Nokia 6288 (2007)

OK – If you like Nokia then you will like this model. Quite handy in size considering its 3G. The large screen is nice. 1. Great colours black & white. 2. Long battery life - 2 days if talk time for 1 hr 3. Slide locks quite nicely 4. Ring tones are fantastic. 1. The menu is not numbered for selection like the LGs. SO you have to scroll down to… Read more

reach the item of your choice.

2. The shiny phones looks old quite easily if not used with a case. Sometimes it can be disadvantage.

3. The large screen can easily get scratched.

4. The "ok" button seems to be dodgy.

5. Radio signal is quite weak using the antenna.

Good – overall its a pretty good phone if you can put up with slowish internet and the occasional fault (its not hard to do). it is genuinly useful and works well. sorry to say the sound isnt the best. the camera is good and has a flash the only thing wrong with the camera is the lack of effects which are always fun. i would definately reccomend it, it… Read more

works well its just missing the wow factor in the looks but other than that great phone. im missing it now. great screen, good battery life, easy to use, nice size, text can be big or small, good icons, good layout, nice camera. chunky, slide goes sort of "gritty" when you use it too much, easily scratched, doesnt mix well with water, bit slow on internet and when on internet theres a chance that the screen will sort of flashs white then black then go all the way back and you have to start again.

Good – Overall the 6288 is a decent phone which allows you to play MP3, video files and take decent quality photos which are able to be printed and they look alright. Such a reliable phone as well, no complaints. 2 MP camera with LED flash, great for taking photos at night. The video quality is decent as well and the ability to play MP3 files gives a… Read more

good replacement for a typical MP3 player. The user interface is decent as well and it supports video calls as well. The slide mechanism seems a bit loose. But it's still going strong after a year and a half.

Bad – My handset kept turning itself off. After about 7months, seems to have software issues. Even after updating the phone software still issues. So was locked into a phone contract with a useless phone. Nokia would not do anything nor my phone provider...This phone was great when i first got it camera for its time was good, screen nice and bright.… Read more

Menus easy to use and you cant beat nokia for there protective text I love it. But this experience has made me think should I change over to another company after all the trouble I have had. See how I go. camera and menus easy to use software issues

Good – I am really happy with this phone. I love the slide feature, as it covers up and protects the main keys and is so easy and fun to use. I use it for everything, apart from phone calls and messages, it's my alarm and appointment keeper, my to-do list keeper, my clock, my camera and my video camera (for those times when you suddenly need to take a… Read more

picture!). It is strong structurally and sturdy and I have never had a problem with it. Has all the functions you need to make your lifestyle easier. Slide feature to access keypad, lots of functions

Excellent – there are definately alot of mobiles to choose from these days which doesn't make finding the right phone easy but, the nokia 6288 has been my husbands favourite phone out of all the mobiles he's had (about 8). he liked the size of the buttons n particular, having big fingers he didn't feel like he had to be careful when entering numbers or… Read more

sending text message. good size buttons, loved how the calender would actually tell you how old someone was on their b'day, took out alot of the guess work, fair price for a quality phone had a screen bleed, got up one morning and 3/4 of the screen could not be seen, was just multicoloured, had only had it for 2 months when it happened.

Good – It's definitely a good phone and with the extra memory card it's really convenient as I don't need to worry about an MP3 player or camera. Easy to see, large screen, slide phone with 2 mega pixel camera, ability to access internet and plays MP3s. It has the same "nokia feel" so it was easy to use when I switched from my old phone. Good range of… Read more

tones to begin with, and can also use MP3s as tones. Camera takes decent photos in good conditions considering it's in a phone. I had trouble getting the back of it for the first time and if you use a cover it can also be difficult getting on and off. The issue of covers has been the main problem for me as I don't want the screen getting scratched, it takes forever to get anything out of a phone sock and the covers tend to take alot away from the appearance of the phone.

Good – This is a nice sliding phone. It seems to come in either white or black, I chose the white option. It is a little bulky, but I guess it has to be, given that it is a sliding phone. I don't use the camera that much, but the resolution is pretty good. I find it hard to get to the "1,2,3" buttons up the top once the phone has opened up; I can do, but… Read more

with difficulty and I don't have very large fingers. Nifty sliding phone. Pretty good looks but slightly chunky. Difficult to get to some of the buttons.

Good – This phone is very good for the money, and has an awesome camera for a phone (I now don't use my digital camera). Radio is awesome and because it is a Mini SD card they can be bought cheap. However phone is fairly chunky. Slide means that you get a big screen all the time, unlike flip phones where you only see a small screen when it is closed Has… Read more

been dropped many times, still works fine Slide mechanism can become stiff if it gets slightly wet

You can't buy replacement covers so it can be bad if you scratch the camera

OK – nice phone to use - can be used with slider up or down. probably not the most stylish phone but it has all the functions you need from a phone. the camera takes really clear pictures and you can choose whether you want them to be black and white, use the flash or night vision - some handy options. comes with a handsfree bluetooth, leather… Read more

case and car charger when you buy from 3 - great deal coloured full size screen and camera functionality hard to get the back cover off to insert the battery and sim card for the first time, took it into the shop i brought it and the assistant said that many people have the same problem
