Review of Nokia 6290

it is actually a verry good and detailed review (really long read for a review)...

i am liking the new music player and the 3D ringtone... ooohhh, it even has doppler effect!!
 
why aren't more people talking about this device...

I'm not to fond of the N75, don't like the "flat" look of it...
held the dummy phone today, it' okay but not something I would love...

the N76 is beyond fugly...
like ugly like a busted face hoodrat with a phat booty couldn't get talked to 'cause she's actually THAT ugly type of fugly..
that's rare.....

I like the 6290, it seems like the "blue collar" worker of the S60 flips...
I saw the videos of that can be done with the outer buttons and screen and I am impressed...

I wish this thing would hurry up n come out...

I've been looking at the N73 recently, but I love my flip phones...
 
From the article, it seems that Nokia is trying to market this as a regular phone, and not like their N-Series multimedia devices, even though it's exactly the same as the N76 feature by feature. They "accomplish" this by choosing different areas to put the menu items, which the reviewer found quite illogical.

Hopefully this will mean the phone will be cheaper the the 390 euros the N76 is supposed to cost at launch.

Also of interest, the screen is only a 256k color screen as opposed to 16m for the N75 and N76. Not a big deal really.
 
I'm getting kind of anxious....
I just want a new phone and I just wasn't too impressed with the N75, and especially not with the N76....
with the 6290, it's like putting the interior of an ES 600 into a Camry......

why do I always pick the "step children" to desire...

first the 6260, then the N71, and now the 6290....

I never pick the popular phones to crave....
 
I'm disappointed to see that this mid range phone is only getting decent battery life with the same battery as the N95! AH!

Edit: The N75 has one feature that separates it far from the 6290: UMTS for the US.
 
I think this is my first post...oh well, if you look at the Benchmark Tests at the bottom of the review it shows that the screen does display 16 million colors...I think it was a typo in the review.
 
You got it! ...welcome!!

also, does anyone know what theme is being used in the first set of pictures?

edit: lmao...didnt see you've been a member since march of 04...guess you've been around. I do remember a few weeks/months ago a guy posted hhis first post here in the S60 forums and he'd been a member since '02
...I think Angel actually caught that one.
