Menu, basic functions
The 128 x 160 pixels large display is of course no world champion. It’s highly important for my mother to see the letters clearly, so I have shown her that you can set font size in the phonebook, at messaging and in the browser (good question: what is a browser?). No font resizing available in the menus though and since the labels above the two function keys are written with slimmer letters I have immediately received the second complaint.
The menu with nine icons is transparent and easy to use. There is no active standby here, but instead we can see the icons of the functions assigned to the navigation keys, if we want to. The colors can be changed with themes, but we shouldn’t expect wonders on such a screen.
The phonebook is simple and the large font is really large. We can attach some basic info to all names (more phone numbers, e-mail address, image, ringtone), searching is easy. Handling messages is no big deal either, only the uniform message editor of the Series40 platform might be a bit annoying at such a resolution, as half of the screen is taken up by the addressees’ name and below that we can only see the line of text we’re currently typing, as the designers have crammed some quick-access icons for the multimedia contents below this, so the screen is really overcrowded. There is an email client too (we shouldn’t want to use attachments), the size limit for MMS is 300 KB. If we attach some multimedia content then poor 2680 starts sweating really hard and text entry slows down as well. Let’s see a short video of the features, by the end I got a bit allergic to the phone, you can see (hear) this in the mini-movie…
So until now everything’s fine basically, the small Nokia does its job, but here comes the moment when we want to make calls and this is where all of our thoughts get swept away. 2680 is on one hand a bit deformed and it has an incredibly annoying bug: for reasons unknown, after a call is established we can’t hear anything for 2-3 seconds, but the other party hears everything we say. This makes such greetings happen that I, the caller, hear that the connection is established and start saying what I want, but I can’t hear anything. I say something fancy when I recognize that I have managed to include this in the conversation, which is not really good when for example we’re arranging some official business via phone.
