Hey everyone, i just got the nokia 6260 and wanted to make my little own review.. here it is..
compared to the 7610 there isnt much to talk about. the design of the phone is quite good , the numeric part of the phone is quite hard and the buttoms are very easy to use. the "call" and "reject" buttons are chromed and yes they mark every fingerprint pressed, they are a bit harder than the other number buttons.
on the other part of the phone the screen is super nice and crisp and very bright, i tried to put the brightness of my 7610 to the max and still couldnt reach the 6260 !.. the buttons up there are rather weird. let me explain:
on the left u have the left selection key and the pencil button which are nice and firm and a bit hard to press but that is not the problem there is the small menu button key sticking out of them making them a little harder to reach.. on the right side u have the right selection key and the "c" button , those are also hard and can be pressed with a little effort. the middle u have the very easy to press up , down , left , right buttons and the select key in the middle , but the select key is hard.. so u get the picture ?? easy to move around , hard to select... get the feeling now ?? i automatically start using my finger nails.. not easy to use the phone with big fingers and no nails , its almost very hard to press the select button without moving up or down
rotating the screen was a nice new feature of nokia u can rotate it 180 digrees anti-clockwise.. and only 90 digrees clockwise. quite weird but nice.
the camera was a good normal vga camera but the zoom was a disappointment... there is only "one step" and its sooo pixelated.. soo full of boxes and really nice a nice looking view. but what is great is that the phone with its various angles and holding positions can take pictures anyside without having to actually point the phone to the direction like other phones.. let me explain.. LEFT = the phone has the camera on the left , so the usual opening of the phone and camera mode gives u a viewfinder of ur left side... RIGHT put the screen on the outer side and close it.. therefore ur camera lense is on the right side and ur viewfinder looks to the right .. FRONT rotate ur screen 90 digrees anti-clockwise and u get what nokia has presented.. BACK ( or urself ) rotate the top part of the phone 90 digrees clock wise and u see urself.
zooming and picture taking can be done by the buttons on the right side of the phone..
the battery is bl-4c , didnt have enough time to compare it with the 7610 but it seems to last a bit less than the 7610..
rs-mmc is hotswappable without the removale of the battery was a nice trick under nokias sleeves..
the OS is nice and quick as the 7610, no complains , typing is just a joy and simple , the 7610 was a bit harder and had that clicking noise , well here there is a simpler clicking noise.
another anoyance i found what that while typing if u make a mistake u will have to go all the way up and press the "c" button which can need some getting used to.
another point if u ever got irritated by having finger prints on ur chrome then this phone might irritate u abit.. it got chrome in the "call" and "reject" and all around the numberpad. and on top u got them all around the screen and buttons. the power button is also chrome lol the side buttons are chrome aswell.
a REAL dissapointment is that when rotating the screen slowly the phone thinks u r entering into the camera position and it will automatically open up the camera mode and if it is opened and u return or continue to a normal mode it doesnt close the viewfinder and has to be exited by the exit button. if u rotating it quick enough it wont open, but still that is a real disappointment and it cant be switched off.
the power botton is a little "inside" but very soft..
the screen is really really nice and bright and the buttons have a very light purpleish light. and i got no coments on the OS as it is as same as the 7610... the phone has ptt which i didnt even try out yet cuz its really late and i got not gprs settings yet anyways.. any questions ??
cheers :D
p.s. the pictures are above the 250kb limit.. i will see what i can do about them tomorrow and see if i can post them , till them enjoy :)
