Bad for Nokia! first the N-gage games and now the exploding batterys. I have allways sad Nokia is bad quallity and now my words becomes true! Nice for you if you like the phones they produce. But for me? No thanks!

The worse thing with this is Nokia's denial of the fact that the original battery actually has the same problem
as the no name batteries but finally for a few days ago, they confessed. So hopefully we will see some actions now.

Since the last update, Belgian consumer group backs down and agrees to new tests.

Consumer group Test-Aankoop has acknowledged that their recent investigation into exploding Nokia batteries produced 'invalid' results as the test samples may have been counterfeit.

Test-Aankoop found that certain models of Nokia batteries did not include short-circuit protections, a claim refuted by Nokia. The consumer group has accepted in a press release that a problem with piracy exists and may have biased the test results..

Test-Aankoop have now agreed to a new independent test of original Nokia batteries to avoid contamination by third-party samples.

Nokia is planning to display examples of counterfeit batteries on its web site, with the intention of helping consumers to avoid buying dodgy goods. This is to join an 'aggressive' program of anti-counterfeit measures.

Nice marketing from Nokia.
"Don't buy third part batteries because they are very unstable with our handsets"

That is really low made by Nokia if they are going to put up some images of exploding Nokias just to prevent users to not save few dollars or EUROS for buying third parties battieries.

New study by Test-Aankoop confirms safety of Nokia batteries
November 18, 2003




Yesterday, Test-Aankoop, a Belgian consumer organization, performed new tests on mobile phone battery safety, using only original Nokia batteries in the testing. The test results clearly proved all Nokia original batteries to be fully protected against shortcircuiting and safe for consumer use. On November 7, Test-Aankoop released a report that inadvertently included non-original, counterfeit batteries in the test sample.

"We believe Test-Aankoop's new test results of original Nokia batteries erase any doubts as to the safety of Nokia products, including original Nokia batteries", says Janne Jormalainen, Vice President, Mobile Enhancements Business Unit, Nokia Mobile Phones. "The recent media attention to this industry wide problem has put a much-needed spotlight on the potential dangers of non-original batteries - and the industry's ongoing battle to rid the market of inferior, potentially unsafe products."

On Thursday, November 13, Nokia announced aggressive measures against the manufacturers and distributors of counterfeit products. Plans for regional anti-counterfeit measures are in place and more information will be given as soon as the programs have been officially announced.

As non-original batteries may present a safety risk to the user, Nokia recommends that consumers only purchase and use original Nokia batteries. Measures that ensure this include: using only original battery included in the Nokia phone sales package, buying new batteries only from authorized Nokia dealers, avoiding purchase of batteries without proper sales packaging and avoiding low priced batteries. One way that consumers can identify non-original batteries is if the following text iswritten on the battery:
- Replacement battery for...
- NOK (with model number)
- NK (with model number)
- "For use with..."
- "Compatible with..."
- "For Nokia..."

As it might be difficult for consumers to identify counterfeit batteries, retailers are in a key position to minimize the availability of counterfeit batteries to consumers. Therefore Nokia continues to encourage all retailers to ensure they only offer safe and high quality batteries to consumers and to use only official channels when purchasing Nokia batteries. Furthermore, Nokia provides material and consultation to help retailers identify low quality and counterfit batteries.

Additionally, Nokia continues to offer its full cooperation to authorities in taking legal measures available against companies or individuals that sell and distribute counterfeit products or non-original mobile phone enhancements compatible to Nokia products that do not adhere to the stringent safety and quality measures. Already tens of thousands of counterfeit batteries have been seized in recent raids in Holland, the United Kingdom, and other countries in the EU.

As a result of these raids, authorities gained valuable leads on a network of counterfeit manufacturers and distributors, enabling authorities to begin immediate actions against those involved.

Nokia 6600 PIM Sync

All,

I keep my contacts, todo, calendar etc on my iPAQ 3970 (i.e. with BT). How would I sync all these with my 6600 to put them on there?

Regards,
Dave

You could send each item via Ir or BT but this would take ages.

Or

Sync the Ipaq with outlook the sync the 6600 with the same outlook. This would bring all the info from one to the other.

ringtone sending

Can anyone tell me if I can send a ringtone from my 6100 to my 7250i?
How do I do it? I have a data cable if that helps
__________________
the easy way i think is use mobimb or Oxygen phone manager to do it. Connect phone to computer and upload the ringtone to harddrive and than connect other phone and download that ringtone into the phone.
Don't know if Nokia pc suite can do it.
__________________
That sounds like a winner. I´m still stuggling with the data cable and PCSuite though. I also tried sending it on MMS, but it said that the tone was "copyright protected".

What are the programs you mentioned and where can I download them?

You can also upload a *.mid file to the first phone, then send that file (which will be the the gallery > tones) via MMS to the other phone. This gets round the copyright issues.

I don't mind to its model numbering, but I just can't stand with its completely plastic outlook...
I know almost all Nokia's phones have plastic covers, but this one is definately the worst from all...
My godness, seemed it is deliberately reveals the plastic material... I believe it is meant for youth range in mid class, but such as appearance is an insult of youth taste... I'm not talking about its design cause I find it quite attractive, but I really look down of its color combination... Don't you think it'll be nicer if the color patern take N3100 example, or a solid paint to cover the plastic material such as on N7250 for example...

i much prefer 'plasticky' looking fones as most ppl refer 2 here...this muct be y i like nokia so much,this is a very good looking fone,it reminds me very much of the 5210 the first water,shock and dust proof fone nokia bought out(if u dont count the 6250).the 5210 was a very good fone and i still use it occasionally.the 5100 was just very ugly and the buttons very hard 2 push but now this 5140 looks very very nice...
just my opinion i guess

Yes, but this phone is marketed as a phone for 'active' people.

Surely it'd be of help to 'active' people if they could use BT headsets, so they don't have wires everywhere.

The good thing about having plastic cover like Nokia's phones is it always can be rejuvenated, the phone physical always look new... But the most annoying thing is its creaking sound, very unpleasant to hear...
When I bought my N7250 for the first time, the cover feels good and doesn't make a creaking sound... Then after I replaced the SIM Card of the phone for a couple of times, the cover became a bit loosen and started to annoyed me...

Don't ask me. I was just answering the question about the BT headset issue.

But, I don't see the adapter as a problem if I'm jogging or cycling. Active doesn't have to mean rough in a sense of using the phone as baseball bat or as a ball.

World's first push-to-talk GSM phone NOKIA 5140

Action, not just words: Nokia introduces push-to-talk for the active lifestyle
November 12, 2003

World's first push-to-talk GSM phone features built-in compass, Fitness Coach application and VGA camera


NEW YORK - Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today unveiled the world's first GSM push-to-talk handset, the sports-inspired Nokia 5140 phone. Along with its ability to quickly connect users at the push of a button, the Nokia 5140 phone also includes a number of unique features designed for the active-minded consumer such as a digital compass, Fitness Coach application and a built-in VGA camera. The GSM/GPRS/EDGE Nokia 5140 phone will be available in a GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz version primarily for the Europe/Asia market and in a GSM 850/1900/1800 MHz version primarily for the Americas market. Both versions are expected to be available during the 2nd quarter of 2004.

With just the push of a button, Nokia 5140 phone owners can connect to friends and family by using the push-to-talk feature for quick voice communications, or to access the built in VGA camera to communicate visually. The push-to-talk feature can be used to quickly connect the user to one person, or to a group of people, simply by using the convenient side-mounted key.

While the Nokia 5140 phone is the first Nokia GSM handset to feature push-to-talk capability, it marks the first step as push-to-talk becomes an increasingly common function. During 2004, Nokia will introduce a full range of push-to-talk capable GSM phones, including Symbian OS based smartphones. From 2005 onwards push-to-talk will become available for all Nokia GPRS/WCDMA phones. This "walkie-talkie" style push-to-talk feature of the Nokia 5140 phone is a half-duplex voice over IP (VoIP) solution using the existing GPRS and EDGE data networks that are part of current GSM systems. This method results in performance that on average is comparable to that of existing dedicated push-to-talk cellular networks.

"Nokia continues to innovate new products that have a strong appeal to well-defined markets. The Nokia 5140 phone, with its complement of active features is a perfect fit for athletic and outdoors enthusiasts - as well as for those who aspire to that lifestyle," said Paul Chellgren, senior vice president of product management and business development for Nokia. "The Nokia 5140 phone is innovative not only because of its range of active features, but it also marks the introduction of the world's first GSM push-to-talk handset. By introducing push-to-talk to GSM, Nokia is bringing a whole new way to communicate to the world's leading wireless technology."

The Nokia 5140 phone features a durable dust, bump and splash-resistant housing that allows it to keep up with demanding users, but its active nature is more than just skin deep. To keep users oriented on the trail, an integrated digital compass displays the direction both graphically and numerically. After dark, a built-in flashlight helps to guide the way. For the fitness enthusiast, a new Fitness Coach feature uses training regimens based on professionally recommended training principles.

Additional functionality of interest to the fitness minded is an interval timer and stopwatch for keeping track of workout routines and an integrated FM radio to help make that time go by even faster. An optional Active Headset enhancement is available to provide easier wearability while on the move, and for increased resistance to bumps and splashes. The Active Headset features one button to answer and end calls and another that can be used to activate the push-to-talk capability of the Nokia 5140 phone.

Along with its unique lifestyle features, the Nokia 5140 phone also has a generous complement of the latest mobile features. Multimedia messaging capability allows for the sending and receiving of images, sounds and text. The Nokia 5140 phone also supports downloadable polyphonic ring tones, custom wallpapers and Java(TM) applications to customize the handset. For additional personalization, optional Xpress-on(TM) shells are available in three fashionable color combination schemes.

Nokia 3300 questions

Just got my nokia 3300 and am very happy with it but have a few questions

As there is no pc suite out for it as yet (any 1 know if one is in the pipline?)

how would i download games ringtones etc etc from these cds u can buy?

doing via wap is too expensive.

cheers

well first of all u need a data cable,do u have one of those???
__________________
I have the cable that links my pc to my phone when using the audio software - but on the audio software only mp3 or aac files can be tranfered

cheers for reply
__________________
u will probly have 2 wait until pc suite comes out for the 3300 or u could ring up and order games etc but that would be very expensive and i wouldnt recommend it
__________________
If you are a Windows XP user, windows will automaticly recognise the 3300 as an external disk (because of the MMC inside). You won't have access to the phone root itself but to the MMC card. Any way this is enough for installing games, music and other aplications. I have a 3300 myself and I never use the programs that came with it for music transfer. If you need anything else e mail me David@quintadosagros.com

Hi guys,

I been using Nokia 3310 for 2 years, all this long i wanted to buy phones which can play good music, since mono and poly came out, i thought that maybe one day mp3 phone will be produce. Now most of the phone can play mp3. i quite interested in 3300 rather than N-gage, i just like the phone because it can play mp3. that is all, and i'm not quite interested in those cam. phone. so, anyone recommend me to buy 3300 ? or i should not buy it?
__________________
if u want a fone that is mainly a MP3 3300 is a good choice,the only bad thing about it is the size and design if u like that than i would definatly recommend it...
__________________
The size isn't so big, I think. It's a bit hard to hold it against your head when you want to talk beacuse it's rounded and it slips away (it happens to me). One of the best things is that it's mms compatible with almost all phone models, it's like a 7250 where you can only receive / sebd mms to or from a phone that has the same display resolution. It's nice for mp3 (with and without the headset) or AAC. I think it's a good phone.

i thinking of getting something wif mp3.....
I heard that 3300 can only limit to 128mb MMC? is that true....


I am currently holding Sharp Gx22....den getting 3300? will that be mad?

My main purpose is getting Mp3 player wif speakers (no need to carry headset everywhere)

And there is no mp3 player wif headset and changable Memory card....

Help Me....I still like Shrap Gx22 as and cam and phone but i need mp3 player
__________________
just buy a mp3 player.u would be that mad if u sold ur gx22 and bought a 3300 u would be very disapointed
__________________
What i mean is using Gx22 as a phone but 3300 as a mp3 player..


I can't find any mp3 players wif built in speakers and expandable memory...
Only 3300 and N-gage does....but n-gage is way to Expensive

something wrong with 3200 and 6600 gprs and mms

guys i tried to configure the 3200 and 6600 to get mms and to gprs but nothing works .... is there a glitch in these handsets or is it made tht way ?????? i noticed tht both these handsets have EDGE in it . is it cause of tht???
__________________
Only 3200 is an EDGE handset, but that's not the issue here. Both of these handsets use TCP/IP instead of WAP. Ask your operator the right settings for your handset. They are slightly different than in handsets using WAP.

ask ur service provider for new settings...

The same thing happened here also, a friend of mine bought the 6600 & he's anable to send or receive MMS or to use the GPRS...he asked the service provider (Vodafone) & they told him that because the device is very new they don't support it for now...they said that in a week there won't be any problems...be patient

Vodafone where? UK? I live in Spain and I can´t get mine to work.

I´d love to hear more on this please. I have two weeks to return the phone (which I will if this doesn´t sort itself out) or I am stuck with it!
__________________
You can get the settings from Nokia as a SMS:
for MMS
for WAP
for email and internet

Ofcourse in case of 6600 this needs that service provider supports GPRS as a TCP/IP (Vodafone UK and Spain doesn't at this moment...)

EDIT: these links are only for Europe.

Those earlier links I gave includes every phone Nokia has, not only 6600...

It doesn´t include the 6600 in the Spain, Vodafone.

Anyone know when they will support this phone?

thanks traktori i didnt know such a thing existed i always had 2 ring up optus everythime i needed 2 change my settings

Okay, I am having major headaches with this now. Vodafone say they they cannot provide me with info to make this phone operate MMS, GPRS, Email, or browsing as it works with TCP/IP. The shop I bought the phone from say they are liars and they won´t change the phone.
What do I do?
Has anyone in the world got this phone to work? I need to hear from you!

Yes I'm lucky enough to live in Finland where operators live along with Nokia and every time Nokia brings something new operators offer that also. So I have it working very well, and 6600's TCP/IP GPRS is really faster than 3650 older GPRS even though both support same amount of slots for GPRS.

Sorry I don't know exact technology behind TCP/IP and I don't have N-Gage here right now, but I can check later today.

Edit: now if I read my own answer it sound funny to call N-Gage as a conventional phone but it's using "old" technology for GPRS, so it's a good reference.

Thanks guys. I have called Nokia in Spain and they are supposed to be sending me a text with OTA settings. That was 30 mins ago. I'll let you all know.
__________________
OK I have spoken at length with Nokia and they assure me that the 6600 will NOT work on the vodafone espàna network with regards to GPRS, WAP and MMS.
This is categorical.
I feel really pissed off now, it´s a great phone but it'll have to go. I´m swapping for a 7250i

Hello,
Just thought I would help you all. On this phone if you simply set your phone up in the GPRS settings under connection the standard Internet settings all will be well. Such as Vodafon UK APN Internet and password user login user etc. Just use standard internet settings and your wap will work in the standard browser on the phone plus your email. Forget about wap settings. Hope this helps. Now for the dude in Spain again simply setup on your phone the standard internet settings. If your provider does not support Internet TCPIP then you are out of luck.

Regards

OK. So if someone buys a vodafone live! version of this phone, the GPRS and WAP must be working - right?

Press article: "Is Nokia losing its grip?"

Is Nokia losing its grip?

Handset lead slipping through its fingers

By Tony Dennis: lundi 10 novembre 2003, 18:41

IT'S BECOME a very noticeable trend that Nokia's grip on cutting edge technology in mobile handsets is loosening markedly.
Famed for being a couple of jumps ahead of its competition, Nokia is beginning to lag in key technology areas. We're not talking about its deliberate reluctance to introduce a silver painted, clamshell handset like its Asian based competitors. That hole in its repertoire recently bit the dust although Nokia insisted on using the word 'fold' rather than clamshell to describe the folding fabric-encased handset it announced it the US last week.

The world's aleady moved on to handsets which can enable users to view TV signals. NEC showed a working prototype capable of showing digital TV signals at ITU Telecom in Geneva. Nokia responded by announcing the 7700 which is its 14th handset to support the Symbian OS. The 7700 should allow users to view TV programmes but it's not due until Q3-Q4 2004. NEC is bound to beat Nokia to market.

And guess what? The Sunday Telegraph ran a report that Vodafone has placed its (very large) order for 3G handsets and the winners are Japanese manufacturers (NEC and Sharp, we reckon). Not a whiff of a Nokia 3G handset order.

A very similar thing happened to Novell at its peak. While its market share continued to rise, Novell showed no new ground-breaking technology. Then, in a wink, Microsoft stole the server market from Novell.

Complacency kills. And if Nokia takes its eye off the ball, it could wake up to find its No 1 slot looking remarkably shaky. Let's see who really sells loads of handsets over the festive season.

And you, what do you think?

__________________
Down with Nokia for many of their ugly handsets...
Nokia will lose very much on 3G market if they don't fix their handsets. Too ugly and not too good either.
__________________
3G is still very minor and still catching up,GSM is the main leader and nokia excels at this fones...

wen 3G eventually catches on nokia will have made much improvement from there 3G fones rite now
__________________
Nokia is known to unveil its products to market just right time. As a 3G is conserned I don't think it's right time yet to bring WCDMA phones to market, but EDGE is right there now with its 100 - 200 kb/s download, and easy-to-upgrade base stations. Operators can have a cheap opportunity to offer faster data with EDGE and TCP/IP handsets and Nokia is right now there with 3200, 6230 (also 6600 with its TCP/IP even without EDGE is much faster than say 3650), and Nokia is the one and only manufacturer to offer that.

And what about TV. Yes, some manufacturer in Asia is offering that in one coming phone, but that is analog-TV. Which manufacturer is offering this in Digital-TV (yes, Sony showed its chip, but when is that coming?). And which is offering this in Europe? Nokia is with its 7700. (Well yes this is only for testig-purposes but so are the DVB-for-mobile-use-networks.)

You are talking about that Nokia don't think it's the right time to bring 3G-handsets but then you are also writing about EDGE and Digital TV??
Well that is your view but don't you think 3G is more up to date than Digital TV and EDGE?

Is it only what Nokia believes that is up to date and not what the market says that counts for you with Nokia brains?
How many people can afford the tacos shaped ugly Nokia 7700 and how many wants to buy it?

Well its how you define 3G. For me it is mostly more speedy connections. And now when operators have spent so much money on licence-fees for 3G-networks (WCDMA) they don't have money to spend for expensive 3G base stations. EDGE is very cheap alternative to offer higher speeds and operators have found it as a good way to get higher data fees and this way get WCDMA networks done. Nokia is offering phones with EDGE and is no doubt leader in EDGE-technology.

Of course WCDMA is there to come, but right now EDGE is more rational for operators. When WCDMA is more common Nokia _will_ offer more normal phones for WCDMA, but now there is only very few networks offering that and for those people buying WCDMA handsets it is important to have something special and wouldn't you agree that 7600 is special. And I'd like to remind that Nokia 6650 was the first handset to offer WCDMA / GSM.

Then what do you want 3G phones to be like? And which of these features EDGE / TCP/IP phones like 6230 can't offer? WCDMA is faster when it is available but do you like to wait for that and use your slow (not-Nokia, I think) handset until that day or be a first-to-use-200 kb/s-phone?

BTW. Can you watch DVB with 3G handsets? No I don't think so. So you can't consider digital-tv as a alternative to 3G but as a nice feature which in near future only Nokia offer.

About bringing phones to market. When anlysts have wrote about the causes why Nokia is leader there have been two main reasons. User friendly UI and right timing. This doesn't necessarily mean this is the case today but I think it still is. Now the competitors have to be innovative to get attention, but Nokia has been in market very soon when technology gets mature. This was the case e.g. with bluetooth. But there is also many technologies which was developed and first introducced in Nokia e.g. very important Smart Messaging.

nokia 6600 video funtion

can anyone tell me if the video capture function on the 6600 is better than the 3650 which i find quite poor or is it as good as the gx20 or better?? all help appreciated
__________________
I'm a little confused. The GX-20's videoc apture is far worse (lower frame rate and bitrate) than that of the 3650, but you appear to like it more? The 6600 is slightly better than the 3650 and FAR better than the GX-20. Unless my GX-20 was faulty (and the one reviewed by MobileBurn) you've not seen a 3650 in action!
