Nokia 6290 - User Reviews

  • I got this phone in 2007,still have a good memories of media expirience on that time. The stereo speakers was WOW,realy excelent!!! Love NOKIA, Im waiting for moment when they will rise like a fenix

  • i hav ds fon recvd, bought by my brodr n law abrod frm romania(made in germany), its great fon since 2007 & am stil using it for 7yrs. by now. no issues, hackd & all okay. thanx to nokia quality!

  • nokia6290 s60 v3

  • can this phone run sis/sisx files? symbian-based apps???

  • perfect cellphone. still using it,works perfectly.

  • Lol!!!!!

  • my nokia 6290 works already for 5 years and its still fine, it has realy good speakers. The only problem is with battery which after these years became short.

  • where can we buy one? ebay is all sold out.

  • Where do we get the Body(External cover) to 6290 model. I'm searching for it . If anyone knows please inform to me.

  • The phone is a nice phone...But the cable is the problen

  • The sim card dock is of. So you have to thin it in. I had the same problem with 5310i XM. My card was ok, but my friends (insert sim or sim card not recognised). Than i pressed the sim card holder to thin it and it worked perfect. Oh yah, his card was from another provider as mine and it was thiner, enough to make problems. I hope it helped for you. Cheers.

  • The phone is excellent! I'm using it for more than 3 years and it still works perfectly. Besides I like its fold model. Very practical and nice.

  • my 6290 got a lot of problems...it seem restart itself when i've inserted a simcard after a few minute....sometime it will suddenly display "INSERT SIM" or "SIM REGISTRATION FAILED" during the standby mode..but it work excellently without simcard..i can take a picture,playing game,listen to radio & MP3..i just brought to "mobilephone clinic" and found no prob with the software and hardware...anybody can help me?

  • what can i say the phone is just amazing i have it since 3 years but im still using no damages or anythin it works exactly the same way as the first day i bought it its got all extras and of all nokia phones this must be the loudest one the music is unbelievable

  • I did, its working for me.

  • one of the best phones from nokia. i have this phone and it's realy great ! ! !

  • i have this phone too and i like it until today the BEST of this phone is the loudspeakers!! i use it since 2 years and i nerver saw a phone which is loud like the 6290 the battery is the second best thing its during a long time for games and music the camera quality is for me okay and i love my phone only what i miss in my 6290is a WLAN connection =) but except for is this phone my favourite =)

  • the phone is simply fantastic. i used it until robbers stole it. it can do so many things, like record, camera, video. best of all, the memory is massive. you can edit pictures and pimp pictures. really nice fone

  • It is a very great phone. But is it possible to take pictures, when the phone is closed, that means with the second display to take self-pictures?

  • anybody tryed a 8 gb micro-sd on 6290?

  • very nice..i really like it. i wish 2 have one...joke!

  • i think it's nice phone , i 'v been seeking one like that science while so thanks for this web site but do any one know it's price ? thanks again

  • Anybody know where i could get this in Singapore? I have gone to some nokia shops and some local telco shops - they have not even heard of this model. :( i have been searching online and only 1 person seems to sell this phone - without warranty. I have a 6267 and its really a good phone, but with the Symbian OS of this phone - this is really a steal. not to mention it's stereo quality sound - based from the review anyway. cant wait to have this phone.

  • Very good this phone, the point negative is the resolution of the recording. The resolution of the nokia 6267 is excellent, your display also; is the all screen, more the 6267 it is not good to web. I am satisfied with my phone. :)

  • so what if u have a 3.5 g speed? i have a 3g turbo internet modem from 3, and it never reach in reality for more than 2-3 mbit/s,, never reached up even to 3g limits! 6290 has better battery, speakers(though n95 could be a bit better), slightly bigger screen than 6120 ��.

  • The best!!!!!

  • I like this and 6290 suitable for everyone cause it very useful. for function is ok and the design is good but colour have two only

  • This is a super phone . Is good in all . Move very fast , loks good , And the speakers are the greatest . No phone have more power speakers

  • my nokia 6120 if far better than that nokia 6290 coz the 3g speed of mine is 3.5g while that is 3g only

  • But Nokia 6267 is the winner when it comes to video quality. High video speed and VGA recording in DVD quality is one of the beauty of Nokia 6267. Video resolution 640 x 480, Image resolution 1600 x 1200.

  • Hi to everybody! Nokia 6267 is the genuine s40 version of Nokia 6290. Believe me I got this information from a review. The only difference is that the latter runs on symbian s60 while the former runs on s40 5th edition. Both phones have great sound quality! Both are highly efficient! Nokia 6267 has a beautiful look while Nokia 6290 has ugly look.

  • which phone do you think is much better? 6120 or 6290?

  • yes you can dial using the front keys, but only for missed calls. You can view the miss calls, then press the left key to call them back.

  • to jane yes if u bi it from china

  • hello, bad phone it wreck the second i rang.

  • can someone help ( sorry about my english ) can i use the buttons infront to dial a missed call without open the phone....thanks if someone aswer my question ?? :)

  • 6290 is really a great phone!

  • Hey everybody. i wanna buy a 2nd phone. and i ld love a flip one. However i live in france and there not alot stores in my city to visit. Anw i would like everybody's advise which flip cell phone is the best at the moment. Not only from the well know brands but from all over the world. Thank you..

  • This phone is a gem! A true smartphone, it has the same version of the operating system as that in the E51 and it is almost as powerful. It took me several months to find a U.S. vendor (the phone itself came from Hong Kong) but it was well worth the wait. It has a very powerful browser (albeit no WiFi) and a host of built-in applications with many more downloadable - some free of charge. I added the Quickoffice extension ($30), enabling creating/editing Word, PowerPoint and Excel files and now I have a full-fledged Office capability. The main screen is bright and crisp, build quality is high (some complained about cheap plastic but I actually find the materials of high quality) and every port (incl. that for the microSD)is covered by a hinged door - a nice touch! Even the SIM card compartment has a hinged lock (similar to the one in the 6126).Bluetooth works flawlessly and syncing with the Nokia PC Suite is fast and trouble-free. The keyboard is comfortable thanks to the large keys and, overall, it is a pleasure using this phone. Nokia did a great job here - even though it is not an E- or N-Series product. I highly recommend this phone!

  • which phone is better? nokia 6267 or nokia 6290....or which other type of flip phone is better?

  • the phone is bulky and has no WLAN but It performs well...

  • does the speaker of this phone is as loud as N73?

  • It's A Great Phone But the Cover Gets Dust in it Needs to Improve on That tHE Glass Also get Smeere I love this Phone

  • I bought this phone and my first thought was "wow it's really big.." but i get used to it :) It's really really great phone! And it has everything :) and it's so fast.. Sound is great... camera is ok... i'm glad i bought it, i don't think you'll be dissapointed..

  • huury up tell me whic phone is better 6233 or 6290 i m waiting from the user response

  • the phone is great! still, i have a couple of questions: - is it possible to customize the functions (key) on the cover? - how is possible to take pictures with the cover closed? Thx.

  • Can this phone both read and write chinese?

  • For the fone lovers, having used nokia 5700 s60 platform....my goodness this fone is marvelous, but a phone of this nature shouldnt have a flip/flap whatever! Nokia...good job here...keep on surprising some of your loyal subscribers like me...for 11 years i have never used any other brand ther than nokia...BRAVO!

  • super phone

  • Can anyone tell me whether this phone can both read and write chinese?

  • Hye there Gaby re your query about dust... Ive had this phone for a while and the screen seems real sturdy, dust doesnt come through. I think thats probably cos you cant change the screens. No issues with dust so far... have fun with your new phone

  • Looking forward to buy.. hope the sound is good and loud..

  • great phone.. had it now for half a year but still looks brand new!! speakers are great!! not like the n series that at one point suddenly hangs... but still in par with the n series! i live in the philippines, got it in hk.. works great!!! i'm thinkin of buying an i phone or an i touch.. so i might sell this.... sad.. huhu T_T

  • uglly ....god ....but uglly

  • Great and super b sound ! Best fone of all !

  • Hey guys,I got mine frome HK and is for only 300$

  • Hey guys... Gsmarena seem to be taking their time with the review of this phone so for those who need a review, you can check out this link in the meantime... Hope this helps. Kaycee

  • Cool phone...Review please!!!

  • i have a question about this phones' flex? is it durable and long lasting? i had a v200 samsung and after almost two years, i had some issues with everything and it turned out that it was the flex from opening and closing the flip. is it also the same with the N76??? does n76 have a strong sturdy long-lasting flex and does this phones' flex last long, say more than two years?

  • Will Tomtom mobile work on this phone?

  • Can this phone work in the Caribbean. I love the specs of this phone and I need to have one

  • cool man.

  • So far, I've read the comments and I noticed that most of the feedbacks here are pretty convincing, now that 6290 projects all of its features as excellent, if not, very good. But how about the dust build up in the main and external screens? does it really collect a lot of dust easily or is the phone is sealed from dust? I'm planning to purchase one in a couple of weeks.

  • 6233 or 6290 They're in a different class. The 6290 is a Symbian60 phone and has an excellent internet browser. The 6233 does not. Also the 6290 comes with several times bigger memory than the 6233. Other statistics are pretty much the same.

  • can anyone say how is the phone behaving after one year??? r the speakers still good??

  • Can anyone say if this phone can use a 2G memory card...

  • Hey..i juts bought this fon n its awesomeeee...i love it... i have 1 ques i want to use camera flash as torch ..can anybody pls tell me whc application is good thanks

  • thanks a lot alheaine for ur post

  • Gsmarena please have a review of this phone... I want to see your review before i buy one... tnx..

  • Thank you very much for "alheaine" :) You helped me :) thx :)

  • does this fone have a good video quality? what is its resolution? can anyone sompare it with 6288 and 6267.. thanx..�

  • 6290 is way better than N76. 6290 + price (at least 100e difference to N76) + sturdy build, easy-to-use buttons + good sound quality + quick symbian OS + all same features as in N76 basically - looks - camera (pretty useless except for sending pictures to friends) N76 + looks (i admit it is a trendy phone) + slightly better file support than 6290 - price - 3.5mm jack in the way, can't open phone when earphones are plugged in - chrome peels off after few weeks of use - button panel is flat, hard to use - battery life isn't up to the standard - a multimedia phone like this SHOULD have better speakers - again, a multimedia phone as well marketed as the N76 SHOULD boast a better camera If you think about it, if you want the functions of N76, you're better off with a 6290. If you want a high-tech phone, you're better off with N95 anyway.

  • You should buy this one! Look at it, it's so cute and has brilliant features considering the price!!!

  • Can anyone tell anything its EDGE performance?

  • I love this phone for its solid performance... As all Nokia do! Nokia 6290 CPU: 32bit Freescale i.MX31 CPU Clock: 369 MHz ROM capacity: 128 MB (accessible: 45MB) RAM capacity: 64 MB (accessible: 20MB)

  • Wow! This is a fantastic fone. I have had so many Nokia fones, but this one beats all the others. It is very quick when responding to the buttons, more than the Nokia E65. I did hesitate when I discovered this was a symbian fone, but it's just fantastic. Lots of memory, keypad brilliant.

  • jon! expensive if your gonna buy it in peso... err, your from where sa philippines??

  • GSMArena's specs of this phone is WRONG. It doesn't use Pop-port anymore. It uses microUSB like all the other new Nokia phones

  • sound quality of external speakers is excellent.. prob equal or better to the n76.. but earphone wise might be beaten.. still great fone tho :) ive had mine for bout 5-6 months

  • Gsmarena Pls plsss Plsss Put On the review of this phone ...i need to know about this phone cus im going to buy soon.

  • I have had this phone for a month now.And I must say Im surprised of the performance.Swift in menu,no problems what so ever.I have had it up and running for 8 days now ( 12 hours a day, of at night.4-5 sms 5 min of talk a day,checking yahoo mail once a day via mini opera(Stockholm network),some snaps and videos and browsing with my Y-browser( a must if you ask me, as well as Divx 0.89)On thing though,You cant switch of the sound for the video cam,there is a software around for the snapper but not for the video(cCam).Its A very god pice, I have had E61,W810,6233 before and this one out perform them all in every aspect.The music player, the speakers, the shortcuts, the software MMMMMMMM.

  • Can anyone tell me about the type of voice quality this phone has? When receiving a call, is it crystal clear?

  • Hi y'all. I need to know if the sound from the external speakers of the 6290 is better than that of the N76. And I also need to know the same about the earphones. Thanks

  • It"s the best phone!!!

  • This phone looks great, the only bad thing is the price!

  • can someone help me with this problem. sometime when I make a call. the other side can not hear me . but I can hear them. only when they call back and it go back to normal

  • If it had a 5 mpx camera ,this phone would kill all sony-ericsson ;) at music is way better then any walkman series, display like the 6131 very big,and bright love it :X:X. nokia is no.1.

  • Hi can anybody help me with this problem. some time when I make calls, I can hear them. but they can't me. only when they call me back. and it when back normal. thank you

  • Hello evrbdy,I have this phone about 1 month and I haven't found any cardinal problem, yet.I paid 260 EUR for it. The battery life's good.By normal using 4 days. The display is great, clear and the colours are very faithful.Phone is very fast and flexible.The keyboard is comfortable...big keys,short keystroke and practical keys' allocation. The videos(320x240!!!) and images from the main 2Mpx camera have very good quality.Independent 2,5" jack for the earphones is very useful.The phone menu is very lucid and logic. My opinion: In this price class the NOKIA 6290 has no opponent. GINO....Czech republic

  • the 3 keys at the front could be used for the music player, or to reject calls (the right key, press once for silence, then again for reject). they hav other functions too, when u press and hold them down.

  • Pls can anyone tell me where I can download some free symbian or java application for this phone???

  • so cool mobile i like it so much

  • I bought the cell yesterday. I am VERY pleased with it. I had a 6270 and 6290, and this one is more robust, lighter, and has many things you can do with it. 16M color screen, nice and clean, great 2MP cam , I bought 512MB memory card ..it rocks!

  • it is so perfect piece . . . i like it the most

  • someone please, please answer me this: those three butons by the second extra display can be used for answering the phone and/or rejecting the calls (when the phone is closed) or are they just for music?

  • Hey...I need some honest answeres from a person who owns this piece. 1) What's the battery life? 2) How's the display big enough?Are the colours good? 3) What are the main problems of this phone? Are they very disturbing? Thanks in advance for some honest answeres :)

  • i just want to by the phone i just fell in love in it WOW...

  • please, please, please answer me this: those three butons by the second extra display can be used for answering the phone and/or rejecting the calls (when the phone is closed) or are they just for music?

  • Its a great phone! Great camera, awesome sound, generous screen size, external display really useful...i use it like an Ipod (easy functions), great features especially Office, PDF reader.

  • reasonably affordable with heaps of potential easy to use , great features , bought with no regrets

  • is this phone available in indonesia?i never see it in the market but i completely fall in love with it!is it better than the others??

  • i hope this good phone

  • Has anyone seen this phone in Manila? If yes, do you know the price? I was planning to get the 6267 but when I held in in my hands the phone felt cheap! I'm hopping to get my hands on this unit soon and hopefully get a better impression from the 6267...anyway, tnx in advance :)

  • It is Bestset Phone

  • My 6290's screen DOES touch the keypad when closed. The marking is not noticeable when the screen is in use, but it's there. The area that touches the screen is the one around the D-Pad. It can be slightly annoying for some, but it really isn't a problem for me as long as it doesn't scratch the screen, which doesn't happen.

  • Is there anyway you can make it so the flash stays on like a flash light. I wish Nokia would put this into more of it's products.

  • no the screen doesnt touch the keypad, ive had my 6290 for bout 3 months now, and its been great. the keys are quite flat and smooth.. and doesnt touch the screen.

  • . ....the 6290 is a great phone! The keypad has a good response and Symbian OS is fast and efficient...Only one negative thing: I dont like the plastic the phone is made of, it's cheap and too slippery.... .

  • Does the keypad touch the screen when closed? I have a 6101 and the screen is permanently marked from hitting the plastic between the keys. It took a few weeks/months for it to be noticeable, so was wondering if anyone has used the 6290 long enough to see if it happens with it. Thanks!

  • yes you can. the versions for symbian 9.1 might work or you should try the latest versions

  • Pls, can someone tell me if it is possible 2 install route 66 or tom tom navigator on this phone. I have nokia n73 and the programes work.

  • review please!!! thanks in advance, gsmarena.. .

  • review please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • does anyone know how the reception is with this phone in the US?

  • my friends say that the phone is for girls not man?what do you think about it?

  • 2 gig is max for this phone

  • i am really wanting this phone! what's the max memory it can hold?

  • this model IS exclusive to europe ! same es n75 is exclusive to USA

  • I am beginning to think that some phones are exclusive to Europe? When will they release this phone and 6267 to USA? Or atleast make it available to purchase direct from manufacturer unlocked? I don't understand.

  • yes, normal is default, then large, or small

  • the phone looks & sounds great but could anyone tell me what the font size is, is it easy to read, & can you change the font size bigger for better visibility

  • Just got one from germany. Nokia didn't release this great phone in the benelux. This phone is just great. Feels good, great key pad, superb sound quality. Very fast navigation. Even with nokia maps in offline mode. It is so easy to use. Very usefull features only Nokia phones have. Bad things? I don't like the way it searches names in the addressbook. (First AND Last Name). It looks usefull but it isn't!!!

  • 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! P.S.: Please tell others, on other forums, too!

  • Yes there are some option to view the documents. 1. Adobe reader 2.QuickOffice(QuickWord,QuickSheet....)

  • Is there a document viewer in 6290?

  • Has it starts on sales in South East Asian countries?Because im love to have one...=)

  • buttons on the front are for reading missed calls, reading txt messages, and using the music player and radio.

  • What are the buttons on the front for?

  • No, 2GB memory max

  • Does anyone know if the N6290 can utilise the new 4GB Micro SDHC memory cards?

  • I got this phone a few days ago, after using a qtek 9100 for 6 months. First of all, Nokia is Nokia, and there is nothing on the market that can be compared with those phones. Secondly, this phone has so many features, but is still very easy to use. The camera is great, even though I am not much of a photographer, it also makes nice pics in the dark. The sound is amazing, the speakers are the best I hear on a mobile phone (even better than the ones on the SE music phones). The display is also grat with the 16M colours, videos played on it look really cool. There are some great features like the TravelMate etc. I do not know what it costs elswhere, but I payed 240 Euros for it and think that it is worth twice of the money.

  • god damn it !! why this phone isn't available in africa ??? i live in egypt and i need it because it's cheap and good ... :(((((

  • expensive :((((((((((((((((((((((((((999

  • the memory ! is it expandable up to 1 Gb or up to 2 Gb ???

  • Can any one tell me if this mobile have a central processor like nokia 5700 or nokia 6121 classic? If yes then of how Mhz??

  • Has anyone tested a 4GB memory card in a 6290? Thx

  • how many time does it have for recording a voice and a video

  • i have recently bought this phone online and recieved it today, and i began to charge it. i was wondering how long it takes b4 it begins to charge, because its been 30 minutes and nothing is happening. is this normal, the manual says it takes a few minutes to begin (or to display it is charging)

  • when i saw this phone the 1st time, i really liked it and have been waiting for it to be released in the Philippines. it is so disappointing that it never showed up. i hope that Nokia also gives us the opportunity to have this phone, at least for people like me who wanted it. if not, i hope that Nokia also makes something like this for Asia to compensate (Nokia is big here so I hope they consider that). [sigh]

  • The phoe is greaT. Super, I like the way it sounds, it works...even my friend that has N73 wants to buy one of this too :-) the only think I don't like is the low soundof it's original headset. as for speakers they reallly are GREAT! Recomand

  • I am happy i didn't buy this phone, now that Nokia announced the 6267. I prefer S40 over S60 too

  • Very good and fast phone. Stereo loudspeakers are doing excellent work - tones are loud and crisp. D-pad as a device controller is much better than joystick - especially in comparission to 6230(i). External screen could be a little better - but sms messages are readable as well. For me advantage of this phone is built-in USB port, no more pop-crap anymore.

  • Yes, Sam-Sam. Do as I did - buy direct from Nokia website.

  • please, make a review of this phone

  • I have the 6290 three weeks now, paid $380 US for it with a 2GB card. its a great phone. easy to use and with GSM and UMTS the possibilities are endless. i have one problem though, to me battery life could be a little longer... but great phone other wise. P.S. the speakers on the phone are very loud!!

  • "its a bad poor phone because high price average features and bad design" errr... it's a symbian phone, dual camera, 16m color internal screen, 256k external screen. Nee i say more about price (+- euro 300,-)?? not expensive, far lesser phones are out there for this amount of money. Design isn't the best, i agree, but personally ive passed the point of buying crappy but very goodlooking phones to show them off to others (read: Samsung)... I buy phones that fit me and my requirements, and for that, this is perfect.

  • its a bad poor phone because high price average features and bad design

  • Is this handset available in the UK? Also, to me, this seems almost identical to the Nokia N76, would anyone agree?

  • Very COOOLLLL phone! Just buy it! 10x to all for the opinions. All is just how it looks, and all superlatives are truth. No exaggerations. Superb phone. Very fast interface. fast opening. Perfect colors. Sound is very loud (even I still dont know where to menage the volume from :)) ) So many features inside. It's realy... smart. Only small disappointment is it can't load the old SMSs from my SIM, but hope to find a way. Good Luck, Buena Suerte, to all who want to buy it.

  • how good is its camera? video quality? zoom? I consider buying this one but sony ericsson w810 is much cheaper compared to this one... hard to decide... so I will go for the one which has better camera quality, can anybody help me on this... thanks...

  • yes , sure it can view documents, it has pdf reader( acrobat) and i have installed isilo reader too,,,as a smart phone it should be able to use all documents� readers if u find the symbian v3.2 versions,,,

  • last week i buy my first smartphone-nokia 6290,and after second day a have a problem,the multimedia key isn't work corectly,sometimes it blocks.Do u have any opinion of this problem.thanks

  • gringoboss i have tested the 6233 and the 6290 and the 6233 is louder but the 6290 is much clearer in sound it is smooth when you here it unlike the 6233 it is all out of rythm and sounds lak someones on screaming

  • This phone rocks. It delivers way more than any other phone in its price range thanks to Symbian S60 FP1. Only letdown for me was camera quality, which is decent but can't compare to my previous K750i.

  • does anybody know how is the sound compared to nokia 6233

  • can you view office documents on this phone ??

  • is this dual camera? i'll buy this soon! is this nice?

  • its poor fone

  • I had this phone for almost a week. The first impression of this phone is that it doesn't look business phone. But the cheap price that attracted me. All I have to say is that this phone rocks!

  • sorry guys I had two nokias in hand - 6290 and 7390 and the 7390 is far better - even without symbian - there is a better camera (3mp vs 2mp without autofocus wtf?), much better videos (640/480, 25 frames/sec woohoo! vs 320/240) and is a bit smaller. Whats more i hate the woeful and cheap looking plastic finnishing on the 6290 edges.. yaack. I would really like to like that phone and I would surely go for it if there only wasnt 7390 on the market which for me is far superior - only my few words cheers

  • Nokia 6290 is at least available in Norway! Bought it last week! It's a great phone, and quite cheap too, at least compared with other smartphones

  • The 6290 is the European equivalent of the American, N75.

  • better than n76, the only difference is the style, where can i buy this phone?, please can anyone tell me... thanks!...

  • it is available in Slowenia now. i'm going to buy it.

  • strange you cannot buy the cell in Europe because I definitely think that Sweden is in Europe :P... I was on at cell phone store a couple of days ago and this cell phone was there.

  • I NEED YOUR HELP. I'm planning to get this mobile as soon as it hits the market, the problem is, I'm not sure if it will be available in the Philippines. Is it really for American audiences only?

  • 6290 got 3.5mm jack not pop port

  • It looks very nice, good features. But it isn't availible in Europe :(

  • I've had this phone for 3 weeks now, ordered it from germany and yes, it does support dutch. Answer to your question, 2 gig is no problem :-) Do realise that the phone is rather big, if this is an issue then take its measurements from this site and make a drawing of the phone on a piece of paper to see what it looks like once u have it. Furthermore it is a good phone, battery life is not much different from any new phone, symbian is awesome. My rating: 8.5 (size is main drawback)

  • hi to everyone i am from greece and i have nokia 6290 near a month!i love this phone as before i had k750i and it had many problems!i am happy because i havent dealt with problems and it has many features!i found and i installed divx player and it work perfect!the movies have perfect resolution!my only complain is that i cannot make folders to put my mp3 files in order!has anyone know how can i do it?i made folders in menou but i cannot grab files there!has anyone tried to put 2G memory?i have 1G and it works great!i heart that 2G make the phone to work inappropriate one G is not enough for me because i have many mp3s

  • I bought mine in Germany and it is a multilingual version. I use it in English but I'm sure Dutch is an option.

  • After 2 weeks, I have my first problem. When I turn on the phone, it refuses to start-up and prompts me to return it to a dealer. Only way round this (after lots of experimentation) seems to be to flip open, turn on and then shut again while it boots. Daft but it will do while I negotiate with Nokia for a replacement.

  • I usually charge it every 2 to 3 day depending on what I do with it. I think it's quite good.

  • @MrPhil i got the same problem in my old phone 6680..and i gave it nokia service 3 times after that i took my money back from nokia.. u have to take ur phone to service i think.. how is ur 6290 s batery life mr??

  • I have mine for a month now and very happy with it. Only problem, when I switch it off and let it rest for the night, it keeps using some electricity. When I switch it back on in the morning, the battery level is always 1 or 2 bars lower. Do you guys have the same problem?

  • the cell phone is very manageable has multiple options and its connectivity is exelente. The outstanding thing is the resolution of the display, is brilliant and very contemporary

  • to kenzo.sorry man i dont kgnow yet this phone,but if somady buy here and show me I"ll tell you.madpanas

  • This nokia is the bomb. At the moment i have the sony w810. I love it. However, I am a big nokia fan, and this phone is the best. Good work nokia. Good work.

  • Here is a test in Norwegian. A strong fiver.

  • Received mine from Nokia yesterday. First impressions are of a phone which is pleasing to use and has a good colour screen but which is quite heavy. After 24 hours, my only real criticism so far is the size of the fonts when you are using texting. Unless the lenses in your glasses have magnification of 10x, you are truly in trouble. Having said that, I understand that all Nokia phones are the same in this respect these days (I haven't changed my phone for years). Hopefully, someday they will update their software to a point where you can adjust this yourself as the "settings" adjustment for largest text is a joke.

  • this phone has got the best features but its in the worst design and shape(form) wish it was in 6233s body and form with the specifications its got and with Autofocus!

  • Nice fone to be a nokia luks simliar 2da 6131 but a nicer color wil it b launchin n da uk or wot

  • To madpanas: Do u have any idea about the speed of this phone? faster than N-series phones.. like N70/N73? Pls adv...

  • I have aquired the phone as an upgrade from my provider then l have discovered that when you type a letter to find a corresponding entry in the contacts the letters which appears in the small window IS NOT A CAPITAL ONE but a small letter!!! I have 350 entries which l transferred from my previous phone with Greek and Latin characters then that means that in order to find an entry l have to type the greek B (small though) which is different from the latin B.There would ne no problem if the letter appeared in Capital as the capital Greek and Capital latin are the same but when it comes to small letters are different and then the problems begins as my contacts are now scattered and cannot be retrieved at once as a software genious decided that only the small letter will appear.(and create a contact chaos) I understand they have done the same in E65 and eventually the small letter is so small that looks that the phone is addressed to young clients up to 20 with a strong vision. I sold the phone the next day as l could not use it.

  • No cracked programs for Symbian 9.1 or 9.2 ? Here in Bangkok you can buy a CD full of them for 3 $...

  • to kenzo.musik players of all nokia models are bad/only new e90 is good/sollution of this problem is to instal like me some version of "lgg gubox" like me or "ultra mp3" or "pwer mp3".but hellow boys this smartphones do something and instal some programs,but dont forget that for this new symbyan no have cracked programs yet-it takes time -maybe 6month before my dear friends from russia to crack them.madpanas

  • what resolution video and fps?im not talk goog english

  • How good is photo and video ?

  • Watch more details video....

  • Have had the 6290 now for 3 weeks and can say that there are two main advantages over my previous phone (N80) #1 The battery lasts about a day longer and #2 The phone is MUCH quicker then the N80. Muhos1

  • is this available in the philppines???? its nicer than the other fliptop!!!

  • Does anyone know how to turn off the shutter sound for the camera on this phone? I read about disabling warning tones, but that doesn't work. I still get the shutter sound. Also is there a way to set the flash not to always default to automatic mode (I'd rather have it default to off)?

  • This Phone Only Available In Europe & Americas ONLY...............

  • Is this phone faster than N70 or N73???? Hows the Music Player...Normal or?? Anybody knows here..????

  • Don't understand why N76 and 6290 are not available in many countries

  • This is the next step up from the 6126, 6131, and 6133. Not bad at all.

  • Im from holland, and its not coming out here. However i can get a simlockfree one in germany, with german simbian. Is it easy to put a dutch symbian on it??

  • sorry for that , was just kiddin,,,

  • Wow, 6290 did all that for you. I guess it's not a question of whether or not I should get it anymore but how many of it I should get... ;) On a more serious note, obviously I meant the style and the coolness factor.

  • Q: How can I make a picture that will be as big as the screen.. I mean all the screen.. I tried all the resolutions but it won't take up all the screen .. can anyone help me ? thx ;)

  • Guys, do you think is at all a sexy mobile. We know the ergonomics are great. We know the fuctions are great. We know the UI is fast. We know the camera is mediocre. We know the speakers are better than avarage. But what about the sex appeal? For example, do you think mobile could compete with the Samsung Ultra Editions? I'm on the verge of buying this mobile but the sex appeal (and maybe the camera) is holding me back a bit.

  • Just seen this phone at phoneboxdirect on a 12 month vodafone contract at �35 per month with 500 mins and 250 txts per month. However what makes this special (or so I hope!!) is that it says that you get �385 cashback (�77 paid after 4,6,8,10,12 months)!!!!!!!! This means after 12 months you'll have only paid �35 line rental! This has got to be a con surely, or do they NOT let u keep the phone if you decide not to renew the contract??? If they let you keep it like most contracts then it's a bloody bargain!! Anyone have any info about this?

  • just got mind from popularelect.com phone is nice, this is the phone i been waiting for

  • I have tested this phone the speakers are better than Nokia N73 but lags behind Nokia 6233 (for me 6233 have still better speakers) but still better than any clamshell phone audio is good screen is clear camera not good as SE over all good phone at its cost in a unique package

  • Can you take self portrait with phone closed using external screen ?

  • Guyz, I said that the EXTERNAL speakers are better than the 6233! They are not louder, but they produce a little more bass which makes them more "hi-fi". I ran the jbenchmark ACE test twice. The first time it returned a processor speed of 429Mhz and the second time it was 445Mhz! This is outstanding! The camera is a plain Nokia 2MP one, but the result is slightly more grainy as compared to the 6233/6288 or the N70/71. It is most probably a software matter that they could/should improve in the next firmware update. Battery life is 2 days with quite a bit of use. The phone is all plastic and the front is painted exactly like the keypad of the 6233. The back is painted with the rubbery paint of the rear of the 6233/6131. The hinge of the flip is SUPER solid. No tolerance whatsoever. The screen is a beautiful 240X320 pixel one, but it is not ultra-bright. Very decent though. Really, the only shortcomings is the conservative looks and the grainy-mainly-at-night camera. I cannot resist pointng out the swiftness of the interface once again! The Greek-speaking readers can read lots of comments (including mine) regarding this device at myphone.gr

  • Tested this mobile today and loved the feel and ergonomics of it. WAY BETTER than those of 7390. I even like the looks better (black). If only Nokia had made this mobile 3-5mm thinner and equipped it with a better camera, 6290 would be a no-brainer. Right now, I'm trying to decide between it and Samsung U600 (pros: great camera, thin, cool looks, cons: ergonomis (keypad), thin (too thin?)).

  • battery tests are done at perfect operating temperature and conditions. You can ussually easily cut 25% off simply because conditions aren never as ideal as during the testing. Not to mention everyday use

  • Adam Yes its stranges. But i have read that Nokia E50 shoud last for up to 8h talk time.( see in the spec for E50 ) When i own that phone it didnt last for 8h. I will compare the 6290 and E50 as the same in talk time. Thats my opinion.

  • Steinar , how weird??!!! they claim that n95 with it�s 2,6�� display and other extra features lasts 6 hours -talk time, and 6290 with it�s smaller screen can last for 3.5 hours only, though they both have the same battery(950 ma)??!!! my 6630 has a 900ma batery and it dosn�t last that much, never completes one day with my usuall use (gps, games ,music, videos and calls),,,

  • Can you take self portrait with phone closed using external screen ? Thanks

  • Well , the battery life. Remember this phone have the same battery as the new Nokia N95. So Nokia means its a great battery. But for me , i have the phone in 2 days before i have to charges. I ring a lot in my work.I had have E50 and 7390. I will say they are about the same as 6290 , when it come to battery life.

  • @Steinar hii..can u say us that how s this phones battery life max ???this i s important for me,coz my 6233 goes to 5-6 days in normal using.

  • 6290 is bigger (thicker) than 7390. So 7390 has got smaller size going for it as well as the fact that it looks cooler (check out the black/chrome combo). But... I think (not having owned either one of these mobiles) I like the structure of 6290 better. However, I'm not getting either one of these mobiles because they are just so darn thick and their cameras are really mediocre. I think I'm gonna get Samsung U600 instead (as 3G isn't a must for me).

  • Hi. 7390 is a nice phone.( had it for 4 mnd ) But after using 6290 for 3 weeks , i like this one better. I got it beacause it have full E mail client ,and it runs Serie 60 . And Importet , u can changes font size . 3 diffrent choises . On other serie 60 u cant do that . And the speakers have a great sound . Much better than 7390 and 6233.

  • im very interest for this mobile, why the battery life only 970mAh instead the user add lotof memory inside. this mobile haven seen in my indonesia. when it recv in my country, not patient 2 c n buy. could u compare with N73 which better. thanx u 4 yr advance wa2

  • I heard the sound of Nokia 6233 and N73, it's quite impressive compared to other Nokia release, could you give me the feed back how is 6290 sounds like......

  • HAKI Epidi psaxno na paro kinito to opoio na me kaliptei oson afora ta mp3 kai to litourgiko tou to protineis?

  • My only question, for those who have this phone...Would You recomand it? Thanks!

  • haki, External speakers can't be better than 6233 !:) May be you mean headphones?

  • Has anyone in the UK actually SEEN one of these phones yet?

  • what about sound and camira quality?is that better than 6233?

  • haki, can u gve us a little review about your experience with 6290? tanks in advance

  • @haki how is the phones battery life ?

  • Bought it in Greece yesterday for 330 euros. Sound is better than 6233...amazing! The camera is very mediocre and slightly worse than other Nokia 2mp cameras. Extremely fast menu navigation due to a 369Mhz processor as compared to N73's 220Mhz one. Not very vivid internal screen but perfectly acceptable.

  • they describe the speakers loudness as between 6233 and n73, but not so sure about clarity, u can see a review here :

  • So, what about music player? good sound???

  • 6290 not for asia and middle east.. they released it for Europe/America only.. if u want u have to go and buy it from any of those place....

  • Don't cry Argentina :) Even the Russians have bigger prices! Here, in Poland, you can buy this phone for 350 $. New one, with all extras. And it will be my next phone after good old E50. Cheers

  • The nokia 6290 is my dream phone! the only thing that would make it perfect is a little bigger battery and wifi! It seems that this phone will be more than 500 dollars when it comes to argentina. Tipically every phone in argentina costs 2x what it costs in usa or europe. And with our change (1 dollar = 3 pesos) it will be imposible to buy. Why the hell i'm so poor? snif seems i will have to keep my nokia 1100.

  • boss, how is the speed of this mobile? how much time do u need to open a folder or an application? some users noticed a high pitched sound when u put the side speakers near your ear while the phone is flip opened, is it the same on your device?

  • the phone Features is verry good but the desing is ....a little bit ugly

  • excellent features. its with OS, so i m sure its functionality must be very flexible. even has stereo speakers. hope it stores unlimited sms msgs like other OS phones. anyone aware about that?

  • Does this model support wma format? I like it a lot, but I need a functional music player, so this is very important.

  • Here in Asia no date of release, no picture, nothing ! What the ???? ! But lots of advertisemnent for the N76. Too bad as I prefer the 6290 over the N76. I guess I will buy the Samsung U600 instead.

  • nokia have stepped forward in features but taken a BIG step back in design with this one ... shame really it could of been good

  • how is the camera's quality??? is it good? how are the speakers? are they as clear as Sony Ericsson's speakers? how is the keypad? is it comfortable?

  • Ok nokia made full featured phones. but they forgot consult it to phone-designer.

  • how many flip phones du you see that are pda s ? this is good to introduce the general flip phone costumer symbian os capability

  • I dont know about speaking when making a call, it's been confiscated now too by the person who bought it for my birthday so i can't check! The speaker I checked for the high pitch sound was the one on the side, not the actual speaker u put to your ear when on a call. To me the sound is really no different to any other electrical item, I don't know whoever said it has REALLY sensitive ears or something, here was me thinking my ears were sensitive! I just put my ear to my printer, my tv on mute and my laptop and they all make the exact same sound that the phone made. Put your ear to something electrical and you'll probably know what i mean.

  • yes finaly Available i like this phone has 2 big speaker y thing is verry loud

  • just found it on sale at Fone Planet for �250 sim free i'm gonna wait till later in the year when it should be available for around �150

  • Can you take a self portrait with the phone closed, using the external screen ?

  • ipoolt: is that noise annoying when u talk with the phone without a headset(i.e when its just next to your ears)?

  • 400$ is normal price for this phone i think...i am waiting this fone immediately....

  • i sw this phone today in cuprus it is about $400

  • Ok I couldn't resist, just turned the phone on for a few mins to have a look at it. About the screeching sound, if I put my phone up to my ear I can hear it BUT to me it's just like the sound any other electrical device makes, I can hear it louder on my laptop now as I type this and I put my phone I have at the minute (SE W550) to my ear and I can hear it too. ALSO, the noise only happens when the phone flip is open, when I close the flip and put the speaker to my ear I don't hear it (similar to my SE W550, I can only hear the noise when the keypad is active etc). The screens (internal and external) are very impressive. Anyway as I say these are only first impressions, I literally only had the phone on without a sim card in it for a few minutes.

  • Just got this delivered today. Haven't turned it on as someone bought me it as a bday present and my bday isn't until 3 weeks so i'll have to wait until then to use. First impression was that it was a lot bulkier than I thought it would be so I'm a bit disappointed in that. I'll post back again when i've actually used the phone on my birthday.

  • somebody mentioned a high pitch sound he noticed while the 6290 is turned on? did anybody have this same problem with 6290 or it�s that that other person had a defective unit?

  • Whats the difference between 16million colors and 256k colors?!?!? thx in advance!!

  • Hi, can anyone say how the internal and external screen look in daylight? Does the 6290 switch off by itself? Does 6290 have a clear sound? Thanks for any help mm

  • What about quality of photo and video ?

  • This phone is an update to the 6126,31,33,36. Check and compare specs.

  • kk, have u used n73 before? if yes: can u compare this device to it in term of: speed, audio, screen, keyboard anjoystick ...

  • unfortunality poor battery life again :(it maybe goes to 3 days in coming days ..

  • about 320 euro battery life - 2 days maximum

  • how much did u give for this phone and did u test its charge and battery life for normal using ?ty

  • got this phone last week... liked it a lot!!! works very very fast and is stable. music quality is very good default menu is a little strange, some functions are accessible from several places, some are hard to find. not easy to open with one hand. I often press ptt button occasionaly and don't know how to switch it off (possible there is no way to do it) nice organizer function, synchronization, all works smooth and easy to configure. 3G internet connection works really faster than edge, browser is great, configuration for laptop internet connection via bluetooth is very easy. 3g video calls - well, i did not find how to use it, but i've tried it once - saw my collegue looking at me from the screen ;) the only real disadvatage for me is it doesn't have WLAN. e65 has it, but i don't like sliders

  • is there anyone who has bougt this phone if yes pls email me at [email protected]

  • is there an application for mobile phones(nokia) wherein you can watch a tv?

  • 6290 for europe , n75 for america

  • Nokia should better hurry to get their new phones out, because Samsung new sliders will be out very soon, and they are great

  • May be wrong, but i am afraid this phone will be launched only in Europe. Can't see any mention of it on the other Nokia web sites. Same for the web support. Too bad

  • Can anyone who owns this phone give some feedback? Still waiting for it to hit the stores. Does it heat up fast like the e65 and 6300? How about screen change, lag? etc. etc.

  • hello, anybody who has already bought this phone could give us his impressions about it? (e.g. speed, stability, audio, cam,,,) thanks

  • available in baltic states too,costs ~330E

  • The 6290 is available at least in Germany. Ordered one this weekend and should be getting it soon :)

  • "Looks like it will come out late. At the moment Nokia staff is trying hard not to mess up the launch of the much hyped N95, and getting ready to answer to its numerous bugs. 6290 will probably be launched after N95 sometime in april." Thats BS. N95 is from a whole other nokia devision than 6290. sure the entire Nokia N division is busy taking care of the N95 launch, has absolutely nothing to do with 6290 though.

  • its really irritating la...when's this phone coming?...its almost the end of march d

  • yo, wat a gwarn...this phone just caught my eyes and looks very interesting. I want to know if this phone camera is as grainy as how few of my friends say cause for what i read about this phone the canera should be good. Is the speaker clarity good? Finally, on your behalf what would you say about the phone, which would be a good ad for a buyer?

  • For the person who bought it in Italy: how much was it?

  • hey,Teddy....where are u from?..juz trying to figure out why there's still no sign of it in stores or on9?...btw i'm from malaysia.

  • Looks like it will come out late. At the moment Nokia staff is trying hard not to mess up the launch of the much hyped N95, and getting ready to answer to its numerous bugs. 6290 will probably be launched after N95 sometime in april. Nokia salesman keeps telling me "coming soon" . Fed up to wait I decided to buy a 7390, but don't like the "toy" feeling of the phone. If the new Samsung phones come early, I might want one instead of 6290...

  • Looks like it will come out late. At the moment Nokia staff is trying hard not to mess up the lauch of the much hyped N95, and to get ready to answer to its numerous bugs. 6290 will probably be lauched after N95 sometime in april.

If the new Samsung phones come early, I might want to buy one instead of 6290...

  • Thank you for answers. On site you can find changes of FP1. You can see "File cache. Main problems of current 3rd edition devices are related to bad organization, integration of file cache, which causes programs being shut down against user�s will, it also slows down phone�s performance. Feature Pack 1 optimizes this function." Please try to load several Java-applications simultaneously and say me how many can be run. Before (without FP1) only 2-3 Java applications can be loaded simultaneously. Thanks beforehand.

  • Hi. 1)yes user interface is faster then N73 etc.. 2)Don't know! 3)At now,no incompatibility found with s60 3rd edition programs! 4)?? 5)no scratches!

  • Please answer the following questions: 1. Is the user interface faster than in other similar phones e.g. Nokia N73, E61? 2. How many Java programs can be opened simultaneously? 3. Are there some incompatibility with software S60 3rd ed? 4. Are there some incompatibility with software which concern with disappearing the �Pencil� button? 5. Are there scratches on the screen from buttons as on Nokia N71?

  • Just bought today here in Italy..this phone is very good..superb audio..!

  • Of course it has a camera!!

  • Does this fone have a camera ??

  • AS it is series 60 it can support Any number of emssages depending upon the memory card

  • if this phone comes to trinidad it will be a big seller i for one will buy cause its nice

  • im waiting to get my hands on this mobile.... does anyone kknow how much txt msgs does it hold? how much is the inbox memory? the only problem im facing with sony erricson w600 is that my inbox gets full after 200 msgs and then i have to delete soem to send or recieve... which sucks!

  • Will dis be available in asia??, cause they removed it from the nokia asia's website?? but i have seen it in europe's nokia website, how sad!

  • i like it

  • there's reviews saying that its sound quality lose to 6233 by a bit...but better than n73's sound quality.....so its pretty good

  • what about the sound quality of integrated external speakers of this phone. Is it like the nokia 6233?

  • Anyone know whether 6290 has light indicator for missed calls/sms/calendar reminders like N6131 and N6300? thank you.

  • This phone will be released in a few days now. The PC suite program already includes the phone, and the support web page for the phone is online. Go to to find a flash demo and the user guide ! Wait is nearly over....

  • Yay it here!! it was expensive but worth it :p Whaahahahaha

  • If that is true (the post below) then I still love cheese...but not all kinds! YES!!!

  • Phone is being shipped from next week. Starting in Germany. Go get it now.

  • OS on a flip finally it s gonna teach those crappy flipphones users what a pda with a os is , SYMBIAN

  • waited for this phone for some time but than got impatient and bought n71...which has the same features only different design..im glad i have done that cuz launch of this phone is really gettin late...i suggest u ppl do the same cuz n71 rocks

  • has anyone out there seen any videos on this phone? Just curious to see it in action. Thanks in advance!

  • okay..lets say this phone right.........it comes to the end of march...still no sign of it....what does this mean?.....it'll come out later or it means its not coming?

  • After thoroughly reading everything about this phone (which I usually do before purchasing most of my stuff online) and also watching the features in the demo (http://europe.nokia.com/A4160002), I have made up my mind to be among the first to own this phone � no matter what it will cost. Looks fantabulous!!!. My advice to those who are almost screaming at Nokia � Good things come to those who are patient. If you are impatient, then go for the cheap and readily available stuff. Having said that, could the NOKIA people also come out and tell us when they plan to splash this �babe� onto the market. Are they reading these reviews??? Geez�..some people can mean to miss $$$!!

  • its really irritating to see it coming out so late..but lucky my b'day not till june...if this end of the month it doesn't come out..i'll slap Nokia in the A*s

  • This phone is very well balanced, it has a nice back lid, that is very comfortable to hold. The back cover seems quite reliable even for heavy use. Phone looks good, and has pretty much all needed communication features. The only little problem - headphones and charger flaps. They may fall off during heavy use - and need to be glued back. Cover buttons are quite helpful. Main number buttons give outstanding feeling and easy to use. Memory card/USB slot covers are also solid and reliable. Overall - very modern and reliable phone.

  • this phone better launch in South Africa its toooo dam expensive to buy phones that you want online.....

  • I hope they launch this phone in South Africa, K.Z.N. as it would benefit alot of people it is a really cool phone & the features are better than the N93. So to the South African Networks you know who you are please launch this phone. thank you.

  • They probably found them in their other pants...happens to me all the time:)

  • i think it is a very good mobaile but let me ask u somthing it has 1m colors but the mobail before had just 256.000 where did they find the ather 15.747.000.000 ? ? ?

  • it offers many things but wi-fi is not on of them sadly:(

  • The shops in Norway expects that the phone will be in sales from 4/1/07...

  • Does anyone know whether this phone supports WiFi, so told mi thet it has, some people say that it hasn't can anyone tell me

  • This is really a lovely phone, good specifications, good looks all in very pleasing compact piece. Hurry up, let it out!

  • I believe your confusing this phone with Nokia's N75 which is a North American exclusive (at least for a while). This phone looks similar but is the European counterpart. This phone is not made for the US but that won't stop me from owning it!

  • how sure are you that it will release only in america????

  • This phone is exclusive for US market only,so people in other countries, dont wait, it wont be release. The rest of the world will recieve it extreme thin twin, the N76. Eventhough nokia didnt say that this is a smartphone, it use S60 platform.

  • Nokia said available 1st trim 2007, that's january to march. So could be, and probably will be at best, end of march. Nokia is famous for being late releasing their phones...

  • I've been looking at this phone for a long time, but it seems that Nokia is behind on several models. I can't wait for it to come out! I have a feeling it'll be released at the end of this month...

  • really i loved it's shape as for the specification it is good no; more than good so i will buy it

  • If mtn / vodacom pick this phone it would snow. please bring this phone to kwa-zulu Natal.

  • vodacom won't bring this phone out bcoz their full of crap.

  • whats happening....its already march and no sign of it in malaysia......lol......

  • this phone is very good...

  • this fone is very good and i have one iam bring it from lebanon in khodor phono shop

  • amf..wen dis phone will launch, its march already !!!!

  • Yes please bring this phone for release to kzn.

  • please let vodacom / mtn pick up this phone. please bring it out on the networks. in kwa-zulu natal - south africa.

  • This phone would be the essensial phone for people who want everything in a phone the features are great, the only problem would be is if either of the specific networks per say Vodacom / MTN do not pick it up then your out of luck because lately vodacom only choses phones that the rich people can afford they honetly do not care about the customers needs and they really don't care about the middle person who desires to have a phone that is better than the rest. Mtn does sometimes pick up the good phones but occassionally they do block their phones. But the main Question you have to ask yourself WHY should you pay more 4 one phone that is exactly the same phone that the other network is selling it for. example the 6101 Nokia sells by mtn for R999.00 and then Vodacom sells it for R1599.00. Thats what i call unfair....

  • Pls..Compaer To 6300. I Thing this phone is vare vare Good. DETLS..........Desing..8.2..Features..8.3....Per­formance..8.3.. .............Tk.......... $$$$$$$$$$$**ALTAF**$$$$$$$.

  • hey does this phone have Autofocus camera?...ju z wanna know=)

  • To SuperSweet:I think u need to choose whether u want features..or looks and a better camera.....but i really think this would be better coz juz by having better camera doesn't beat s60 platform it has......and the 7390 also have 3g..its really a waste becoz its s40........well its juz my opinion...but for me...i would choose this phone...oh ya..i still want to know whether this is coming to Malaysia?=)...

  • i really hope that this phone comes out i have been cheaking and cheaking to see if it is avabile.

  • And the look of 6290 is far better than 7390...

  • I also hesitate between 7390 and this one: - 7390 is smaller, has better camera and video. - but 6290 has better screen, is Symbian so can add programs, has a front camera for self picture, and has two external speakers for loud ringtones and mp3 As i never had a Symbian phone, i will try this one. The 2 external loudspeakers are also very important for me And the light blue color looks great

  • Thailand has it?....so does Malaysia have it...really want to know......275euro...what about with 1gb memory card?....

  • This phone has dissapeared off the Nokia Website! What does this mean? :(

  • It is very expensive in the Philippines while in the other country it's so cheap. Please make it not so Expensive here in the Philippines. I want to buy it but it's almost 12 thousand above. I don't think so that price is applicable it must be lower or cheap so a lot of people can buy it easily !

  • Why is it that it does not rotate unlike nokia 6260. It looks like 6260 is more higher than it.

  • In Bangkok saw a plastic dummy phone of the 6290 yesterday. Looks big at first, but when in hand it feels the right size. Very nice. The salesman told me they will have it next month (that's march), for 12500 Bahts = 270 euros. Quite cheap. The N95 should comme any time soon also.

  • Does this phone have phonebook

  • I've searched the nokia egypt website...i don't see any sign of this phone....what does this mean?....

  • hey people i got this phone in egypt for 200 quid it is wikid i got it in black cool eh!!1

  • Here in Thailand it is on the ''coming soon'' list from phone distributor web site. Hope it's true.

  • nice design, terrible color combination

  • a shop in greece it says that this phone it will come in the end of feb.

  • oh ya juz found out that 6290 is using FP1...no changing...the test was a special prototype of 6290 to test out the FP2....but still dunno why it was pulled off the asia website....i wonder if it comes to malaysia by June?..anyone who knows..please tell=)

  • I really wanted this phone.. but its taking forever to come out... so I got the 6131 instead. But this is still defiantely on my wish list. You're right, it will be pretty still competition to the N series and its bound to be cheaper.. at least, lets hope so :)

  • oh my......september?....so if changing it to fp2....does it add on the cost of this phone?

  • Actually you can still find the phone, but only on the european websites of Nokia. Maybe are they planning to lauch it first in Europe...

  • They removed this phone becouse maybe they are planning to release it a little later.(most probabily september). And it will be s60 3d Edition feature pack 2(not 1).This will be a big add to this phone(fp2 will be really nice with some great new features).Nokia used a 6290 at 3GSM 2007 to demostrate S60 3d Edition Feature Pack 2.

  • Don't know whats happening with this phone. There a mobile phone shop here in Australia that has put it on their coming soon list yesterday (15th Feb) .. It's a sweet phone I want it now :(

  • so this pull-off is temporary or permanent...any news from it?...i really hope it would come=)

  • Strange that this phone has been removed from most Nokia websites. Maybe they prefer to lauch it later because it will be cheap and would make difficult the sale of the other upcoming phones like N76. Hope not.

  • Hmm.. can't say why Nokia pulled it off the website.. but seems as though it will be released end of Feb here in Sweden anyway.

  • they better come out with this phone or I will be sad ... theres speculation it wont come out ... lets all send nokia messages of support for this phone ...

  • 6290 over N75 any day.

  • there it is:

  • i am wondering why Nokia drops 6290 from its website as of 05feb07. does that mean they decided not to produce or proceed with their plan anymore?

  • this is the phone iam waiting for a long time i hope it comes out sooooooone

  • Its my dream fone...

  • Nokia 6290 it poses a threat to Nseries-branded models, specifically those bearing N6x and N7x indexes on them. I shall remind you, that Nseries devices are presented as flagship solutions, especially when it comes to multimedia, with each phone in the range dealing with its own field � for example Nokia N75 is a fold phone for music addicts, whereas Nokia 6290 is practically the same device with nearly wholly overlapping target audience.

  • I am waiting for this phone and hope that the price will be reasonable. The Features on the phone seems great.

  • This is really a great phone.The one i was waiting for.But it is still in coming soon.It has all the functions that i want in one phone.Thanks Nokia.It should come in a reasonable price.

  • actually im reaally interested with this fone,but the battery make me worried...only 950 mah???with 16m screen it wont last long really + this fone has 2 screen,3G,stereo speakers whew,that are battery consuming features ...please nokia,give this fone better battery n im gonna choose this one for sure

  • actually im really interested with this fone,but the battery make me worried...its only 950 mah?with 16m colour it wont last long really

  • damn dis phone ive been w8ting 4 dis and it still its says d COMINGSOON - bulshet..i hope in february..dis will come it in d philipines...damn!!

  • This phone is really good. It's also very stylish (black)

  • I love Nokia phones. They are very user friendly. Yes, 6290 looks very nice & has great features. I will buy it the moment it is available in philippines market.

  • @nokia seriously man, which planet u from? This phone has some of the best features put 2gether. I hav the prototype and even that jus works amazin. I work 4 nokia here and judging by the requirements u r talkin about it will cost more than 2300$, which of course only very handful will be willing to take the risk. So jus keep dreamin...

  • To the one who calls himself NOKIA. Your idea about perfect phone is a bit suspicious since many of the parameters you mentioned have already been surpassed. Screen resolution of 352*416(as seen in the N80)beats your 240*320 pixels. You talk of 1GB internal memory, yet the N91 has already 8GB. So your perfect mobile is already here. Nokia have the technology. The reason why Nokia have not bundled all your requirements together is thecost. Very few would be prepared to pay the price.

  • yup.. keep on dreaming nokia n someday your wish will come true..

  • from the first look it sounds great, but can any one who have this phone tell us about the performance and if there are any manufacturer failing and drowbacks ????

  • I like bigger phones, but not big bar phones, haha, im currently with 6233. wicked phone. but will change to 7390 now, im just 14, and i dont like symbian, but if the phone is deserving, ill try symbian, is it advisable to wait for 6290, or go for 7390. im in philippines, so 6290 is not out till april.

  • To Nokia : add - a small size - loud ringtones

  • well, Just learn on HOW TO USE YOUR NOKIA! IT's an Operating system powered device! you can switch between applications without closing them, and YOU CAN get back to main screen without closing apps! JUST READ THE MANUAL!!! Series 60 V3 is the GREAT Symbian OS! JUST READ THE MANUAL!

  • i own a 6270,and now i'm going to skip the 6280 ,and go directly for the nokia 6290.its a great phone with killer features.can any other manufacturer compare? i don't think so.NOKIA is the best of the best.GREAT FEATURES,GREAT PHONE,GREAT NOKIA! #1

  • Whats a perfect phone..?? Quad Band GSM with Quad Band UMTS TFT 240x320 screen with 16m colors Dual HIGH quality Stereo Speakers 1 gig internal memory External memory card with 10 gig limit GPRS, EDGE, 3G and WIFI Bluetooth with 100 ft range & A2DP Camera: (full screen) 2+ mp with OPTICAL zoom & carl zeis lense, photo light with seperate zenon flash Video: MPEG4 record (full screen) and MPEG4 playback (full screen). Ability to pause, rewind and fastforward & slowmotion during FULL SCREEN playback MP3 and all other audio formats Kodiak and PoC PTT FM radio with no headset needed. VHF/UHF tunner with external antenna USB & 3.5mm ports Battery: Min 1200 mAh And last but not least. All this available in candy bar, flip and slider type phones WITH either changeable faceplates or different colors from the factory. That is my idea of a perfect phone.. and it will NEVER happen simply cause its perfect.

  • How are the photos, compared to Nokia n70/n72 ? Are they way poorer are ok compared to the 72/70

  • this phone has great feature but one thing that i don't like about nokia flip-type or clamp-type phone is that when you are inside the sub-menus, you always have to exit first before closing the phone. it does not automatically goes to the main sceen when you close the phone. and another thing, this phone is gonna be expensive! :)

  • What a great phone Nokia have put together. Clamshell, symbian 9.0 series 60, 2MP camera with flash, and a transflash microSD card slot. With the bonus of being able to read sms/mms with the phone closed, this truly is a phone that is packed with features. Definitely a must have!

  • Hm, cheaper version of the N75.

  • Absolutely not. But as a rule of thumb can be guessed that smaller the phone, the poorer the signal. But I can tell you that reception of this baby is good. And also I think this is awesome thing! 4 GSM bands, UMTS, Series 60 3:rd edition with latest feature pack, brilliant display, real stereo effects. Absolutely worth of its price! > by looking at the features, is there a way > to tell if a phone receives good signal or > not?

  • i recon that that the 6290 is a really good phone. i woulb by it any time. 1oo%

  • by looking at the features, is there a way to tell if a phone receives good signal or not?

  • Read review at mobile-review.com

  • to neeraj kumar YEs you can use this buttons for music player

  • nice phone. time to start shopping for bluetooth headset though, stupid 2.5mm jack.

  • hi, i am big fan of nokia phones ,brought nokia 3530 in year02 nokia's first colour set, working till date eaisly,get bored & gave it to cousin,after that i brought nokia6600 & it is still with me, but my eyes are freezed on nokia6290, i have read all details abt it & found that it has all satisfying features.want to know when it is coming in India & what it will costs in Indian rupees? i am very curious to see & buy it in black body,if i found it exactly as i have read.

  • Can the keys on the top cover be used to operate the music player in the phone??... Cuz in phones like N75 and 7390 the music keys on the top cover can be used to operate the camera and the music player while the phone is closed... Just want to kno if the same is possible here... If so then I think its a better choice than the N76 which is thinner but too big when held in the hand... Actually N76 bigger than the RAZR...

  • dear all that phone will be one of the most nokia greats phones and by the way it's an symbian phone with all symbian features let's wait for it and enjoy it :-)

  • It would have been better if Nokia had made it smaller. It is really a clamshell as big as a brick, but i think I will still get it because of the 2 external speakers.

  • It`s very intresing phone how the battareis are that I don`t know but I like this mobilephone some things are new what i havent met before in nokia phones like usb cabel connection and headphones connection Nothing bad to say I could connect phone with digital camera usb cabel

  • Being that this sucker has dual stereo speakers, it should be VERY loud. My nokia 6270 has dual stereo speakers and it the LOUDEST gsm phone that i have ever heard. Quite close to my old nextel phone and we all know nextel's are the kings when it comes to speakerphones. The only problem is this nokia 6270 is so thick and heavy its a turn off. Nokia was very smart to make the N75 and then did a chaaper $$ version of it which is the 6290. Both have dual stereo speakers which should kill any gsm phone out there..

  • i think tis phone is jus great.. but i need to know is this support symbian function and how muck is cost... can any 1 help me ?

  • NO, This is actually a twin brother for 7390. 7390 is non symbian, 6290 is. the successor of the 6233, is still planning to be a flip or not, symbian 60 or not.

  • I think, Nokia is costly because of its new symbian OS.

  • is the speaker's sounds louder then w550? ><

  • what is different between secondary video call CIF camera and video(QCIF)? what the meaning of 'Built-in handsfree' and 'T9'? plez..i really need to know..i'm juz planng to grab it one later..

  • **cecille 09158282641 cant open sim card prompted "simcard busy". advise to insert to other unit.

  • Is 6290 a symbian-based successor of 6233? it seems unlikely. i hope Nokia will soon announce the real successor of 6233.

  • this phone is gr8! Performance wise good with 3g and flip.love 2 buy it!!!!!

  • 6290 is yet not launched ,because it is symbian with bets their will be firmware problems and bad name then its price will fall with qtr updates.Why r we end consumers not contended with what we have,everybody must be having a Cell working,Wait 3 months ad buy better updated phone at cheaper price,this phobia is encashed by Nokia,everytime not far N80 N73 E70 all symbians.Now their prices r half ad updated firmware as latest as 26th Nov 06 on site.Pls hav patience/////

  • Hmmm...I don't know what can I say about the desing of the phone...but it's not so ugly

  • i dont no y but nokia phones mostly cost more than s.e phones. now a days, nokia phones have great features.

  • wow this phone is not bad. now a days all nokia phones r so expensive. the old ones r so crappy.

  • planning to buy this phone. looks a hell lot like n75! aniweys, my current is 6233, if i change to a 7390 will it be beneficial?

  • way too heavey for a flip phone

  • no wi fi? no wonder this phone sucks!!

  • its gr8 by its features, although 6131 claimshell looks kinda better IMO

  • Its is exact copy of 6131,with extended features,flash,2Mp cam etc.We can understand what Nokia cant creat miracle every month,only enhance Mp screen resolutions ad bigger screens ad thinner cells.To open mail or any correspond on cell is cumbersome than on computermore convienence,just a fashion otherwise no hassle/////

  • it's just a nokia...that's it...boring...

  • With two external speakers the sound should be really LOUD! I sold my Samsung clamshell because it was too soft, coming from inside the phone. Great Nokia !

  • hey you guys out there stop whinin about bad design.can you come up with another design?come on every phone looks almost the same. its not the design that counts,its the way the phone performs.and NOKIA has done it again. great features, GREAT PHONE,GREAT NOKIA!

  • Is this phone gonna be international?

  • interesting phone, but, i prefer bar models.

  • Now, how could this phone possibly be better than the N75? It doesn't have a open OS (symbian). It has far less functionality than the N75, or any Symbian handset for that matter

  • If you hate clamshels, you should start likeing them, because this phone is superb ;)

  • Now this is a PHONE. Better than the N75 in my mind

  • it has all i want but i dont like the design.is it pretty?

  • I am certainly looking forward for this beauty!Hope it`ll be released before February...

  • looks crappy to me...the design simply look no different from older phones....symbian is good if only it can be faster and more stable (my N80 hangs at times)...you can do better, nokia...

  • I think the previous post is one of the best of the genre. Gsmarena should make an automatic opinion generator out of it where you just have to insert your favorite brand/phone name...

  • hey people fan's of nokia... a lot of u guy's say that this fone suck's... i have the nokia 6270... and a lot said that this fone suck'z but i think that nokia is the best and i can't wiat for this fone coz to say the truth...i alway'z wanted a flip fone and this one has everything i need plus it might be better then the n75 or someth'in

  • Any review in English?

  • review on Russian:

  • i will only say symbian in a sony ericsson flip style SUCKS BAD FONE

  • N75 is released in europe too ! stop wyning about it.

  • 6290 for europe and n75 for america, AT last nokia give the best to the americans :P

  • Nice features rendered by nokia, good job,,... but the design.. is relatively very boring,.. why could the stick to only one concept unlike before,.. remember 6260 and 7270? but now, are'nt they loosing design ideas? so there were some newly/previously released phones that look like SAMSUNG,SE and MOTO?... Stupidity...

  • I think Nokia have run out of ideas with this one. Looks like they should go back to the drawing board, maybe release a phone like the sirocco but with a few more perks to it!

  • Old style, Ugly , Camera with NO autofocus ,Another version of n75 Nokia made it to gain more money, SMALL light LED , i do like anyother version but that N73 wins

  • EXACATLY THE N75. . the difference is in edge, for 6290 it is class 32, which only one more simone has and that is the almighty n95! the camera position is great in this phone so that we can take our own photos using the outer screen and the main camera, when the phone is in closed position. n75 doesnt have this. moreover n75 doesnt have a secondary camera! Go for it guys it is a legend from nokia. for doubts feel free to email me..

  • S60 devices are getting smaller, but not enough for me. Still a really big phone, better buy the next generation

  • the 16m TFT colour gonna eat its battery that i can bet!!

  • I can't wait for this phone to come out! I really hope it comes out in Australia like next month! This phone seems so nice! I wanted to get the 6131 but I don't like the auto-flip, I already have a phone with this and it becomes a tad annoying. CAN'T WAIT! GREAT FEATURES! LOOKS GOOD! Hopefully cheap as!

  • Video resolution is 352x288 in 3gp at 15fps See Not bad, but not as good as 640x480....

  • why no one comments on this phone

  • Maybe it's design is a bit outdated, but the features are perfect. But video recording resolution isn't mentioned anywhere. It could be the usual 176 x 144, but having in mind the 6280, it could be 640 x 480 pix, which would make it a bestseller.

  • hmm, a cheaper version of the N75. I wonder if it will record in mpeg4..?? Thats what they all say until u get it and realize that it will only record in 3gp, but u must do a firmware upgrade to get it to play back MPEG4. Just like 3 other nokia phones i have. same crap.

  • i just looked on another nokia site and the specs say it has an mpeg4 video player!!! 2mp camera, video calling, 16m colour screen, 262k outer screen (most fones have 262k as main screen and 65k outer!), mp3 player, MPEG4 player (YES!!), bluetooth, stereo speakers, 3d games...... jesus this is the greatest phone ever! Hopefully it'll be available sim free/unlocked cos I WANT ONE!!

  • is the sound loud n clear ...like 6233 .... the 6233 sound is superb...so clear ..is the best ...but is tis gd

  • can't decide whether to get nokia 6131 (those great screens!) or razrv3x (2mp camera, video calling), so saw this coming soon and thought thats the one to get. However, the specs don't mention an mpeg4 player. If it had one it would be perfect. Can you play your own videos like music videos on this phone even if you have to convert them in order to do so? If you can i'll buy this phone when it's released.

  • why they didnt call this phone like N77 or N78 itwould be better , i like the N-series all of it , such a phone like this deserves a good name , i hate numbers , if ur friend ask u whats that phone dont tell 6290 tell him somthin nicer , lol , if u told him 6290 he will tell u thats sucks , what a terrible name lol byez

  • i think a 2.2 inch screen is small it wouldve been atleast 2.4 inch or more

  • do u think the music sound will be good as N95

  • Nice fone .. big fan of nokia but uhm .. i think this is just the bussines version of the l`amour 7390 with camera in front and symbian. Better specs but i still prefer the design of the black 7390.

  • Does any one know what is the video resolution? If CIF at least perfect phone

  • It is updated version of 6131 even 16m colorsSambian firmware plus Nokia over confidence its market leader has backfired,E Series have flooped miserably.The Cheapest feel of 6131 will definately reflect n 6290 esp the plastic border on sides ad keypads is too Cheap.Customers r matured enough to get quality even if u mishandle because if firmware is stable nothing can happen.Nokia has merged with Erisscon,get both brains to give a fool proof cell phone=====

  • I Don't Know Why Every One Slags Off Nokia Nowadays. They Are Such Reliable Phones And NoOne Ever Appreciates That. Ok..They're Not That Trendy..But Otherwise They're Super...

  • not a bad phone seems original the keypads look good and the color fits! hahah 50mb internal above average for a phone seldom see more than 10mb thou hahah nice phone good specs

  • the best

  • i have a question here , so its symbian based but here it stated S60 UI , does this means its the same like N80 & others using the .sisX extension where tons of S60 2nd editon apps & games are not supported ... ? seems to be a very powerful clamshell nokia had put into this phone . unlike the N75 , hi res but uses .sisX means lesser apps & games for the time being ... ?

  • everything exellent. plz can u give 3.15 mp camera for 6290 ?????????

  • Again nice secreen by Nokia , i dont knwo..but i think nokia go to do best in option in next generation of phone , and never say nokia go to loser here first place in GSM_WORLD ;) NOKIA CONNECTING POEPLE .

  • This is a new version of the lousy 6260. Nokia just borrowed the 16m display from Panasonic and the stereo speakers from Sendo X.... and an external display. That's what you call creativity.

  • nokia can you make a phone that rotating camera like toshiba TS705 pls because all of your phone all i like even though no camera or no memory card or no menory enough.... :))))

  • symbian...16M and 2.2 inc screen...2MP camera with flas...radio...3G......very very good features...nice design...good work NOKIA :-)

  • two new clampshells. has nokia finally realise the popularity of this type of phone? Anyway, better late than never. Still, at 325euros this is an expensive phone. Motorola's hot selling v3x is a lot cheaper.

  • Now this is a special nokia

  • nowadays nokia is concentrating on performance,style,size,price because their competitors are not so bad, that's what we can see in case of 6290 gprs,edge,symbian os,3g,dual camera,16m colors,3d sound all these facilities in a resonable price. i think this is the ultimate mobile and if its performance is also good it will surely break the record of n series. iam also very eagerly waiting for this mobile

  • Why do nokia have some sort of inability to produce phones that arent pug-fugly not one decent looking fone to date and this ones no betr, ugly ugly ugly"! worthless.

  • Looks like my 6131 on steroids: S60, 3G, stereo speakers and those buttons close to the external screen. Hope to upgrade soon! :)

  • wowwwwwwwww rockssss

  • looks like it has light sensor too although it is not mentioned in the specs.

  • ofcourse there is GPRS class 32

  • very good cellphone and have symbian os

  • I think it was good phone and have a umts for video conference

  • so alan da tornado the se k800 is all powerful and all conquering for 2007? i was thinking the n95 has that sewn up already.oh well we shall see......

  • Uhmmmmmm GSMARENA! i think theres no GPRS class 32.:) maybe class 10, 32 kbps...

  • HIIIIIIIIIII 4 me dis model looking great. But with juz 2MP cam n copied structure, it feel hohohohohoh..... I use SE K800i n 4 me da model is perfect, Cyber-Shot n powerful software. 4 year of 2007, goes SE 4 da powerful think of Mobiles ;) ...

  • i suppose the video format it can record is 3gp only just like any other nokia phones. its quite stupid 'coz i like recording videos and 3gp is not that good. i am using D900 when recording my videos and it is superb! it captures mp4 format clearly!

  • Come on Nokia take away WIFI from the 6086 and put it in this one!..looks fine

  • please anyone can tell me a release price for this handset.

  • gosh, what a ugly phone...ugly and ugly

  • this set has got all good features like good quality of sound, symbian but cam is off 2 megapixel and shape is not so good. but offcoarse this gonna b a good mob

  • an ugly phone with great features. not gonna buy it for its design.

  • every thing seems perfect but why nokia don't put autofocus in their cams also same as n75 but changed the covers

  • Hope these newer phones will be able to take VGA video like the 6233. So far all the phones released (accept for symbians) seem to be a step back in terms of its video specs... dont understand why though.

  • when is this phone comin out, in 2007 ? like january ? or like march -april 2007 ?

  • well nokia congrats with the first flip flop 3g and symbian and i love the amount of internal memory.continue with ur successess.

  • Nice phone with nice feats with clamshel and 16M colour, if it is cheaper than the n75 why would anybody buy n75. Keep up the nonsense work Nokia. But anyway both are cool phones

  • The N75 has US 3G! But this one has a better battery.. a 3.5mm headphone jack.. S60v3FP1.. and should be slightly less expensive.

  • stereo speakers! 88cc, loud enough. nice! 1 thing bugs me though, camera lacks of autofocus. aarrggghh

  • Quad-band with EDGE class 32... Very good for T-mobile US me thinks

  • cool phone

  • It's quite a bit smaller and ligher than the N75. smaller screen and totally different screen outside. some different specs in connectivity. and.. it looks different than the N75.

  • and mini USB

  • just don't get it... why Nokia do not add A2DP prfile to phones?

  • To the person who said he/she can't see any difference in this phone and the N75,i say the difference would be in the price. I say this would be (at the very least) a hundred US dollars cheaper.

  • Thank God! A Symbian Nokia clamshell in a reasonable size and (by the specs) great features! I hope this will come out soon!

  • any info on video recording resolution.

  • Can't see any difference with the N75 ?

  • Great work by Nokia. A lear winner. Perhaps the follower of 3230...?

  • Now this is the phone im sure gona gift my gf...she was always sceptical abt symbian n its advantages!!! time to her her into the league... pretty good phone this....good wid features!!

  • This looks like a great phone for 325 euro. It's supposed to use S60v3 FP 1 also!

  • nice phone
