Hi-Mobile.net was very generous to send us over the second most high-end Nokia S40-based phone (after the 7390) for a review, the 6288. This model is an updated version over its similarly-looking 6280, and it's considered a high-end feature phone. Read more for our findings and plenty of screenshots.

"feature phone" isn't a term I've heard used over here in the UK. We seem to get "mobile phones" and "pda phones" pretty much. You buy what you can afford.
It sounds a bit like a buzzword. Like VCR (we say "Video"), "RV" (we say "car" or "4x4"), "SUV" (we say "car", "4x4" or "School run car" :-P ), realtor (?sp?), i.e. "house seller" (we say "estate agent")
Why does the US have to make everything so complex and categorised??

Just because there is (always) something better coming down the road, doesn't make something junk.
Yes, it doesn't have as many features as the upcoming N95. Apple IIs don't have as many features as Apple Mac Pros either. When Apple IIs came out, however, they were most certainly feature products, in fact feature FILLED products!
So, while this phone may not be as fancy as the N95, it is still most certainly a feature phone, as Eugenia mentioned - it does more than make a call.
Come on, don't be so picky! 
It looks like a very nice phone, on another note. It would make a good weekend-beater type phone I think, without giving up too much of the functionality of my S60 phone. Good review!

Not really feature packed as the coming N95.
