Nokia 2600 Classic Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Nokia 2600 Classic is a very basic camera
phone priced at well below £100. With a basic VGA camera and no
music player, this is best suited as a first phone for a young teenager.
The FM radio, good battery life and practical keypad layout for texting
make this phone worth a look.

I bought this phone in 2009 and it is still in perfect working order today,
dispite me dropping it more than a dozen times.After reading the other reviews

verious colours.A damm good phone....!

Nokia 2600c is too slow... A 1 second delay kicks in after each button press.
Whoever in the Nokia office OK'ed this to be released to the public should be
put down with tranquilizers and locked in a mental hospital cell forever.

such a bad phone. unbelievably slow, especially on start-up when it feels like
a 10year old PC. buttons are too cramped together making it hard to txt and
easy to accidently press send or exit when texting. very very very poor design

This must be the worst phone I've used. I've received it as a work phone and
it's replacing my DMP300. I'm gutted The menus are slow, the square menu button
is fiddly. To turn up / down the volume during a call, you have to use the square
menu button, which means pulling the phone away from your ear. The whole system
is just badly designed. Another example? The alarm clock. You have the option
of setting snooze. So when it goes off, good luck on guessing which key is which,
but that may because of choosen a standard background with Black at the bottom
and the font stays black. How stupid is that? The wife has a cheaper Motorola
than this which blows it out of the water.
