    You can give this a miss

    Build quality, display quality, decent keypad, audio quality

    Bulky design, touchscreen functionality limited to text input, massive stylus, no 3G, poor web browser, poor camera

Now and then Nokia launches a quirky phone that is different from the ones you usually see from the manufacturer. Whenever you look at these phones you wonder what was the need for Nokia to make this phone and what were they really thinking when they decided to bring it out. One such phone is the Nokia 6208 Classic.



The highlight of this phone is the touchscreen, one that can only be used for text entry via handwriting recognition or on screen keypad, and cannot be used for any other function. And to help you achieve this, the phone comes with a massive stylus attached to the back like a weapon. We take a look at this bundle of weirdness and find out whether it is worth your attention.

u are late in reviewing this item. my bro is using this handset, its a curse in the name of touchscreens. every seller is calling this a touchscreen. this is a last try made by nokia to just give some last breath to dying Series 40 equipped handsets. however it posess some outta this world looks, which makes it a bit attractive in looks. and nothing special in operating and other segments. and touchscreen is really useless, you can type really faster than using the touch feature.

I think Nokia is trying to cater to the ancient and ethnic Indian sentiment. It has attached a feather to the back of the phone and called it "a writing instrument". Are the user manuals printed on dried palm leaves?

Guess its time for Nokia to exit the market! If this is the trend they are switching too, guess they will be out of business REALLY SOON!
