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?
__________________
with a datacable and logomanager would work out just fine, just upload the blank operator logo to your phone...
but to find it with a sms logo service, it will be more difficult?
what country are you from?

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...

God dam!! you guys are psychos.. living, breathing phone data phreaks!!! lol. But you know what? That's a good thing, cos if your gonna do anythng.. why not do it properly!!!
Take it to the max.. be an expert in your field.. why not.

..and I'm still going to buy me a Nokia 6230 handset!!!

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.
