Nokia unveiled the new Nokia 6288, a 3G slide phone that adds high-quality video playing capabilities to its mix of features. With real-time video sharing and video ringtones, the Nokia 6288 is designed to take full advantage of the benefits of 3G technology.

The compact slide phone device is bundled with a 512 MB memory card making it ideal for watching favorite video clips on its bright QVGA, 262,144 color display (320x240 pixels). Outfitted with a 2-megapixel and a VGA camera, the Nokia 6288 makes it easy to share videos and participate in two-way video calls.

The Nokia 6288 also includes dedicated camera and zoom buttons making it even more convenient to record a video or snap a picture of family and friends. Videos taken with the Nokia 6288 can be edited then sent via MMS and email, while Bluetooth technology lets you print pictures directly to any compatible picture printer. The Nokia 6288 weighs 115g and is available in striking cool-white and black colors.

its almost the same as in design.. juz a bit rounder IMO..

Looks weird...in my oppinion, the 6280 looks better..Not much difference in specs or i might say its exactly the same?Well, ugly keypad to me..If the price is more expensive, then people would leave this out..

not much different with 6280

reminds me of 6111

looks like cheap plastic 2 me,haha

yup, the built of it looks very plasticky, too smooth adi

the diff is that nokia has upgraded its battery to a bigger capacity, hence longer toking time.

Well, thats all about it i guess.Bigger capacity battery, bigger memory provided and a slightly different design..

well.. i think ppl would rather go for other phones than this again lor..

6280 really looks nicer than this...

Definitely agree on this..They keypad was especially bad...

eh? Tot reversion model should be built better way?

er... better in terms of the battery life lo...
it follows SE step to have Camera n Zoom button...

Well another same thing, jus add some buttons on the board...
then can sell higher price... just like 8310 n 6510 last time...

I really dont think this could be priced any higher than the current 6280 though..Mayb 100-200 difference only..But heck, if thats true, why dont just stick back to the 6280 and get urself 1g minisd and another bigger capacity battery...

to me,its just another marketing gimmick by nokia just a little change n design n different bundled stuff n a few more buttons n they release a new phone but,i must say it looks better then the old 6280

i also think tat nk6280 looks slightly better... but overall.. both is the same la.. juz a bit change here and there nia..

hmm i think 6280 keypad looks better than this.

I will assume it's a 6280 if you don't tell me it's a 6288.

the different is 6280 vs 6288

u should say tat my nk 6280(actually is nk 6288) looks more squarish and nicer than ur nk 6280.. i self mod my nk 6280 casing which looks more squarish, cool ain't it..

original nk casing?? chg urself?

nola... juz saying its a special edition of nk 6280..

seems like the weight doesnt decrease much...somehow its abit less bulky if compare with 6270..

hmm.. 6270 design actually also not bad 1.. juz tat got less function compared to 6288..

anyone know how to install english to chinese dictionary into this phone?
I saw my friend 6280 has this feature and I unable to find it on nokia web site unless Nokia 5300. thanks for ur help

stratos, how's ur 6280? nice to use? superb screen?

6288 is only bluetooth v1.2 when v2.0 is kinda common in the market... anyone know what's the pro and con between these two version? considering their bandwidth is very important. Plz share, thx.

But 1 problem, as i cant use / play mmf ringtones... i not sure why, but i look inside my 6288, there was some .mxmf file inside, which is some tone file. Is there any way to convert or change it to be able to play on 6288?

hi everyone,

may i know why is my phone (nokia 6288) will auto restart when i was sending sms....and my music player will automatically skip the mp3... my phone seem ok before last week... but after last week my phone become like dat jor... T.T anyone know wad problem is dis?? my mini SD problem or else?? ..... i tried Restore Factory Setting ad.... still the same.. please help me...

Thanks

what firmware are u using???


The MP3 is what CBR or VBR

for ur INFO they support MP3 with CBR codec but VBR......

u can update to the latest firmware which is 6.1

how long have u using it? if still new.. better change for a new one la.. claim warranty.. hueuhe

Probably is firmware corrupting.

send to service centre/warranty. if firmware problem, a reflash should easily solve it.

Ya, probably firmware corrupting. 70% for sure. If not, it'll be some hardware problem.

Try these few steps to run a simple diagnosis:
1. Try using mp3 transferred from other phones, which can play normally. If can't run as usual, file corrupted; if can, phone or card is having prob.
2. Remove your card and start it. Do like what you did and see if the problem still exist. If yes, card is ok; if no, format card and see how.
3. Bring it to the nearest Nokia Service Centre (NSC), claim for warranty if possible.

thanks... but, can i update using nokia pc suite??
today a new problem again... the slide like 'kek kek' already = =wad i mean is the slide become hard to slide...

to razuryza: ya, its still new... can i claim warranty??

i dun think u can update firmware by urself ... send it back to the shop u bought ur phone or to any nokia centre to reflash ur firmware ...

for the slide .. common problem for 6288 and 6280 ...

but is nokia site provide the firmware update?? can i send back my phone to repair the slide problem as well?? coz my phone 2 week slide problem 1 time .... really sot 1... frustrated arrghhh

6288 support nokia updater? I don't think so..

it depends on how u slide and where u apply the force if u know how to apply the force then it is very very smooth....

yeah, i tried b4. It says no current update available for this model..

thanks again... but my phone slides will sometime ok and sometime sucks.... haihz, really dissapointed on dis phone ><" can i update by using nokia software updater ?? =.= my current firmware is 5.96

edited: wad i mean hard to slide is.... like something inside and make when i am slide..got kinda sound on it... like ke-rak ke-rak de sound.... is anything inside loose ad?? o.O can i claim back warranty for dis??

This post has been edited by victor87: May 6 2007, 02:17 AM

Frankly, i've heard many complaint about this phone, but i am very satisfied with this phone.

Ok about the firmware issue, have u check whether the MP3 that cant be played is CBR or VBR. It supports MP3 with CBR codec but not VBR.

If u want to upgrade to 6.1 i recomend u to go nokia service center to do it at RM60 if u donno how to upgrade or flash it.


For the slider thing, may i know how u slide it. Because applying force and different place has a big different in sliding it.
For me, I have a crystal case. So i apply my force on the screen on the crystal case then push it up. If u apply force on the Dpad button then it will be hard to slide and u can feel that there is something under it, something like very rough.

i am so very satisfied with this phone also...

about the slide... i slide from down 1... dis problem already occur last month...but after a few day it ok back ad.... and ytday it occur again T.T may i know what is this problem... and there are something i not v sure... izzit ur's 6288 left side got a crack on it?? wad i mean is like... hard to explain here ar...u got msn?? pm me ur msn plz =) thanks

ops......wrong.......ok pm u already

i've just update my firmware myself to 6.10. actually you can do it yourself. save your RM60. if you download latest nokia pc suite 6.83, there are button for software update and nokia 6288 is in the list. doing it for me is quite easy. just be patient and follow the instruction carefully.

Thread merged.

I do not know whether this is the right place to post of not. But I recently got one nokia 6288 and when it's been ok yesterday when I was transffering files over to the phone via data storage as i do not have the nokia pc suite. As I were to transfer files to the phone today via data storage, an error saying 'parameter inccorect, unable to transfer files' popped up. Can anyone help me in this? I have totally no idea what it is....

Thread merged.

If mine is AP, means the tightening would be around rm100+? Expensive lei....can only do it at nokia centre? Those phone repairing centres at LYP can ah?

This post has been edited by andrienne: May 8 2007, 05:46 PM

You bought AP? why not take it back to the AP company for warranty?

posted at wrong thread.....deleted addons

This post has been edited by schizophrenic: May 8 2007, 08:27 PM

i transfer to 2GB memory card so far no problem

what is tightening

swt, N95? Anyway some Palm PDA is running under Texas Instrument processor as well... if i am not mistaken its either nokia TJ37 or palm zire 71 cause i both and forget which one edi. N95 is as fast as a PALM PDA only although PALM PDA exist many years edi.

sorry posted at the wrong place. LOL
transferred to N95 thread.

tightening means i wanna make the slider become tighter and not so loose like now. i'm scared to slide open the phone till a point that i don't want to slide open to reply smses that much. hahahaha.

the problem bout the different parameter solved. i just formatted the whole card and voila!

bring it back to the ap company for warranty? will they really help me to tighten it ah?

LOL, some ppl want to losen it, but u want to tighten it....



This post has been edited by chicaman: May 10 2007, 09:28 PM

mine is original set and they assisted me in it.

as for AP....I'm not sure but no harm trying right?
at least this way, you do not risk losing your warranty

do let us know when you solve it....
btw i heard that if you put the tape underneath the slider it can help.

and it won't show when you slide your phone open......

but do tat if ur phone no more warranty lor...

lol... my phone's slide back to tighten again... haha...

not going to do it within this one month cause finals.....no time
hopefully the slider won't come off lor(i know it's impossible...but who knows??? )]
putting tape under the phone? like how????

means you tighten it already? so nice....

btw hor...the cam is not so nice ler....i thought it should be ok cause 2mp ma...but manatau >.< (ya lah...i know shouldn't complain much cause it's a phone not a cam).

deciding to replace my 2nd phone with SE cam phone...hehe.

i only got for n95
but it should be the same reasons why the slider is loose.

erm... is there actually a method to check the sliding count like the one with SE phone???
just curious.. cos i'm getting a 6288 tomolo... tot asking this so that i can check the phone...

sliding count? meaning how many times u slide open the phone?

YEAPS!!! thats what i meant.... like for SE u can check the flip count with a special... so i was wondering if for nokia there is such thing....

as far as i know don't have la

Urgh...my phone punya lcd kong d. sometimes when i slide slowly, it'll be like normal. when i wanna call out as in urgently, i'll slide the phone a little bit quicker and the screen turns blank. sometimes the whole display will go upside down. really damn annoying. this time really have to send to get the warranty d. stupid phone. i never dropped the phone before and all of a sudden, it turned to be in this state. took it to the nearby phone shop and tht guy said it's due to the slider...don't know true or not cause he looks so unprofesional >.<

wanna ask sumting.
is it valuable 4 me to buy this phone in price of rm800+++
coz got other phone with quite similiar specs... with cheaper price.
or better specs with the same price.

i just bought this phone today...looks nice to me and the features quite ok at the price range of RM800+...

but looks like got a few glitches here and there huh? LCD terbalik?
that's terrible...

yours is AP set right under warranty?

doubt it is the slider.

most likely the errrr cable connecting lcd to body.

how long have you been using this phone?

it is terrible.....urgh~! sakit hati.

don't know bout it...the 'pro' near my house said so. but am sending it to warranty sooner than what i've planned. hopefully it's only the cable(or whatever you call it)that is faulty cause i am so afraid that those things i saved inside my phone gone....

less than 2 months and i never dropped before.....haih.

hey guys anyone know where i can get S40 applications for free and games

I bought this phone on friday and so far i cant find a sing le fault with it its been great...the sound quality has been very good there are a great variety of themes i like the keypad very nice touch to it. If you want some class in your phone this is the one...

Hi There !!! . Anyone has the mmc format for nk 6288 ??

wat do u mean, it uses miniSD

just success upgrade my 6288 to 6.10 using Nokia Software Updater

Any1 tried 2gb MiniSD on their Nk 6288..?

Tried my 2gb mini sd with my sis's 6280, it works. I think 6288 also works since both are more or less the same

hmm.. no lags when searching pics and vids rite..?

Now my sis using 1gb. Got lag when searching pics and vids. I checked the firmware, its year 05's firmware. Dunno newer firmware can improve that or not. Dun wanna help her, cuz she dun even care that it lag or smooth.

no lag at all

2GB sandisk miniSD

When u put too many games in 1 folder, when u open that folder it will takes longer time to open, other than that confirm no lag

Ok then.. my fren wanna confirm b4 buying..

Thanks for all the info..

how about the battery life of this phone?
my friend say about 1~2 day only on normal usage.
it is normal?

Yo guys, finally a proud owner of this phone reporting in....

Hey all, I am considering getting this phone but the I can't make up my mind because this phone seems to be a little bulky,fat and a little heavy. So how le?

well, personally, if u don't want a fat, bulky and a heavier phone, u could always get the 6300, stylish and the functions are almost the same.

6300= NO 3G

If i play games or songs, i'll have to charge at the end of the day. Normal usage, 1-2 days, should be normal lar.

me too!



Btw. When i'm play songs with the Music Player, it tends to stop, screen goes blank, restart on its own (but not reset-ing phone if you get what i mean, like, no need to ask for pincode)

I think it's the memory card tho. What say you?
