NOKIA 6600 to buy or not to buy?????

Hey everyone. I am currently in Singapore for job reasons, and searching the many shops I noticed that the N6600 is out for a price of 830 Singapore dollars (415 EUR). My first intention was to wait for the Samsung E710 ( because a need a tri band phone), the E700 here costs around 880 Singapore dollars even if you can't find him in most of the shops. The price of the N6600 is smiling to me, but I red all the "pro" and "against" reviews about this phone and I realyy dont"t know what to do. I would appreciate everybody who has a phone to write me the reasons why to buy it, or on the other hand the reasons why not to buy it and wait for the Samsung E710 (at least 2 to 3 months). I know that the price for N6600 in europe is more then 500 EUR, and I am staying in Singapore till the end of the month, so if I buy it here I'll save some money, but I don't want to buy a bad phone . On the other end the Siemens SX1 is still not out here, I am not sure for Europe. Thanks in advance! __________________ yeah, pls share your BAD points/reviews on 6600... __________________ Not to buy... __________________ Do not buy Nokia 6600. It's a waste of money. For such a high price, they've taken off the stopwatch,countdown timer, no mp3 player, no fm radio, it's hard to connect to anything at all. There are better mobiles out there with all the features at lower cost. Shop around but forget about the Nokia 6600! __________________ Quote: Originally posted by emc Do not buy Nokia 6600.

I thought we can download the mp3 player and then run off the mmc card or something __________________ With the price of Nokia 6600, they should have included a built-in Mp3 player, Fm radio, stopwatch, countdown timer, auto keylock and auto shutdown that most other mobile of other brand has with lower price range. Nokia just wants people to spend money. That's all. It's business tactics. __________________ If only Siemens would improve the screen sharpness and resolution of their moblie, they are way better than Nokia in terms of features and ease of use. It's also easy to connect to wap and internet with Siemens than with Nokia. I'll be going back to Siemens brand early next year. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by emc With the price of Nokia 6600, they should have included a built-in Mp3 player, Fm radio, stopwatch, countdown timer, auto keylock and auto shutdown that most other mobile of other brand has with lower price range.

Still considering whether or not to trade in my 7650 for this phone. I still gotta top up about 500 singapore dollars... __________________ The price of 6600 is reducing... __________________ in singapore, i found one of the cheapest price of 6600 is S$768 __________________ Quote: Originally posted by oTaRu in singapore, i found one of the cheapest price of 6600 is S$768 Without line or with line? Where? __________________ for this price it should be without line. with line it'll cost about 588 SGD. __________________ The 6230 looks to have similar (or more) features than the 6600 anyways...and the 6600 looks...well... strange, IMO. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Jackle for this price it should be without line. with line it'll cost about 588 SGD. So far I haven't seen the price of 6600 in 500+ region even with line. Guess the price will drop soon enough... __________________ Quote: Originally posted by pfizer Without line or with line?

I still stand by my wanting-ness of the 6230. __________________ Simple if you liked the 7650 but though it was two big buy the 6600 caws it's the same phone with video clips, video downloads and a 65k screen If you don't mind the size of the 7650 just but it. 180quid cheaper and it's the same phone,bar one on to minor tweeks and the 65k screen aint that special.
