it's quite good imo. I also have a 6230 and i think the sound quality is even but the N-Gage mp3 is more " stable " because sometimes my 6230 will skip if the mp3 is has been bad encoded and my N-Gage didn't have that problem. I haven't tried other phone manufacturer's phones with mp3 capability but i think it's a safe bet to say that the current mp3players on Nokia's are decent enough for listening music. Don't expect all the options like on stand-alone mp3players though, it's still a phone after all.

Thks. then is it sounds quality comparable with winamp on PC. With stand alone mp3 players have a better sound quality than n-gage?
Have u listened FM radio with n6610 headset, how is the mp3 quality on n-gage compare to FM radio? Thks.

well i don't think i can compare it to winamp on pc as iuse loudspeakers when listening music on my pc. But the mp3 player on N-Gage isn't much worse ( if it's worse .. i don't know )

The sound of the mp3 player is definitely better than the FM-radio sound on 6610/7210/7250 etc.

And as i said. I don't have a stand alone mp3player to compare it too. I can give you an example : It's just like listening to music on a discman/minidiscplayer provided you use decent earbuds instead of the standard nokia ones ( that's the problem with 6230, you can only use the standard one because of the pop-port or you have to mod your headset ).

is it possible to transfer pics via email ??

Hi,
I am planning to go for Nokia 6610/ Samsung X100, but is it possible to transfer images to phone via email.
In my country (India), Orange( HUTCH) offers email to phone service, so is it possible to send a mail and attach a pic in that, and then save that pic in the phone.

is this possible.pls let me know if any1 has tried this.

also is there any difference between the image format, polyphonic ringtone format supported by NOKIA 6610 and Samsung X100.
if i go for samsung x100, will it be possible to send images/ ringtones from my friends nokia to my samsung ??


thanks and best regards.

Transperet Icon

Hello, I have a 3510i
And I want to get rid of that pesky operator logo
I heard that if you can download a transpert icon that does just that
I have the section of the Operator Icons in the phone grayed out
I can't touch it
Anyway to get past it ?
or someone know where can I download a free icon to the phonne?

Nokia 6230 full of bugs!

I was on the verge of maybe getting one of these till i read some of these expriences encountered by owners of a Nokia 6230.

Quote:

The amount of bugs being shown up here is absolutely disgraceful, just what do Nokia think they were doing releasing bugged handsets, its getting like the 6210 situation a few years ago.

Here's a massive bug list from people that own one

http://www.expansys.com/forumthread....417&thread=613

__________________

It's making me doubt a lot about getting a 6230 too.. How about other manufacturors? Never heard about them encountering so many bugs in their phone-software! You'd pressume Nokia knows the S40 software inside-out already, not too different from a 6610 which has been out for 2 years now...

__________________

don`t believe the hype, i`ve had one for about six weeks now and have not experienced anything bad about it other than you can not have seperate folder`s for different albums on mmc. other than that this phone is the dady.
one thing that gets me though is the build up of dust under the screen.

__________________

hey,thats bad for them,although maybe only we(mobile freaks) are the people that know all those things.A big part of the people which buy those high class cell phones,just say:give some nokia which has all the new things on the market:Anyway maybe in the nest software version this will be corrected(like in cars electronics)

__________________

every phone that comes on the market, with first SW have got some bug's... not more than the 6230, not less...
Only the bug's in the 6230 are more discussed then other models (due high sellings???)

__________________

Hype?? what hype??? You just cant ignor all thise peoples complaints..

Im sure many other phones have been "high selling" before.. so I don't buy that one.. But if you type "Nokia 6230 problems" in Google.. you get the biggest problem list ever..

Having said that, I still gonna buy me one... hahaha

__________________

My 6230 is working quite ok.... I admit that the dust going under the screen is anoying. What comes to the softwarebugs I have to agree with
kristof.vanriet......

__________________

The 6230 is the old Series 40 software ported onto a new hardware platform with new application software bolted on. It could cause there to be a few more bugs than is usual with a Series 40 phone. Plus every software engineer at Nokia has been called into service on the next version - Series 45, although Nokia is not officially calling it that as far as I can tell - leaving few resourses availible to bug-hunt on the old Series 40.

__________________

mr.fun,

not 100% correct, series 40 v2 is a new software version (based upon series 40) that runs only (at this moment) on the 6230 and 5140 but was develloped on the 6230...
But also never forget that this phone got the most function ever build in this type of model...

2 dates to add in your agenda (if you are press)

When surfing internet i saw on the nokia site that there were 2 new dates added to the press calendar...

1. Totally Board Press conference, Thessaloniki, Greece - May 31, 2004 at 10:30-11:30 CET +
2. Nokia Connection 2004 Helsinki, Finland - June 14-15

I would imagine some youth phones to be announced at the Totally Board gig & higher end phones at the Connection gig ...

__________________

that should be right. after recent negative press, they really need to strike back with some of their new ideas, and besides most existing handsets in entry range have saturated the market at the nominal price already. Due to current 6230, 7200, 7610 releases, I would expect the higher-end releases to come later on in the year, after some new mid range announcements (which they desperately need right now).

__________________

they only presented about 4 phones up to now (for europe) and promesed about 40 new phone this year (est. around 20 new for Europe/Azia)...
but last year there were only 3 presented till June, so still no reason to panic, althow they have got some gabs in there portfolio...
It was in 2002 they presented in the first quarter a lot of new phones (about 6)
And if they present a phone this month it will be the first phone they present in May... they have never presented a phone in Januari, May and July.

__________________

in total there are 16 more to go for europe, 1 of which has been "revealed" by eldar already. the 6 planned clams haven't been shown yet at all (actually still in very heavy development as we speak, especially the technlogy side), and some VERY new ideas thrown in there by nokia some people will like. most of others are still gsm candybars, interestingly enough, many with rubbish screens still, but some top classy ones too. there's a few models in there that simply cannot fail I think. Nokia will be going after previous 8310 and 6310i type owners, many of which were dissapointed with current "replacements" (7250i and 6820). Their strategy is quite good - on one hand they will be updating these GSMs, on the other hand they're releasing some totally new funkey clams with interesting design. Eldar stated that they are trying to be different to Samsung - I disagree, I think they're trying to set new trends of their own regardless of other companies. Later in year people will either

1) go for samsung's now established, upgraded flips
or
2) go for old style updated nokia candybars
or
3) go for the fresh new style nokias (clams, ringtouchers)

as sad as it may be, flooding the market with LOTS of handsets has worked for nokia in the past
should be interesting to see what happens. my bets are still with nokia, with SE possibly taking over in the high end due to better pricing.

__________________

Nokia constantly looking for new trend, try to build own vision of market. But the problem is that Nokia dont have such vision

for instance 7600 is fashion but not popular
7200 is interesting as design study, but weak as a real product etc...

the same situation around new models, they are very interesting in terms of design, in some kind first on the market, but people prefer not to be pioneer and try all things, they are prefer to buy solid phones, with good features...

BTW, replacement of 8910i will be good. Replacement for 6820 isnt good...

__________________

do you think so? 7200 and 6230 are very high margin products, and selling well enough for nokia i would imagine. but yeah possibly nokia may be getting too ahead of themselves trying to set trends that could basically flop. they overspent on r&d with 7210+7250i etc, and are now cutting back a bit, which was sensible, but still a bit weird with some handsets. that last proto i came across which seemed to look like 6820 successor looked nicer, but i noticed the screen was quite bad, is that even a TFT? 8910i successor is indeed stunning. I did not look at the papers but it appears they're going back to magnesium alloy, the shaping and feel is pure 8850/8910 class, if not better. I still think a few key handsets in 3xxx, 6xxx and 8xxx range will keep nokia number 1 - the UI is back to snappy fast old style nokia, not the sluggish overdone 7210 etc they had on market last year, which has put them in a dangerous position considering SE and samsung have been coming up with unexpected challenges. There's still some things about nokia - UI, RF, auto volume, decent loudspeaker, speed, antennas etc that make a nokia feel right I think, that competitors still need to work on.

__________________

gaurav311,
you will be suprised i think by some products from Siemens and Moto later this year... they are on way for build good autonomy, RF, UI (these is for moto only, next sw version from October)
i couldnt agree that 7200 is a good selling, it has a pretty good sales but not overwhelming at all... for instance e700 has a bigger sales or even z600 is better on market....

6230 is a bestseller, definitely, and margin is a very high (around 200 Euro per handset). Multiply it on 12 mln of 6230 and you count Nokia profit

I repeat that users now buying familiar brend, design, set of features... they arent like a design studies. About brand awarness, loyality nokia has some problems now (too many 3310 was sold on market in last two years). They are strongly need to move from low end models to middle class, Nokia 3200 was a first step in this direction, later it will be around 5-6 product in this segment. It is good but pepole really need only 1-2 handset, not 10-12 from one vendor (spenduture on R&D, design develop, support etc higher for Nokia).
In any case this year for Nokia is most important.. they loose market or stay a top...

The 7600 and the 7200 might be a flop in term of sale figure, but still it's good a company (like nokia) try's to bring them on the marked just as show off, ...
but indeed phone just based upon design are not good comercialy (look at the Siemens Xelibri department)... but still those are the one who giving us a idea of what's possible or not...
And Nokia can afford a flop.

__________________

nokia can afford many flops as we have seen

im interested to as which ones eldar has got his hands on. the 3g clams are still very internal and in development as we speak, even design wise, possibly it's the premium edge models + the couple of funny designer ones that have been complete for some time now. if he shows the 6260 already nokia might be mad at him for stopping some sales the others definiately need to be out now though, because competition is taking over quite dangerously. Nokia are being silly if they think they can keep 7200 and 6230 as flagships for much longer than a few months from now.

__________________

gaurav311,
as far as i know 6230 will be a flagship untill end of November, it is statement from Nokia stuff

__________________

of course they would say that

I suppose they may announce the new handsets, with availability in december, which can be expected. I am amazed they are holding back almost complete handsets though. A component supply issue perhaps? If they have not shown anything by the time Voda goes mainstream with Z100 and such, then they really are asking for trouble..

__________________

gaurav311,
actually, they are in a big trouble...
they even ask samsung for displays and samsung of course decline their request
now they are talking with a branch of small companies, but in this case they couldnt build solid quality even for one models, too much different supppliers will be...

__________________

EldarMurtazin,

This explains why they continue to use old STN screens in most of their phones -even high end models such 6820. They prefer to put more recent screens in models targeted to the largest amount of sales.

Also, does Samsung still sell memory modules to Nokia?

__________________

sebset,
yes, they sell memory to them

__________________

i am amazed samsung refused actually - it gives samsung more profit (from more lcds) and an advantage with margins on phones. even legally, would this be allowed? there are quite a few other lcd makers besides, but yeah, you're right, nokia is a european company and they are finding it tough to source from far away lands in huge quantities. From what i know, arrangements for production of the 128x128 gsms was done quite early on, when they were prototyping 7200 etc, they should be ok there, but with the larger displays, they have to look to sharp, samsung etc, and that is going to get tricky...they are the world's largest manuf. however, they will always find a source in huge taiwanese market for lcds (which is growing fast), but as you say, quality consistency is going to become a big issue. they did this a bit with the mono LCDs, but with colour LCDs i would imagine this problem is much more noticeable. Also remember UFB etc are also strong options here, and there are plenty of makers for that tech, and these can be pushed into lower end handsets without much worry, with some good aspects of LCD but less power drain.

Why the hell can't my N6100 do this??!!

Hi there!
Today i got bored of my vibrate,and tried to change it, but guess what?! IT cant do it! Now, mine is a version 5 and i have checked with version 4 phones, and this can be done. I simply put the ring to none and change the ringtone, so the vibrate plays along with the song. This cant be done with the version 5. If i apply the beep once, the vibrate will be a slower type. Can anyone help me fix this???

Thanks
Ash

__________________

I am not so clear about wat are u trying to mean. But i know there are some songs that will make ur phone (i test on my 6610) vibrates by following the tones of the songs,but some songs doesn't,i dunno how to make a songs that can make ur vibrates in certain way.If that song doesn't have a it,the phone will vibrate in normal, means no slow and fast vibrating.

__________________

Ok, let me be more clear this time. For N6100 users, you have to access the profiles first. Next is the desired profile, mine is silent. From there click personalise. Now click on ringing tone. ( For testing perposes, the incoming call alert should be on ringing.) Go to any desired one, and demo it. Notice that with each tone, the vibrate goes along with the tone. Now, i would like to do the same while there is no sound. That means i want different types of vibrates with no melodies to follow. Can this be done?

Ash

__________________

Hmmmmm..I dun think u can do that.
Bcoz u have switched off the ringtone.

__________________

You can do a ringtone that has only one track, ie. the track that controls the vibra engine. Pretty easy...

__________________

So, how do i do that?

__________________

Ok.
I have discovered a trick to make ur phone vibrates in different ways(silent but not in slient mode)
First, u will need a ringtone file that can make ur phone vibrates in a different way. (e.g. all nokia pre-installed poly ringtone files)
Second, use a sw called MobiMB to copy the MIDI files from ur phone to ur pc.
then, use nokia sound converter to modify that MIDI file.
if your phone supports only 4-chords MIDI, put all channels value higher that 4 so that your phone cant play the channels thus no sounds will be made, however, your phone will sitll vibrate.
Finally, upload this file into ur phone and choose it as ur ringtones,
u dun have to switch to silent mode bcoz the ringtones will not make any sounds but only vibrations. if u switch to silent mode, the ringtones will not be played and ur phone will vibrate in the old ways.

hope this helps madaboutlifting although it has been a very long time ago.

Thanks Thanks Thanks !!!

__________________

there are both very good, but still the 6230 is way much better then the 5140,
a little comparison;
in basic the size is almost the same, the 5140 is only 3 mm larger, but thiner... The screen make a bigger difference, the 5140 has got a 4K, 6230 a 65K screen (same size), both phone are triband and support EDGE...
the real differences are that the 6230 got a music player, bluetooth, MMC card, animated screensavers,...
the 5140 got features like digital compas, thermometer, Flashlight and Decibel meter, got Stereo FM radio and offcourse the splash and dustprotection shells...
it's just depends on you what features you wanna have...

i thought it was around 1 Mb... and i forgot a very new important feature of the Nokia 5140, offcourse it support Push to talk...

__________________

But you can talk in 'PTT' mode only with people who have this phone, right ?

__________________

Yes, that's right.

__________________

Yep, you can use push to talk only when the network support this feature and when the other person has got it to...
But this is not all, there are about 2 version and those are not compatible at this moment, you've got the version of Samsung and Nokia, like on the 5140, and you got the version of SE, Siemens, and Motorola,... and those are not compatible... a shame, really a shame... and why, it's just a matter of money!!!

i tried to send a pic file from a 3660 to a N6100...

BUT it always failed. I tried by IR. Any reasons?

Thanks
Ash

__________________

Hi.
I have nokia 6610.
I know ur prob.
U cant send pic files from n3660 to n6100 bcoz n6100 is runing on Series 40 while n3660 is runing on Series60 (Symbian operating system in handphone).
Only Series 60++ allows u to send a pic files via IrDa.
So u cant send pic files from n3660 to n6100.
However,u can try send it via MMS, or send to pic to a PC then send it back to n6100.

__________________

it's not because it's a series40 or series60 phone. The fact is that Nokia " tuned down " the IR on older series40 phones. That means that things like sending and receiving pictures and ringing tones are disabled. I can send a pic or ringtone from my 6230 to a friend's 6220 ( both are " newer versions " of Series40 ) but i can't send it to my gf's 6100. Sending and receiving things to/from series60 isn't a problem, that just works.

__________________

so, does that mean i still can't transfer files from my phone to/from a series 60 phone?

__________________

I'm from malaysia too=).. LoL

Yeah, Nokia Series 40 cannot send anything via IR except business card unless the other device has the PC Suit or something installed...

The only one so far taht can do this is the 6230 I think...

__________________

I' agree with Dcell. It's not because one is series 60 and the other's a S40. I' have a N3650 and my son has a SE-T300 (and it's not even symbian), and We can transfer pic's via Ir all day if we want. Must be some thing else wrong with your phone?

if you want it directly it's not possible unless you use MMS. Indirectly u can use some pc programs like Nokia PC suite to transfer files from your 6100 to pc and then transfer it via the pc to a series60 phone.

I thought 6220 can also send by IR ( not 100 % sure ). It can receive anyway as i tried with a friend. And 7250i can transfer files by IR too if i am correct ( also not 100% sure :P ) The other Series40 phone can't transfer files by IR ( with exception of 6230 )

__________________

i think this feature (sending Phone to phone by IR) is possible with all series 40 version 2, at this moment 6230 and 5140 has got this OS. don't know about 6220 or 7250i

Why the 6650 doesn't worth purchase ??

__________________

its huge, implements older pilot 3g tech, and was generally created to satisfy operators that nokia can deliver wcdma handsets (as was 7600, in some ways). it is not a proper complete 3g release of the likes you will see later this year from Nokia. if you are a collector then maybe it is worthwhile.

__________________

there are some things i like about the 6650, the camera lens protector system, the buttoms look nice and a big screen.. it has got something from the 6310, looks very bussiness... althow it's very big, has got an antenna and it's a mobile that being used by a lot of operators to test the first 3G networks, got some historical value, indeed like gaurav said, if you are a collector

Why N-gage cannot play GBA games?

eh... guys.... as the topic...
Why N-gage cannot play Game Boy Advance games?
thanks=]

__________________

because you need more processor power to emulate a gba. Nes and gbc aren't emulated 100% correct yet ( sound is awful ) so gba would be even more harder to emulate.

__________________

oic....
btw anyone know the processor speed and the ram of this n-gage... etc etc?
thanks =]

__________________

All processor speeds for Nokia Series60 is around 104MHz

are you sure there are GBA emulators. As far as i know there are only GB COLOR emulators for Series60. Dunno about UIQ though. I've searched on google but could not find anything about a GBA emu for Symbian.

__________________

here is the real reason....

n-gage is a feeble attempt at a hand held console

gba is a REAL F***ing console, get over it

__________________

all from wat i know , ngage is stronger then a GBA .

over all , ngage is a better device .. the games are realli nice (fifa 2004 . splinter cell , sims ) +u have mp3 and radio .
in other words , ngage is a little of everything . and in a good way .

__________________

hmmm.... just dissapointed in the n-gage QD....
now the n-gage QD is more like a GBA with phone functions....

__________________

gba was made for the purpose of gaming, n gage is designed to be a bit more. as for n gage being the better device, you cant compare them, they are on different plains of existence, as for the n gage having better games. n gage has limited games. none are from nintendo and the majority of ngage games are ready to buy on wap or the better ver is out on gba. :P

__________________

even if the N-gage hardware owns the GBA hardware it doesn't mean that it can emulate a gba 100%. GBA games are programmed with GBA in mind, so the programcode of the games are written with GBA hardware in mind. To emulate it is very difficult as the N-Gage hardware is not miles ahead of a GBA. Maybe it's possible to program a GBA emu, i am not sure. But i think it's very difficult to program such a application as far as i know.

__________________

to be able to emulate another machine, the N-gage must be alot more powerful.

the N-gage is not that much more powerful than the GBA realistically(or even not as powerful) therefore it cannot possible emulate it because a GBA runs games with its hardware, while an emulation on the N-gage will require a lot of proccessing power as it runs the game in using software to emulate the hardware.

Nokia 6610.... is it that good??

Hi,
I am thinking of goin for a new nokia 6610.but i have come to know that it has only 725Kb of shared memory, wherin they store phonebook entries, pics, ringtones, mms messages etc etc.
so is that much of memory enough.
how much of each (example) mms, sms, phonebook entries, ringtones, pics, can we store in a nokia 6610??
is there some better option for nokia 6610 within the same price range.

otherwise my 2nd option is Samsung X 100, but overall Nokia brandname is more famous than Samsung. so will it be good if i go for samsung x100.

pls help me out.

why don't you go for the 6610i, it has got 4 Mb of shared memory, digital camera, SyncML, E-mail support and XHtml (differences 6610i vs 6610)

this is what the 4Mb of memory can contain
The following functions use shared memory that is dependent on the data quantity per item and shared memory available at a time in the Nokia 6610i phone:

Phone book: Up to 500 contacts with all entries filled in addition to SIM card contacts
SMS messages: Up to 150 text messages or 50 concatenated messages

Fixed ringing tones (11 preset, not removable)
To-do list (up to 30 entries)

The following features share a memory pool:
MMS messages (max size 45 kB per MMS message)
Ringing tones in Gallery (20 preset MIDI tones, all removable)

Its price i still dunno yet.

6230 questions from a newbie

6230 questions from a newbie.

Hi I just bought a 6230 and have some questions which I hope you guys can help me with.
I’m thinking about buying a big MMC card and heave read here that it works fine, but is it possible to make different play lists? I have just been able to make one with all the songs? I would like to have several playlists if I have a big MMC card, is that possible?

Is there any way to set the time the display is lit up? I think it gets dark to fast. And whne it’s dark it’s hard to see anything really.

Another question is if it is possible to do any changes to the cloack that starts after a while. It’s so dark that it’s hard to see what time it is. The font should be balder or white. Is there any way to change this, perhaps get a new clock?

Hope you can help

__________________

SOrry had one more question. I have been transfering files thrue IR to the phone. I used the Audio Mnger to transfer mp3's but I can't see the MMC card so I can only transfer to the phone memory thne I have to move the file from the phone before I can transfer another one. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I transfer directly to the MMC card?

Thanks

__________________

In order to use the MMC probably you have to rename it or else you won't be abel to use it. Go to Gallary - Select the No-name MMC and choose rename/reformat.

Your question about the time-to-darkness I know that somewhere you can change this from 15 sec to 30 sec. But can't remember where. So keep looking.

__________________

You can change the display timing under the Settings - Displaysettings - Screensaver - Timeout.

__________________

Thanks but that timeout doesn't change the blackout time for me.

__________________

no, you can't set the 'blackout' time...

the clock is indeed very dark but you can't do anything about it. press a key and you can see clock on top of screen lighted

you can make different playlists, go to to find out;

- a update on the series40 might become series 50
- bigger screens with res 163x132
- battery usage of the BL-6C (1070 mAh)
- more phones with push to talk

this data is a summary from posts of Delphi and Gaurav311...
Let's see it's true at the end of this year...

__________________

8300 is not a final decision yet, but if they do that will be the unique-style 3g cam and pretty much their headliner for this new generation. The 6300 I played with should really be same thing but bigger and aimed more at modern business clients, also cheaper. I can certainly think of another 8 series - the one hinted at as 8220/8100 - that model retains aspects of 6230 in new premium line generation. Also there are some models using more than 163x132 as well obviously. 7750 may not be shown yet. some of the phones are still under very deep development, including lots of the new 3-series generation (3-4 3xxx phones), I would be surprised if eldar has got details on every single one. Lets wait and see

also, about 5 clams, not 2-3 (nokia has gone all-out with clams now, so although initially 2 were planned, timing and operator pressure resulted in them dropping some experimental candybars and going with more clams with 2 cameras on them). the innovations this time round are huge with regards to menus and button ideology.

__________________

gaurav311,
i couldnt put all infos here, sorry because its confidential info of nokia... but i describe the way in which nokia going to develop new line (1920's retro design fro clams, tchnology etc) i hope that article will be prepare in two days...

BTW Do you like 63xx? I think it isnt up-to-date and wont be popular on market...

Charlie and 7620 aren't the same thing?

__________________

retro is spot on, i look forward to your write-up. I think those dials are cute . For anyone who didn't like the 3650, prepare for a heart attack
63xx will sell good still i am sure in same way 6310i did when 8310 was out, & 7200 is not doing bad despite the size and internal features too. I suppose because there are so many new ones, they have to leave some things out of some handsets to make the more expensive ones more attractive, there's so many, they only need to sell a few each of these new ones . Nokia have to retain their identity with some things rather than move with the rest of the manufacturers I suppose. Putting qvga screens on all the phones would lead them to direct competition with samsung/sharp and they simply cannot win in that area really.

Charlie and 7620 are like comparing a small bald businessman with a pretty woman.

__________________

nice sketches. mad, but nice

a lot of them will just use same s40 menus with refined icons/shape etc, for most of the gsm-edge phones do not expect anything majorly different from what we already have with 7200 and 6230. expect major design innovation/trend setting though (especially external design, buttons), which has always been nokias strong point with phones like the 6/8 series on gsm. the 3g clams will use somethings you have not seen before at all however. I am not sure if eldar will be able reveal anything about those menus in next few days. when he releases pictures of the clams, i think it's important to bear in mind that these are quite heavy phones. they had a very high level magnesium/alum clam phone proto at recent meeting, 8950 I would suspect, but i would amazed if they introduced that this year, too many bugs/very heavy.

i.e. expect very top end phones in 3g (dualcam clams in key markets) AND gsm premium ones like you have seen before.

__________________

i'll try not to be too explicit here, but definiately expect a new series xx on one of these phones. totally new, and very nice. It suppose they could call it series 70. This is NOT a S40 replacement, it requires too much hardware to be able to put on normal phones.

If they show that one, it's very early in development and the phone will not be out until Q105 earliest. Anyway eldar, one day left, show us which ones you have got?

__________________

Interesting that no one is commenting on any of the Bluetooth accessories that Nokia is planing as many of the new phones will make use of accessories to extend the usability. The new platform that Nokia is using in the handsets with the touchwheel will make heavy use of accessories.

kristof.vanriet, you are missing a lot of entry level phones which are not so interesting to talk about but their will be at least 3 new 2 series (clam and bar) as well as 2 or 3 new 3 series models by the end of the year

__________________

it's probably important to emphasize that most of the new nokias won't be too impressive (most low-mid ones still use cheap small screens), but are going to set new limits for what cheap handsets can do. A heavy emphasis will be on expensive accessories to tempt phone buyers afterwards, much in vein of their xpress-on idea (which was a BIG hit), and nokia expect the accessories to become very mainstream and generate a seperate strong stream of revenue. They hinted at this earlier with radio stand and bluetooth add-ons for 7250i etc, earlier, but reception was soft then. This time they are putting more emphasis on the core features of these accessories (similar situation to ngage-> ngage qd). If this takes off Nokia will be in BIG money all over again Only handset I have seen that will give the new nokia 8xxx sets a challenge is the Sony F. Samsungs to come later this year generally are re-hashes of last years releases (with bigger camera, mp3 etc), and I doubt that will let them gain any further market share.

also on the small gsm 8xxx models - specification wise, do NOT expect a K700 beater. that simply cannot be done due to supply issues with screens of that type (a rumour going around lately) and simply because there is little else you can pack into the size of a handset to compete with K700.

a few years back with 8310 vs T68i, nokia has a more trendy, much higher selling handset. for every t68i, nokia sold 10 8310s. even technically, t68i was very slow and poorly designed (non sony design lead). Nokia are obviously trying something similar here later this year again. The thing is, this time Ericsson has Sony with them. K700 destroys all weaknesses of t68i (fast menus, fantastic design) while capturing a lot of what made 8310 so successful. Basically, Nokia are going to have it harder this year, and should NOT act like they have the market to themselves and be wasting too much time on accessorizing their product range which may not even sell well in the first place. They'll need a hell of a handset to battle F700 afterwards also. They simply will not be able to charge $1000 again - no one will buy it. Nokia's turning into a Nintendo, and it's best they realise that soon. If SE or Moto takes leadership over time in europe, then it won't take long for Nokia to fall to 2nd. I am not sure about international handlings, I think Samsung is making major steps towards customers there too.

I think new Nokias are great, but marketing wise they need to step down a bit and concentrate on selling decent handsets at decent prices with a NEW attitude to stay on top this time.

Wow.... looks like this summer will be reeeeeeeeally hot, I mean the compation between SE and nokia is great, I'm not mentioning moto and samsung because I think they introduced everything they have( right? ) .

I guess nokia is attracting people by there designs( which sucks till now)
on the other hand SE is attracting people by features

I can see it now.. the new nokia gsm 8xxx will have a great sale, nokia are excellent with their seires 8.
Also these days I can see many young people going after features (mainly bluetooth, wav tones, big screens) ... most of my friends bought the 6600 which was aimed for bussness men. so my guess is any new series 60 will be a great sale too as these tend to have most features.

The most important thing i'm looking forward to in eldars review is the new commi, 8xxx and the new nokia desgns which always suprises us :P
