Nokia 3100 Triband

I was thinking of buying the Nokia 3100 triband (900/1800/1900)to use in Canada, I know it's unlocked as all phones are here in Finland. My question is: Could I use it with either a prepaid service or contract service in Canada? Rogers? Fido? Here in Finland you can buy whatever phone you wish to use with any operator you like...I guess it's a little different in Canada?

nokia 3200 vs nokia 7250i

which is better
in screen
in battery life
in camera
in desigen
etc....................

__________________
The screen are the same
battery life too
camera is the same too
but in design the 7250i is much better than 3200 dont have doubt about it, i was thinking in buy a 3200 because its price but i bought the 7250i its more beautiful, and the memory of 7250i is around 4 mega while 3200 is only 700 kb.
__________________
its 1 mb of 3200
__________________
7250i is NOT AS WORSE AS 3200....just 7250i wins from its 4MB memory...

In my opinion...both are ugly...other features are totally same...
__________________
if you have to choice one off both and you don't care about how it looks and about the 4Mb vs 1Mb and some other small features (althow the 3200 has got edge) go for the 3200, it's just cheaper, like it looks...
the 7250 has got better buildingquality and nice design, the 3200 is more playfull, or as some called it 'ugly'...

I have to admit that 3200 is the cheapest camera phone by Nokia...however...if u dun mind about the $$$....I will recommend to take 6230...or a smart phone...at least VGA camera can take an acceptable quality photo...CIF camera is too bad...
__________________
which all nokia phone have
vga camera and thier model no
__________________
7250i haves digital camera + zoom+nightmode
3200 built in camera only+nightmode
which is better
__________________
currently only Nokia smart phone has VGA camera...
6230 would be the first Nokia series40 which has VGA camera...

7250i is only able to zoom after u take the photo...it can't zoom while photo hasn't been taken...anyway...it is just a digital zoom...not an optical zoom...digital zoom just make the photo blurer...

Application can make as many digital zoom as u wish....i have a programme call Flexicam Pro in my 6600 which can have a 2800% of digital zoom....but the photo taken is very blur...

so...no point to have a zoom...
__________________
but 7250i haves a digital camera
__________________
Tu!@ng Man

for optical zoom you need an lens system in the phone/camera, that is not yet used in a phone...
all phones uses digital zoom, but when you have an megapixel phone, the quality will be acceptable, but not a VGA cam...
the best zoom program (for pc) is S-spline, very good enhancer of the quality of a picture when u resize

I still can't believe that 7250i is still mentioned here, people you have to move on and live la vida loca amigos. Wait for the K700 and you will never sell this phone.
__________________
we still talking about 7250i because one member want to know something about about it, and personally, i dont like SE or siemens, just nokia, i will never have another brand dont be nokia, and ilike this phone so much, its can be worse than t610 t630 but i dont like the design of SE is too ugly for me, thats is my opinion and i respect yours.
__________________
the covers of nokia 7250i or any model
can be fixed at 3200
__________________
No, dont have any cover that can be fixed at 3200, thats bad because i dont like the keypad and thats the 1st reason why i dont bought it and bought 7250i.
__________________
The keypad can be used of 7250i
i asked the dealer
__________________
No way, see the pics and you see it cant fit
__________________
I dun think K700 is a VERY nice phone...I still prefer Nokia interface...so far I am enjoying with my great 6600...SE...not my cup of tea...

normally people will prefer to buy 3200 because of its much cheaper price...digital zoom is not that important...it can be done by using pc software...

some will say 7250i have a prettier design...but it just depends on each opinion...for me...both are very ugly...(maybe can be said that 7250i is not as ugly as 3200)...

but there is a very bad point of 3200...its housing and camera protector is very easy to get scratched...not a little scratch...but very serious...

1MB of memory...is you take a high quality photo...I think...about 50 pics??...however...the phone won't let u use all the momory is storing photo...it will only allow u to use about half of the remain memory to store photo...so...I think is about 20 pics could be store...

movie??...u should never think about it....

3660 vs 660 screens ?

is there much difference between the n6600 and 3660 screen?
both were launched together....... have the same resolution and display the same no of colors.
but the other day my 3660 screen paled in comparision to the n6600.
the screen on 6600 was much brighter and richer. too me it seemed that the 6600 truly displayed 65k colors and mine only 4k.

is this common or just my phone? any 3660 user who has compared it to a 6600

anyway to adjust the brightness of the screen. settings allow only contrast regulation on my phone.
__________________
ya right...the 6600 screen will be looking a bit brighter than the 3660 one...

__________________

__________________
6255 looks really good ...but :S the screen is still small...why do nokia do this...evey other company has biger displays in the clamshell phones..another thing is its really nice to have flash, but a 1.3 mpx camera with it would look even better..btw this phone is much better then 7200 in specs, but I dont like the design that much its like a box...moto and samsung have great designs for clamshell phones...but thats good fromm nokia as this is only there second clamshell
__________________
6015 would be good with a 128 x 128 screen
__________________
hoping nokia bring some more clamshell devices to the european marked... looks nice, but everything can be better...
__________________
Nokia 6015 and 3205 is nothing special...

6255 is a good improvement from 7200...the 128x160 screen is much more better than the 128x128....

however...why is there an antenna....so ugly...
__________________
Wow... Seems they have remembered the Americas market exist... Look at the competition between Motorola and Nokia... New BT CDMA phones... Nice!! Now I don't know which to choose..
__________________
6255... better than the 7200 as mentioned by tulang man... hehe... looking better.. =)..
__________________
Do u think these phones will be available in Asia...as well as Malaysia??

it's a CDMA phone, thats why there is still an antenna... some other CDMA phones still have antenna, something to do with the lenght
__________________
errrmmm...sorry for my outdated....can u explain to me what is CDMA phone??...WCDMA???...3G??...GSM??....and etc....
__________________
it's a network technologie used in some country's like the americas. we use the GSM cellular infrastructure and they use CDMA... both has got there (dis)advatages...

Technology Description

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a digital wireless technology that was developed by Qualcomm and uses a unique code to distinguish each different call which enables more people to share the airwaves at the same time.

Commercial introduction dates back to 1995, and in 1999 CDMA was adopted as the basis for 3G wireless systems by the ITU.

CDMA spreads the information contained in a signal over a much greater bandwidth than the original signal, a method that has been used by the military for many years. This was originally done to resist jamming efforts as well as hiding the fact that communications are taking place. It also breaks up speech into small digitized segments and encodes them to identify each call allowing for a large number of users to share the same band of spectrum.

There are already two Series 40 phones to the GSM/WCDMA network with 128x160 screen, ie. 6650 and 7600.

Nope, 7600 is Series 40 phone.

Where?? Can you provide a link to some official Nokia page which says that there's Series 45.

And 7600 isn't useless in Malaysia. It's dualmode GSM/WCDMA phone, so it can also operate in normal GSM network. Same goes to 6650.

But doesn't the 7600 have an os which looks like symbian?.. well. that's what i've always thought...
__________________
Tu!@ng Man

series 45 is unofficaly used for Nokia devices that has got an 128*160 screen and are 3G capable
but Nokia just called them series 40.

quote from forum nokia site (developers site nokia)

"Series 40 phones implement a number of different user interfaces. The most common user interface in
the family has a 12-bit (4,096) color display with 128 x 128 pixel resolution, as found in the Nokia
7210 mobile phone. Series 40 devices also include resolutions of 128 x 160 pixels (the Nokia 6650
imaging phone) and 96 x 65 pixels (the Nokia 3510i mobile phone). Other resolutions may be
introduced in the future."

yes and no, you have a choice, 1. You leave the menu like it normaly is. the icons on one row down and when pushing down you get the other menu (like most nokia's).
or 2. you get an 3x3 menuicons on one screen, so you can use the arrows to go down, left, right and up to go into another menu all in the same screen...

7600 is expensive like hell in Malaysia just because of it is a 3G phone...of course it works in Malaysia...but it is no point to have 3G here...if it is not built under 3G...definitely it will cost cheaper and I will go for it...

in belgium the same, cost 550 Euro, sad, sad sad

I really like 7600 design....so unigue...so far I haven't seen anyone holding a 7600....I think it is really too expensive...
__________________
Tu!@ng Man

520 Euro is too much money for a series 40 phone. You can buy other mobiles with more features for that money... but it's the design/fashion series of nokia and those always cost a lot more...

Have you seen the 7600 in real life?.. I saw one.. and I gotta say it looks cheap... especially the part which tries to be leather...

The resolution of the primary display is 128 x 160 pixels, with 16-bit color depth (65K colors). When the device is closed, a secondary display is visible with a resolution of 96 x 65 pixels and 12-bit color depth (4K colors).

__________________
Hmmm, interesting thread. I conclude some of you maybe work at N, since you post such detailed responses.

Someone comments regards the 6255, "the screen is still small...why do nokia do this..."

Does size matter? :-)

OK, I will wander over to the window and see if any Finnish birds are chirping on this subject..

They disagree. It isn't small. This is at least an average size display in absolute (not relative) terms for a clam phone shipping into any region, except Japan, or possibly Korea. In relative terms (screen size/clam phone size) it is slightly undersized compared to best-in-class.

Clam phone displays typically ship around 1.9" diagonal or smaller, but they are creeping up to 2.1" and 2.2" in the very high tier clams. In Japan however, they have gone above 2" some time ago - after all who wants to look at downloaded photos of super hot Japanese "Idol" girlz on a small screen!

Let's guess and say the 6255's display is about 1.8" to 1.9" - not bad.

If you want to take shots at the 6255 displays, start with the pixel map. Go figure. A 120x160 shipping into a market that is at QCIF+ in the mid tier, with QVGA displays starting to creep in in the high tier?

For God sake, Moto shipped the T720 close to 2 years ago, and that had a 120x160 display of similar size, although it wasn't TFT.

You gotta love Nokia for coming in with lagging-edge technology (which costs a lot less, and far easier to source in volume than leading-edge tech.). However, one has to ask: lately has the market given Nokia a kick-in-the-teeth message that it is tired of Nokia's lagging-edge technology?

The display is TFT of course, but the optics (color strength, balance, and contrast) are not best-in-class. Compare this phone next to a v300/v600 family QCIF+ main display and you will see what I mean.

In terms of display brightness, rumor is the 6255 main display is very well lit.

The external display is not nearly as well lit, and suffers also from somewhat sub-par optics. Is it TFT? I don't think so.

However, the phone is nice looking, far better than 7200.

*chirp*

errrmmm...sorry for my outdated....can u explain to me what is CDMA phone??...WCDMA???...3G??...GSM??....and etc....

from what i know, the most common(GSM) phones are based on GSM technology which is mostly for relatively smaller areas of dense population(eg. like cities, which aren't big, but have lots of people in them).

CDMA is for more widespread signals, and since north america is widespread population evenly all over it, CDMA is more popular as it works better over there

W(wideband)CDMA is one of the few technologies that fuels 3G

3G is third generation mobiles which means video calling.

However, the phone is nice looking, far better than 7200.

matter of tastes really. I mean, the 6255, though it's CDMA, it's got an antenna, which IMO looks really ugly. Then, IMO, 7200 looks unique and quite cool.

so, you cannot just state "far better than 7200"
__________________
'so, you cannot just state "far better than 7200" '

Hmmm, how do I like this latest play?

The Mainframe protests too much, methinks. (protests any less-than-worshipful comment on the 7200, yes protests in posts here, and there, and everywhere!)

Do you monitor the Forums 24x7 for any negative comments on the 7200, jumping out to post seconds after you figure the honor of this beast has been offended?

You gotta be on the product team, OR you were crazy enough to buy one and now it is really starting to bother your pyche that few others were equally foolish?

:-)

no. i dont have one. and i didnt buy it because its nokias first flip.

but i like its design.

if you did not understand what i was saying, well, i was saying that not what you said was unreasonable, but rather, how you said it.

you could've told everyone that you reckon it looks far better than a 6255 and i won't give a horse's hair. but you can't just state it as if it were a fact, and to prove its not a fact, i stated my opinion

The Mainframe protests too much, methinks. (protests any less-than-worshipful comment on the 7200, yes protests in posts here, and there, and everywhere!)

i protest too much? well tough luck. but if you think i protest too much against people who diss the 7200, i'm here to correct you. i don't. what i do is i open a thread of a title i find interesting, i read the comments, and reply to those comments or the root comment.

is that not what you do, Birdie? read a thread and reply with your own thoughts and opinion?



Do you monitor the Forums 24x7 for any negative comments on the 7200, jumping out to post seconds after you figure the honor of this beast has been offended?

no, i don't. i'm not some maniac who searches for the 7200. and i don't monitor the forums 24x7. I HAVE A LIFE.

and by the way, that chirping finnish whatever stuff is very annoying to me, just thought you'd like to know.

about nokia 1100

Does anyone know if Nokia 1100 has ringer ID? I thought it didn´t, but in the review posted in this portal it says yu can assign different ringer tones to the entries in the phonebook (?).
Anyone who can confirm/deny that for sure? I also would apreciate any information you´d like to give if you have already purchased this phone... Thanks in advance!

it's possible to do that, you just has to assign that to the name in your phonebook...
