What can be said about the mobile phone of the Finnish manufacturer, which bears the name “Nokia 2600”? On the one hand, a good level of functionality can be noted. An additional factor that a potential buyer has in order to purchase a phone is, in fact, its cost. In general, as usual, there were some shortcomings. And now we’ll talk about it.
Loss of rating due to reorientation
The Finnish manufacturer at one time (it was during the development of this apparatus) decided to focus more on developing markets than on already developed ones. Otherwise, it will be quite difficult to explain such an amplitude in functionality and other technical indicators. So, the Nokia 2600 has a really morally outdated display. For an inexpensive model, this, of course, looks like a rule, but we remember that there were exceptions. Nevertheless, in this case, the Finnish manufacturer did not bother himself. Active Internet users will probably be saddened by the lack of a browser. In general, we can conclude that the device under the name “Nokia 2600 classic” the manufacturing company decided to present exclusively as a “dialer”. The hypothesis about this is also confirmed by the talk time counter, which in this model works even during a call.
“Nokia 2600.” Phone Features
The device was assigned to the budget segment, which is easily confirmed by its cost. The first model was released in the second quarter of 2004. The device also has competing devices. The closest ones are Siemens C62 and Motorola C380. If we talk about the communication standard, then this is GSM. The lithium-ion battery is rated for a capacity of 820 milliamps per hour. The manufacturer assured the audience in a timely manner that thanks to such characteristics, the phone will be able to withstand up to 250 hours in standby mode, and 3.5 hours in continuous voice call mode. Resolution, as expected, is 128 by 128 pixels. In this case, five text lines are placed on the screen. Color rendering at the level of 4096 shades. With linear dimensions of 107.6 by 45.9 by 20.3 millimeters, the mass of the device is 94.5 grams.
Phone Type and Standards
It is represented by the classic form factor, which is usually called short and clear. This is nothing more than an ordinary candy bar. As stated almost at the very beginning of the article, the phone belongs to the budget segment of the mobile device market. Let us recall once again that due to the use of the GSM standard, the device works in second-generation cellular networks at frequencies equal to 900, as well as 1800 megahertz. Now let's talk about the display.
Screen
The display matrix is ​​made using STN technology. Despite the fact that the screen resolution is only 128 by 128 pixels, five text lines are placed on it. We already mentioned that the color rendering of the display supports the display of just over four thousand colors. Now let's talk about the source of battery life.
Battery
In our model, it refers to lithium-ion type devices. If we talk about the model, then this is the BL-5C. The battery capacity is 820 milliamps per hour. Tests were conducted more than once, which showed that the parameters declared by the manufacturer do not coincide with the actual results. Nevertheless, they are close to them. It turned out that with a continuous conversation, “Nokia 2600” can withstand only 2.5, not 3.5 hours, and in standby mode - 225 out of 250 promised hours.
Memory and features
The amount of memory built into the device is four megabytes. WAP connectivity is present, but a browser, unfortunately, is not provided for this. The phone book holds up to two hundred names. The memory in the calls will show up to ten missed calls, 10 received and the same number of outgoing. You can create (maximum) six mailing lists, each of which has the ability to add up to a dozen subscribers. Sending text messages is supported. At the same time, input methods allow you to activate the so-called “smart typing”, which we have long been accustomed to call short and simple - T9. The phone's memory can accommodate up to six dozen messages, and they can be interconnected to a border of 918 characters. Ten pre-prepared templates, SMS counter, chats, signatures - all this is laid in the foundation of the work of this model of cell phone.
