6280 dust UNDER the screen - PROOF


As i have been talking about the dust issue on the Nokia UK forum and my blog i will give you proof of how much dust there is in my Nokia 6280's screen and that is under the screen so you have to take it to a Nokia Service Centre to clean it.


I used the flash on my 5MP camera to reflect the dust off the screen.


The image above is the picture.
This was a great picture as you can see every piece of dust on there!

6280 loose slider


My 6280 has a very very loose slider and has a big gap between the block and the slider... The image is above.

6280 is not supported on NSU

I downloaded the new NSU today which is version 1.3.83 i think.


I plugged in my 6280 and guess what, it said it's not supported again...

Heres a screenshot for proof.

Voip on N95

Currently, Vodafone and Orange have crippled VoIP.

Now T-Mobile are not allowing TruPhone.

What a disaster for the networks, They are all slowly crippling VoIP.

Virgin and o2 are left, Lets just hope they don't cripple it too......

Nokia 5700

It looks very good, It's a mix between the 5300 and the 3250.
It has a very very very fast processor, 369MHZ
The TFT display is 2.2inches with 16M colours
The camera is 2 MP with QVGA Video resolution
It has 3G and it only weighs 115 grams
It has the same twisty design as the 3250 and works pretty much the same
It has a powerful audio chip
35MB Ram
It has Mini-usb port with a2dp bluetooth profile.

W960 8GB Walkman - 3.2 megapixel camera - WiFi - 2.6 Touchscreen.. Even better than the N91 8GB!!!!!


Holy God, Sony Ericsson are really competing against Nokia!!
This time they are competing against the N91 8GB and guess what it's even better than that!!
They've got it spot on this time!
It's a 8GB Walkman, It's got WiFi, It has a 2.6 inch touchscreen, 3G and Stereo bluetooth
This is way better than the N91 8GB. :)
3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus!! thats gotta be good!
Also it's a smartphone.
It definatly has a better keypad than the W950.
Well this maybe the best music phone of 2007 if anything better gets released.

6280 2MP camera VS Siemens C65 0.1MP Camera




Firstly, I came up with a test of the Nokia 6280 and Siemens C65 which has a 0.1 Megapixel camera and the 6280 has a 2MP.



In this test i will take a picture of a piece of text on a newspaper with a close up.


Both phones have no auto focus and no macro mode the picture my 6280 and C65 is above.




Now the 6280, I took a picture of a piece of text with it and this is what it looked like below


As you can see from the picture of the 6280 it's actually out of focus and very blurred. Very bad indeed.



Now it's time for the C65 with the o.1 megapixel camera which is low resolution but lets see how it will turn out! Look below


Wow!!! it's actually in Focus? the siemens c65 does not have auto focus or macro! but it certainly beat the 6280!!

This means that the 0.1mp camera from the C65 beat the 2MP camera of the 6280!

S60 Solutions and Nokia Service Centres

If something wierd happens to your Nokia S60 3rd Edition.... You should try these:
  • Type in *#7370#, then put in 12345 unless you have changed it and this will do a soft reset of the phone - Hopefully this will fix your problem.
  • When booting up the phone, Hold all these 3 keys : Green call key the number 3 and the star '*' - this will do a full reset so make sure you backed anything up.
  • Remove the battery and the sim card - This might fix your problem but there is a small chance.
  • Type in *#0000# see if you have the latest software (Firmware) version for your Nokia S60, Check from this page: http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4305060

And last of all! Yes! The Nokia Service Centre, Your Nokia has a 2 Year warranty on it and they can fix it for free.. They can flash new firmware onto your phone, They can check it's battery connections and see if its not faulty, they can replace your covers with new funky colours.. Etc etc.

New Sony Ericsson!! But with 5 MP!!


The New K850!! Bound to be a hit for camera users! 5 Megapixels, This is quality stuff from Sony Cybershot!


There are too many buttons and it looks abit complicated to me! The navigati button is on the '2' and '5' numbers of the keypad so it looks a little awkward to me.

Anyway thats not the point, i want to know if this can beat the Nokia N95 in terms of quality, soon there will be reviews on the camera soon...

See ya :)

6280 reddy pixels and very very out of focus pictures



Heres the reddy pixels - Picture of my psp as you can see below.

And the out of focus picture above.......


6280 - Short review

My 6280 is getting rubbisher and rubbisher by the day.

First i will talk to you about the problems i have had with this 6280 V 05.92 (07-09-06)
  • Signal - Absoloute rubbish, cuts out when you slide the phone up
  • Slider - I have seriously got to comment on this - It's wobbly and nasty
  • Crashes (firmware bugs) - When on internet phones crashes and goes back to the standby screen
  • Crashes (again) - When on games the phone just freezes and any button you press will be ignored, Going to have to take the battery out aint ya?
  • Dusty Screen - The worst thing about this phone so far is ..... Yes you guessed it, Dusty and rusty nokia screen, it has been badly manufactured

Now i will talk about the Camera of this device, it runs a 2 megapixel camera with flash and no autofocus 1600 * 1200 resolution.

It has bad quality images, the CMOs sensor is just too small and dark pictures come out in reddy bluey pixels.

I will post some images of the camera of this phone later...

See ya people :)
