Nokia 2690 Manual

Download the Nokia 2690 Manual here. The Nokia 2690 was released in March 2010 and when I look at it I think Nokia got the idea for the design of the Nokia 808 PureView phone from this design a year or so before. This phone has only 2G network access being GSM 850, 900, 1800 and also 1900. The phone came out with a TFT screen with 65k colours on a 128 pixel x 160 pixel screen. It also only plays MP3 ringtones and with vibration alert. Its a basic US$50 phone which is still good in the secondhand market.

Nokia 2690 Manual

The phone hold 2,000 telephone numbers which is twice as large as the Nokia Asha 202 and the Nokia Asha 203 mobile phones which are also very basic in their abilities and features. The phone came with a Class 10 GPRS (48kbps) and Class Nokia 2690 mobile phone10 EDGE (236.8kbps) connection abilities and also comes with Bluetooth.

The camera is a standard VGA camera with 640×480 pixels. Its a really horrible camera much like other VGA camera and the pictures are very grainy in low light. The video is QCIF at 15fps which means you cannot move the camera around fast or it simply becomes blur video. It has WAP, MMS and also SMS and is a good basic phone if you do not need multimedia much.

The network connections are fast enough even by today’s standards, its got a standby time of 2 weeks and a talk time of 4 hours. Its a good basic mobile phone — just the camera is horrible. See the user manual below for more information and the Nokia Suite to connect your phone to your computer. See the Nokia 2690 Manual below.

 

Using Your Phone Without a SIM Card Even without a SIM card, you can still use some features of your phone like the organizer functions and games. However, some options will be grayed out in the menus and can’t be used. Applications Running in the Background Remember, if you leave apps running in the background, it will use more battery power and your battery will drain faster.

 

Shared Memory

Features like multimedia messaging (MMS), email, and instant messaging all share the same memory. If you use one or more of these features, it might reduce the memory available for other features. If your device says the memory is full, you’ll need to delete some stuff from the shared memory.

 

Access Codes Your device has a security code to protect it from unauthorized use. The default code is 12345. You can change this code and set your device to ask for it. Keep this code secret and store it separately from your device. If you forget the code and your device is locked, you’ll need to get it serviced. There are also PINs for accessing information in your SIM card’s security module and for digital signatures. There’s a password for using the call barring service. You can manage how your device uses these codes and security settings in the Menu > Settings > Security.

 

Dialing Shortcuts

You can assign a phone number to one of the number keys, 2 to 9. Go to Menu > Contacts > Speed dials, scroll to a number, and select Assign. Enter the phone number or select Search and a saved contact. To turn on speed dialing, go to Menu > Settings > Call > Speed dialing > On. To make a call using speed dialing, press and hold the desired number key in standby mode. Read also the full Nokia 2690 Manual below.

 

Predictive Text Input

Predictive text input uses a built-in dictionary, and you can add new words to it. To write a word, press each key from 2 to 9 only once for each letter. To confirm a word, scroll right or add a space. If the word isn’t correct, press * repeatedly and select the word from the list. If a ? appears after the word, it means the word isn’t in the dictionary. To add the word to the dictionary, select Spell, enter the word using traditional text input, and select Save. To write compound words, enter the first part of the word, scroll right to confirm it, write the last part of the word, and confirm the word. Then start writing the next word.

Text Messages

Your device can send text messages that are longer than the limit for a single message. Longer messages are sent as two or more messages, and your service provider may charge you accordingly. Characters with accents or other marks, or some language options, take up more space and limit the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.

The total number of characters left and the number of messages needed for sending are displayed. To send messages, the correct message center number must be stored in your device. This number is usually set by default through your SIM card.
