Thanks to bumble for flogging me her KG800 I now have what I can only describe as a demonic mobile handset. I quite liked the Nokia but if I am honest some of what Skeddy had to say about it was in the end true. Now I can't just switch to the LG because I like my 3G speed, I have packages and apps that don't and won't ever run on the KG800 but man if you're in to "the look" it's the most amazing mobile handset.

The first thing you need to know is that the V3 Razor whilst not the best in software (when it first came) is probably the most well made handset I have ever had the pleasure of in my hand. In comparison to ALL other handsets, design wise, it's leaps ahead. Why am I saying this about a V3 when it's the Nokia 6280 that I am going a review about? Well, the built quality of the 6280 feels like Lego in comparison to the V3 Razor. Of course that's because it's made of plastic rather than an alloy. The slide action on the 6280 is actually pretty good, it doesn't feel like it's going to fall to pieces after a few months even if it is a little jerky. When I got the handset I had no problems getting the 64meg memory card slotted in, the sim and the battery. On first switching it on it needed to let the SIM card talk to the network which I am always dubious about. Probably just the handset registering the fact it's a 3G one but still, being a geek, I like to know what's going on. Copying all my numbers to the phones memory was a breeze and one of the first things I noticed about this handset was it's speed. The V3 was a slow handset even when I got it but you got used to it. This handset is around two even three times the speed. Getting everything else set up was easy the only bug bear was my answer phone settings which for some reason had not been stored to the SIM so a quick dial to T-mobile and it's was sorted.

As from tomorrow morning I will be the proud owner of the new Nokia 6280 (which T-Mobile only got in today, woo!). I really quite liked my Motorola V3 Razor and it has served me well over the last year. It's looking like it's been through WWIII thought due to the fact I keep it in the same pocket as my keys and change. It's been probably the most solid handset in terms of design and it's only recently that it has started to crash be slightly buggy, which I can probably put down to the fact that I have hacked the crap out of it with various bits of stuff. On that score it's been the most customisable handset I have had. Even though you can't download new themes for it I managed to hack the handset and create my own and upload it to it. If anyone wants some advice on how to do any of this I'll be happy to publish what I did and the tools I used or created for it.
