For people who want something more than calls / sms from their phone without breaking their bank, here is a colorful alternative from Nokia called 2600 Classic. I was primarily interested in this phone because i thought it would make a nice Mother’s Day gift. But when I came across this phone from my friend , my views on it was somewhat skeptical.
- For starters, the phone was slightly larger than my K550i in terms of height, making it look somewhat ungainly but the slimness and weight was OK.
- The 128 x 160 pixel 65000 color TFT screen was not that bright but OK for a phone costing 3200/- (80$)
- The phone was a extremely slow coach, which my friend told me was the case of this phone from the first day. To even open a empty folder took time. (Might be a firmware upgrade will do the trick)
- Other than these slight niggles, the sound quality was nice and the 10MB memory will hold some mp3’s (if you can shrink it small enough like I do
), pictures, themes etc. - The VGA camera was also quite good
- The connectivity department is also excellent for this class of phone with gprs/edge, usb, bluetooth
- Extras like FM radio, java games, an extra color panel makes it a value buy
For people who want a more professional looking phone with capabilities to use as a gprs/edge modem you can try Nokia 2630
