easily. my screen is now blank and cant c anything. waste of money.

  • The Best Phone. Solid Camera Clearity, Flash,Video And Picture Clearity, Bluetooth card Cable. And Speed ? What Speed Yar.. The Best Phone.

  • It's a great phone. Have dropped it so many times and the screen is still in tack, flex is great. White one is definitely a beauty. Can be used as internet modem and works great. Love this. Would be much greater with the internal and external memory increase. It's currently at 6MB and 512 MB respectively.

  • Hello Lily, If you want to unlock your mobile, take it to install new software. Easy as that. Bye Bye

  • it captures strong 3G signals here in the Philippines, my browsing experience is fast especially to free WAP sites and chat sites... the downfall is the 6MB built in memory,,, applications being saved in the mem card can't be trusted... all in all, its a good uncomplicated phone to own .

  • i agree with mia.. my battery also always empty immediately...

  • I have been using this phone since 2 and half years ago.however it dropped many many many times it still working!! only both covers are broken but it still working . and slide is working good. any way dont buy it now many best nokia phone better than 6288. my advice try E63 .it in same price group but it even better

  • the best phone at time but camra problem some time no worry the best

  • i had at for one year and got camera,video,problems and the phone goin' slow for some reson i don't know.... i agree, it is an easy phone to use

  • my problem on this phone is its battery. it can be easily emptied and the battery cost much

  • I have had this phone for 3 years, and have never had a problem with it. It doesn't have wifi, GPS or symbian, but it's easy to use and has a very sturdy build.

  • I luv this phone. its perfect and its features are great. ave used it for almost one year and i have no complaints

  • i am using this phone for the last 1 yr...i have kept my phone locked by a security code....now the problem is that for the last one day i am unable to open it...the fone doesnt show up any thing...i guess its locked ....how to open mobile.....??? CAN ANYONE HELP ME...??

  • its sms friendly and very easy in use

  • hi everyone i had this phone on a contract for 18mth and its the worst fone i have ever had.it caused me so much problem the light kept cuttin off then i had no lights. its very sad the problems i had with it plesae dont buy it

  • hi everyone i have had this fone on contract for 18mths and luckly for insurance it save me.tis the worst fone in mankind history it give me so much problems i tought i would go mad. the light stop workin and imagin trying to make a call without lights on yr fone or trying to read a text message:(i will not encourage anyone to buy this fone its rubbish,i will not even have it for free....

  • i had this phone over 2 years and its very good, i droped him many times stil works fine, acceptable camera but is a phone that u wont have any problems with him, its a good deal !

  • this phone kinda sucks..i used to use this phone..bought it in may 2007..quite expensive..MYR900++..but very useless..used for 4 months then something went wrong with the camera..got it repaired and paid anothe MYR130 because the centre said the camera wasn't under warranty..then 3 months after that the slider got a problem..the LCD also went blank..the front camera also damaged.so I traded it in and got MYR200 only! It cost me MYR900++..then I added MYR130 to fix the camera..used it for only 7 months! it sucks big time..

  • that figures. i took my 6288 to the care centre as well because the display had black patches appearing on it. A few days later they called and said it was not repairable because it was water damaged. I was surprised because it never had so much as a bit of spit on it let alone any rain on it. I was suspicious but could not do anything about it as the care center replied that they would repair it if it was worth it. I think now hearing your comment Nokia are using this as a standard excuse for not having to repair phones under warranty. B...ds

  • its price plz

  • I'm a fire fighter and use my phone a lot on the fire ground. Had this phone since November '07. It's been dropped, kicked, fallen and had pieces go in all directions. The plastic cover over the actual screen is cracked big time! The Camera is nothing wonderful but it has been very useful. This phone still works as good it always has.

  • Initially this phone worked well - a good allround phone. BUT... after just over a year of use, the display screen went black so I took the phone to Nokia Care, as it was still under warranty. However now I need a new phone, since there was apparently some water damage. I looked after this phone quite well - I never dropped it in water and I tried to protect it from the rain - so I put this down to poor phone design. So frustrating!

  • my girl gave dis phone eish after 1 week da flexi which cost r300.00

  • well, i got the fone for almost 1 yr & a half now, its good at first, then the problem arrived, the picture/ display runs out when i slide it had to repair it then after a few months the screen again blacks out, the display has no light, i have to use it when the light is on but it gives me headache, they said the flex cable is the problem again... so i only used it for a year coz im not using it for 5 months already... now im waiting to have my nokia 5800, i hope it will not give me headaches....

  • my fone has colapsed/! how much is the flex of this ****** fone?

  • It is a good fone... my mum had it 4 2 yrs and then gave it 2 me and i drop it loads but it still works.. my bestie had the exact same fone and she dropped it in the gutter and half the screen went black so b very careful of that... i wish mine would brake so i can get a new 1... they r old and sumtimes it takes a while to get into my folders and then out again. Also the net is a bit stuffy and frezzes so just walk away...lol newayz hope ths woz helpful

  • just format it

  • can i have 1g memory card for this phone?

  • My mum's had this phone for 3 years, since it came out, and nothing has gone wrong with it. Obviously it has dropped quite a lot of times, but it just works. Nothing goes wrong with the software. Very robust, recommended if you want a basic slider, it's a bit dated now though, but you can still pick it up from places like 3 new on contract and PAYG.

  • iused 6288 3 months my phones problrm is some time memorycard corrupt and the 2nd problem MY Phones L.C.D blank just 3 months

  • That's what I've been doing as well.. trying to return to menu and hope as much of what I have typed gets saved into draft. However, it backspaces so fast that most of what I typed are already gone by that point. I know it's a small problem, but it can get really annoying =(. In terms of the slider, I've dropped my phone a few times as well and when I slide out my phone, the screen slightly shakes but it's not too noticeable, imo. My friends who used my phone feel that it's hard to slide out but I don't really experience that. I felt it was harder to slide when I first got the phone and gets better when I wipe the metal part with a napkin. One thing I've always wondered is that when you look at the inner side of the left and right screen. Do you see some notches? I noticed it one day and have been wondering if it's supposed to be like that or if I broke it when I dropped it...

  • I have a 6288 and i noticed your problem with fast typping and consequently an automatic backspace. But i back to main menu and type SMS again without problems. Mine has almost 1 year and if you think the slide mechanism is very fragile, forget it. The faceplates, the memory-card protection (my terminal doesn't have actually), and the lateral buttons are fragile. I experienced that with some accidental falls.

  • I've had this phone for close to two years (and I still own it now). I'm considering whether to keep it or upgrade it to a smartphone like Nokia 5800 or one of the upcoming summer phones. But anyways, overall I'm really pleased with the design and its functions. I love the white cover, nice keys, and the slider is great and I've never had problems with it. My only question/concern is that sometimes when I type a text message and maybe when I type too fast (?), it starts to backspace very quickly and delete all the texts I have typed so far. Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to fix it?

  • why is it the cover is not clear? before i take a picture that is very clear..i need to remove the cover to perfection? and my phone are not to fast to start..

  • i bought this 6288 before one month , but what is problem is battery is not standing for the given time , pls any one fuck my phone

  • It looks as though the new slide phones now adays is not what it should be. im having problems with the ribbon but it should be fixed soon!!! other than that its the coolest phone ever!

  • i own nokia6288 for almost a year.all i can say that thi is very convenient the keypod is very soft.when taking pic.so clear.

  • To bin :Probably a microphone failiure wich means you'll have to repair it again (i hope i'm not right).To people asking about the second front camera you can't control it it only switches on when you get video calls.To ppl asking bout the memory size only up to 2gb but i'll recomend not to stuff it to the top cause the phone gets laggy and anoying.It's a 2006 device so don't expect miracles from it but still it's a nice design and mine works fine from 3-4 falls from a decent height(despite the rumours that slider phones brake like crackers).

  • i bought nokia6288 before almost 10days.i was facing a problem with the battery,but now it is solved by the suppliers.but now i am getting the problem i.e i cant hear the incoming and also my sound to my callers ,so would u tell me the solution thank you

  • i used this mobile this is very good mobile

  • hai u have update only 2GB memory.because mobile cache is low on this set.more command contact my mail [email protected]

  • i had this problem befor. that means the monitor is damaged you will have to change it

  • I have used Nokia 6288 from 2007 till 2009, have no problem, and yet for now that im not using it, its only becoz it fell and i stepped on it without seeing it..Freezing and switching on or off is impossible..Its a brilliant phone,has nice space but i also want to know if it can load more up to 8gig.Brilliant phone,Bravo Nokia, you have done urself..

  • I have this phone and it only have 512 mb memory card. So i would like to buy a bigger one. Bt i want to know if can it hold 4 gb or 8 gb. Because i want to load so muvies on my phone

  • it depends if u are willing to put up with phone issues,i have had my nokia 6288 for 3 months,yer its a nice phone,but i have had it fixed twice already due to the phone,turning on and off at random times,which was quiet annoying,and my phone froze alot,but if u ever do buy one,ur better off getting a refurbished one instead of a brand new one,so then u shouldnt have too many issues,over all they are a great little phone!

  • I Think that... its a nice fone.. But tension s dat should i buy it or nt? OR it will work or nt? s there FRESH PIECE in market or SECOND HAND? PLZ any one can rply by there opinion.....

  • Hi guys,i have a little problem here with this phone.it's 2nd camera dosen't working to take photos.how can i find this?

  • iwant to gprs

  • To Devilmyx it's porbably a software bug you can fix it really cheap in a mobile repair facility i had software problems once and it cost me about 8$ US it's nothing to worry about.You can try to fix the software yourself by flashing your phone with new update (available at Nokia official site) but i would not recomend it cause it failed for me and that's why i payed the 8$ to fix it after that :)

  • The camera comes up as operation failed. :(

  • in still photos it's ok. the pixels are very fine. maybe you'rea little bit shakyin taking pictures. only video seems so rough.

  • i love this phone! however; someone stole it.. huhuhu...

  • is the camera really blurry? pixelized? i bought this unit 2nd hand at a buy and sell website.. so im not sure about the quality of the fone if its really a little bit blurry..

  • it also can support upto 2gb but slow la, it needs to load if your memory is more than 70% full

  • Yup true true, now that I am experiencing it the white screen hang (like blue screen comp hang), have to pull- out the battery since nonce of the button is functioning when that happens... it shows to me that I need to change it already

  • i've been using this phone for over a year now. i felt in love using with it. at first it was okay. music player, cameras and videos. but just one day, after uploading music videos in it, i can no longer use the camera because when i attempted to capture an image, it'll hang. does anybody knows why is it happening? please help how to figure this out. please email me at [email protected]. thanks and best regards.

  • i have buy for only rm 410,but i think i ve cheated by the seller,the betry last for only about 15 hours,i also got 128 mb memory card that it should gave me 512 mb meory card.....but yet this phone i think it give the best perfomence,but need to buy new betry and memory card...

  • I had this phone for two years now and no problem at all as previous owners mentioned i dropped it too a couple of times but nothing hapened just scratches on the side of the device and everything works.Batterie life is great,video recording also,picture quality too (of course for it's price).The design is bulky and it's a heavy phone but of course it's all about taste (for it's time it was a great desgin)and it is infact a manly phone.Great device i'll change it only for a PDA phone nothing less.

  • only prob i got with this phone sometimes it hangs when watching consecutive videos...camera will not work when u drop it in the ground but will come back after few days...kinda bulky...dont want to recommend putting it on the pocket...

  • i buy this phone secondhand ma... only Rm4oo..

  • i hav this phone and have had it for a little over a year, i love it or did until it stuffed up the other day. sometimes when i slide it open the lights work but the screen doesn't, i'll open my menu and it'll freeze on that screen until i turn it off-on. and also the screen display buggers up when i push any buttons. its hard to explain.

  • pls can dis phone accept applications like dictionary,games,bible etc

  • Yup, 6288 supports 1GB memory card

  • yo keith u aint alone my 6288 does the same too. i have changed the software 7 times! imagine, i have had it 4 18 months, some say u should not overload it[the memory] others say the themes corrupt it,im not yet satisfied with their opinions.so keith if u get the solution to this problem pliz reply

  • can it support a 1gigabyte memorycard? it can be corrupted by overloading its memory

  • check SE w850i

  • tnx a lot...

  • The infrared port is on the left side of the phone, just below the tiny speaker.

  • I have this Nokia 6288 over 2 years now. I am totally satisfied. It's a ideal telephone. It is quite big, elegant and manly :d I have dropped it plenty of times and never stopped working. The quality of this telephone is just super. I want to have this telephone another 2 years at least. I reccomend it for everyone ;)

  • Hey i'm keith and a few weeks ago i bought this mobile! it is great but something happened!the mobile shut down it s self and its software had to be change!does it do it often or just was it a fault? tnx keith

  • i am a user of nokia 6288. its cool. i like this fon.

  • i would like to buy this phone, but im not sure whether its the rite choice for me to buy..

  • Olivia, you can download MSN's java file for free but however you must understand that connecting to msn will get you charged even when you're not using it.. just having people talking to you can already cost you some $$..

  • A t First ... i wasnt to sure on the phone ... but then i got used to it ... and its quite good ... but i just wanted to know ... whether i get my MSN free ... i have friends who say i can ... but i dont know x Please Help x Olivia x

  • is there a slider tone? means does it make a nice sound when we slide it?

  • I've been using it for two full years. Too many drawbacks, make this a "lemon". Dust gets in from everywhere (with not much outdoor use), the sliding cover is trembling when driving (since day 1) and makes a hell lot of noise, slider closed is out of position because of broken plastics (never fallen down!), two buttons on the slider no longer work. Menu is not good. And for sure it was and is overpriced. Stay away, there are many other phones much better and even much prettier than this.

  • Its very eye catching and works perfect but funtions are limited, how the hell can i put other players and applications

  • i like nokia 6288 ithe pric is 100000000

  • i am in mournin for this fone as it got water damaged :'( but i hope to replace it with the same fone :D gr8 fone anyone who has it loves it it has the usuall features and MORE MUCH MORE dnt buy this fone till i get a repalcement :P or there wont b any left for me hehe

  • I love this phone but only one thing sucks, i cant use the front camera.c'mon Nokia people, why put the f...king camera in front if we cant use?

  • i have this phone and i think is great!. works in perfection,camera,sounds! buy this one

  • really super clours

  • i really love this phone especially when you can put an iphone theme on it good camera,good sounds over all its a pefect phone(6288) not 6280

  • had this phone and screen bombed out, it would rotate the screen and then would just go blank.not recommeneded

  • there is no more colours

  • i had this unit for 2 years, i spend a lot of money for the lcd replacement, the battery bloated and there something corroded in the unit...ther is no option to use the front camera to take picture like N70 has...

  • And 1 more thing! 8) The handphone camera is really crap So if you are on a low budget and just want to get a simple 3G phone, then this is for you. Any ppl here who enjoy taking photos, dont like noises in them esp during a night shot.

  • I've had this handphone for about 2 years. Here's some good reasons not to get this. 1)Battery is flucutating 2)My calls cant last more than 5 mins 3)Restarting by its own 4)The handphone is already so thick moreover a bloated battery (might be over charging) 5)Back cover doesnt fit anymore 6)You should get better 3G phones as there's much cheaper,better and newer ones on the market now 7)I've to bring charger to sch everyday as it lasts for only 8 hrs. When Im gone home, most probably it will be flat even though I dont receive calls, just listening to music more than half an hour. Using a 3.5G phone now. Looking back, its such a big difference. Overall 6288 is ok except that I cant stand the auto restart and low battery life. Seems rude when an important call ends by itself.

  • it's a great phone.. it's almost 2 years since i have it and it's perfect for my needs. camera works great, especially in video-recording, and the interface is pretty friendly

  • I have this phone for over two years and didn't have a single problem:D Couple of months ago, I bought a 2gb MiniSD card and it works like a charm:D I was lucky to come across this phone. To anyone who is thinking of buying a phone: GET THIS ONE!!! :D:D:D

  • STUPIDEST PHONE ON THE MARKET my signal is always empty short battery life my camera doesn't work my cover broke DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!

  • Is a nice phone, but the sound volume is very low.I think you can make some changes in future

  • i got this phone for like, 2 years now. it never had any problem's. its such a beautiful phone... mine look's like new :D fantastic phone, but with game's, its OK, i mean since its old it support crappy graphics game's but.. what ever :P

  • i have this phone for at least 8 months now and i haven't experienced any problem when it comes to its features.. the only negative thing about this is that the case of the upper slide easily cracks when it being applied with great pressure.. camera is great, sounds got no problem.. and its keypad is very comfortable to use.. :)

  • Watch out that you dont put the screen under any bending-type pressure (eg in your pocket) or it will probably crack.

  • I think I love this phone and must get it now!

  • this phone is problems upon problems i got it for 1 month and it is freaking out it restarts by its self and it keeps saying check info services if u can help me email me at [email protected]

  • I have this pfone and i think that this is realy product of nokia I'm useing it allmost 2 year and its perfect.

  • I have a question. Aside from the keypad thing, is this any different from the Nokia 6280? Because they sell it here but I dont know which one to buy. Need help please. Thanks.

  • i love this phone, look nice but haven't got it.. huhu... i will wait till the price down...

  • its looks nice but i had a lot of problem with this cellphone, event when i unpack it the next day i buy its started to restart on its own.

  • The Phone is a great model, but with a 24 month contract they are really not up to everyday useage. I am now on my 2nd replacement phone and it the screen has just gone again, my contract still is not over but the warranty is, Thanks 3 Mobile! Regards,

  • It is for one year i am useing this phone.it is very nice and easy to use ,good voice ,good camera ,but i could not to install dictionary on it.

  • very good phone 3 months and not a problem very happy now!!

  • Hi, i am using Nokia 6288 for the last 2 years and found it allrounder. its heavy duty, didn't ever put me in trouble due to any fault and very very nice. it covers all fields and browse the whole world.

  • This phone is really great the moment you unpack it. But after a few months i had a lot of problems with this phone. Sometimes it would just restart on it's own, now my camera is not working,and i cannot watch videos as well, one time it shut down while i was trying to send a text message and it it didn't turn on again. I had it repaired and it cost over $100..i recommend buying another phone rather than the Nokia 6288.

  • wow this phone is freaking cool and good......i got this phone about 2 years already...then this phone is perfectly good to be shown off to....you can forget to bring ur mirror as this phone's screen can reflect things.then its camera does look like its more then 2mp...even im a rich man's 14 years old son...i still prefer this phone.Nokia Rocks

  • Donot buy nokia 6288. I bought the phone in april 2007 and now it is not working. I had to take it to nokia care center for 3 times and the price of repairs is half over the phone price

  • I had Nokia 6288 because is no good...The mobile have many problem...the batery life is rather poor...I'm very disappointed....... Now I have a nokia 3120 classic..The mobile it's very good..also don't any problem..

  • Hy! I had this mobile phone for one year...I dropped it down one time and then it was broken down. I was very disappointed. Now I have a Sony Ericsson - much better than Nokia.

  • this phone is no good. when i bought it , it was still ok till the 6th month mark then i have to bring it for service every 3 months its like taking a treatment...now the screen keeps on going blank and also the battery life is worst,u call for 2 mins and the whole phone is dead...this phone is lousy dun buy it...

  • Hi, I found this website after I was looking for a mobile I am upgrading to (Nokia 6600) I have had the Nokia 6288 for over a year now, the only problem I have with the mobile is the battery life is rather poor! I have a 2GB Mini SD card which I have used 1.6GB, one complaint I do have with this mobile is after a while of watching movies or video clips from the memory card the lip sync goes out very badly! However I have found that if you turn the mobile off then turn it on again the videos will however be fine again! I have been reading through some of these opinions and I am very shocked to see so many people complaining about this handset. The only reason I am upgrading to a new handset is because I got a phone call this morning to do so and it isn't costing me! I love the Nokia 6288 and fully recommend to anyone, it's a very good mobile and I take lots of care with my phone, I shall even miss my Nokia 6288 when I get my new phone as I am very impressed with it, perhaps other peoples problems are isolated. But like I say I have had the Nokia 6288 for over a year now and the only things I can complain about is the battery life is very bad and the screen backlight doesn't stay on for as long as I would like it to. Other than that it's a great mobile, not the best but is a very very good phone!

  • This phone cannot handle a battering. If you drop it you will most likely to cause major damage to the internal parts. Everytime I slide the phone it goes blank. The battery dies out quick as well. All in all it is a good phone apart from the things that I have mentioned.

  • I do regret buying this phone. It was all good until it reached about the 6 month mark and there have been problems since. Firstly, the phone kept turning off randomly and said the battery was flat even though it wasnt. Although since it was under warrantly i got it fixed for free. Now it has problems sending messages sometimes, and cannot send or recieve mms at all. I have talk to phone techs and it is a problem with the handset not my sim card or settings.

  • I own a nokia 6288 and have no problems with it!!!!!! Nokia is the best and very uncomplicated

  • this phone does not support .swf file.... is there any way to do that?

  • i was planning to buy 2 gig "micro SD card" and use an adapter to mini SD card. My question is, can 6288 handle a 2 gig card? By the way, im a heavy user when handling a 2 gig mem card. 1 gig for music ang 1 gig for videos.. Making most of it . ^^

  • I cant hear any audio when I take or make a call. I noticed that the Headset icon shows on the screen all the time eventhough the headset is not attached. It works with the headset attached or if you switch to the loudspeaker. Can some one pls help me fix this?

  • I have no idea ...but...im using is with problem -free,,....is just da flash....there is a bit irritating....

  • went from samsung to this 6288,and 6 months later went back to another samsung.i got the nokia because i wanted to be able to change the faceplates,when samsung cannot.this was more trouble than expected the screen parts would come loose,parts would bend (i was very careful too).overall,not happy with the 6288.felt like a downgrade

  • I brought one of these on a contract 2 years ago, had 2 ELFs and the third had to be sent away for repairs 3 times in 6 month. i ended up selling it for cheap on a forum and invested in the N series!

  • This is my dream phone, very appreciated with the photo quarity, and video can clear in my p.c. in a very low price, only defect is only the screen can not charge cover, have to charge all cost about RM 100.00 over.

  • Yes, mine is too. It disappears all of a sudden :[

  • The nokia 6288 is a great phone but with time it soon loses most of the important features. Booho your bluetooth not accepting other phone devices, is the first sign of it not going to work in the future. I did experience the some problem and now my bluetooth is not working at all.

  • I would like to know whats wrong with my bluetooth al of a sudden I can not use it it fails to accept from other phones is the a list of competabile phones..its really irritating me.

  • this phone has just broke down on my for the 3rd time, 1st the screen 2nd the charger parts detached and broke 3rd the phone freezes and the green button doesnt work i've taken such good care of a crap phone and all it does is break into pieces. you'll regret buying this... ��

After numerous calls to your customer care and taking it to a Vodashop I still cant receive photos. Every time I have to switch my phone of and on again, then I receive multimedia messages for one day and the next day its unable to receive multimedia messages again. They have updated my profile too and gave me this number to phone if my problem is ongoing, but nobody answers at this number:12586322273. Please tell me what must I do to fix this problem??????

  • I've been using my phone for a few months and there's been no trouble at all. My bet would be that the quality of the phone actually varies in accordance to the region.

  • this phone is pretty good for nokia

  • I do not think so.my cousin have use for two months and it is still ok and now the handphone is used by her father while she use her sony ericsson phone.

Nokiaaa i wont buy anything frommm uuuu!!!!!

  • download some themes

  • had mine 12 months,no probs at all,signal always seems stronger on outdoor setting,spec not bad for cheapo fone,camera excellent,flash a bonus

  • Nokia 6288 is one of the worst phones. EVER. 5 of my friends had this phone, 5 of them switched it after 6 months due to technical and hardware issues. it seems that this phone did not pass any quality check AT ALL. the phone suffers from HUNDREDS of technical issues, including serious hardware problems like phone shutting down randomally, alarm clock not working, phone shutting during a phonetalk, screen goes black and never turns on anymore. one of my friends had to return this phone 6 [!!!!] times to repair, each time on another issue [sound not working, screen dying, memory gets rapidly wiped]. horrible, horrible phone. stay away like fire from this one.

  • Good product,but can nokia improve on the quality of the battery?thanks

  • can u change the ugly blue background please post answer

  • Can u tell me the picture nd flash quality of it's. And the features of this phone. Because i wanna buy it plz post ur comments in my yahoo id my id is [email protected] i need ur help.

  • I have had this phone since December 2007. It has been back to '3' for repair twice, and returns with the same problem. The phone turns off randomly (beeps to warn of low battery, even after full charge) and I can never seem to get a full signal, which sometimes drops out while sending SMS messages or calls. Slide action seems flimsy and the phone feels cheap, compaired to my previous Motorola. On the plus side the software is easy to navigate and the keypad has a responsive feel. Would probably think twice before buying another Nokia handset. If anybody has any similar problems it would be interesting to hear.

  • The best phone i've ever had!

  • so far my 6288 has given me no problems...i jus wana knw how do i get it to play music while i open an application????

  • the latest phone model now of nokia is now in the philippines. it only cost 1M. battery pa lamg yan. heheheh

  • can any1 tell me what is the latest model of nokia celphone now. coz i want to buy a new 1,

  • the technician told me tha the damage was the flash ic and the flex, because it do not power anymore thanks..

  • i presume all nokia phones pass quality check. if ever you encounter problems with your phones, just bring them to nokia service centers, if you have the warranty, any complaint will be entertained at no addtl cost. there are factors that may have contributed to the damages that have been posted here, either the handling from the retailer to the consumer or the consumer's handling. the features specified by nokia for this phone are functional and couldn't have been posted by the company for consumers to use against them, customer satisfaction is basically the aim of every company and nokia may not have gone this far if it were not true to its commitment. choose a phone that's right for you. i've been a nokia user since SMS came into existence and i have never noticed any problem with all the units i ever had with Nokia. For every fone problem, there is always a service center to answer to that.

  • my husband and i have this phone about 1 and a half years ago; his is black, mine is white. so far, this is the best fone we've had. all the features are in this one: 2megapix camera, videocall, 3G, bluetooth, infrared, FM stereo... anything you want from a handy fone at a reasonable cost..no problems ever encountered. i do not know what will happen if the phone is dropped or gets wet, but i think any phone for that matter would break down. there is a fone that fits for each persons lifestyle. this absolutely fits ours.

  • my nokia 6288 phone is still at the phone repair shop..i have found an lcd at a lesser price..but most people are advising me to buy another phone. the phones features are great, i have no problem with that..i think the problems are the parts of the phone especially the lcd... try to google problems with nokia 6288 and the most common result are lcd problems and lcd went dead or black..

  • did you scan your memory? i think thers a virus in your celphone. try to consult it to the technician,

  • i'll just ask any1 to help me in my 6288 fon, it does not power ie, charge, no display apears to the lcd, what is the prblem of my cp, kindly post your reply please>>> thank oyu!!

  • have had this phone for a week i am very happy with the phone the accesories for the phone ie covers handsfree kits are freely available with no problems getting hold of .the phone is loud i like the way the phone lets you set the ringtones and themes of your choice the games graphics are exceelent themes are easy to get for this phone overall im very happy this is a fantastic phone with great features well done nokia

  • Yes it is my love

  • I only brought this phone yesterday and it cost $179.00 in the 3 store and i have had no prbz with it. it sounds like some of you guys got a dodgey 1 or something..................

  • Try using 4 to 6 zeros see what happens or ring up your customer care.

  • i think its a great fon have had for a year and it still looks new .....

  • The Original Nokia 6280 was already a Bad Phone, this sounds even worse!

  • sucks..had this for about a year..everythings fine then one day, screen wnet black.sounds fine, can even rcve calls and sms. but the screen is all black, took it to the shop, at first told me problem with the flex, now they told me it had something to do with the lcd, need to change it daw, my god, and it would cost me 3thousand..so mahal, and before i took it to the shop, i google for the problem..same comments, lcd problems...this phone is nice at first, but for longevity, i suggest get another phone.. i think this model is phase out or nokia has discontinued manufacturing this because of this problem... what a waste, it really cost me a lot to buy this phone, not including the repairs!!!

  • Got the same problem. Right now i haven't used the phone. I don't recommend this phone also.

  • ive used this phone plenty of times and in a few months the slide went, sound was crapy and just ploblems all the time... so i got rid of it =D

  • Bought this phone in Feb and have had nothing but problems.I kept a log and have been back to the store 8 times. It has been returned twice for full repair and the second time it came back worse. Can longer see sent messages and the ear phones don't work and it is still dropping calls which was the origianl problem.It would also show full battery then during a call beep battery low and switch off. Thurn it back on plug it in and it says battery full but same thing happens next time I make a call. Very dissapointed as I researched for a while. Unfortuanelty I think it is "pot luck" with any phone. There is good and bad feedback for every model and every brand of phone. Have lost all confidence in any really now.

  • i used dis fone for a bt 1 yr and i can say that its features r gud but as time passes by there are many problems occuring in this phone. when i use it the screen turns black and sometimes upside down or even sideways. 2nd was the fone mem is always full i can't explain it, even if i restore the factory settings still the fone says phone mem is full so i recommend not to buy this fone. dat's all. :D it is only my opinion, it is still ur decision...

  • Hi there I had the same problem you need to update your phones software just go to your dealer and they will help you. Thanx

  • can someone pls tell me whats the volume code for this phone.

  • might be others are using same 6288 copy mobile so they are facing problem.But i have orded from foreign country 1and half years before in 28thousand it is best mobile i think so it is very fast and easy to operate.hink i like most is no virus problem

  • my daughter has had nothing but trouble with nokia 2688 for god sake do not buy a nokia 6288 bcos you get no help from nokia they just tell u nothing wrong with phone and when u get it back same thing happens

  • you need to change the flate bande...in a service gsm

  • First of all the facts. This phone is available on a few carriers in Australia at the moment, it is between $200 - $300 but will be locked to whichever carrier you get it from. The sad truth about this phone is it's the phone that could have killed nokia. It seems fine, but like all good things, that comes to an end. Software issues are just the begining for most people, one little thing goes wrong and the phone will die. Working with phone for the past few years has taught me one thing, that although this phone has a nice design and features that look good on paper, it is all a lie. My boyfriend has this phone (obviously he got it before he met me or i would have stopped him), and right now he has no problems, but I wait for the day when it will decide it hates him and decide to freeze all the time or turn it's display upside down. It's sad that Nokia could come out with something so unreliable. Don't get it if you can avoid it... if you already have it, I hope you have gotten one of the 1 out of 10 that will not die.

  • I had this phone for about 6 months and it is a nightmare!!at first it seems all good and well and then starts switching off by itself,the picture is upside down it blanks off and on and just is a real disappointment.i had the 6280 before this and Nokia couldnt repair it so they gave me a brand new 6288.i thought i was lucky,its actually a big waste of time!!

  • one of my classmates has this one the screen is perfect(in my opinion)but i dont know about mp3player

  • i am planing 2 buy this phone so can anyone tell me if this phone has a better screen and an mp3player pls answer me befour i buy it

  • I've used this phone for about close to a year. I had no problems with it until recently. The screen blacks off and appears upside down. Im not sure if its a software problem. I really don't know what is happening to this phone. Can somebody help?

  • useless phone man. had so many problems with it freezing etc.

  • this phone is very nice i hav used it for 1 yr already and i hav no problem with it.

  • I Think this this very nice. I have used this phone for a year and until now I dont have problem. Altought the quality of camera still 2 MP and can get picture best in light less.

  • i want one!!! no i dont want one i NEED one how much are they precisely?? i heard they were aroung 200-300 bucks?? probably wrong tho please reply asap..!!!

  • worst phone ever, battery lasts 9 hours, random at restarts, BAD lcd, always stops working, this phone is good for the first 4 months, then comes all the problems. clumsy sliding mechamisn, so rough and eventutally it slides down when im in the middle of a call! and also when i answer a phone call it automatically hangs up! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. is a accident waiting to be bought.

  • this mobile is really fantastic...i bought it from year and really it is so nice .. i don't know why it is banned:S

  • i want this phone by all means

  • i want this fone!

  • i want to have this phone!!!

  • i'm currently using this phone, mine's made in China but i got it as a bundle for a postpaid plan from a reliable network, with a 2-yr nokia warranty. i think it's a great phone, generally. the 2MP camera takes nice daytime shots, but it's really noisy when used in low light. i love the screen display, very bright and crisp, although the colors aren't as good as SE phones. i also use it as modem when i surf the net. nice reception, only sometimes it "reboots". it doesn't lag when you navigate in the menus or when you use its built-in apps, unlike N70 and other Symbian nokia phones. but i do have a problem with the music when played in the built-in speaker, it sounds "basag". the ringtones are not very loud also, sometimes i can't hear when someone's calling and the phone's in my bag. but all in all, it's a good phone. just don't drop it or let it get wet. take good care of it,.. don't blame the phone coz if you're not very careful with it, it will definitely break.

  • hello..want to ask all of you, i have this phone Nokia6288, is the calculator in the organiser easily erase? mine, don't have a calculator right now..I don't know what happen..please help me...thanks..

  • i had this phone for about 1 and half years. below is a list of its pros and cons: pros; beautiful screen loved the bright and crisp display fast user interface no lags between key strokes good outdoor camera takes great shots outdoors with sufficient light music player decent quality music player has a lot of cool downloadable themes Cons; awful indoor camera low light photography simply sucks. the built in flash is a joke. the flash bulb is improperly placed. flash reflects off the inside of the housing and ruins your photos. too much noise in photos. a heck too much no screen brightness control

  • i bought dis hp 1yr ago... but now gone with the wind... tsk tsk! dis phone beryy gudd.. n kawaiii ^^,

  • awsome

  • i bought this phone 4 months ago and its still goin good.only problem is if you try recieve a file via bluetooth that is too big you cannot make it save straight to your memory card.but otherwise its a good phone.

  • its been a year since I bought this phone! And it still working fine! I really haven't experienced anything major like some guys below so I'm really thankful! But since its a mid end phone it doesn't have that much of a WOW factor and is very average so you may find yourself hoping that like additional features are added in this phone but nonetheless is very great

  • This phone was okay to start out with, Its camera is good, music player is good, But after a couple months it starts to go slow, stop working. i have had so many problems with mine. These phones are 0% water tolerant which means if it rains,, watch out. This phone is the only phone i have ever regretted buying. waste of money, waste of time.

  • I slipped this phone up me and couldnt get it back... the most enjoyable experience of my life... wonder if the nokia n95 works wonders like this? ;)

  • Its a good phone at the most and I just I love it the pictures are clear but the video nt show how to extend the capture time.In all I love it

  • i enjoy dis fon... but after a yr i dropped it and my LCD shattered. after being repaired everything is ruined, it's NOT WORKING AT ALL... HOW SILLY IT IS!!!

  • i work in a phone shop as the manager. my staff members and i refuse to sell this phone to customers due to the fact that it would have to be the least reliable phone ever made. when the nokia rep came into the store we told him to tell nokia never to make anymore of them. we had a box of them sitting out the back so when customers came in with problems, we could grab them a new one from the box and chuck their old one in there. WORST PHONE EVER

  • Ive had mine for a few months now and mines been great. Only thing is you just need to be carelful not to drop them and things. I dropped mine and the LCD shattred. And it wasnt cheap to repair. It cost me 110 bucks but for what the phones worth I think its worth it.

  • .. i juzt curious,,.about the front camera..its not fuctioning..y?how to actiate that?

  • hey.. just curious can you change the keypad of this phone?? the black keypads??

  • having it for the past 3 months, only thing not good bout it is the camera quality, esp at nite, it looks very blur. besides that it is the best so far I had others

  • I hv this phone for about 1 year. Phonebook was bad. The numbers sometime don't appear. The sceen became dark all of sudden.Sliding mechanism seem ok but sometimes sms cannot send out.

  • i got this 6288 last january...over all its good.. only the sliding mechanism is so rugged, its so rough... the music is ok camera is good, but not during night time... the only problem is the slide, and sometimes, it is having its auto restart... the battery life is weak, i can't use it for a day,only 20 hours..then it's lowbatt, charging time is so slow, 4 hours or more.. good texting, group messaging..haha..

  • just bought this phone and very happy...tossing between this and lg chocolate and luckily i got this. although not as pretty, features are great and the design is very simple yet professional! so get it if you are considering it...

  • I only use this phone for 2 month..the worst thing that i ever had is it was "AUTO RESTART".i have sent this phone for 3 times to the services centre in a month.this is the worst phone that i ever had..=(

  • Can someone tell me if Sony Ericsson V630i can block (put a code) on some applications?or on the keypad..please help me

  • I have had the Nokia 6288 but I can not get the radio option working. I have read that it used the headset as an antenna but its no working it does not even let me going in the radio option. Is there anyone that can help me get the radio option working

  • I having 6288 it's really very good iam using this from past one year. only thing i dont like is ringing volume is very low compare to my 6070

  • i have had my 6288 for almost a year now. i think it serves it's purpose. i like everything about it except that it's not as handy as my 2100. on a scale of 1 to 5 i'd rate it a 4. :-)

  • gyes, I have this phone but it's not loud enough as 6300 for example. what do you think???

  • is this phone good or not?

  • noobs!!! 6288 is marfaciune !! i have it since may 2007 , works good, no problmes ! batery - 3 days, camera-good, music - love it :X

  • Yaa I am using this phone from last three months.It's super. But in dark center it can't take clear picture even with Flash mode.This is the minus point of this phone.Either the phone is tramendous.

  • I have send in my phone 11 times to the services center in the last 12 months. Same old problems like, auto shut down, incoming call no ring tone, no vibration. incoming and outgoing call-can't heard the other party but they can hear me, have to hang down and call again then its ok. calls get terminated half way thru the call. Now latest the radio frequency automatic switch to other channels. Note : the very first day, first hour, it started to give me all this problems. Strongly against buying it. The worst Nokia phone I ever had.

  • i bought this fone in december 2007. it was greaty to start but after 3months the bluetooth just stopd workin. batery life was 2days and now only 1day. cant use the front camera and cant use all my applications without getin cut off by the gprs or 3G. its a pretty fone but cant enjoy the music facility bcoz it runs down the battery in afew hours.

  • This phone is gr8..have been using it for more than 8 months now..got it on a contract with Network 3 and its the best i ever got.. Camera clarity is good even though i expected it to be ok its very good..sound is excellent.. Overall a very ggod phone

  • u cannot use the second camera 2 take pictures. it doesnt function like that

  • pls, to whom it may concern, esp the nokia authority,my nokia is 6288 and my IMEI or serial no is 355547017755019 and my mobile no is +2348035775431, a nigerian u want to say, all i need from nokia and authorities is how to get an anti-virus on my phone or else i throw away the phone and go for another product, a friend of mine has problem wit his and all where is has gone, he was told there is no anti virus for the phone, which i dont lie, it is easier for the image of nokia here in nigeria has one of the leading ICT countries to be tarnished just with a simple bad rumour which spreads faster than anything u can think of, so, nokia and authorties sh take note, tanx

  • i tink dis fone is not very good for africa manzem rike me...................in congo dis fone is not very papolarr alldoe it is good for some peples GOOD BYE!!!!! africa salute all the africa manzem

  • One of the best phones. Size does not matter. Beats even N91 in music quality, provided you listen thru original handsfree. Network catch is superb, ringtones are very loud can here in crowded streets. PC compatability is very good. IR and Bluetooth are very handy and easy to use. MMC can be upgraded to 2 GB, so unlimited hours of listening music.

  • actually am somhow now confused about this phone atfter readin peoples opinion about, though i bought mine just 2days ago,but i know either good ar bad, i have no option than to allow the phone to perform what it was made to do, i dnt believe in condeming the phone bc what u say with ur tongue is what u will experience, so, i want to say i will use this phone to the best of how long it wil work for me ( say 12-15yrs) with out any problem, so if u believe this phone will work well for you, why not go out and buy it and if u feel or think otherwise, the choice is ur, but for me, i rather use this chance to tell nokia to pls make some ammendements on this issue bc i know ther r also readdin our opinions on this phone. sam

  • i wouldnt recomend this phone. i had a lot of problems with it. phone kept freezing and turning off during messaging and phone calls

  • Hi there, Pretty interested in buying this. Just a few questions, any help would be GREATLY appreciated. 1) How many sms messages can you store? Is it like say 300 inbox, 300 outbox etc etc? Because on my old phone (Moto V1050) I could only store 130 messages total (inbox and outbox) and that was annoying. 2) Whats the battery life like? I dont tend to ring anyone, and I really only use a phone to txt someone, the rest of the time its in standby mode. 3) Is it easy to txt on? Are the buttons hard and do they make a clicky noise? Or nice and easy to press, and does it lag on screen or letters appear very fast? Thanks so MUCH!!!

  • i bought this phone in october 07 it went fine for a few months then all of a suddenit wud turn it self off, not save or send messages and wen i turnd it bak on i had to reset all mi settins ie. wallpaper, ringtones, n wudn download off the internet verywell =[ last sat sum one stole it n on thurs im goen to buy yhe same one even tho it was crap lol i jus like the look n sound xx

  • i had no problems with this phone.

  • DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. it has numerous issues that hae not been solved.a month after owning it the slider became loose and the battery length is crap. the biggest issue is the tendancy of the phone to turn off while txting or calling. and when i turn it back on it has full battery again.

  • it sucks its not symbian and it has a lot of software problems

  • yah right this phone is worth trowing...POOR camera....

  • ..this phone is totally not good..i bought my 6288 2 weeks ago and while im txting it turned off and did'nt turned back so i have to return it to the shop..i dont know if the malfunction was due to factory defect or the phone is simply not good..help me with this..can i returned it back to the shop so that they can change my unit?it malfunctioned twice with the same problem "no display". what am i gonna do?

  • I have teh phone love it each and every day.. so far I have it over 4 months and its the best.its perfect. Dropped it once on the hard floor, still perfect. I worship my big phone.

  • I just got this phone and it didn't last up to 4hrs in my possession then it went all "mad". I took it back to the dealers and I was told that it was affected by a "comwarrior virus". And to the best of my knowledge,this kind of phone doesn't get affected by viruses, only smart phones.

  • it a great phone had it for 14 month drop it more times then a little and it is still going best phone i have had

  • really liked this one... anyway altho' it might crack in certain places,it's not true in my opinion that it breaks easily cause i dropped mine quite a number of times.. lol...

  • this is the worst phone i have ever had (ive had alot of phones) it borke 6 months before my Motorola v3x did. do NOT i repeat do NOT buy this fone it is weak and cant handle 1 drop. dont waste your money on this phone

  • i'm buying this fone tomorrow and i hear great things about it my mother and sister in law have it and they havent had n e probs wif it. it'll b better then my razor v3x which is dying after a yr and my dads has already died. so i cnt wait to get this fone :)

  • its a wonderfull non symbian phone and th epicture quality and video quality are wonderfull. the disadvantage are 1) you cantfast forward or rewind videos 2) you cant open more than one application at a time and thats it. otherwise the phone is simply superb.

  • its a nice phone but i dont if it is symbian or not and if it is then which version it is. if someone knows pls kindly mail me if u know its specification listed above

  • the nokia 6288 is a headache i work in a phone shop and the 6288 is always coming back with the screen stuffing up keep this problem in mind if your concidering purchasing this model they were put onto prepaid and then they were recalled, we re issued to stores aprently all tested ok but shortly after the new batch were coming back

  • hihi878: go to ur phone operator and ask them to do the settings for you tamana: do u mean to take pictue by the front camera? im sorry to say that it's not able to do so. 6288 doesnt have such function if u are thinking whether to buy 6280 or 6288..i wil stongly recommend u to buy 6288 with a more-or-less same price and same function, 6288 is totally looks greater than 6280 to put a brace to the phone, u ave to remove the back cover, and u will see a small hole at the lower right corner, u can tie wateva u like there

  • i've been using this phone for almost one year.. and i encountered lots of prob with it listed here some of the goods and bads about 6288 1st..it takes a long time when u switch on your phone..around 2minutes. and stimes it do restart automatically. either when im on the net or playing songs 2. message can only be saved in phone memory and it's not really enough for me as it can only store bout 3000 messages. i've asked some of my friends which work as phone technician, they told me there's no way to store ur msg in memory card 3. it's 2.0Mp camera not rily gud compared to SE. it takes about 5sec to capture a photo and u cant really move while u taking photo..otherwise it wil become blury or cant even open 4. if u play chinese song thru the music laer, it might not show the correct song name. but this cud be solved using some software 5. the front camera is not able to capture photo as well 6. the battery runs off vey very fast if u play games on ur phone. can only last for 1 day..meaning i have to charge my phone everyday (not cheatng, maybe it's the prob of my phone) 7. low internal memory (about 5MB only) 8. only support mp3 meaning u cannot download wma to ur phone. the reason i bought this phone is mostly becoz of it's design..it's awesome.. and it's keypad suits me the most as i have big fingers..XD althou it brings me alot of troubles..but i still love it! strong recommendation for those who are looking for a cool and well-functioning phone but dun expect too much as well ^^

  • im reaaly confused y i cant fast forwrd all movies while watching it.. is it just the phone and OS defect itself of just what? cud somebody tell y is it so?

  • this phone sucks. it switches off by itself and back on. but it looks good.

  • i had dis phone for 6 months already. it's very good although i never actually tried the 3G thingy and i dunno how to use the camera at de display. mebe we hv to use video calls to switch it on. but my fren said for de model 6288 the front camera actually cant be used. it's just for nothing. i hope she's not right. dat day i took video during my fren's birthday party but sadly de video couldnt be played. it can only play bout 3 seconds then it's stuck. even when i transferred it to my laptop also the video stuck. then i couldnt play the golf n snake games. however when i switched it off n switched it on back, i can play de games n de videos also can play well. so far dat is all de problems i encountered wif dis phone.

  • Its a gr8 phone..love to use it..got with a contract with network 3.love the music player,the camera's gr8 as well.. love making video calls with it as the large screen has its own fun .

  • i think that this phone is a very good phn and for those who think that the battery doesnt work or it turns off while your txtn youve just done something to it yourself overall its a very good phn

  • Very prone to bugs and just old- get an N73 or, better, a 6120c

  • It runs on the S40 system- I wouldnt bother with it..

  • I had this phone a couple of months ago. At first it was working fine, but then it started hanging. While composing a sms, it hangs and then the phone restarts.

  • Can anyone tell me what system this cell phone operates on? Thanks.

  • For internet problems "modem not found" download and install software for 6101 works like a charm or do the connection manually.

  • this unit is good as long as you know how to handle it with care..since slide up phones are quite sensitive coz they have this FLEXCABLE..when the flex cable gets damage, the phone losses its display and keypad wont function.

  • help me.............. First tell me how to remove the front cover .I cant remove it. second my phone keeps flashing black then after 10 sec it returns back to its normal state .i want to format it because it might help but i do not know how. thanks.

  • I bought it 4 months ago and so far - so good. I had just few smaller issues about it... Like, it restarted on itself few times, the slider started to make those sounds when sliding... and... comparing to by brothers one's - 6080 - his one has a much louder sound when putting it to maximum. So, I'm not able to hear it ringing sometimes when in a crowd or something... But, all the rest is fine... like battery, design, size, content and other abilities... I'm a Nokia fan...

  • i've read more than half of your opinions, and i became doubtful of buying this phone because some say that this cellphone is weak and easy to be broken. well, what's the real score? will you please help me? thanks a lot..

  • can anyone help. I installed the pc suite with modem drivers but when I try to create an internet connection with pc suite it returns a message 'no modem found' yet I can use all other pc suite features

  • Is it true that i should charge my nokia 6288 for 16hours when it is brand new before i can start using it/

  • i had been using this fon for the past 5 month so far it`s still good,only the sound of the sliding it`s a bit annoying,the rest still find.

  • i couldnt find the place to put sim. where it is

  • i'm gonna get this phone. I just bought it for 220 dollrs. this looks gr8 mannnnnnn.

  • As a Nokia Fan I should admit that 6288 is THE WORST cell ever. My 4 months old Nokia 6288 Vodafone just died few days ago and now I am waiting for the service to respond.....Advise all of you NOT TO BUY this model. N73 costs a little bit more, but is every cent worth. Best Regards

  • The best value for money phone!

  • I've got a 12 month old model 6288.The blank screen occurence showed up in my phone too. had to send it for servicing.. it was some supposed lcd display error. it's fine now. but the rapidly diminishing battery power is such a turn-off to this otherwise user-friendly phone.

  • yup simply its coool! i lyk it

  • I�ve had it for several months and not had any serious technical problems with it. It has turned off by it self few times and I�ve experienced some signal drop The only thing that annoys me about this phone is how big it is. It's about 2cm wide so it takes a lot of room in your pocket. I would like to have WLAN the 3G is way to expensive

  • how do you get pictures of your phone on to your pc?

  • hi my front camera dosent work enymore X( in rest is a best phone

  • Very nice phone and has lots of features that u cant really find in other phones

  • to lyn , The front camera is not to take pics but infact that camera is for video calling. The camera at back which is a 2 MP camera is for taking pics or for video recording. Welcome in advance.....

  • nice phone but the battery not so good. If i use the fm radio and talk more than normal the battery needs to be charged every 2nd day.I have changed a battery 3 weeks ago but no difference.

  • Two major points. The battery life on standby is dreadful. The back-light in-action time is dreadful; it lets you see the screen for 20 seconds or so and then blacks out.

  • this phone is very disappointing!!! the lcd's gone bad and you have to wait literally 5 minutes before it fully turns back on. i only got it not even a year ago and it's already bad.

  • nokia 6288 are specification for me!its good

  • can some one please explain to me how you use the front camera on the 6288 to take out pics i just got the phone and a little lost

  • Nice Phone......silder is TOUGH! nice design...comes with 512MB which is good! and alot of Feautures!

  • what is the difference with 6288 and 6280? and which is better?

  • i think the comparison between this two kind phone is just the same the series is 40. many people using nokia 5300 but i prefer use 6288 the black one, so beautiful, will not disappointed..

  • 6288 best as per specifications against 5300

  • to wat, go with 6288 for better specifications.

  • right now i am using a 1gb memory card in my nokia 6288, i've been using that for a year now....

  • ----> to WAT: 6288 is much better than 5300..i swear.. ;o) it has much better camera and a flash..plus it has VGA video..compared to 5300, it only has 1.3mega pixel cam & QCIF video without a flash.. 6288 for me is much better..�

  • which 1 is better, 5300 or 6288? please some 1 tell me.

  • This phone looks fabulous, i'm not sure about the functionality yet but i'm doing research. I'm looking forward to buy one...the black one izz beautivul.Louisah M

  • netweork is down all the time,i cant hear it easly . iam always use vip. to follow my mob. also after one year i cant find the second camiro for vidio call ? if u find it pls tell me wher ? beside it freezing and u have to restart it again . DONT BUY THIS MOBILE.

  • i love this phone

  • hi everyone, can any one tell me where i can get compactible games 4 this fone?

  • phone keeps freezing

  • this phone is superb

  • ni problems 3G

  • I have one for almost a year, wonderful phone. I recomend the black colour even though i have the white, as the black fits the overall finish colour. very elegant phoneif maintained well enough, BIG screen but doesnt have S60 onboard :( people might get confused with the older brother, the 6280. between the two i think this is the best in thrms of finish. check with the memory card speeds cause i bought a 1gig VTHREE card and saving picture speeds are extremely slow. Go for SanDisk if you can. sound cant compete with some likes, avoid excessive editing of the equilizer cause you might break the speakers. Problem with mine: my phone began showing signs of dirt(or maybe rust) in the rails of the slide(probably because of the black plastic finish). other phones ive checked dont have this problem, but take care of those slide rails ;)

  • What's the difference with a 6288 with a number 3 logo on it's case with a 6288 without that? Please do reply. xD I'm from the Philippines.

  • how is the speaker's quality of this phone if compare with other phone? sound is clear and nice and more louder than if compare with SE k750i?

  • many people said that .this phone has netwoking problem.is this truth? andy many problem,.. how cum ah?

  • yes support 2 g card without problems and the battery is good my keep 4 days

  • i recently got the new firmware v6.43, what are the differences?

  • Very short battery life, have to charge everyday. But very good features

  • 6288 which colour more beautiful??? i am very confusing about tat eh.. anyone tell me pls..

  • anyone can tell me tat 6288 can support 2GB de memory card?? ppls reply thx..

  • yea .sis formats are only for symbian series 60 not series 40. This phone has series 40. So too bad cant install applications

  • Phone is very nice and stylish. Screen is awesome, sound is cool, camera is fair, battery lives long. Unfortunately I encountered a bunch of very annoying software problems, mostly with the contact list: 1. Synchronization is horrible, it doesn't work as you expect and you will be surprised that there will be a lot of missing or scrambled data. Synchronization is terrible headache and always there is incredible mess after that (I think it is valid for all Nokia products). 2. Sync again. Sometimes when I update my PC from the phone at certain point the phone crashes and everything fails. I suppose the reason is that some contact gets corrupted - maybe the thumbnail or some data entered. I tried to delete severeal contacts and it worked. This is really bothering. 3. It is impossible to edit some (could be any) contacts (I could not figure out which ones exactly). When try to change the number or some detail you recieve alert "Operation failed" and that's it. The only chance is to delete the entire contact and enter it from scratch. 4. For some reason it is not possible to add some contacts to group (I could not understand what's the reason and why these just contacts).

  • Well unfortunately u are not able to install games on this phone because this is not a symbian operated phone, u can only play java games something like that.... But this is good, my cousin have this phone i & found it nice and so appealing!!! a must have piece of machine..... Basic yet superb!!!

  • Hi guys I was wandering if anyone knows anything about installing TomTom onto 6288? I have a friend who says that this phone has a S60 or SYMBIAN (no idea what his was on about) but anyway, i have tyried and found a TomTom application and it worked 100% to install onto my computer and it even tells you how to install it onto your phone. Tried it and it said that it does not surport SIS. format????? ANY IDEAS??? Cheers JOHN

  • is audio quality is good .wat other option is ther if real player cannot be instaled.

  • Hey JP! Y download realplayer when u can download the program 4 ur pc "video convert master" it converts any video file into any other format. Use the 3gp option and set the audio codec to AAC. The program converts the file into the same quality as the original file. I'm using it 4 my 6288 and it works like a bomb

  • hi guy! this fone isn't of symbian one, so u cant install any soft including realplayer...

  • i love nokia 6288. i love gold flake lights.

  • Hello guys!! This cellphone is great!! But Im just wondering if it is possible to install a realplayer to this cellphone. If yes, where can I download the software for FREE? Thanks.

  • this phone is SEXY! I MIGHT BE GETTING IT FOR CHRISTMAS! WOOOOHOOO. they need to make one in ALLLL white. cuz the white top with the black bottom is fugly brah.

  • ok now lately my phones screens seems to F up, while the phone is still on like it goes all malfunctioning and conks out. can neone help?

  • Dear Rocky This phone has excellent sound on loudspeaker - I use it in my car instead of the hifi system. Of course best sound quality is via supplied head phones

  • hey how is its sound quality is it loud enough

  • 10/10

  • got the phone way back december 2006 and i love it very much! so far, this is the coolest phone i ever got...

  • its a wonder full phone i love it....

  • average

  • I have this phone, and the screen broke to easily... Just a caution, if the space on the internal memory fills up, your phone will run rather slow, and then break out with errors... I Have never had this with a phone... Other than that, very user friendly, got my techno-phob auntie using hers.

  • I got this phone for 2 months now and i must say, I LOVE IT. The camera is good and da video quality is great. If u use the program MCFUN SOFT VIDEO CONVERT MASTER, u can convert any video file to 3gp with great quality. If u want more space on your 512mb mini sd card, compress your mp3's to 92kbs. Also for themes, visit the web site from your pc: www.ownskin.com

During warranty period, when having problem with phone, Nokia centre Singapore simply do not listen to me when I pointed to them the mistake. They just ask me to go home and try, and make me come back the next day, where they allow the hardware to be changed, which I pointed out the day before. No more Nokia phone for me.

  • Is there a limit to the number of phone entries you can enter?

  • hi, can anyone recommend some website for free theme, app and game for this phone? thank you.

  • is 6288 symbian?

  • HI if ur thinkin about gettin this fone think again get the 6280 its bassicly the same but it doesent have all the problems that the 6288 does such as stoping half way thougha song ect thanks....

  • err...6288 is one of the latest iterations of series 40 3rd gen....

  • i'm afraid to say it's not quite a good phone.. i mean, it wasn't at my expectations. u can't minimise an application, u can't switch fast between calls, the camera doesn't have autofocus, so it can not take close photos.. the slide is rather sensible...allthough the 123-# keys are very soft..it's a pleasure touching them. but still, the software on it sux...it's even weaker then the software on 6280.., and it's NOT a Series40..it is older than that...but the VGA VIDEO CAPTURE it's exquisite

  • to J yes i have a 1gb card, it came with the phone lol it works well. hope that helps

  • Got this phone earlier this yr (bout june) on the network 3 for �15 a month (600 sms/mms & 75mins voice), at first i thought this phone would be another tacky chip give away by the network, buttt.. THIS PHONE IS BRILLIANT, ive had a few errors with the software, but Nokia and 3 have been brilliant solving this; The keypad froze and permantly locked, Nokia updated the software over the GPRS network and the phone went into SAFE-Mode (Self repair mode as i know it!), it has since done it again but the phone goes into the safe mode and fixes itself!!! BRILLIANT!!! Other than that there are no problems with the phone!! ALSO, ive seen many ppl comparing this phone to the N80, U CANT DO THAT, ones a symbiant phone the other isnt!!. If you want a phone with a operating system like windows get the N80, if not get the 6288, value for money get the 6288. this is one of nokias best phones out (Except the N95!) GET IT!!

  • Can someone explane haw to download music to the music player

  • Phone is working very well. i need some document reader from NOKIA 6288 Can someone help me please?

  • how big (in inches) is the display screen? and when you take a picture with this phone, can you do it without opening it up and just turning it sideways?

  • Are you able to put a 1gb sd card into this phone?? Anyone already tried it?? thanx

  • which has a better music player this 6288 or the n70?

  • this is a very good mobile than i saw it is more modern than n7o and n80 and also n 73 as i see and all mobiles cant catch this mobile

  • i've compared the n80 and the 6288 and what i saw, n80 has no spring when u open the slider & the displays : 6288 has got a brighter & true colors display than n80, the 6288is better than n80, this is my opinion ,

  • suddently the slide from my 6288 works back perfectly,it slides very soft with no schratches, thx , i recommend to buy this phone , Nokia rulz

  • iRolex that just means that u got some dirt or a bit of food or something in it. try blowing on it. if not send it back

  • please help ! can anyone tell me what is the problem with my 6288 ? the slide opens too hard, i can hear something is scratching in it when i open or close it ,please help !

  • With �250, what phone should i buy? The 6288???

  • i have it from a week,but when i open it i can hear some scratches,

  • iRollex it opens too what?? just dont hammer it when u open it. its a mini computer not a baseball bat. just be gentle with it. y is it a problem that it slides open to hard btw?

  • i got problems with my slide on my nokia 6288,it opens too hard , please help ! what do i have to do?

  • the 6288 is just a normal phone like the old 6230 except that its updated and has better specifications. Its a non-OS phone since its not a symbian phone! it can't multi task you cant install .sis files but at the same time it doesn't lag and is more reliable ^_^

  • Hi evry1 , i'm thinking to buy 6288 , but i'm a bit confused , it says dat it soesn't hv operating system , what was that for? Anyway i can see that we can dl themes and games to dis fone , sO what's the difference with other symbian fones? Please give me an explanation since i really like the outlook of thiz fone. 6288 rocks !

  • Nokia 6288's features is same like W850i. At first I would like to buy W850i, but after comparing the features and prices, Nokia 6288 are worthy to buy. 6288 and 6280 are slightly different but for outlook the 6288 are much more better than 6280. Thanks =)

  • Angelo there are no huge changes. Just a few updates and upgrades. 6288 looks cooler;) and about your other question. IRRC(if i recall correctly) your sim card and the sation of the tower has the major impact on your phones over all reception. the antennae in the phone is simply to transmit the signal. So in conclusion. i dont think it should have a problem i dont really no much about that sort of thing so that is just a logical guess

  • >>Risvi you can't compare the 6288 with the n80 function-wise, since the latter is of the symbian family while the 6288 is just a normal phone. Though hardware-wise for me the 6288 has better sliding mechanism compared to the n80 which really and honestly seems like it has no spring at all! But still its all a matter of preferences and with what you'll feel comfortable and with how much functionality you'll need and expect with your phone ^_^

  • Help!, cant turn off the phone!.. any solution?

  • Just a couple questions... 1. Is there really any major differences between the 6280 and 6288? Which is better? 2. Would i have problems with reception/overall usability on the 6280 or 6288 in the US since it's TriBand? Would i also be able to use it in Germany and Italy? Thanks.

  • Rizvi: The 6288 by far exceeds the n80. the n80 has a weak spring in its slide and because the piece that slides up is so heavy. its as though there is no spring at all.. go the 6288 definatly

  • nokia bird : hey. well this phone does not have as many as issues as the 6280 - it looks better, it is a slider, u can get it in gloss black or white which look better then the 6280s look. I would reccomend making that upgrade. u are right there is not a whole difference between the 6280 and 6288 but that is a good thing for u though isnt it because u already no how the phone works. make the upgrade p.s: the only other two half worth while sliders is 5300(and that is not an option, i have one, boy it is annoying. the only other is E65 and that is a busines phone. if u chose the 6280 the first time i dont think it would be such a good idea to go the E65 over the 6288 hope i helped

  • i think this fone is not that great....it is not symbian so u cant download themes etc. but i love this fone because of its elegant look..yeah

  • iv been offered this nokia 6288 on an upgrade on a great deal,is it any good??? own a nokia 6280 at the mo,not alot of difference between the two if you ask me but has the 6288 had alot of problemo's with the software like the 6280 had when that first came out???if so,any ideas wot other nokias are 'top notch'? GOT TO BE A SLIDER THO!

  • rizvi from sri lanka. Pls help me out on this I have 2 phones in my mind 6288 & n80, which is better? forget the wifi. & inetrnal memory i knw that 6288 operates faster than n80. peploe say that n80 has a sliding problem which people refuse to buy is this true? is there are any sliding prob with 6288? which is the best phone? Thanks

  • I love this phone very much, But some time i m facing some problm like phone gets hang so many time while i m listning songs or watich some clips......Otherwise this is my favourat phone ever........

  • this phone is good but the sliding is horriblr.it becomes loose after a while.i dont think it will last too long in terms of its physic.its a bit too sensative.i am really worried its gonna be broken once i drop it

  • This fone is working so smoooth for me sometimes i think opinion expressed on the nokia 6288 is simply unfounded.I have had this fone for 2 mnths with absolutely no problem.The picture quality is dazzling. 6288 users would bear me out.My friends just like it.To the best of my knowledge, If u intend buying this fone ,just go for it. Make sure u buy from a geniune dealer!Thats all

  • I think this phone is a good phone. Before i use this phone, I had use N70. After comparing the picture quality of both phones with my friend, I saw that 6288 has a better quality picture compare with N70. Because of that I change my phone to 6288. I think this phone just only lack in software. Another features are absolutely at ok.

  • please i need to know who can i knew the call duration through the call , is it allowed in this phone

  • i m facing a problem on 6288 i need almost 15 minutes to start up the phone n now even cant start up liao it only show the batterry life but nothing else HELP.. i have very important contacts inside la..

  • i love diis fone ive had many fones and they were all good buh this is da best fone i ever had

  • N70 has more processing power compared with 6288 that's why it may have looked better.

  • I've compared the picture of this phone to my wife's N70 and sad to say that the N70 has better picture in terms of clarity and color. The reason is probably with the way the flash works so that's why N70 has much better picture output. With regards to battery, it lasted normally for about 3 days with 15mins voice, around 30sms, 30mins games, 3mins web browsing, and 30mins mp3. If your battery lasted for only one day, there must be something wrong with your battery or the way you use your phone.

  • To Themba: Of course you can,please try!^_^

  • To Ikda, In my opinion,Nokia 6288 good looking than Nokia 6120 but if compare theirs functions,Nokia 6120 will better than 6288.

  • can i use a front camera to take my picture?

  • i was about to buy this phone on good recommendation, but once in the shop i tried it out and i couldn't use the number pad to type messages. the bottom of the slider is right above the 1,2,3 so there's no room to actually press the numbers. (i'm a side of the thumb typer). i'm not a fan of the two level texting funtions (the number pad and the higher menu buttons). it's a shame cos its a good lookin phone!

  • To SOon, Started from yesterday was my first time to post my opinion. I just read your opinion, I just let you know my opinion, decision be determined by yourself. I not agree you buy W850 because the shortcoming for that phone is easily go blank screen when you switch on the phone or suddenly go blank screen although you never drop or knock but it will happen it self, maybe is screen problem or something connection damaged. I never hear about shortcoming for Nokia 5300, just for some people who careless dropped the phone or any an incident cause broke the screen that�s all. I also suggest you buy a crystal case to protect your phone. ^_^

  • TIKBOY u know wat i also wanted to have a 6300 so bad before because of its physical appearance.. small, stylish and handy.. but i think stores here in the phils only sell 6300 with 128MB max, some only has 64MB.. i never saw a 6300 with 256MB or more.. but honestly speaking 6288 takes better pics.. what i dont understand is they are both 2mp camera but if you put their pics side by side 6288 has better pics.. even if you transfer it to ur pc image quality of 6300 doesnt improve.. my brother has 6300 so i know very much between these 2 fones u are considering.. =)

  • I have bought this phone today and lookng forward for a good result as i trust Nokia a lot and wanted to stick to Nokia itself.

  • Attention: Don't buy from e-buy-global.com ! It's strange that they got mobile phones 70% cheaper, e.g. 8600 Luna - $150. It's that odd, that it doesn't even cover production expenses... So, my advice: don't even write to them. They aren't really from Italy! Their host is somewhere in Israel! It might aswell be some kid playing around behind his PC, and getting his money off our backs. When I asked for their company's registration number, business rate, or something like that, the director replied to me they haven't got it for anybody. 'Cause that's something that has to be made public, so anyone may verify it. Thanks! Bye!

  • Hi all, I had this phone around 2 weeks now. I switched from Motorola E398 to nokia after 3 years.. it is such a nice memories to use my new nokia coz it reminds me my first very old nokia ;). ok back to my opinion, this nokia 6288 is rocks my socks! nice big screen easy to use - user friendly! Downside - battery last only one day :( poor sliding and getting loose after while. check your phone before you buy coz i bought mine from display however sales guy said it is normal for 6288 so am bit satisfied. camera & video is sucks. who cares if you want camera go and buy the digital camera heeheh c ya all

  • this fone(6288) is the worst fone i have had so far. i had w850 before this and s700i bre w850... 6288 has the worst software comparitively... honestly spekin, afart from looks and the slide function,this has has nohing to be proud of.the speaker is v bad and the the music player is the worst i have eva seen.i really regret buying this fone and selling w850.oh n the worst thing is, the battry dosent last more than a day. comaritively w850 lasts about 4 days min for the amout i use my fone.

  • Very Crap phone, my mate just bought one n said it is alright but old applications

  • Thanks HOney18...and everyone. Commments are really good. I'm now choosing between this and the 6300! I like the 6300: -It's small, solid, no movin parts. -but...no 3G (im not relaly sure if i have to wory about that now) -How big is the included memory? What do you think? ---------------------------

  • I using this phone now... but honestly speaking 5300 is better than this phone if you dont use the 3g function frequently. my friend's w850 is nicer to use than mine n im kind of jealous now.. i should get 5300 or w850 sob..

  • Please can anyone tell me how to change the landscape pictures to portrait as I can't seem to find it............

  • i can see that this is a very awesome fone... im planning to buy one...

  • i just hate about this phone is its software when you open the media player you have to navigate yourself to where the videos are located and same with the music player. what's more is that the Apps. menu icon is useless since you can also open applications and games in media player or gallery! that part of the phone really sucks, its like it wasn't given that much thought. and the folder in the phone memory are really useless since you can't store any to them bec of the low phone memory! they should have copied the SE software for non-smart phones and integrated it to nokia non-smart phones! its really annoying since i really love this phone and want it to have a better software! Y___Y

  • the 6288 is a very good phone if i was you ill buy it right now

  • hi i jus wanted to know if the slider is good on this fone. cos if it aint den i'll probs fink about gettin anada fone. fank u . xx

  • had this fone for a week now......all i can say is that it KICKS ASS!!!....camera an video are good.....sound is good........its d perfect mobile for me

  • Got this phone today at Greenhills, 12.5k with 1-year Nokia warranty, white. Though, they're selling the 10.5k without the warranty and with a "3" logo in front, settled with the warranty. Built quality is fine. Best if it this is a bar type. Keypad are good, though, I have big fingers, I can still reach the 1-3 buttons. Sound is good. It's like a N6233 without the other speaker. Themes are great. Not difficult to install games or apps but limited to only 1MB file sizes, what the heck... Can play videos more than 200MB file sizes. Can do video calls considering you have a 3G signal. Camera is good. Almost the same as N70's 2MP, I think both are CMOS, no carl zeiss but will do the job. Anything I forgot?..... Drop me a note.... Ciao! For now....

  • i am using this mobile for abt half a year and to me this mobile is one of the best ones i do not kno why people are having problem with this phone but belive me please please buy this mobile one would be in comfort...

  • which has a better speaker dis fone or n70?

  • i got a 1gb card with it, straight up dawg

  • To Tikboy: i bought it for Php14,500 in Parksquare last April.. 512MB and with 1yr warranty.. original din yung battery, coz i checked at Nokia website i entered the serial number and it was authentic..

  • To honey18: Where were you able to buy a 6288 in glorietta and how much it cost.. coz im also planning to buy this phone.. tnx...

  • To Tikboy: yes, 512MB is the standard package.. got mine from Glorietta and it came with 512MB.. i suggest for you to buy from a reputable store and not from "tyangge".. sometimes sellers replace the original parts and accessories with fake or imitations..

  • and one more thing..de battery.. dis is one of the few phones that come with a 1100mAh battery...dat means it can last longer than any other phone of this category/type.. of course...it all comes down to wat u use de phone for & how long u use it ??? hours on music & games will obviously drain de battery real fast..whereas jus msgin & attendin few calls will givve it atleast 3-4 days...which is pretty gud for a 3g/edge/2mp/262k(320X240) display phone !!

  • and for those havin software problems... 1.no phone is perfect ! 2. don't install unknown or potentially harmful java files 3. don't unnecessarily update de phone's software(firmware)..leave it on version 5.92(if dats de original ver) ! simple as dat...

  • 1. atgalleryp.com ..jus rename those .zip files to .jar and then install them to urphone via de app installer in de pc suite.. 2. u bought this phone knowin its fragile to an extent ..SO TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY !! AND DON BLAME THE PHONE !! ITS UR ROUGH USAGE NOT DE PHONE'S FAULT ! it can last for a long time as long as u take gud care of it..

  • who ever go to GALLERY9.COM to download games??? i have big probs with that website.when i download game,there always in zip file,but when i explore the zip file,no .jar file i found...what should i do???

  • I have had this phone for 3 monthes now and are sad to report that the build quality seem to be poor. Batt life is limited to 3 days at most. Should rather go for the E 65. or 6300. sorry

  • Well its been half a year now and this Phone seems to get worse by the day seems to me nokia are building very fragile phones with as this is the third one that optus has replaced me with not to mention the people who service these phones seem to forget to put things back on it the newest one i have recieved is missing the lens cover and the slider is now basically sliding off the nokia logo on the back on this phone out of ten i would give it a 2 and people who are concidering purchasing this phone DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES your better off with out it !

  • hihi, does anyone knows how to rotate the photos/images?

  • to avoid troubles in ur phone, please be careful. dont put all the programs u like and all enhancers. u have faults too why system got crazy, you put or install anything.. be careful, be choosy in putting programs!

  • Hello. According to the specs, 6288 includes a 512 Mb card. Is this a standard package?...i mean globally, even here in the Philipines? thanks.

  • now that i see everyone's opinion... all i cn say is that we should just take good care of the phone.. it depends on the person on how they take good care of the 6288... for me..this phone is cOOL..and im hoping to buy it really soon.. ^^ and i respect everyone's opinion/point of view

  • hey guys, anyone knows how to rotate the pictures from landscape to portrait mode?

  • its a good phone.but not great.and quite complicated

  • the camera not clear when capture at dark colour

  • I am just about to get this phone with 3 i believe its good as i read the feed back and the functions infrared, bluetooth, camera, video cam, video call, loudspeaker external free memstick 64MB music player, radio and more its good guys buy it

  • i am going to buy this phone. plz tell me is that good or not. From.vee em infhotec

  • I had my nokia 6288 a few months ago,i find it okay. No problem with it so far, i even dropped it real hard nonetheless,it is functioning very well. Regarding the back cover, it is not hard to open probably you just have to learn how to do it,when opening it you have to place your thumb at the tip of the phone and push it upwards.Additionally,you can have slings down the left side of it.

  • What's all the fuss about then?! This phone has been fantastic. My other half got this phone on an upgrade for me from 3 and I have had no issues with it. I have dropped it from a great high and it works likes new. The batt. Life is fantastic as I am always forgetting to charge my mobile phones. Last for about 3-4 days before it reminds me to charge it. Would I by another? YES Lee Hotston (AKA Kitten)

  • Well i just got this phone and have to say not that impress :( It looks no doubt about it. It just The build quality is bad! Slider is terrible. When ever you slide the phone open and start pressing buttons the navigation buttons, on/off it vibrates alot. build quality is poor compared to e65, and my previous nokia. 6233

  • I have just bought it last month and im very satisfied. It's stylish and well featured phone the only downside is it's on S40 3rd Edition OS so symbian files wont work..and yeah it's a finger print magnet :)

  • cool fone

  • bought this phone 5 months back nd since den have had lotz of problems...in the begining it had problems with java applications dint play any...later the screen started to turn off nd den when that got fixed the display turned upside down...nd now when finally every thing got fixed nd i was kinda happy wid it....the camera stopped working :s the phone is with the company 6 daz passed nd still they dint fix it...waiting for it to get repaired.... DONT BUY THIS PHONE !!!

  • this fone have a nice sound n stereo speaker, that is true??? pliz tell me.... sorry,if my englsh is bad :p

  • i bought this cel 4 months ago, now this functioning badly and does not have worldwide warranty

  • very nice phone!!!!!

  • i had this phone for almost 8 months only and i had to let go of it. I bought it at the mall coz i don't wanna buy outside made in china units. i thought it is safer but it's not!! last month it started to shut off. no way to open it.good thing i have the warranty but it happened again. So, i decided to get a new phone. I was very disappointed about it.Plus the fact that the back cover is very hard to open(u might loose your nails) and if you are a girl,u won;t be able to put any chains or holders/strap on it.some images got corrupted.all in all, i dont recommend this phone:(sorry

  • @aratee Thank u very much for ur msg. I've tried what u said, but still couldn't open it. I went to Nokia, and want to see how they do it. They tried... but what surprised me, they couldn't open it too. Later, they told me to open it from the top of the back cover, sneaking the finger nail inside...and loosen the connector one by one. They said that it's simply because my phone still very new and to the fact that the plastic that protecting the back cover still not taken away, but i don't think that plastic could make such an effect and i still don't want to take it away somehow. btw, i have flashed the firmware from v5.92 to v6.1 at nokia center. Could anyone tell me what is the basic differece between these two. I can bet that the newer version is better, but somehow there are some user who think the older version is better. Hope u all have a great day, Nytro

  • mine works fine.had it for a month now,and there's absolutely no problems.think this phone can really last for a long time.

  • by the way.. It has a crisp display,, and i drop it like 5 times already but still alive and no broken parts. i wish it was scratch proof. coz of its glossy case, you can see the scratches easily. :)

  • i had this phone about 5months right now. its a good phone over n70.. its fast. about battery life, when i'm using the phone with often texting, it gives me 3 to 4 days before it drains. full use like always texting w/ seldom mp3, it gives me 2 days. in standby,, uhm i think it gave me almost a week before it drained out. Very Good Phone! :)

  • Nytro... i hold the sides, just the sides,i.e left hand: thumb near the volume adjuster and fingers along the mem card slot, infrared etc right hand: fingers where the hang up buttons are etc and thumb on the bottom bit of the casing, then just push up with the right thumb ... hope this helps

  • Finally, just got Nokia 6288 tonight. Well i never thought that i could find difficulty in opening the back cover. hehehe... When i heard someone complaining about this b4, i always thought it wouldn't be that difficult. I read carefully what written on the manual and follow every single step, but can't open it even with full power. (until i hear krakkk sound, then i stop... don't want to hurt this baby anymore). But it's a simple problem, i will take it to local Nokia center... or anyone who read this could help me. pliz... but still, i have a very positive feeling about this phone. Hope u all have a great day, Nytro

  • pictures are corrupted....

  • I bought the phone today , it's really nice , but the guy at the shop told me that it has a problem regarding the display when you try to upload some music or anything form the PC. Something about the display software he said...i have no ideea :) Did any of you guyz experience that kind of problems ?

  • ryan---- thanks for your advise..actually it doesnt happen when i use MEDIA PLAYER..everything works fine....im happy now!

  • 6288 it really rock's,this phone is made for professional people like us.It has all the possible features what you would think for, this phone is dream phone for me...

  • THis phone is useless in the U.S. All the good features cannot be used over here. The phone has bad receptions.

  • "Bobo"-------the video is the one that has the problems. when you convert a video file using a video converter, the decoder of the video converter sometimes corrupts during the process.

  • please who had this phone for how along does its battery exist

  • this phone is very nice.i like this phone very much. suren

  • i have problem with this phone....now i'm using 2GB mini sd and has lot of music video in it...but the thing is,video and sound not play at he right time! sound/voice produced early than video..or in the other word,there are some lag on some music video.....help me to solve this problem.

  • i was dissapointed that my 6288 only came with 64mb memory card instead of the usual 512mb, but still the phone is excellent!

  • I bought this phone this morning and its great! got it on the 3 network (�20 pay monthly) so glad i got this, instead of the moto krzr. buy the phone! screen size is excellent!

  • yo to all, i have had this phone for bout a week now and it's the best phone nice camera for photos filming not so grand but still pretty good anyways all in all awesome phone. rock on 6288 owners LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

  • >>max anything that is less than your available phone memory will be saved in your phone memory but when that file becomes too large for your phone memory than it is saved in your memory card

  • Ive had this fone for about a month now... its very good, ive had no problem with it aye, its just the little things that annoy you really such as how you cant use the front camera and how you cant use the light as a torch... but those are just the minor things overall its v.good

  • I like this phone,specialy for disign.the batery is very good,can i say five days in stand by,the camera is ok. I am not pleasent with the sound,nokia should work better at sound.

  • Not a good phone:(...unreliable

  • This fone rocks!!!AND, it looks really cool!LOL

  • just bought this phone(wit no intention of buying)..it sells 12-13k...loved the features...almost has everything at a cheaper price..has expandable memory...worth to buy...i fell in luv with this phone already...

  • Hi when ever I receive something through the bluetooth it is saved in the phone memory. Does any one know how I can change that so the things received are stored in the memory card as the memory of the phone is not enough. Thanx in advance.

  • 6233 very nice look classic mobile i'd really like to have it but i need to know about photo's ,sms & 3G service if it's clear or not ?

  • the battery with me did not stand more than 12 hrs , did it from its using or it happened with all of you ????????????

  • thaqnks for ur note :)

  • This phone is very pimpin' . If you like music... this is a must have, it comes with 1Gb micro memory card. What even cool, is that you can download gif graphics from the computer and displays it. The camera is just as good as you can get. It got quick button for zic, picts......u can transfer zic wirelessly and by bluetooth with another express-Music user.....it's cool

  • Both 6288 and 6280 automically ph0ne restart when playing musicplayer ..i dont kn0w is it just bcoz of memorycard i

  • you cant take photos with the front camera, its for video calls only. know your phone before you buy it =p

  • i am realy looking forward to geting this phone tomorrow !

  • i lov this phone, most of my friends have it... i am hurt! :( mine is nokia 6170, suckish phone

  • to BOBO, if u want a powerful headset, use SE Walkman series. very powerful with MegaBass. I owned n93i for video, K810i for perfect shot, n W810i for music, k cheers tk care;)

  • there are many white 6288 here in the philippines being sold in shops but it doesn't look that good as the black ones! its not as glossy and as shiny as the black so it looks more plastic and very cheap hehehe the black one has more sophistication and makes the 6288 a more expensive phone than it really is you can't fast or rewind using the media player only in the music player. you can't use the front camera to take pictures bec its main function id for video calling you can't leave the flash on like in most SE phones i find that some songs encoded with a higher bitrate makes them louder when played in the music player! though some doesn't have changes. the music quality can also affect the loudness when being played through the speaker. there are lots of themes that can be downloaded in the internet for free for this phone! and most of them can really change the entire look of the phone like the menu icons and lots more! its themes are identical and is much the same with the 6280! try searching in: www.zedge.net www.mobile.com www.mobileburn.com its key is the superb video capturing ability!!! recording up to 640x480! and its colors are very vibrant and aren't dull! its also not grainy! almost dvd-like quality. pls just don't forget that it is a s40 version 3 phone, its predecessors are the 6230i etc and not the symbian phone that usually hangs. it is a normal phone with great functions though it is still normal ^_^

  • Great Phone i like the 3g function get to watch all the sports highlights :)

  • please any one know how can i use the front camera to take photos and the back one during the video call

  • it is a very nice phone but i prefered if it smaller than that

  • Thank u very much bobo, U give me a very logic answer... When i saw from the pics, the black ones looks more shining and glossy... and the more glossy/shining means the more easy for our eyes to catch the fingerprint on the surface. I've tried to get the white ones, but it seems like the white variant are really hard to find here. Here in Jakarta, the price now is about 250US$ for package with 512mb m.card + cable data and 235 for reduced package (minus cable data + 64mb m.card). Anyone from Singapore ? How much the average price in Spore rite now? If cheaper than 245US$ for 512mb package , i want to ask my parents who are in spore rite now to buy it for me. :) Hope all of u have a great day, Nytro

  • Hi, How can i use VGA call camera,do u know?

  • aaaaargh!why the volume of the earpiece soooooooooooo small?????i need to listen to the people's voice very careful and if there are noises around me...i can't hear anything!

  • @nytro FACT:white could get dirty very easy.... it's wrong!because when you hold the white version,your fingerprint less visible rather than the black version.trust me,because i am the owner of black 6288 and fingerprint are everywhere and makes your phone look dirty! the white version actually safe to use and very easy to clean because this phone using glossy paint. about the color,it's white(off white) very clean,not creamy white.

  • i got the nokia 6288 and its been really good no problems so far but i am just wonderin how to use the front camera cause i can't figure the damn thing out!! please help me

  • I mean i only have seen the white variant from pics provided in some nokia web. Usually the pics taken by some pro photograph couldn't give the exact description. Maybe it have gone through some photoshop process to make it looks nicer. hehehe... does anyone know where i can find "the real pics" of the white variants ? the most important things, is it (white variants) more hard to handle ? could get dirt easily... I mean we sure have to press the front keypad all the time, and sometimes our hands aren't always in clean condition all the times rite... Hope u all have a great day, Nytro

  • Hi, it's me again, Nytro. I've decided to buy 6288, but still want to ask about the both black and white variants. Both black and white, surely doesn't have any typical association with gender... like males prefer black or girl prefer white, but still curious. if u are a boy, what would u prefer ? black or white...? I've never saw the white ones only the pic provided in some pics. Is it milky white ? or creamy white ? or... Is it glossy also? can it get dirty easily? hope u all have a great day, Nytro

  • can i know what is the difference between the old and new filmware? how can i set the phone to recieve files and save in memory card instead of the phone memory? how do i use the fast forward function in media player?

  • Hi, To all of u who happened had experience using 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

  • Hi, can the flash be set to "on", so that i can use this as flashlight also? tks in advance.

  • Please take childish name calling and remarks elsewhere. I dont think $250 was too much for the phone. im not much a fan of the SE phones , and their features are more tuned to thing im not interested in (i dont really care about the speaker in the phone as long as it works) and i am more interested in quality that nokia does have. The pop port i think being mentioned is not for the usb but for a 3.5mm jack. IF it has a USB pop port why would the accompanying USB cable use the enhancements port on the bottom?

  • gsmarena pls make a review about this phone!!!!! I want to see more pictures about this phone!!

  • its glossy black version looks like a chocolate phone hehehe

  • @pinky go for SE k800.....i have experience with SE,it's sooooo good and very easy to use compare to this phone.i use this Nokia 6288,and i found that Nokia cannot satisfy me as much as SE...and YES SE joystik easy too loose(my experiece with SE k700-only use 9 month before the joystik broke) i had use SE w500 with normal navi key(use about 18 month,and until now still working perfectly)

  • is it true that the white version is limited edition????i just using it for 1 week...everything fine,but backlight cannot be adjusted.(sooo irritating)...like the keypad soooooo much...but Nokia cannot beat my SE w550 in term of sound and user frendliness.but poor me,my phone not have 3D rally games! where can i get it for free?????the screen also sooooooo bright and crystal clear..

  • Is anyone else having trouble with the signal range? I have no signal in my friend's basement, but the other people DO have signal down there. Oh, and one more question. What NETWORK MODE am I supposed to use? The options are: 1) Dual mode 2) UMTS or 3) GSM Please & Thank you :)

  • yes, you can read the specification (try www.nokia.com) that it has a pop port and yes the cable is not included in the package. it's like availing blutooth thru a portable pc, if u wanna have one, buy one, and besides, with the usb cable, who needs the pop port?

  • i have this phone and using it for 4 days now... the problem is the charging... it takes like forever compared to other nokia units i had in the past which takes only 2 hrs to charge.

  • display broke after 2months down for a nokia 300$!!!!!!!!

  • usb pop port? it should be included in the package. it's the data cable that has a usb connection to PC/Mac. to be honest, it's really wasting money for such a phone. us$250? i still prefer my old K750i..........waaaaay better and cheaper! anything about cell-phone features & built-quality compared to its price, i prefer SE. about "reduced size" memory, it's a common thing that the operating system takes about 1% of the capacity of the memory to store the basic important data in it. same as PC/Mac hard drive.

  • This site states the phone has a USB pop port. I do not see any where in the documentation where it has one. it suggests a usb data cable ( CA-53 or DKU-2). anyone with the phone confirm this?

  • From what i can see, the 6280 doesnt support as many network technologies (hscsd) , same size, cameras the same, features similar, just the 6280 is a year older. and comes in diff color

  • I just bought this phone off ebay for about 250usd. came new in box with an added car charger.

  • hi, i just want to know what's the difference between this phone, the 6288 and the nokia 6280.

  • problems with microphone . problems with speaker. problems with display light... just too many problem ... and under 6 months old. Sorry Nokia... what happened to your great phones?

  • Had it for 3 weeks, loved it but suddenly yesterday the screen cracked when it was in my pocket. I didnt drop the phone any where neither were there any other thing in my pocket with it. I just cant understand how the LCD cracked!?!

  • the used memory in the 4gb card is for the management of the card. its for the indexing of the memory and without it the memory card would be useless

  • i have a 4GB in my nokia 6288 but it drops down to 3.7GB but it does use any memory up for ages so you do get up to 4GB of memory

  • hmmm I've been using this phone for about 3 months already and still no problem whatsoever! the nice thing about nokia is its very customizable with its menu and graphics. but at the same time it somehow falls flat with its innovation since their really aren't that much to see here but still i love it!

  • is this phone good?? i just wonder because i am considering to get a new phone.is there anyone can help me to talk about the goodnes of this phone??

  • hi all, is there any newer firmware besides V.6.10? IF so, how can i update it? thanks.

  • is it possible to use the front camera as a mirror to easily capture a picture for my self instead of the back mirror in the phone?

  • ahmad faizal: I'm using a 2Gb one in the 6288 and everything's working fine. Just the saving of the photos takes a little bit longer but it's ok, overall.

  • can i use 2gig memory card in my phn...(nokia 6280 or 6288)??

  • the batt is fine.i only need recharging after 3-4 days.and i use it to send at least 10 msgs a day plus listening to music on my way to sch.

  • should be arriving this week. i think with all the features in it, it should be a good phone.

  • im getting dis fone 4 ma b'dayy nd im not sure if itz worth 2 buy coz of da commentz...soo sumone plzz tell me if itz a gud fone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is really great phone, only I can complain aobut battrey, it isnt verry powerful, and it isnt on the level of the phone.

  • Im getting it 4 ma birthday

  • Good in terms of features. BUT design and performance is below average.For example Sliding mechanism, music / sound and camera is really no where near as good as my wifes Sony Erricson W850. Sad to see Nokia doesnt live upto expectations.

  • How do you replace a memry card??? Thanx

  • it is damn nice!!!!!i like it ......i want...

  • another strange thing about N-6288....PTT button on earphone still works even if keypad is locked (it's in the middle between up/down button). i don't use PTT service, so it bothers me.......

  • This phone is just simply amazing! its camera is very superb when used outdoors!

  • DONT BUY DIS PHONE> waste of money..alwayz hve some lagg prblms .one thing is gud camera buh no zoom..ma opinion buy N 73.itz worth 350 dollars

  • this phone is amazing beyond briliant i bought it about 4 months ago and the single problem that i've had with it is the slide mechanism is not that strong but luckily for me i don't use the keypad alot so i wouldn't have to keep sliding it... oh..it's probably loose for me cuz i tend to play with it alot sliding it up and down up and down up and down... maybe lol anywayz anyone that's looking for a basic all around good phone with a music player and 2.0 mp camera this is the phone 4 u :)

  • i recently bought 6288, all is good,can anyone tell me how to operate front camera

  • bought this phone 3 days ago,and im certainly please with it! its has a big screen which is good for viewing photos,and both its camera and audio quality is good too,esp for the price

  • I love my phone...

  • helo.. before the firmware upgraded to 6.43 (from 6.10), my phone cant send an MMS. after upgraded i can send MMS.

  • i bought this N-6288 2 weeks ago: brilliant screen under direct sunlight, soft-quick respond keypad, smooth sliding system but weak construction (already loosen in the gap in just 2 weeks), poor radio reception, equalizer doesn't work for radio-just the music player, preset equalizer modes not too much different, too much scrolling text in web/email format, poor battery performance (just 2 days in normal operation, send/receive sms 10-15 a day, 2 or 3 phone calls and even worst if radio on all day), charging battery needs 4 hrs?? c'mon! bad camera in low-light situation, flash not working that good. poor quality earphone....it hurts your ears!

  • this is a hell gd phone and its got a $29 plan with the fone for free!!!

  • 6288 is all over good phone. its battary supper 4 GSM. not 4 3G. some ppl reports that it has bed battary. becoz those battery is not original. 6288 has 1100 mAh Poly Battery, which use in N73.. Its camera is good as 2 mega. display is big 2.2". sound quality N video is Boss. Its bad side is phone memory 4.5, its s40. u cant take any pic n video in fornt camera. For fation,rich looking, it is batter. N80,N95 slide not smooth as 6288.U must buy made by Finland. n use 1GB. moreover u should not use any software(JAD,JAR). Than u never find any probm as like HANG. By following my rulls u can never find any prbm. OK friends if u find any other prbm u must in4m me..... [email protected] From Bangladesh. Bast of LUCK

  • Quick Query can a 6288 complete housing thats front and back cover and both key pads fit onto a normal 6280

  • I have had this phone for over 3 weeks now...Its been great actually. Its simple unlike the S60 phones it isnt prone to viruses and stuff. I like the sound quality but the only downside is the loudspeaker is too soft. The camera is preety good as well. I would say its a very good buy for someone who is looking for a simple music and camera phone.

  • To jc = hi..i saw ur message.i've been using 6288 for the past 4 months.its really gud.i had nvr had this problem of the slide mechanism.When u buy it,u have to check the back when u slide.if the screw is in,meaning ur phone is in gud shape.my frewn bought the phone and the screw was out and it was very rough when he slide the phone but everyday i've been sliding my phone like more than 10 times but still no loose.Just buy it..if there is a problem then go to a nokia shop then...

  • to Jen,I'm using 6288.5300 is better in music.6288's music is also loud but only under the headset

  • Hello every body , I have this phone since 1 month ago , everything is ok , i am really surprised about Camera , it looks perfect under sun or good light condition, it is like a N73 3megapixel cam , believe me ! but i agree with ppl here saying about poor resolution in a dark places or less lighting places , but any way it works better if you switch the flash on when you take photos in the night hours ! About music , i really satisfied about it even if he is not professional in music like 3250,5700,5300, coz these phones are better in the music tools inside it, otherwise the sound of music is the same when you put a headset, also it has a perfect MP4 player & great extra 512 memory .. The screen in this phone is brilliant & big.. in a few words this phone is perfect for a low price phone ! it has almost every thing in a low price ! Regards...

  • hi what is the difference if you upgrade 6.10 to 6.43? plz thanx

  • The 6288 is one of the most reliable nokia phones in the market... very easy to use and very sophisticated... u must be crazy is u dont like it

  • of course 6288

  • problem solved! i bring my fone to nokia center and upgraded the firmware from 6.10 to 6.43.(i already tried to update from 5.92 to 6.10 by myself but still no good). thx

  • i encountered this 'not enough memory' problem too. This error occured when i was trying to view pictures. BTW,im using 2G memory card and there's still about 1G of free space left. I do not know why there's not enough memory to view picture of a size of 128kb only.

  • which is better for music 6288 or 5300??

  • music is okay, pop-port gets loose like all nokia fones.. camera quality sucks sooo much i never use it, wasted money, shouldve gotten 5300 or 5200.. battery life is good i suppose..

  • just used it for about 3 weeks,the battery life is good,the speaker is good,the slide mechnism is smooth but a lil bit loose,im using the 5.92 version,any1 know how 2 upgrade?btw the video quality is at best compared to nokia N73 that is always lagging,but camera is poor in dark condition though is great during day(enough light),to any1 is about 2 purchase this phone,it's a damn bargain,good phone at a hell of a low price,therefore dont hesitate 2 buy it;)

  • I've been using this phone for months now!!! And bec is talking nonsense! The phoneis still in perfect condition! And I've also dropped it alot! But its still in best condition! You may think that its slide is poor but wait till you get your hands on an n80! You'll definitely wish for a 6288! n80's slide is so rigid and firm that you can't open it using one hand to slide with ease! The camera is seriously great! especially outdoors! The colors are very vivid! though the indoors aren't too well but is still satisfactory! This phone isn't marketed for neither camera nor music capabilities! But it still do an excellent job on both!

  • I'm using this phone since October 2006 and the slider mechanism is still ok. It's exactly in the same state as it was in the beginning. So ...I'm happy with it.

  • i bought this phone last december and you know what? it only last for about 4 months.. the slider mechanism is loose.. camera function is so poor specially in low light condition.. the flash is useless.. the sound was fair.. (the speakers were recycled from 6230 phones) the menu was good and the themes.. its like a combination of Sony Ericsson and Nokia OS.. good luck to all who bought this phone.. even if you give it an extra care.. it wouldn't last.. peace..

  • hello ppl..will this phone last for few years? read the reviews that the slider mechanism is loose. any nokia 6288 user who have been using this phone for months, is thr any problem with the slider?? thought of buying it though...kindly reply me. thanks. ;-)

  • for ppl who have just got the phone or about to purchase one (or any phone for that matter) put the battery in the phone and let it drain. (all batterys come with a little bit of charge). Charge the phone for 12 hours. Let the battery completely run out again before charging it for another 12 hours. This prolongs the battery life and gives the battery memory a chance to to start working

  • got one and the microphone went on it only 4 months after buying it. Now the phone has been sitting at nokia for the past month getting fixed!!!! was it worth comming back to the nokia????

  • the phone is not very well sealed, a lot of dust has appeared on the display.

  • look nice i used it

  • very nice but only 2 colurs want in pink & should be thiner

  • The sliding is smooth but when I hold the phone its kindda rigid. Not convincingly firm. Other than that, the phone is great!!

  • no u dont ryan, all you need to do is change the sms settings to save messages onto the mem ory card instead of the phone memory.

  • does this phone suppor pdf , word files ?

  • my n6288 cant send an mms.it keeps restarting everytime i try to send mms via message-create new message-multimedia msage-..when i insert image,the fone restart.also from gallery-send via multimedia, then restart!why! i tried to update v5.92 to v6.10, still the same. if u have the answer,please kindly send email to me at [email protected]. thankz people...

  • to use the bluetooth and the themes with big size, you have to delete everything inside the phone's memory!!!!! or else, you can't transfer any file or apply the themes with 1mb or more. that's the downside of this phone.

  • Please let me know if there is a real media player for nokia 6288, and where can i get it.

  • reply to:::::I'ts great..but pls guys help me..my 11 yr old son accidentaly activated the security code of my phone and he doesn't remember what numbers he entered now I can't unlock my phone..pls help... the best thing to do is to enter the code *#7370#....this will format the phone ...but u will loose alll the stuff stored in the phone memory

  • for that person who does not know the security code, unless it has been changed the nokia security code is usually 12345 cheers

  • how then??

  • yes, the frontal camera can take pictures

  • I'ts great..but pls guys help me..my 11 yr old son accidentaly activated the security code of my phone and he doesn't remember what numbers he entered now I can't unlock my phone..pls help.

  • how can i activate my mms and gprs? i already called the network operator (Globe)but untill now no settings sen to me..

  • The phone can only use the main camera for taking pictures. The front is used for video calls only, and can't be used for capturing pictures.

  • what is better N73 or 6288 in terms of sound quality

  • can i take picture in the front camera

  • An Excellent device! I got my 6288 in March. I have been using PDA phones like the TREO but this small device is really great both for the look, the price as well as the functionality. By way of a phone, the sound is clear whether on head set or loudspeaker whilst as a radio /music box - the sound is excellent on the head set whilst quite good on loudspeaker. The Camera gives excellent quality maybe because its a 2MP. Internet browsing is a snap. All in all an excellent phone for the price!

  • The Fone isn`t to thick, its same as n70 soundwise. Just a good all round fone, available for �120 on 3 network.

  • hey, i wana ask something. Nokia 6280 and nokia 6288, which one better? Appreciate it alot, i'm concern about the memory card capacity, whether it will bring it a lag. And the sound quality. thanks

  • yes you can use downloaded themes.. umm what is my active standyby?? is it good to leave on or off? and how do you use it correctly?? thanx

  • can i use downloaded themes in this phone or not?

  • hei can i take pictures in the front camera or not. or can i activate it cause i heard you cant.

  • is the phone too thick, is the sound as good as n70 or better?

  • got this fone week ago.so far, not much to complaints,much better than my old 3230, faster, brighter and larger screen.but lil' bit dissapointed in the camera,it looks like the pic quality is worse than 3230 (much noise) on the same lighting condition,except the resolution much better (2mp).the glossy finish looks beautifull,but leave a lot of fingerprints :) and it already have a little dust inside the screen (but got info from youtube how to open the front casing).also, the ringtones always back to default when applying new theme.so far, just have 2 or 3 times self-restarting :( but no problem,3230 much worse than this he2 anyway, IT'S A GOOD PHONE for the price :)

  • hey can i ask about its video player does it work. is the phone big or small,

  • fred; vga is 640x480 yes this fone has the same video quality as the n95 though of course n95 has smoother more fluid video motion as it records in twice the speed (30 fps)but in terms of video quality as in its clarity both the n95 and the 6288/6280/6233 are of the same level hehe you can search for video samples at youtube for comparison in my opinion 15fps is already fine and dandy as long as you dont wiggle the recorder much heheheheh

  • Hello everyone! Does anyone know how or where can I find a document/pdf reader software for my 6288? I tried several small apps found on the internet but they are almost useless!! Please help me and tell me where can I find such apps!!!

  • Hellow every body, Can U say, is there any chance for the newer version of 6288???? Or, does it have any drawbacks??? Please help me.....I M expecting a positive reply....Pls

  • Is this sliding Technology a lasting one??? Please inform me...... Help me...

  • I wnna know ...whether it will correct the drawbacks of 6280 & 6270???? Bye

  • for dust in the screen

  • help... theres dust in the screen of my 6288!!

  • @blablabla maybe problem lies in the 1st couple of charge. when u buy a brand new phone, the 1st 2-3 charges are important...rumour or something

  • my battery only lasted 4 24 hrs!!argh!! i h8 it.. do u think its just that mu battery pack is broken or wat??

  • This is good phone . I Think 6288 is not common phone. this phone is very user frendly

  • nice battery life, all music lasted 2 days and sms only 5 days.

  • i think it wasn't nokia's fault but i guess the phone was defective in the first place and was just waiting for the right time to totally breakdown ^_^

  • how do i use the light as a torch??? very annoying when recording videos in the dark!!

  • @j.mcleod No warranty? It's still 6 months, you have another 6 months to go before the warranty expire. That is if you get one from the internet seller, I hope you do

  • cannot download file protect!!!

  • I bought the phone on the Internet and liked it very much. After about 6 months, I charged it overnight, I used it once, and then it died. It had a strong burned odor and I was told the phone needed a new board. I have not been able to find someone to repair it. I am disappointed in Nokia as I have had several of their phones in the past and they were all great.

  • 6288 doesn't have a realplayer but it has its own media player for videos and the likes

  • awww thanx killer ill try maybe ill hav to go for three and thanx anne!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thanx anne, but it stinks you cant use the light as a torch (its not even that bright) and u cant use the front cam for taking pictures, other than thats awesome phone

  • To the person who wants to buy one... Your best bet is a shop called computer exchange, picked up one yesterday for 115 brand new, that's on 3 though, probably more expensive on o2.

  • The front camera is for video call only and the flash can't be used as torch/flash light. @ ANSWER ME I wish i could help, but I don't live in your country so I wouldn't know anything about it ^^

  • hi i just got the phone, it's pretty good i must say, however how do you use the front camera for taking pictures?? and how do you leave the light on?? thanx

  • is 6288 have a built-in video player like real one player?coz i want to buy this phone,but when i read it specs,there is no real one player.is there a built-in or installed video player like real one in this phone?thanks

  • I've been using a 4gb memory. It was working fine for 2 days. Then the memory got messed up, and it doesn't work anymore. Was it the phone couldn't read a 4gb memory? or the memory i bought from ebay a bootlegged? Plus, i formatted the memory many times, it still didn't work. Anybody knows if the phone can support a 4gb? thanks

  • ok, so what is rds radio? and vga as is 640*480? or otherwise

  • fred: it has a stereo fm radio (without rds). also the resolution of the video is vga.
