Nokia 6280: the compact 3G slider.

The Nokia 6280 is not tagged as a 'smart' phone but the device includes almost all the features you'll find in a 3G smart phone. The slider is smartly designed in silver and black with the later being more widespread. Though the design resembles the Nokia 6270, the 6280 wields more firepower when it coes to features. The dimension of the Nokia 6280 makes it very compact and comfortable to handle and operate.

The phone comes with a 262k colors deliverable large TFT display. The slider smoothly opens to reveal the tactile keypad differentiated by a 'silver lining'. A VGA camera for video calling across WCDMA networks is placed just above the display. Since the Nokia 6280 is based on conventional S40 platform, so the interface is fast and highly responsive unlike the 'smart' phones in S60 platform that usually shows a lag of around one second. The Nokia 6280 is equipped with a superior 2.0 mega pixel camera with digital zoom and integrated LED flash.
