Nokia 6282 hands-on impressions
When it comes to handsets, Nokia tends to make them big and bulky, and the 6282 is no exception; at 4 by 1.8 by .8 inches and tipping the scales at 4.1 ounces, this black-and-silver slider felt heavy in our hands. That said, the 6282 is blessed with an impressively smooth and responsive sliding action, and its flat, mid-sized keys are easy to press. The 262,000-color QVGA display looked superb, and we got a kick out of navigating the phone’s snazzy animated icons (courtesy of Nokia’s Series 40 third edition UI).
The UMTS-enabled 6282 comes equipped with a 1-megapixel camera (not bad, but a 3.2-megapixel camera would have been better), a somewhat more impressive VGA-quality, 15fps video recorder, a built-in FM radio, an MP3/AAC music player, Bluetooth, and a miniSD flash-memory expansion slot.
Pricing and availability
The Nokia 6282 is slated to appear in Cingular’s U.S. lineup sometime in the second quarter of 2006; pricing has yet to be announced.
