6230 - Email settings

Hi

I can't set up the phone for email. I have followed the guide from my network provider. But I can't choose an access point under the menu Installation for user where the guide say I shall.

Can any1 help me out?

Thanks for the link - unfortunately does my county not figur on that list and the national nokia site haven't updated their email settings to include 6230. So I'll wait untill it does.

My problem should be a small one though since my GPRS and MMS is working. Just need to give the email settting an "Access point" so it knows I have a GPRS subscribtion which its telling me at the moment I don't.

if u want |pay for name = nokia| get 3200

honestly there is no match between 3200 and e365.
the screen , camera , body shape , ringtones all are better of e365 . except tht 3200 has an infra .

the rest choice is urs.

e365 is better than 3200 about everything. its colors, screen, camera, etc...

I am using 3200 and i can say that Infrared is so important to me also i am using Java too so i am for 3200. Last Altough the screen in STN 128x128 4K it is not bad
__________________
of course 3200 is better than e365 in most ways. but if you think screen and camera 3200 isnt good
__________________
Not so bad, of course the e365 screen is better but as said before: It is enough, you can see pictures at least, not like the MC60 or other screens 101x80 even they are 4K too

Maybe the mp3 skips if you use MMC more than 128mb or incompatible ones, mine doesn't but i use the 32md MMC that came with it and I have only 7 aac files and lots of jpeg files, I'm palnning to get a 256mb or 512mb but I don't know what brand to use....PQI, Twinmoss, SanDisk???

Also its very hard swapping files (mp3, AAC, somtimes jpeg & gif) using PC (with billionton BT class 1) and Phone via bluetooth it starts giving me an headache .

Mine doesn't squeak I got the china version, maybe the sqeak comes from the contact of the fingers to the keypad but not really sure about that

why did nokia didn't place any cover for the pop port, those things gets rusty easily, I have to wipe it with oil very often

There's also a thread saying there is a new firmware v3.15 ,but my service center still has the v3.14

yeah i saw the post, maybe there is something wrong the way he transfers files, because sometimes when I transfer an AAC file to the phone which is very hard via bluetooth there is one song that kinda skipped at the beginning but the rest is ok, even when transferring jpeg files via BT there photos are not complete. so that's why I'm planning to get a USB datacable soon as I get my new MMC

heres one... you can play mp3 and aac... you can set mp3 as ringtones... but can you set aac as ringtones?

cheers

Yes you can . I use AAC format because they take up less memory space than MP3 which means more music .

how do playlists actually work? i tried making a playlist (.m3u) but it's just a series of shortcuts referring to those songs... which won't work on the phone because the shortcuts have nothing to point to

do you have to transfer it directly using the PC Suite Audio Manager? that would suck... cuz i have a cardreader

I'm using dBpowerAMP Music converter, Install at your own risk but it works just fine with my pc, here's the link hopefully it will work;
http://download.com.com/3000-2140-10...ml?tag=lst-0-1

also; before you can convert MP3 to AAC or any sound format you must get the proper codecs for it at this site http://www.dbpoweramp.com

some truths about nokia's current models

heylo all .

this week i got to test alot of phones . let me see if i can help u out with some pros. and cons. of all the phones i used . any questions u have , dont hesitate to ask me off .

7200 ( 570$ )

the first flap phone by nokia . and O boy wat a useless one .
1) the screen is to small for camera . pic looks good when u take a zoom mode otherwise its all crampped up in the small screen

2) textile covers feel nice but get dirty soon . u get only one cover with the pack . i wished i could had got 3/4 covers for the price i paid !

3) this phone is slow! unlike the nokia phones . this phone reminds me of SEt610

4) keypads r stiff u have to use a little power to click them .

5) quality built is not good at all! . in the dark i can seel ight coming out from the casing . specially on the sides of the screen .

6) ring tones are soft . i guess 7250 was louder then this phone .

7) only 4 m.b memory!!! wat was nokia thinking man!!!!!

8) no bluetooth , dual band , 570$ :S

8) vedio is 50 secs .




6230 (500$)

1) the back cover is realli loose its shakes and squicks

2) there is no way to add in movies inside the memory card directly (well there is if u have a card reader) otherwise from the pc suite there aint

3) there used the older handsfree (7250) which isnt quiet good looking . i like the new one (7200) (7600)

4) the keppads are just gr8! so is the speaker !

5) the screen is nice but again pics look very cramped up when u see the pics but when u zoom it in , the screens a beauty!

6) radio works gr8

7) vedio is 4 mins .




SE P900 (740$)

1) speaker is gr8! just gr8!!

2) no much improved on the camera . i wish they would had used the whole screen as the view finder like the sx1 tht would b kool

3) 4 mins recording

4) the screens nice! sharp colours .

5) the phone is just like t68 / t68i just physical upgrade and a few internal things . its nothing totally new then the p800 . but cost allmost double the price




well these were the phones i used this week and these are the points which i thought were weak / strong in tht phone .

3) design i told u is wat is changed

4) better mp3 ? . ummm i think its the same nothing better mayb u feel cause of the better speaker

5) my p800 never hanged nor did p900 so this is no issue for me

6) speed has improved tho. for sure!

about the 6230: small screen and alot of bugs, 6230i to lauch arround X-mas

Bugs will get fixed, but they always wait a month/2 months to bring out a new software version, unless there are very important bugs.
The buttons as i know works just fine...

we all know you don't like Nokia, but please if not, don't talk bullshit, will you?

lots of bugs? well guess it has a few but most of them can be solved (eg. caller groups - reset. mmc access bluetooth - give a name. etc). and please, where the hell did you get 6230i from? i agree...don't talk bullshit...

bugs that won't be fixed? is this an assumption?

very high price? well whaddya expect from a phone that has mp3 player stereo, stereo FM, camera, mmc slot, 65k screen and just about everything that anybody right now would need?

as a matter of fact i think the price is VERY reasonable relatively. How the hell is it a "very high price."?
__________________
enerlevel thank you for posting... now i don't regret not getting 7200 =P sounds crap

but 6230 if you stick a tissue at the back inthe cover does the "squeaking" stop?
__________________
yea u r right but it just doesnt look or feel good stuffing somthing in the back cover speacially when u paid so much to get a "new" phone .
one more thing about the 6230 is tht they should have had added a way to listen to the radio without attaching the headphones . and also there should had been a way to record song off the radio just like the n-gage and 3300 could do.


thnx for telling me about the mmc renaming thing and caller groups . i realli didnt know tht these problems could b solved ... once again thanx for telling

__________________
enerlevel,

great review on the 7200. You didn't miss much. Rumors confirm what you write. I can't comment on the other two reviews as I've not seen the phones myself.

I'm curious to see if Nokia can do some volume on the 7200. Their marketing dept is working overtime hawking this any way they can. It will take one hell of a marketing campaign to sell this doggy. I have an idea, how about we slap some furry covers on it and try to sell some wacky color versions as "Limited Editions" ??

:-)
__________________
the main difference between the p800 and the p900 is
1) shape
2) colour screen
3) speaker

the shape is certainly improved than the p800 . it is not smaller and really nice looking .

the colour screen is tht best i have seen . it shows the wallpapers and the pics with realli good and sharp images. however the screen fails to diliver on vedio mode .

speaker is realli loud and clear . the best speaker i have seen . but then again , the speaker mode is still soft .

6230 in the USA

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a Nokia 6230 in the states for around $250? I have looked all over (even eBay) and I can only find them for $450-$500. I have checked out Mobileq.co.uk, but am not comfortable paying £20 for something that I am not sure I will even get (or will get when the phone is worth only £20). Please help!!! I am willing to purchase the phone from abraod, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


__________________
For £ 19.99 you get the "Accessories CD with Nokia 6230 listing" or "Antenna Booster with Nokia 6230 listing", and NOT the acual phone! Dont buy from Mobileq.co.uk

Problem is, I want the phone, not the junk that can be added to it.

Nokia 6230 MP3 bug

Hello,

Just wondering if anybody else has this problem:

My 6230 came with a MP3 song on the MMC card. However it, and other MP3s which I have copied accross, skip around every 10 seconds and sometimes the phone crashes.

Even when an MP3 is assigned as a ring tone it skips. I am using the 32MB MMC card that came with the phone.

- Andrew

__________________
I don't have such problems....
__________________
I also dont have that problem but I use AAC format, I use small Mp3 clips for a Message tone alerts . Maybe the cause of skipping is due to transfering of files via faulty bluetooth connection, bad MMC reader/writer (have one of those and its sending my n6230 corrupt files even files that are there but can't be seen in the phomes menu), or bad data cable. The mp3 "Strange Transmissions" that came with the MMC plays smoothly, but if it really skips no matter what you do, better take it to the nokia service center hopefully you got warranty.

I don' have any problem of that kind either. And I was one of the first to get my hands on it..

Also had my phone for a few weeks with no mp3 skipping problems.

i put a 128mb card in last week before my trip to the USA and filled it with mp3s all 128k 44.1k and no probs. Filled the phone memory with videos and photos ive been taking while away.. and have started saving photos and videos straight to card now... and no problems..

Cheers.

i question the "it" that you say everyone is complaining about
(unless it's at esato! ),
most of the problems i see are either once off problems or minor
bugs, the major bugs that seem to be reported so far are the
caller id bug, and gallery bug

As far as i can see, with the MMC card compatibility issue it is
unfair to blame it on the 6230. It's like bringing a PC formatted
disc and expecting it to work on a MAC.

As with the problem JensonF1 is describing, is every song
skipping like that? How was the mp3s encoded? How was the
MMC card formatted


ps. Bart: the person asked a question, please be more
constructive and try to help the person instead of your dumb
ranting

what mmc compatibility issue? if you're talking about PC not finding it, that was solved, just rename the MMC in 6230's gallery and PC will see it.

that happens to me too, the music player can only see music files that are in the "music file" folder and MMC directory and cannot see past the sub folders.
__________________
you must store this in the root only

i have a 128 mb mmc card on my 6230 and it works just fine, experienced no problems so far.

however when i set an mp3 from the mmc card as the ringtone i experience a short delay. copying the mp3 ringtone from mmc to the phones main memory pool fixes the delay problem.

i guess it takes time for the phones main processor to pick up the ringtone from a 128 mmc card, but hey this is not a pentium 4, and i guess we should keep our expectations at a reasonable level

The issue i'm talking about is the same issue as with the 6600,
certain brands of MMC cards do not work so well with the 6230,
eg. on certain brands mp3 ringtones don't work, etc,
i assume these are the "bugs" Bart always mentions but never
specify
please refer to this thread:

with the new firmware or doing a master reset

Yes there are a few bugs, even on the one I tried out today. No hardware problems... nothing that a few firmware upgrades can't sort out. But it's a shame that it had so many problems, especially since it took so long for it to come out. Think how bad it would have been if it hit the shelves in Early February like Nokia said it would!?

Questions about N7610 !

Does it have infra red ?
Does it support SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 and WAP 2.0 XHTML ?
When exactly would it be released ?
How much would it cost ?

How is it like if it was compared to N6600 ?

No Infrared port, only BT and USB
POP3/IMAP4/SMTP/WAP/XHTML supported over TCP/IP
Nobody knows when EXACTLY it will be released, but expected quite soon, should be in shops by June.
More than 6600 when its sales started

Next evolution compares to 6600, consider it stylish version of advanced 6600

Then you'd better come and check it once again.

Want to convince me? Tell me it's SW version. If it is so easy - just punch in *#0000#...
...because there is no even candidate SW for it yet.

Well, there is one option I can think of... what you've seen there is actually "Non-working sample. Made in China". Plain plastic.

the answer to most of your questions!!!
thats the website of nokia
you can also compare phone-features there...

...i saw a man...

that could be you as well... visiting CeBit in Hanover. Does that mean it has been released in Germany?

So, what was the SW version? ... after checking "it's menu system"? All right, no need to answer, you have no clue, you've never seen that phone yourself live.

All that story about "toy samples" makes me think about stolen protos, not stable enough for anything else but playing ringtones... unless it is just a funny story to impress someone.

Maybe I don't understand something about that part of the world and selling prototypes with "PROTO. NOT FOR SALE" sticker on 'em is just ok there... well it is up to the local laws and people's conscience...

BUT

anyway, I would not call that a RELEASE

3 stolen protos is not a release, providing that "3" is also true, not yet another made up story.

When it will be released, by Nokia, not by some shop keeper - I'll tell you.

As of now it is NOT true.

actually there are a few 7610s for sale in black market here in istanbul as well. i sure don't know whether they are prototypes or some other stuff but it's smuggled in a way and you can buy it.

nokia did not officially release the phone but smugglers always get a hold of new models a few months in advance, so let's please be careful before blaming other members about NOT telling the truth.
__________________
OK, I am not blaming anyone, I only tried to say that it has not been RELEASED.

Would you but a ... cheese two month before it has become a cheese? Same applies to a phone. If it has not been released 2 months ago it means that it was not usable at that time. 2 months in sales is a hell lot of money...
BTW, it may never work in real network, so if you are lucky you can buy a "toy sample" :-)
__________________
Alright guys just calm down. The fact of the matter is Nokia 7610 is indeed NOT OFFICIALLY released. I know it because I have some friends who work for Nokia and they themselves have not heard anything about it another than it's gonna be out sometime in late June or early July. Just like everyone of you I'm eagerly waiting for it as well but I'm not gonna buy the 'first batch' as they often encounter problems something even the 'Nokians' agree upon. So I'm just gonna wait for about a month or two if I can wait that long before i purchase it. Remember Nokia comes out with a new Symbian smartphone every 8-9months. So you can expect the next one after 7610 to be out sometime in Febuary Or March 2005 :-) oh just in case you don't know I'm from Singapore.

Nokia loses market share...

From the New York Times, April 17...

"Slow to Adapt, Nokia Loses Market Share in Latest Cellphones

LONDON, April 16 - Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, paid a heavy price on Friday for missing the trend toward stylish clamshell phone handsets, denting its vaunted reputation as the arbiter of cellphone chic.

Biting into Nokia's market share, the company's hottest rival, Samsung Electronics, reported soaring profits, while Nokia forecast a further slump. Nokia shares touched a 13-month low as investors began looking toward other cellphone makers regarded as likely to tap into a market of fleeting fashions and fickle loyalties.

"No brand can stay cool forever," said Peter Firstbrook, an analyst with the META Group, a technology research consultant firm in Stamford, Conn. "Nokia has been slow to adapt."

The contrast between Nokia, based in Finland, and Samsung, based in South Korea, could hardly have been more stark as they made their announcements a few hours apart.

Samsung recorded $2.7 billion in profit in the first quarter, an increase of 178 percent from the period a year ago and its best quarter ever; sales were up 50 percent. Nokia said that the 2 percent drop in its first-quarter profits, announced last week, could be followed by second-quarter sales that are likely to be "slightly below" the $8.4 billion it recorded in the period last year.

Samsung executives seemed surprised by the surge in their company's fortunes, and forecast better things to come in the second quarter. Nokia said it was "not satisfied with our sales development during the first quarter."

Nokia still has the leading share of the world handset market, manufacturing 35 percent of the 128 million mobile phones sold in the first quarter. But Nokia lost three percentage points of share from the last quarter of 2003, while Samsung, which ranks third by sales volume after Nokia and Motorola, gained ground.

Samsung said on Friday that it expected its market share to rise by almost four percentage points, to 14 percent. Nokia said its goal was still to secure 40 percent of world mobile phone sales.

Most striking, however, is that recent declines in Nokia's share price mean that Samsung's market capitalization has now overtaken Nokia's as the largest for any technology company outside the United States. The shift in part reflects Samsung's much broader product line, which includes memory chips and flat-screen displays as well as high-end mobile phones, at a time when all those products are fetching high prices.

Shares of Nokia, which at one point in the day were off nearly 10 percent, closed at 12.40 euros, down 8.2 percent. Samsung's share price also fell on Friday, along with most Korean companies, but after the day's trading, Samsung's market capitalization was equivalent to $76.4 billion, compared with $69.4 billion for Nokia.

"Nokia has obviously made some major mistakes," said Urban Ekelund, an analyst with Redeye, a private research company in Stockholm. "Firstly, they haven't launched clamshell products, which came to Asia one and a half years ago. And second, they haven't launched products with good color screens and cameras."

By contrast, Samsung has been "focusing on high-end products," Mr. Ekelund said in a telephone interview, while "Nokia has been focusing too much on the low end," and on emerging economies rather than richer markets like the United States.

In a television interview, Jorma Ollila, Nokia's chief executive, said, "There were some changes in the products of our competitors, and we were not as swift in moving."

In a conference call with analysts, Mr. Ollila said that Nokia planned to introduce 31 new models this year, including about 6 of the flip-top type that Samsung and Motorola were quicker to unveil. But that may not reverse its fortunes.

"As you get bigger, you become the target, and it becomes harder to move quickly," said Mr. Firstbrook of the META Group. "Nokia became bigger not necessarily because they were best, but because everyone else was stumbling. Now there is more competition, and the competition is getting better. Nokia is a bit of a dinosaur in terms of changing direction. I don't think there's any one thing they can do to turn around."

Even as Nokia shares fell on Friday, those of European rivals like Ericsson and Siemens gained, as investors shifted away from what had once been seen as a rock-solid bellwether stock.

The woes came after earlier signs of trouble. On April 6, Nokia warned investors that first-quarter sales had fallen about 2 percent, a performance far short of the company's forecast of a gain of 7 percent. On Friday it said that its second-quarter earnings would probably be 0.13 euro to 0.15 euro a share, well below the 0.19 euro figure of the period a year ago, which included the costs of job cuts.

The company also said on Friday that while sales of mobile phones in general rose at a 29 percent annual rate in the first quarter, Nokia's shipments increased by only 19 percent. Operating profit at its mobile phone division fell to 1.09 billion euros."

Cruel!!!
__________________
Why do I remember the president of Nokia, Ollila, when he came to Korea 4 years ago, and announcing that Korean market will be heavily dominated by Nokia?
He was not able to see the future. He officially mentioned about samsung phones 4 years ago, that they are low-tech. And I remember him coming out in the news again, and saying "Korean market is too biased, and self-concerned. No foreign companies can even go into the market. The problem is not Nokia, but korean people".
This is why I hate this stupid company. Really, I can only say stupid because they were still saling black and white phone at 2000, when there were only color phones coming out. They repeated this 4 times in a row. Withdrawing and trying again. I've never ever seen any Nokia phones from my korean friends. Nokia was too arogant. What made them to arrogant to underestimate samsung? Well... probably they would know the answer.
A month ago, Ollila again visited samsung electronics, to ask for advanced screen supplies and flash memory. Of course, it was rejected. Samsung will only provide low-end parts. If you don't want it, then don't import it.
Now they should feel something different. Why did they have to blame korean people for their poor sales in Korea? Why can't they realize that their phones were just not attractive?
They had bunch of commercials flooding in the TV, I remember! But their market share in korea was less that 100 phones-_-; (no joke)

n3200 vs nokia 7250 vs siemens mc60

which better is this 3 phone
leave the memory of 7250
and all other features are same or no
help
__________________
n3200 is a bit of enhanced lke the 7250i but the dsign sux so about mc60 it ain't worth it coz of the screen and the picture quality is the same so will say if u want one wit the camera n stuff then 7250i is gud
__________________
i would probably go for the 7250i
__________________
its not 7250i its 7250
__________________
the 7250 isn't on the market any longer, if it is, oh boy there scruwing you arround

the 3200 is better then the 7250i but there are alot better phones then those 2 for the same money

siemens MC60= haha! its the worst cam phone ever
__________________
Whatever you do, don't get the MC60. I love Siemens, but I really really don't love the MC60. My sister has one, she's unhappy with it, and she's thirteen!

The 3200 might just be the ugliest phone ever made IMHO, so if you have to choose one of those three, then 7250 it is. Or if you fancy the 3200's feature set, then 7250i.

But you'd be much better off with a 6230
__________________
nono not a 6230 everyting except that, just look at all the problems it has.
__________________
i would choose 7250 mainly casue of its looks . otherwise everything is the same for 3200 and 7250

and plz forgeet about mc60. it simply suxs!

i think 7250 is cheaper now then b4 so i guess there hsould not b much difference between the price of 3200 and 7250
__________________
absolutely 7250. and if you can find buy 7250i
__________________
Except memory 3200 is nearly same also it has lamb and EDGE, camera is both same (352x288) but memory is 1.5mb Also it is newer than 7250&7250i
__________________
i think you should compare 3200 and 7250i camera quality on phone screen. then you will understand difference.
__________________
the 3200 can do voice recording but the 7250i can't

Since u have 7250i then why u still wanna buy 3200?

Nokia 6230 - In The UK

Is anyone from the UK and bought the Nokia 6230, as I'm looking to buy one myself shortly.

What are your impressions, where did you buy it, was it on contract or sim free (if sim free how much did you pay for it).

All info appreciated, including what version of firmware it's running and any probs you may have with it.

Many thanks, and I look forward to reading the replies.

I'm waiting for it to become availbale on the T-mobile network. It's down to 29 quid on contract (o2) while it's 300 quid sim free - no contest. Where will you be buying yours from?

what r u saying .how can be n6100 be better
nokia 7250i cool
__________________
hey come on the answer would ofcourse be the Nokia 7250i
__________________
buy 7250i for its camera, "style" and some features...
or
buy 6610 for its size and weight
__________________
of those 2 the 7250i but why not get a T630, better cam, better screen better overal all phone and cheaper
__________________
the 7250i is better then the 6100, more features, more memory, a camera and a better screen...
__________________
7250i is absolutely better than 6100. 6100 and 7250i are like apple and banana. they are very different
__________________
the only main difference is the camera and memory of 7250i

Just in case you don't like the 6100, you can go to trademyphone.com , you can trade your phone or even sell your phone there! i did trade my s105 for a 6600, pretty easy , new phone shipped to my house in 3 days
__________________
of 7250i is better, with it camera and xhtml browser
6100 is just smaller,
becoz of its high demand ( so small to hold), its price has gone up.

moom,

Wait for the 3220! So nice!

7250i has better internal technology than 6100. 6100 is a mid-range phone, nokia has clearly stated that, with the 7250i being a high end derivative of 7210.

Which is better? NOKIA 3100 or NOKIA 6100?

I am young people and I need a mobile phone

Please write here your answers and suggestions....

Thanks
__________________
depends, firstly both mobile phones are allmost the same, except some small features and the target.
feature who are different are:
The 6100 is smaller, and lighter, has got more memory (200Kb) and has got Infrared.
the battery of the 3100 is slightly better, has got more inside games and animated screensaver.
The speed on internet on the 6100 is faster but the 3100 is working on wap 2.0 wile the 6100 is a wap 1.2...

For the rest, same screen, both triband.

so that not very much, so we go to the design... The 3100 is more made for youth and the 6100 is more a small business device...

Just pick the one you like most qua design, the features are allmost the same
__________________
there the same shity phones.
the 3100 is cheaper but has a less good battery and no irda.
__________________
N6100 has 725kb of memory while N3100 has 484kb of memory... the screen of N3100 is slighty better than N6100 although both screen contain 4096 colours...

but firstly, how much is your budget? if u have enough money, maybe u can go for a better phone like N6230...
__________________
3100 , if you don't need Irda.
__________________
y does my 3100 have 932KB of memory then??
__________________
??? y yours is 932kb of memory? did u do something to it?
__________________
nope thats how it came in the box!
__________________
strange? my friend only 484kb
__________________
every one i know has 925KB as well
__________________
i was in a pub a few hours ago and saw a friend with the 3100, it was nice, screen was more bright and more functions (in general menu). for that i take the 3100, price quality much better, but the funcky design doens't fit me, but that's personal offcourse...
__________________
yeh 3100 has a much brighter screen than most other series 40 fones

going completely off topic,lol i got given an 8855 with a broken screen and i have since fixed it and have been using it and i have 2 say i have found a love 4 it again i love the design of it and its style,everyone looks at me wen im talking on it.!
__________________
i recommend 6100, for all its own reasons. your choice, buddy.
__________________
if you are looking something for java applications and memory which you want to use by pictures, java, etc 3100. but if you look for appearance then 6100
__________________
First 3100 is newer and i agree the screen is better, but IR is very important for me so if I were you I would choose 6100 nevertheless 3100 is cheaper

6100.

i know e365 dont have infared port and java
which in better is this both
motorla is quiet cheap in uae
dhs 860
nokia dhs 1100
which is best

__________________
go for the 6230, much better, not even to say the best Nokia at this moment (series 40)...

but if you really doubt between those devices, go for the 6220, much more features than the E365, but i think the screen on the E365 is better...
i don't know about camera, didn't saw a picture yet
__________________
__________________
the quailty of the E365 is good and viewable on the com... comparing to n6220 which the photo size is small and not very clear when view on the com
but i'm sure that n6230's photo quailty is better than the E365....
__________________
Motrola e365 got better cam then n6220
m(640x480)same as 6600 .n6220(332x240)
moto got big screen
moto is best
__________________
hahaha.... then choose E365 since it's your fav choice~!

Good call Otaru!

motorola e365 is for photos. it can take photos, and you can view them with good quality. but if you want applications such as java then 6220 is better than e365

IR-Java-Memory-Video are the avantages of 6220 but if you say screen is so important you have to choose e365-if i were you i would choose 6220

Can The Nokia 6600 have MP3 Ringtones?

Can the Nokia 6600 use MP3's as ringtones because in the manual it says it can but i can`t get it to work!

Please anyone help?
__________________
Music Support:
MIDI tones (poly 24), True Tones (WB-AMR)
__________________
But the manual say's it surports MP3'S!
__________________
i'm using mp3 as ringtone... =]
__________________
How please tell me!
__________________
I think you should use 64 kbit mp3, no diffrence for a phone speaker but smaller in size.

Listen to my own-made ones! You could the mp3 one on your 6600 I use both in my Moto MPX200 in WAV-format.

I've made also an Matrix-ringtone (WAV-format)

Matrix ringtone:

mp3 ringtone:

__________________
Thanks for the ringtones AvWijk but i need to know how to get them on the phone and get them to work. as soon as someone helps me out i will try them!
__________________
Just beam it by infrared or bluetooth, or download the ringtone via internet (enter the URL in your phone)
__________________
I think no one is getting my question.

When I send a mp3 to my 3300 where do i put it?
__________________
Sorry I ment 6600!
__________________
In the folder /ringtones or something? Or you can put them on your MMC card (from yout PC) and insert the card in your phone, play the sound, choose options 'set as ringtone'?
__________________
does anyone else know (who has the phone!)
__________________
i use the mmc card reader... put the mp3 in the mmc card then into the phone...
__________________
the nokia offical website say can use true tone.... they didnt mention about using mp3 as ring tone...
i use WB-AMR format or wav format for ring tone...
__________________
well, it`s says on page 96.

Im quoting this!

NOTE: To use MIDI,AMR,WAV,MP3 and othersound files as ringing tones, they must be stored in the Digital sounds folder in the Gallery

This thing is I don`t have a MMC card reader and when I send a MP3 over to my phone through BT it says it does not reconise the file.
__________________
i believe that n6600 cannot support mp3 at all unless using 3rd party software to play it... so dont even mention about using mp3 format as ringtone...
i had tried that long time ago... so i know that it cant support at all... the only way is using either wav or amr format...
maybe your guide book has an error on it....
__________________
Look at that! Cool! Isn't it?
That much misleading info... even from the same people!

Real player technically could play mp3, but there is no way for you to make it recognize the file type, since mp3 support has been deliberately removed

6230 radio via loudspeaker

Hi there!

I just got my 6230 just yesterday and I love it (thank u kristof.vanriet, Tu!@ng Man, Bigbry, the phone is really fast)! A really good business device!

Anyways, please don't flame me because this might have been asked already several times for other phones, but why can't u play radio via the loudspeaker!?!? This should only be a software matter?! Does anyone know what the problem of Nokia is in this case?

thanks in advance,
Christoph

P.S.: Maybe we can convince Nokia do incorporate this feature in a new firmware version
P.P.S.: Did I ever mention that I love my new Nokia!? Well, I do!
__________________
Actually you CAN. Only you'll have to have your headset on because it works like an antenna... So I don't immagine they'll fix it in the next FW
__________________
indeed like Amberstar said, just connect the headset to your 6230, open up radio and then open loudspeaker. Normaly that will do.
Why? because the headset is used as antenna, that can't be fixed by software... FM radio needs a antenna, but i thought DAB (digital radio) not, mayby in the future we'll see a DAB reciever in a mobile phone, would be great...
__________________
when the antennas(headphones) go into your ears, won't that damage your brain?
__________________
It's only for receving

Try to play MP3 with the loudspeaker.. when the headset is connected
__________________
Ok, got the idea

Interesting question though from Mainframe AI: when u use the headphones for talking, do they also use the antenna to _send_ or still the internal antenna!? And who is sure about that?
__________________
no, its just the internal antenna for talking

i was asking about radio...doesn't antenna up your ears... mutate you? :S
__________________
heheh

Radio receivers are not harmfull for the brain... it's like using a walkman radio... Actualy the signal is in the air all the time so your brain receives it all the time.... but it's very weak. If we start to worry about this maybe we should start worrying about breathing first.... hehe
__________________
man... people around me always put their index finger right on the internal antenna when talking... i worry about them...
__________________
Yeah that's a different case alltogether....
However today phones are quite small don't you think? That's why people do that...

Brain dammage vs convenience, doesn't sound right....
__________________
Mainframe AI

putting your finger on the antenna is not dangerous, it's just that the signal gets weaker if you do so...

but i don't know why people are worried about SAR ratings
__________________
It is dangerous.
Since the signal gets weaker, the phone uses more power to get a better connection so your brain gets more radiated.... I'm quite sure about this.

your brain? YOUR BRAIN? all you people care about is your brain?
