Nokia 2600 mobile phone
Skip contentNokia 2600 is an entry-level, dual band mobile phone, which comes in a candy bar styled case. Being at the budget end of the market, this phone is designed for the user who is looking primarily for something to handle voice calls and texting. However, this model does still include a few extra features that will help its users to function better; for example, it has a speakerphone to enable you to talk hands-free, or when you wish to include other people in the conversation. The phone also comes loaded with polyphonic ringtones.
The display on the 2600 is a LCD with a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels, and this screen can reproduce up to 4,096 different colours. By today’s standards this is a fairly average display, although it is adequate for the uses that this phone is likely to be put, and it is capable of presenting the icons and images that are used in the phone’s graphical user interface. One other purpose of the screen is to enable you to play the three games that come installed in the phone, and this could provide some entertainment when you have a little time to kill. The game titles are Mobile Soccer, Bounce, and Nature Park.
As with many other models, it is possible to personalise the Nokia 2600 by changing the theme, wallpaper, animated screensaver, or ringtone, and suitable content can easily be downloaded over-the-air (OTA). This phone even features a ringtone composer, which enables users to compose their own alert sounds - they are only monophonic, but the opportunity to play around with the sounds could be a source of fun for some users.
To help identify callers, you can select a ringtone to play when you receive a call from a particular phone number. Another customisation feature are the profiles, which enable you to choose which ringtones, colours, and wallpapers are to be used for different events or environments. For a more major makeover, this phone also offers the possibility of replacing the external covers, and Nokia produces suitable Xpress-on™ covers to modify the phone.
There are limited opportunities for messaging with the Nokia 2600, but it is possible to send and receive SMS messages and SMS chat, and to exchange some simple picture messages. One messaging feature, which might appeal to some users, is the chance to set your own signature text; this can then be automatically added to your SMS messages to create a professional touch.
Among the 2600’s organiser functions are a calendar, reminders, spreadsheet, clock, alarms, countdown timer, stopwatch, calculator, currency converter, and a customisable unit converter. The application Sheet offers you the chance to calculate such things as your daily or monthly expenses in a spreadsheet format, and the expenses are set out in predefined expense categories, such as Food and Entertain. The phone also comes equipped with a vibration alert and T9™ predictive text input.
