Nokia 6260
The Nokia 6260 is the first clamshell smartphone from Nokia. It uses the Series 60 user-interface and the Symbian operating system.

The Nokia 6260 was specified to play MP3s, although the quality is poor (mono sound and no bass). This is not true of the radio quality as this uses a different chip to process the audio.
The processor found in the Nokia 6260 is capable of handling advanced software such as movie players and PC games of recent history such as Doom.
The phone features industry-standard Bluetooth and IrDA connectivity, along with Nokia's proprietary 'Pop-port' for USB and audio connections. The camera is only VGA resolution (640 x 480) but has reasonably good colour reproduction. The memory card slot can accept an RS-MMC card.

The video recorder comes by default with QCIF (176 x 144) capability and can record as much video as can be stored on the micro SD card (up to 2 GB). The default h.263 codec format uses approx 1 MB to 1 1/2 MB of memory for each minute of recorded video. The format can be switched to a better MPEG-4 by using service centre software to adjust the internal settings.
