Nokia 6800 Cell Phone Review
With the 6800, Nokia introduces a radical new phone design. At first glance, the Nokia 6800 messaging device looks similar to the company’s other compact wireless phones. However, this phone’s keypad flips up to reveal a full keyboard for quicker and easier text input. A four-way joystick presents an additional mode of navigation. The high-resolution 128-x-128-pixel 4,096-color screen automatically rotates from a vertical to a horizontal orientation when the keyboard is in use for easier viewing.
The Nokia 6800 phone’s GPRS connection ensures high-speed data transmission so users can quickly exchange data via infrared technology and have fast access to Internet content via the XHTML browser. This device also integrates voice mail, e-mail, SMS, instant messaging, and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). Special messaging features include the option to use distribution lists to send messages to multiple recipients and the ability to send up to four linked messages with up to 160 characters each using SMS concatenation. This phone is equipped with Java technology and comes preloaded with several Java applications (E-mail Client, Instant Messaging, Converter, Portfolio Manager), two games (Triple Pop and Bounce), plus the ability to download more. For fun, the phone has polyphonic ring tones, eight different color schemes, various wallpaper patterns, and a stereo FM radio.
The phone book in the Nokia 6800 holds up to 500 contacts with multiple phone numbers and text entries for each contact. Other notable phone features include voice dialing for up to 10 numbers, voice commands for up to nine menu items (with up to five of them active at one time), the capacity for 3 minutes of recorded memos, and an integrated speakerphone. Standard organizational features include a calendar with a monthly view, a to-do list with priority levels, and a Notepad application for jotting down brief notes of up to 3,000 characters. The phone book, calendar, and to-do list can all be synchronized with a PC using Nokia 6800 PC Suite software. This phone’s extended Li-Ion battery is rated for up to 4.5 hours of digital talk time and 10 days of digital standby time.
