Nokia 6788 review
Network and connections
Nokia is launching its first TD-SCDMA device on the market, dedicated to the Chinese public. This technology, developed by China Academy Telecommunication Technology, is the premise for the spread of 3G in China. This is why Nokia is also pushing in this direction, offering a Triband network receiver, capable of guaranteeing perfect coverage in any condition. Thanks to the integrated modem with GPRS/EDGE technology, it is possible to browse the Internet at good speeds, easily opening Web pages through the dedicated HTML browser. Of course, the handy Bluetooth for exchanging data with other devices is not missing. Furthermore, you can sync the phone directly to your home PC, via USB cable.

The style remains simple and clean, with softened lines on the edges to offer greater comfort in grip. The dimensions are compact, with 18.9 mm of thickness for 158 grams of weight. Looking closer, you discover a keyboard hidden inside, accessible through the vertical Slider movement. The front instead houses the display, a 2.8-inch QVGA TFT, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors. Just below is a directional pad, essential for managing every content, together with the function keys.
