He travels and he uses the alarm on it because it's VERY VERY loud! He makes and receives calls. ...and that's about it. <br /><br />It is a very simple phone. Great for someone who just makes and recieves calls. I, myself, like to play with the features and customize everything. So, it's a great sturdy phone for a teenager or someone not really interested in having a phone other than necessary communication. But, if you are like me and like a lot of features, this is not the phone for you.<br /> <br />CONS: Few features, takes only Nokia headsets that don't ever work, only a few volume settings and it's difficult to change them. <br /><br /><br />PROS: BRIGHT blue backlight, LOUD alarm (good for a traveler), rarely drops calls, LONG battery life, can buy a charger ANYWHERE, can talk while charging phone, very sturdy and dependable.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=265 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=7875#review7875 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=7875#review7875 Mon, 17 Jan 2005 12:48:35 GMT <p><i>ndevous submitted this review of the Nokia 2260:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is a great phone if all you use it for is talking and/or text messaging which is why I use it. I've had it for about a year and I've always had great reception. I bought it as a Free 2 Go phone from AT&amp;T. It's small, the buttons are easy to use, good reception, and best of all, the minutes seem to last forever. Only bad thing is that this phone has practically no cool features. No color screen, no polyphonic ringtones, no cool games, etc. But I like it. I went back to this phone after experiencing a horrible time with the Nokia 6010. I'd rather use this one.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=265 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=7343#review7343 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=7343#review7343 Tue, 21 Dec 2004 18:30:14 GMT <p><i>racergirl27 submitted this review of the Nokia 2260:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had it over a year. it was a good phone but not for my area.i never got a good connection.

It rides 3 bands so always works anywhere you go. Voice quality sometimes scratchy, but I believe its an ATTWS issue since it only happens at home &amp; nowhere else. <br />Backlight can be used as a powerful flashlight in the dark. Having the always there analog band keeps us in service where most phones can no longer venture. <br />Only recommendation would be for Nokia to put the microphone on the keypad side of the phone because where its at now is sometimes covered just by holding the phone causing the other end to hear muffled speech.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=265 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=5946#review5946 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=5946#review5946 Wed, 06 Oct 2004 13:35:23 GMT <p><i>erica79 submitted this review of the Nokia 2260:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have used this phone for a year on Suncom's network and it's still working as good as new!

Reliable, compact and better built than many fones costing five times as much money.<br /><br />Beware the reconditioned 2260!! Someone in quality control at Nokia was asleep at the conveyer belt. Several of these fones purchased would not even power on when they were received (never found out if it was faulty power cell or the fone itself).<br /><br />The Nokia 2260 can be a real crap-shoot, decent or not even working. At least it's a small wager.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=265 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=5113#review5113 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=5113#review5113 Thu, 12 Aug 2004 05:25:13 GMT <p><i>abbazabba submitted this review of the Nokia 2260:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Ah the Nokia 2260. At best a mediocre phone that will place calls. It basically has the software of the 5165, in a smaller package. Unfortunately, it doesn't have anything near the reception. Having had this phone, and talking to others who've had it, this has been the major drawback. Inside a building, with this phone, you might as well be in a bomb shelter. Unless you live in the middle of a highway interchange with a tower in your backyard, expect no digital coverage in a building. Does your rate plan depend on you being in digital? Too bad. I was nervous about switching to GSM service. After my 2260, anything was an improvement.<br /><br />To be fair, the phone will operate fairly well in densely towered areas. If you're more than a mile from a tower, chances are, you get nothing.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=265 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=5084#review5084 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=5084#review5084 Tue, 10 Aug 2004 18:19:01 GMT <p><i>Robsickovdaphones submitted this review of the Nokia 2260:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Ok I gave it a .5 because it worked for a day and i like the blue screen. Thats good since it is hard to read other phones in a theater when you're making out with your girlfriend. Other then that, This phone sucks. First I have had this phone for 42 days now. I complained that this phone isn't working and letting me get my phone calls. I press send but it has already gone to voice mail during the first ring. Second, it goes to roam and drops the call, you cannot dial back because there is that error noise you get like the cell service is busy. You have to end the call to recall which cost you another call. Third, I cannot charge this phone. Half the time the phone is dead. It will not take a car charger. I have been suckered into over 6 car chargers for nokia phones and 4 batteries. None of which work. I can take out the battery 100 times a day and reset the phone. Nothing will let me charge it until I go back home and plug it into a wall charger. So it is unreliable to take anywhere. 4th, I have been to AT&amp;T 10 times about this phone which I have to drive 10 miles or more to tell them it isn't working. They give me every reason why they wont replace the phone, now the Warranty for 30 days has expired, and Hey, they still wont replace the phone with a different one or take it back. I have to buy another phone. The point is, Every phone call I get usually I cannot answer most, I have to call a voice-mail to see who called and call them back. So now I have 3 phone calls to every one I should have paid for. Multiply that to a month and I have over 1500 minutes in calls or more a month in which really is about 300 minutes. Before this phone was the crappy phone just like it I had problems with just about the same kind. Before that was the 5160, not a bad phone but had some problems. I think these and other problems are Nokia brand problems, Now wonder their stock is down. Don't buy this phone unless you need to make the last phone call before jumping off a bridge.

This phone has slightly more features than my previous phone, Nokia 5165, and is much nicer looking.

The call quality I've had over the past year has been about a 6 or 7 out of 10. I hear some echo's now and then when I have a decent and good signal. <br /><br />The headphone jack is not standard. I cannot use headphones made for anything besides the Nokia phones. Minor annoyance, but worth mentioning.<br /><br />The contact list has a single entry for every number, even if they are for the same person-no multiple number entries for people.<br /><br />The "FIND" option has too many steps. On my last phone, a Nextel, I hit "8" for TUV letters and it jumped to the "T" names, hit 8 again and you get "U" and so on. On this Nokia 2260, you 1) press CONTACTS, 2) (different button) FIND, 3) hit the letter/number, 4) hit FIND, 5) scroll to the number. It's usually faster for me to just scroll through the numbers until I see what I want. Unless the letters I need are between I and S, I just scroll to them.<br /><br />The biggest pain for me-no alert for voice mails. If I get a new voice mail I get a single audible tone, but there are no further tones. If you walk away from the phone and do not hear the tone, if you don't look for the VM Icon, you'll never know. I've gotten some important messages that I've missed because of that.<br /><br />PROS:<br />The backlight on this phone is bright, really bright. I was reading a book and the power went out one night as I was finishing a chapter, at 2 am, this light was enough to read by.<br /><br />Even though the keys are exposed, I seldom call a random number (plus you can lock the keypad)<br /><br />Good battery life. Warning: Once the first bar drops, the rest of the bars go away quick, a 30 minute call will kill it. Battery life is acceptable.<br /><br />The ear bud that comes with the phone (cheap) works really well. People seem to be able to hear me fine, sometimes better than without the earbud.<br /><br />Good for teens, not for professionals.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=265 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=3953#review3953 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=265&r=3953#review3953 Fri, 16 Apr 2004 22:47:36 GMT <p><i>sHaNyM submitted this review of the Nokia 2260:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is nice because it has a bright blue light and has some exclusive features.
