TheNokia 6280 Series, is a series of slider type phones first released in May 2005.

TheNokia 6280 is a 3Gmobile phone fromNokia. Announced in June 2005.^[1] It is the 3G sister product to the 2GNokia 6270. It features twocameras, a rear twomegapixel camera with an 8×digital zoom andflash, and a front-mounted VGA camera for video calling only. It also has expandable memory viaminiSD memory cards. The 6280 uses the NokiaSeries 40 mobile platform and can be network locked using the base band 5 locking mechanism.[1] It is available in four colours: Black, Plum, Burnt Orange and Silver.

The phone is slightly smaller than its 2G relative, at 100 × 46 × 21 mm in size and 115 g in weight.

The 6280 can play backMPEG 4 ".mp4" video files, such as those designed to be played on aniPod, provided they have not been encrypted underDRM.AVI files can be transcoded using software on the PC. During video playback, the audio track tends to stop after about 20 minutes. To get around this problem it is possible to split mp4 files into several pieces, but in software version 6.x or later the problem does not occur. The default format used by the phone for video encoding is ".3GP", which QuickTime will decode. This is the format used by the phone when video is selected from the camera option.

There are many free programs that can convert the video files from and to the phone, such asFFmpeg orNokia PC Suite's Multimedia PlayerArchived 2008-06-20 at theWayback Machine.

Manyfirmware updates have been released for the Nokia 6280 that fix many of the issues related to the original firmware. The original firmware has been known to drop out and crash without warning. There is also an issue related to the silent profile on the phone. The new firmware has fixed some of these issues as well as adding more completeID3 functionality for the music player and stereo bluetooth capability. The newer firmware versions are similar to those of the Nokia 6288.Although the options to update the phone over the airOTA or by data cable are available in the phone, the phone can not be updated by either of these options. This is because of v3 firmware models, when using the PC software update (when the 6280 was listed) ended up being 'bricked' due to certain coding not being written into the phone. However, a later version of the phone is technically capable of it, however, the 6280 has been removed from the software update program.Software updates can be completed by taking the phone to a licensed Nokia repair centre (such as Carphone Warehouse in the UK). These can be done for free under warranty (even if the phone isn't faulty), but can be done out-of-warranty at a cost. The latest firmware version available from Carphone Warehouse UK is 6.43, however, higher versions may exist from Nokia directly.
