Further strengthening its portfolio of 3G devices, Nokia today unveiled the new Nokia 6288, a 3G slide phone that adds high-quality video playing capabilities to its mix of features. With real-time video sharing and video ringtones, the Nokia 6288 is designed to take full advantage of the benefits of 3G technology. The Nokia 6288 is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2006 with an estimated retail price of 325 EUR before subsidies or taxes.

The compact slide phone device is bundled with a 512 MB memory card making it ideal for watching favorite video clips on its bright QVGA, 262,144 color display (320x240 pixels). Outfitted with a 2-megapixel and a VGA camera, the Nokia 6288 makes it easy to share videos and participate in two-way video calls.

Videos taken with the Nokia 6288 can be edited then sent via MMS and email, while Bluetooth technology lets you print pictures directly to any compatible picture printer.

I just bought the 6234 and it crashes at least once every couple of days. Wouldnt touch another one again sorry.
As I understand it, this is a Vodafone exclusive (but similar to the 6233).

Have you spoken to anyone at Vodafone or Nokia about the problem?
looks nice, though I wonder about the little joystick on Nokias. I used to hate the stick on Sony phones, and then went back to Nokias with the familiar rocker pad. This looks like a rocker pad with a select button in the centre? If it's not too pricey (<&#163;200) I'd definitely give this phone a shot.
And video ringtones? You're frikking kidding me - that's ridiculous.
