Part It’s been some time now that the Nokia The 6270 has been on the market for some time now, and it’s selling pretty well. It’s quite stylish, has a 2mp camera, features a large display and great 3D stereo sound; along with the good connectivity options, that might make it quite appealing.
But it’s a bit of beast – thick and heavy for a non-3G non-smartphone slider, especially when set against the 6280.

• Other phones that offer equal functionality with far better design.
