Nokia 2600 Classic


Yesterday Nokia launched the new Nokia 2600 Classic cellphone at a small media briefing held at Zoo Lake, Johannesburg.
The 2600 Classic is a mid-range phone that features a full colour screen, VGA camera, Video recorder and FM player. Additionally it comes with Bluetooth, MP3 ringtones and an internal memory of 10MB that can’t, unfortunately, be upgraded.
Raymond Fritz, Nokia’s GTM head of sales for South Africa, says they have high expectations for the 2600 Classic because, he claims, there are no other phones in this price range that offer such an array of features.
I had an opportunity to play with the phone and I’m impressed with what it can do. It’s extremely light, very thin and it almost feels like you’re not even holding a phone.
One of the most interesting features of the phone is the new “prepaid tracker” which works in conjunction with the mobile network operators to cap call usage on the phone. This will be a great feature for families wanting to give prepaid phones to children as it gives the parents complete control over billing thereby avoiding any nasty surprises at the end of the month.
I have to admit I was expecting a poorly designed, featureless phone but I’m pleasantly surprised with what Nokia have done with the 2600 Classic.
