Symbian vs Nokia Series 40

Which do you prefer and why?

Thanks guys...
__________________
Symbian of course
__________________
I'm looking for more a reason why though. I realize that Symbian is a more robust OS, allowing the user to use a number of applications. However, I also hear of problems resulting in crashes and delays...I'm just curious to know if the benefits outweigh the cons.

Thanks again for any input...

__________________
I prefer symbian phones...

yup you are right...a lot of applications for symbian cause crashes and bring problems...but I just always read through some professional forums and seach for solutions...so far I am happy playing with my 6600...

Series 40 phones is much stable compare to the symbian phone...however...symbian phone will be much more interesting if you are prefer to spend more time on your phone....

so it just depends on whether u wan a stable phone for normal usage??...or u wanna have a great challenge from the symbian phone...

__________________
Series 40 are solid and you can't change a lot... Software must be Java what is good, but not that good. Java can't access a lot of features like a symbian game/program can.
The menu is not changable what has his avantages that it's easier to use and you can work faster with it.
Series 40 are designed for small screen 128 x 128 and optimised for it.
Series 60 is symbian based, so you can change wall paper, a little bit the UI (add themes like you can do with windows). Use full program's, some are really good like Opera (webbrowser) RealOne (movie) Remote control (remote control by IR for TV, Radio etc)... and much more other standard features like Java (MIDP 2.0), CLDC 1.0, Wireless Messaging, Mobile Media, and Bluetooth; XHTML browsing over TCP/IP; MMS messaging with SMIL; and OMA DRM (forward-lock)...
Series 60 is also better because it's optimised for bigger screens 176 x 208 (more data on one screen)
__________________
Symbian any day. The apps are much better. Series 40 is restricted to 128x128 pixels. That isn't good.
__________________
But the series 40 is much smaller in size...much stable in the firmware...easier to use...
__________________
Not that much easier to use. And I don't mind big phones. The functionality is what I care about.
__________________
ya right...but my symbian 6600 is kinda very sensitive..a lot of 3rd party applications are unable to use in my 6600...causes lots of clashes....I dunno why...

hi friends m using nokia 3650 plz plz help me n tell me that how i can convert avi/mpeg to 3gp movies.or plz suggest me any kool and free software .................

QuickTime from Apple supports the 3GPP and 3GPP2 formats so could play the files. If you wanted to convert files to that format though you'd need the Pro update which costs a small sum since there are royalties on MPEG4. There are substantial educational discounts if you're a student too.

3200

Hi
i just wanted to now about its camera
and the screen
its the camera good
and screen
someone plese send me some pic taken by its camera
thaks
__________________
Well, the camera on the 3200 is the same one that is there on the 7250i. The resolution is CIF (352x288 pixels). The screen supports 4096 colors (128x128 pixels). If you ask me, a camera phone with a resolution less than VGA is just a fancy accessory. You will not get photos with good clarity, although they may look good on the screen.
But i must warn you. the 3200 has a very poor keypad. When i was trying to send an SMS, i faced a lot of problems. So, if you have big fingers like mine, i'd recommend you check out the phone first.

Lastly, you can visit the mobile-review.com review of the 3200 for some sample pics.
Hope this helps.

First of all...3200 camera is not good at all...photo captured is very blur...night mode is even a night mare...it is a CIF camera...at least u gotta have a VGA camera then the quality is only acceptable...

Second...4096 colour screen is under acceptable quality...but 3200 screen is a 128x128 STN screen...STN screen + 4096 colour...toooooooooo low for displaying photo...maybe some cartoon graphic will look a bit nicer...at least u gotta have a TFT screen....65000 colour is better...65000 colour is better....65000 colour TFT 176x208 is the best....

many many more disadvantages....many of my friends who own 3200 are regreting buying it...

What exactly makes 6600 a phone for a businessmen?
__________________
Phones don't get any cheaper than the 6600 here in The Netherlands.

I would choose the 6600, the 3660 is huge and really ugly compared to the 6600.

Well, the internal memory is more, the RAM is larger. The 3660 has enough of them for the ordinary user. The 6600 is meant for power users who are generally businessmen who use it as their computer, phone and PDA. They need more memory and stuff because of that.
__________________
i dun think businessman will go for 6600...it is not as powerful as u think in business...I found that most of the users of 6600 is youth...until nowadays...i still haven seen a businessman is holding a 6600 in his hand...

Come on...
Java needs more RAM, camera apps, games... Most of 3rd party apps have been created for 7650 and 3650 so those should not need more RAM.
I don't see any business application in 6600 besides calendar, but is pretty much the same. Oh yeah, presentations... again, no big difference compares to 3650.

What makes it a businessman toy is the price tag. But I think in this case price does not mean more power, but just indicates market position - competitors do not offer anything similar yet, so price could be anything.

7200 has the screen not much better than 6220 and much worse than 6600

i tried 7200 in nokia shop
and i found that the screen of 7200 was not as good as what i saw inn other websites...
i was curious to try it because
i would like to know the quality of the screen of 6230 which seemed to be the same one as that of 7200
but i am disappointed.....
6600 has much better screen than 7200...i think

it may because the brightness is not set properly...
anyone tried or owed the phone can give opinion???
__________________
It's true. The 6600 has a much better screen.
__________________
do you think the screen of 6230 would be better than that of 7200, or just the same???

from all the materials about 6230 in the net,
all people claims that even though 6230's mon is small
but it performs well...

but when i tried 7200...
i dun think so....
the image is blurred...
and 7200 does not have digital zoom...
how about 6230??
__________________
Not sure whether it is the same as the 7200....here is a pic of 6230 camera...

of course then quality of the pic will be improved after it has been taken...it is a VGA camera....

mp3 with 6600

I tryed to play some mp3 with 6600. The quality of the sound is not acceptable, it's not becouse mono. It's the speaker on the phone. I also had slight pauses with one of the programs i used. As a result, do not consider it as a feature which will never satisfy the listener (at least i was not pleased with sound quality).
__________________
why u use the speaker on the phone?...a handsfree earpiece will be better...
__________________
becouse i had none . Just consider this , decoding mp3 files really try hard the processor. Doing some other tasks background will leave you lesser processing power, and you will get interruptions in the playback. That's why i consider it as a + but not a feature. It's expressing software capabilities as the phone's. Phone has only the ability of multi tasking and a good processor. Software has the ability to playback music, and as a bad poiont i belive the software around is just not yet to be mentioned as very good, even good.
__________________
if u use a handsfree earpiece...the quality will be much better I think...although it is in mono...but at least much better than the loudspeaker...go get one...it is quite cheap...make sure there is a mp3 application in your phone...
__________________
I also wanted to ask the same question to all the Nokia 3650/3660/6600 users. Many of us consider to buy the 6600 because it has an MMC card slot so that one could load mp3's and use it as an mp3 player. But then I read a lot about how the sound quality on these phones was bad because they were mono. But, has anyone tried using the 6600 as an mp3 player? How is the sound quality?
Also, I saw that the Nokia Dual Headset (HDD1 or something) were stereo headsets compatible with these phones, so does one get stereo output from them?
All in all, do you think it is a good idea to buy these phones to use them as mp3 players or must one wait for the 6230 or 7610 which offer Stereo audio?
__________________
The 6600 is not that good for mp3s. When using the headset I got with my 8310, I think Im listening to double mono. I have the old Nokia 5510, and the quality of that is MUCH better than the 6600...I think that phone is stereo. Im not sure though, but it could be the app Im using to play the mp3s that is letting the 6600 down.

Another thing is, when you are listening to mp3s, you cant do much else. If you are using another app and a msg comes up, it cuts the mp3 music off and doesnt come back on (when using UltraMP3). You then have to go into the app, exit it, and go back in....very annoying.

The 6230, i guess, is worth waiting for if mp3s are the most important feature to you. Im using my 6600 for n-gage games and watching full movies....totally awesome....so I would recommend the 6600 anyday.

n-gage screen question

I recently had my n-gage from a local store. It's very good in general. I only have a few problems, one of whic is the vertical contrast lost on the screen. As can be seen on the image i have attached. Here i reduced the contrast in order that the effect could be seen easily. The color scheme also effect the problem's visibility. What i want to ask is that is this a standart problem (poor TFT quality?) or it's just the one i have? I'll accept it if it's normal for n-gage , but will change it if it's for this one only.
__________________
I can't see any problem on that screen...can u capture the whole screen??...then the problem will be seen clearer...

or...u can go back to the shop...ask the shopkeeper turn on another N-gage to compare with yours...then u will know isit a problem...
__________________
The change in the color is visible (I put an arrow to pinpoint the area) . Normally the color would be all the same . I belive posting the whole image would not make any difference, I just pulled out the most visible part. I'm planning on to go , or whait untill my friend get an other one and compare with it . As I do not have much time to go , want to make sure if this is normal before I do .

N-gage owner can help...I own a 6600...sorry...hehe

6600 screen vs 7200 screen

I found this in www.threegmobile.net

It shows that 7200 65k TFT(128x128) is much more brighter and provides much colourful that the 6600 screen(176x208)...

Is this real?....does this apply to the 6230 screen too???
__________________
i didnt know that the 7200 had ZOOM

nokia doesnt say that this phone has zooming capabilities
but from the picture it looks like it does
__________________
Sometimes it's not the resolution that matters,but it's the color quality and LCD quality that matters alot.
Also the SGH-E700's LCD although 65K in 128X160 res,can outbeat most other HI-END models in photo display capabilities.
Another is the Inno90,it's LCD is 262K TFT colors in 128X160 res,but can produce clearer and more vibrant images to the E700,yet both are with the same resolutions!
It's the design quality that matters alot
__________________
ya right...but...

6600 and 7200 has 65k TFT screen too...somehow 7200 resolution is much less than 6600...but the photo display is so much in different in brightness and clearity...

another point is the photo quality...I will post the different later...and u will find the big different...
__________________
photo taken by 7200...compare the photo talen by 6600 in the next post...
__________________
This is the photo taken by 6600...much blurer than the one taken by 7200...

may I know how to paste the photos in the reply post message...so that no need to attach files...and u can straight away see the photo in the post by no need to open it in new windows??
__________________
i feel that the 6600 picture is much better

anyways, did you buy the phone ??
how is the phone ??
did you like it ??
it is worth buy ??

I didn't own the phone...not yet release in Malaysia...haha...

I took those photos from www.threegmobile.net

the photos are good

i checked out the site
pretty good one

so i guess i am just gonna buy this phone
just waiting for the 6230 so that i can buy both together

Ah Tu!@ng Man,
If your photos are going to be uploaded and displayed in your PC,than your phone's software has to be good for picture quality.
__________________
ya I know...but what's the point u mention this??...of course I am searching for a good camera phone...that is why I go for 6600 currently...that is why i post this thread and compare the photo quality taken by different phones....
__________________
Okay,Okay,I know that,but you try to show me those pictures that has been uploaded into the PC to be displayed here,so that has got nothing to do with LCD screens on the 6600 and 7200!
It has got to do with your phone's software!
So I'm telling basically you this above
__________________
ohh...like that lah...but...screen is one point that I taking it seriously...just curious about 7200 screen is so much brighter and colourful than 6600 one...

another point is the camera lens...that 2 photos I post show the difference between 6600 and 7200 VGA camera...

since photo taken by 7200 is much better...I think lah...so mah let you all know this point loh...

of course I always hope the 6600 is the best lah...I own one mah...hahaha
__________________
O,I seeeee,
And if you take LCD displays seriously,make sure it's TFT type with 65K colors and above,and the res 128X128 and above,anything below this standard is not consider superior!
But the best thing it to view the displays live,not in the internets,because it's going to be deceiving especially you won't know what type of Digital cam is used for taking those photos
__________________
Not all the 65k TFT has the same quality....of course I wish to have a best one...

as u can see from the photo I posted...7200 65k TFT with 128x128 is much more better than 6600 65k TFT 176x208....

But...I think the 6600 screen in that photo is not set to the correct brightness...since my 6600 screen looks much much sharp and briliant compare the one in the photo....

any idea??
__________________
Could be also,unless the 128X128 res 65K TFT LCD in the 7200 is the improved or advance type that is being develope by Korea.
Anyway,you can't actually compare your real 6600 with the photo of LCD displays in your PC,because the lighting could be different,the exposure could be long or shot,and the data convertion could overall easily affect the photos!
Maybe the Nokia 7200 has a brighter backlight,because that also make dramatic differences
__________________
I don't think so.
__________________
Why you don't think so,what have you got to add?
__________________
What I mean is I don't think the backlight has anything to do with how sharp and clear the image is.
__________________
tulang man, i'll go for teh second picture (6600 was it?)... why?.. while the 7200 looks sharper.. that can be solved from the 6600's picture... but if you noticed in the 7200's picture, the colour is off and all... and TOO sharp.. like digitally enhanced to make it 'look' better only...
__________________


Left is the original 7200 picture while right is the edited 6600 picture. The colour and sharpness is just about digitally enhancing it only.. nothing to do with the optics..
__________________
u mean u prefer a blurer pic but not a sharper pic??
__________________
would you want a very sharp and 'fake' looking picture?.. or a nice and smoothed out picture?...

You know what i mean...

When it's too digitally enchanced... it'll look fake and ugly... i'm just trying to say that the 6600's image can look like the 7200's picture which shows that they're using the same optics but with different digital system...
__________________
the right picture is much better... colors are not mixed and black looks more black...
__________________
The right is a 6600's picture which was digitally enchanced by me =)..
__________________
It looks better than the other one.
__________________
what do u mean by....digitally enhanced by u?...I copy the photo from a website...it is created by u??
__________________
no it isn't...

i took THAT picture you copied from a website and 'enchance' it further.. compare my picture (the right one) with your 6600's picture...

the left one is the original 7200 picture while the right one is the enhanced 6600 picture
__________________
confused...haha...yup...yours look much better...how do u "enhanced" it??

anyway...I just wish to know how u paste your pics straight away on to the post...so I no need to browse and attach files...and u all no need to open the pics in new windows...straight away can see from the post like what u did...
__________________
the picture must be on a web site and you'll type (without the spaces) [ I M G ]http://blah blah blah[ / I M G ]

so it'll be something like {IMG}http://google.com/1.jpg{/IMG}

I used Corel PhotoPaint to just sharpen the image, change colour intensity, contras and remove noise and all those...
__________________
can u try to sharpen this photo and let me compare the different??
__________________


Left one is the original, right is edited.
__________________
Thanks man...wow...the one edited by u is really look much sharper than the originally taken by my 6600...

Where to get the software u use to enhanced it??
__________________
Just go to any computer shops around and you can pick it up.. I use Corel PhotoPaint which is a pograms in Corel Draw or something... more people are using Adobe Photoshop... similar...

What i did was just sharpen the image, and i slowly removed some of the 'noise' manually... took some time..

at least enhancing can make the further items in the photo look clearer...

7200 out for real..

Heya,

Some of you probably already know, but 7200 is now out for real, at least in Hong Kong and France..

Sure, I'm tempted. but with 6230 just around the corner, and other clamshell with much bigger screen (and resolution) I'll try to resist.

__________________
It is no point to wait for the price drop...cos the price is always dropping...never stop...so...just buy it when u wish to buy...of course is not the first day of release...maybe...after few weeks or a month...the price will be acceptable...

Is it possible to re-program a 3310?

Hello.

Im new to this but i wanted to ask if it's possible to get some sort of cabel, connect to the phone and edit/delete/backup the OS or what it's called on mobiles.

I have this old 3310 and i want to play a little with it.

it's possible to do things with it and it called flashing...
i'm going to give you some links to other forums who are more specialized on this matter...
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/
http://nokiafree.org/forums/

those 2 are quite good on this stuff so visit them; but don't forget this forum...
__________________
Ok, thanks!

Well to specify a little what i want is not to edit logos or pictures or some ringtones, nor unlock or something like that.

I want to get to the real core of the phone, and edit that.
Thanks for the quick answer btw.

First of all, im kinda causious, second i don't mind if my phone breaks, im not that serious about owning a cell phone =)

Anyway, i found some really useful stuff on that last forum, the Nokia Flash Reverse...bla bla forum, hehe, too bad though i can't register for downloading the software, i'll try to find something about that on the forums later..

don't forget you need special cables for flashing and some boxes... and those cost a lot (100Euro)...
but hey, if you wanna have some fun...

i remember that with the 8210 I change the menuicons, added new menu's and arranged them... for the rest you can't really mess up things more than that... or do a software update.
one last thing to say, one mistake and your phone will not boot up anymore. be aware

Thanks for the warning guys, i have already found a flash-cable set for around 50 ˆ but now when i have read through tons of texts and forum-topics it seems futile to install your own OS because apparently no one has a open-source GSM stack that you can use with your OS and as a result of that you can't call or send/recieve SMS's either so i'll think i'll skip it for now.

Nokia 6220........

its good phone
and pictures taken by this camera send me
i am getting for 99$
from ebay.com
shall i get
i am getting affraid
my money will go
help....................................
__________________
why still considering 6220?....6230 is around the corner....new smart phone 7610 is on the way...6600 price is dropping..........
__________________
indeed it's a very good price...
you've got 4.8 mb shared memory for saving data...

the 6230 is much better (got 3.5Mb memory + MMC card up to 256 even 500 Mb)
and more functions etc...
but for that price i would go for the 6220, you also can wait untill someone sells the 6230 on ebay but it ain't yet on sale so... estameted price is +/-500 Euro without contract
__________________
Wait for the 6230, get a 6600 or a K700.

Or the SE S700 if you can wait that long and afford the price.

Nokia 6600

Hi all , I feel that i have been ripped off ! I bought my n6600 with o2 online 200 not even a month ago . At the time i had to pay £149 for the handset , the sales lad said that it was well worth it and would not drop in price for a fair bit . Ive just checked o2 web site tonight and found the n6600 is down to £49.99 on online 200 . Do you think i should phone them to complain as i think £100 loss is a fair bit !!!

i used it once when i bought my 6100 it costed 479Euro, not even a month later the phone was only 399Euro. They pay me back...

but i think in your case you can't do a thing

Live pictures of the 7610





and some pictures take with it: (i thinks so)


link to the website;
Mobilmania.cz

Not bad quality actually.. heh.. =)...

Just needs flash... too dark...

I noticed that nokia's starting a new trend with the square edges on one side and the curved edge on the other... like in the 7600 (did i get it right?)
__________________
Not bad,the phone is small!
You can see the part that it's being compared to a card.
__________________
The photo resolution has increased compare to VGA...but...isn't it still look as blurry a photo taken by 6600??...I feel that lah....
__________________
I though Nokia learnt a lesson with the 3650. They keys are still weird.

It looks like floor tiles!

Utlang man..

I feel that lah.. how malaysian =P.. hehhe..

After looking at those live pics.. i gotta admit... that phone looks cheap.. the material and all....


Tulang man
resolution might be higher with a higer sensor, but with a bad lense... the picture will still be bad... no matter what, digital photography is still relying on optical technology =P.. .hehe..

you are right, pictures have a green shade? strange... is it due the lights on scene or the camera?
__________________
Just as I wanted it to be.. It's not that big.. It's actually small for a smartphone.. I think...!?

I like this phone...
__________________
I think...although is is said that has a built in MEGAPIXELS camera...but its lens quality is not as good as mentioned...those photos are as blurry as the photos taken by other Nokia smartphones...just it has increased in the resolution...no point...

Why Nokia doesn't give a better lens for the smartphones??...even a 7600 has a much better quality camera lens...CMOS VGA camera...

The black version 7610 is very ugly loh...I prefer the white version leh...
__________________
Because Nokia does not make cameras =P...
and for marketting purposes, they added a 'megapixel' phone to their product line =)...
__________________
I dun wan "megapixels"....a better quality lens is much better...

Nokia doesn't make camera...but Nokia can buy camera and put in the phone mah...hor??...buy a better quality camera lens lah...cannot meh??

my E700 takes better photos than that, at least almost =)

My 6600 is not bad...at least comparable with yours...haha!!

@Tu!@an_Man
no, not bad at all.

But you could expect more from a 1meg pix cam. Guess SE is strong in this field, or will be (there cams on the market right know is't that good). I think S700 will beat the competion if u just compare the cams.
__________________
Isn't it S700 has a 3.3 megapixels camera??...but the quality of the photo is still depends on the camera lens quality...maybe there will be a phone as 10 megapixels camera...but the photo taken might be blur too if the phone i using a bad quality camera lens...

This is just what i think...

The S700 has a 1.3 Mpix camera.. I think it's 1280 x 960.

Not 3.3 mpix..
__________________
how about the K700??...I remember one of the new phone from SE has a 3.3 megapixels camera...if I am not mistaken...
__________________
No, the k700 has 0.3 MP (VGA) and the S700 has 1.3 MP.
__________________
Yeah.. That.. But I'm sure S700.. 1.3Mpix..
__________________
This is the 7610's picture, shrinked to 640x480...

maybe they did improve their optics.. but heh.. can't really say much.. but i remember seeing pictures taken with one of SE's japanese phone, 1.3 mega pixels and was very clear...
__________________


This is part of SE's SO505i's 1.3 megapixel picture..

the original is



but has also been resized... still looking for a FULL picture...

the site can be seen here
http://k-tai.ascii24.com/k-tai/revie...4713-001.html?

but then, you won't understand japanese =)..

I'll just tell you what bablefish said...

Photographing sample 1 (a). The original picture of the 960×1280 dot resize was done in the 640×480.
this is the second picture.

Photographing sample 1 (b). The part of the original picture of the 960×1280 dot was trimmed

this is the first picture, which is the close up.
__________________
The pics look great. Clear and bright.
__________________
Look at pictures in this article: http://www.mobilmania.cz/Bleskovky/AR.asp?ARI=106831. The first one is resized, sharpened and retouched version of second one. It's taken by Nokia 7610 and it isn't so bad, I think.
__________________
the photo has the same quality as 6600..but its just bigger...no improve in qualty so whats the use of the 1 MP :S....with 1 MP camera they should have a decent lens....
__________________
Compare the full size of the 7610's picture to the full size of the SO505i and you can see the difference, not to mention the 640x480 version.

Another Megapixel shot from the SO505i

I think none of the Nokia symbian phone can do that...problems come from the quality of the camera lens...

Just to raise the topic again..
I just realized how stupid this phone design is...
Mind you it looks nice, but then... impratical...

the keypad is all same hight all over, and are so close to each other... not only that, the number 3 is so tiny... hmm =(.... well.. i don't know how well it works.. but from the picture.. looks hard for big thumbs .....
