| ugachaka's Full Review: Nokia 8260 Cell Phone |
After using this phone for some time, here's what I have to say:
- Size/Weight : This phone is incredibly small. So small, in fact, that it could fall out of your pocket without you knowing it (although some of the Samsung brand phones are worse.) That said, it's nice to know that when you're in for a long call, this phone won't break the poor arm trying to hold it up. It fits quite nicely in most palms, although users with big hands may feel a little more uncomfortable with this phone.
- Form : A hidden antenna prevents the phone from catching onto anything, which is helpful compared to models like that of Ericsson. In terms of form factor, it's slim and small and follows the new design of Nokia phones.
- Buttons : Very responsive to feedback, the buttons are excellent even for those with big hands like mine.
- Menu : Nokia phones have a very intuitive menu and selection system that is even now being copied to a certain extent by other phone manufacturers. With a tree of options and very clear classification of features, using the phone becomes easy enough even for an eight-year-old.
- Battery : Battery life on this set, however, is slightly lacklustre. Recharges are frequent. And DO NOT leave the phone in the charger overnight. I learnt this the hard way when my charger burnt out. Luckily, the phone automatically stops charging when fully-powered, so I didn't lose my phone.
- Screen : The screen size of this phone is big enough for such a small handset. The graphics and text are clear and sharp, allowing for easy reading without hurting the eyes. (Don't stare too long at any phone screen anyway.)
- Features : This phone has all the basic features you'd want for your handphone, and Nokia throws in extras like lots of ring tones. Plus, you can download tones and startup graphics from the Net.
All in all, I would say this is a great buy and you won't regret getting it for yourself.
