    I agree with EVERYONE here. I got the phone for a number of reasons including the "new" ability to access email and the 3G network we have here in australia. I'm a pilot...the phone sits in the cockpit...IT LITERALLY does not move. Yet my screen has gone black, took ages to start, and now all I did was put the tiniest amount of pressure on the screen and it cracked. If you are looking for a new phone Steer well clear of the 6288...and any phones based of it....

        Iv recently had a 6288 on a 3g contract when the screen developed a v shaped crack that braches out into what resembles a tree, im am sooo annoyed with nokia and 3g who claim i dropped the phone with is a completly false accusation, if anyone else has had this problem please write to nokia and voice you concern and disapointment so they will accept a manufactrers fault

          If anyone is thinking about buying the Nokia 6288, id personally say think again, there good phones except the quality sucks big time. All you have to do is tap the screen to break the damn thing. Mine also has messed up big time and just walking down the road in Cheltenham, my phone just randomly broke. They suck hard!
          Peace

                  6288 is a waste of money. The battery is useless. The screen had cracked and Carphone Warehouse wanted £45 to replace it. I soon found thst to be a total rip off - I looked on ebay and found a new screen for £1.49!!! the old screen literally peeled off and the new one stuck on perfectly. It took less than a minute!! You can't tell the difference. I just don't understand how these companies can get away with it

                        If the phones still working (6288) and you can like use it but the screen is blank and you cant see what your doing.. if you take it to a phone shop tell them.. they should say its the ribbon inside and they will give you a new ribbon for free. well i got mine for free anyway.. But can anyone help me my 6288 insists on turning off randomly, and sometimes i cant turn it on for a while.. and when i go to text it just restarts or turns off so does anyone know the problem??

                                    Darn thing completely blacked out now. It just went blank, there is still sound and stuff but no way of viewing the screen at all.

                                      hi Rajiv, the front camera is for video calling only. Not sure if that is what you meant though.

                                      I am having a major problem with my nokia6288. For some reason it doesn't recognise out the sim card for no apparent reason but 'clears' up once you hit ok , other times it goes blank for a few seconds and now the up key is causing the screen to go completely crazy (discolouration, wavy lines etc.).

                                      Anyone else have this problem?
