Nokia 6560 review

Nokia 6560 review

by

This Nokia 6560 review is based on a technical analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it doesn't constitute an actual hands-on review. It outlines the pros and cons of the Nokia 6560. The strongest points are listed with a (+) sign while the weakest points have a (-) sign before them. This Nokia 6560 analysis is generated automatically based on our specifications for that phone and because manufacturers do not always detail technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing

(+) Weight and Size: The Nokia 6560 weighs only 3.11 ounces. This is relatively lighter than many ther phones and should make it comfortable to carry around

(+) Camera: It features a camera , which is certainly not necessary but may be useful and make your experience better.

(+) Phone Book:It can store 500 phone book entries

(+) Built-in Speakerphone:It features a built-in speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations where you need to use your hands while talking.

(+) Battery Performance:It has a maximum rated standby time of 264 hours and a talk time of 240 minutes, which is above average and should be sufficient for most users.

(+) Color Display:The color display's color mode is 4,096 colors and its resolution is unknown. A color display is useful when browsing the wireless web or viewing pictures and, of course, the larger it is, the better the experience and, the more colors, the better your pictures will look.

(-) Analog Roaming: It doesn't support analog roaming. Analog is the older North-American cellular technology, however North-American networks are increasingly converting to large digital-only networks, which makes analog a not-so-useful feature (check coverage maps for your area to discriminate on that aspect).

(-) Bluetooth:It is not Bluetooth-enabled. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or exchange data with your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance.

(-) Infrared:It doesn't feature an infrared port. Infrared is convenient, especially if you own a laptop (most laptops are infrared equipped), you can then use your computer to transfer contacts, ringtones or pictures (if the phone supports these functions) to the Nokia 6560.

(+) Text Messaging:It features a special way of typing text, either a full keyboard or some predictive text entry method such as T9 or iTAP. This will be useful if you need to send short messages: it's much faster.

(-) Voice Note:It doesn't have a voice note system. A voice note system is quite useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road.

(+) Free Custom Ringtones: It seems to support ringtone customization in a do-it-yourself manner, but we recommend double-checking. To help assess this phone's behavior with ringtones, check out the ringtone compatibility list
