Review: Nokia 6288

**Anilrgowda** · 05-Jan-2007, 01:32 AM

The Nokia 6288 is an updated version of the 6280 3G slide phone. It has a high gloss finish, available in black or white, and is an attractively styled slide phone.
On paper, the 6288 is identical to the 6280. The one difference is that the 6288 ships with a larger 512 Mbyte card.
The 6288 is a high-end phone with most of the features found on a smartphone, except that it uses a fast Series 40 operating system instead of a Symbian operating system. It comes equipped with an excellent 2 megapixel camera with a flash and digital zoom, and a second VGA camera for video recording and for making video calls. The display is one of the best on the market - a TFT display with 320 x 240 pixels and 262,144 colours.
The phone comes with a stereo music player compatible with MP3, MP4, AAC and eAAC+ formats, as well as an FM radio. With a 512 Mbyte memory card you can store plenty of tracks, and the memory card can be expanded further if desired.
The 6288 is fully specified with features such as enhanced voice dialling, a voice recorder, and integrated handsfree speaker, email and Nokia Xpress audio messaging. There are three 3D Java games supplied with the phone - 3D Rally, 3D Golf & 3D Snake and you can download more.
The 3G connection is very fast, and the phone also supports EDGE for fast downloads in 2G mode. Connectivity is excellent, with Bluetooth, USB and infrared all supported.
As we have not yet seen the 6288, we cannot say whether Nokia have fixed the many problems that the 6280 suffered from. The 6280 was an unreliable phone and users reported all kinds of problems with it. Read the user reviews below for an indication of how the 6288 performs. For the moment, we have downgraded our rating of the phone in anticipation of problems, but if Nokia have fixed the problems, then this phone will deserve a full 5 stars.
