Alltel today began offering the Nokia 6255i wireless phone featuring a camera and flash, video recorder, MP3 player and Bluetooth technology.

With the Nokia 6255i’s camera, Alltel customers can snap, send and receive color photos with voice and text messages utilizing the company’s industry leading flat-rate Axcess Messaging Pack. The service combines text, picture or video messaging in one pricing bundle that gives customers freedom to send any of the three messages at a flat rate. Axcess Messaging Packs start at $5.99 a month for 300 outgoing or incoming messages.

The Nokia 6255i is a sleek flip phone with a powerful set of personalization features and tools our customers want,

said Wade McGill, vice president of wireless product marketing.

The Bluetooth wireless headset cuts the traditional earpiece cord and makes using the phone all the more convenient.

Nokia 6255i Review

Here’s what About-Nokia have to say about the Nokia 6255i’s camera: The VGA camera is 0.3 megapixels only (640 x 480). There’s a standard, though pathetically weak, LED flash, and the built-in 8MB of memory will hold up to about 180 photos.

The Nokia 6255i’s VGA camera takes pictures in Standard, Portrait, Night, and Video modes, and you can choose from High, Normal, and Basic quality settings. There is a flash and a self-timer also. Image quality is ok for snapshots, but maybe not enough for pictures to be printed for the family album.
