The Nokia 6800 is the perfect phone for anyone who wants to be able to quickly and easily send both text and email messages. It may look like a standard phone, but its innovative design allows users to flip it open in order to access a keyboard. Truly a must have for anyone wishing to be in contact with friends, family, and co-workers.

The  Nokia 6800 is designed as a messaging device. It doesn't use the standard ABC or T-9 input. Instead, users need only to flip the  Nokia 6800 open to find a keyboard that is fully functional and easy to use. The  Nokia 6800  supports SMS text messages, as well as MMS multimedia messages and email. This basically means that users can send any type of message from this phone. Mobile phone users have probably noticed that SMS messaging is becoming more and more common in cell phone applications. Nokia is making sure to stay abreast with the latest, and most wanted technology when it comes to sending and receiving messages via a mobile phone, which is good news to users. What makes it even more convenient is that messages can be sent without having to open the phone, although the keyboard does make it easier. When sending messages, the gallery allows users to see and preview all saved MMS messages, in addition to ring tones and backgrounds. Users can easily speak to whomever they so choose on the phone, and then, in an instant, flip the phone open, reveal the keyboard, and send a message with no problems.

The  Nokia 6800  does offer a radio, which is a great feature offered on many of today's phones. But, there is a little bit of a flaw in the radio's design. It seems that, in order to listen to the radio feature, users must plug a headset directly into the phone. Once plugged in, the user can clearly listen to the music that he or she so chooses. Users can opt to choose the loudspeaker function once the headset has been plugged in. Choosing this function will cause the radio to play through the phone's speakers. What is really odd is that the radio will no longer play through the phone's speakers once the headset has been unplugged. Although this may seem like quite an odd feature that users probably won't find with many other phones, there is a good thing about the radio. It will stop playing when a call comes through to the phone.

Nokia's 6800 does come with several other options that users will enjoy. The XHTML browser is a wonderful option. It will let users connect to just about any full featured website, and even those that may not properly load on a desktop personal computer. There are also java applications pre-loaded into the device. If a user finds that he or she needs an application not previously installed in the phone, many are able to be downloaded to the 6800 through a variety of websites. Games also come pre-installed on the  Nokia 6800 , such as Bounce and Triple Pop. Both play well and are easy to see on the phone's superb color screen.
