Nokia 6290 black

The Nokia 6290 could be mistaken for an average Nokia flip phone. It is actually a very good 3G phone with a specification similar to most N-series phones, only costing less and presented in a more practical and easy-to-use design. The 6290 has an impressive main display - 2.2 inches with 16 million colours, which is great for making and receiving video calls. It also has a 2 megapixel camera with flash and video record. This is located on the front of the phone, where you'll also find a smaller colour display and some keys for accessing basic features without opening the phone. Although the 6290 is quite chunky (20.8mm thick), the rounded edges give it nice feel.

How about features? As well as having two cameras and two displays the Nokia 6290 includes 3G, Bluetooth, infrared, a stereo FM radio, web browser, email, instant messaging, media player, 50MB of memory and just about everything else you'd expect to find on a Nokia. It runs on the Symbian OS 9.2 which allows additional software to be installed on the device and there's a microSD card slot for adding up to 2GB of extra memory.

The Nokia 6290 is an underrated mobile phone and shouldn't be overlooked.
