Guest sebset Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 If Orange and T-Mobile are not ABLE to propose a new MS Smartphone to their customers then I think they will turn to Nokia or Siemens Smartphones soon... :wink: In few months 6600 and SX1 will hit European streets...

Packed with compelling features, this tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900) phone meets the ongoing demands of the multitasking, mobile workforce with personal information management (PIM) applications, secure email access, seamless file downloads, and access to richer mobile content via the XHTML browser. Launched at the Nokia Press Update event in Helsinki, Finland, in conjunction with an Asia Pacific event held in Singapore themed "Image is Power", the Series 60 based Nokia 6600 is expected to be commercially available during the fourth quarter of 2003 in Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific markets. With the latest features in mobile imaging, the Nokia 6600 has an integrated VGA camera for video recording and still image capture with 2x digital zoom, as well as a large 65,536 color display with an enhanced graphical user-interface. Users can create, send and receive multi-picture multimedia messages with Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) technology*, which allows users to compose messages that display text, sound and images in a pre-determined order. The Nokia 6600 also makes it possible to capture, send and receive video clips with audio, as well as receive streaming video content in both RealVideo and 3GPP video streaming formats. A convenient media gallery application makes access to and organization of multimedia content easy. "In an increasingly fast-paced business environment, where access to a wide range of information is a necessity, individuals must find ways to strike a balance between work and family," says Juha Putkiranta, Senior Vice President of Nokia's Imaging Business Unit. "The Nokia 6600 offers the best of both worlds - advanced business features to keep on top of everything at the office, together with the latest functionality to capture precious family moments." For users requiring reliable data connections, the Nokia 6600 offers both HSCSD and GPRS support in addition to local Bluetooth and infrared connectivity. Integrated TCP/IP technology** enhances both the ease and speed of over-the-air file downloads. Enterprise users can access email and other corporate servers through the public Internet with increased over the air security via SSL and the mobile VPN (Virtual Private Network) client, available for corporate customers. For fast access to mobile services and information, the advanced XHTML browser can be activated with a single click. The wallet application makes online payments and the storage of encrypted personal information easy, reliable and convenient. Users can shape their mobile environment by adding applications compatible with either the Symbian 7.0s operating system or applications based on the latest Java technology, MIDP 2.0. Applications can be stored either in the phone's 6MB internal memory or on the 32MB MMC card included in the sales package. The new Nokia phone is based on the Series 60 Platform, the world's leading terminal software for smart phones. Though a powerful business tool, the Nokia 6600 creates a new form of mobile personalization with user-selectable themes. They allow users to renew the look and feel of the user interface from colors to graphics and wallpapers. Polyphonic ring tones and music-like True Tones complement the customizable user interface. Optional enhancements available for the Nokia 6600 include the new Nokia Wireless Clip-on Headset, Nokia Wireless Car Kit, Nokia Image Viewer and Nokia Digital Pen all using Bluetooth technology. The complete list of functionality and optional enhancements can be viewed at www.nokia.com/products/Nokia6600 For the Europe and Africa region, the Nokia 6600 comes in two colors: light grey and rose. The 113 cc phone weighs 122 grams, and has talk-time of up to 4 hours and standby up to 10 days.
Guest rryan Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 Now that is one great phone :lol: Totally stable, small, full bluetooth, memory card slot, integrated camera and a good battery life. Where do I sign 8)
Guest Rob.P Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 Smartphone Developers better hurry up and pull there fingers out and get something similiar or I will defect :lol:
Guest capt_janeway Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 Ugly - just plain ugly!!! Just say no..............to Nokia!
Guest midnight Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 and its infected with a virus........RealPlayer :lol: seriously tho, just looks like a reworked 7650/3650 to me, and both those phones sucked aswell
Guest rryan Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 I know this is a smartphone forum and all but why are you people so anti-n o k i a? I've got a SPV and a 7650 and apart from the size the 7650 it's a great phone. 8) :?:
Guest spacemonkey Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 I think you'll find that any forum focused on a specific product line will develope a critical approach to other products... It's a bit sad, but that's human nature. As to the various Symbian offerings... there are some damn sexy phones out there, I personally don't like the style of Symbian and to me they all feel software wise, much more like using just "some old phone" where as I find the Microsoft Smartphone interface just feels like something new and fresh in the market. On specific phones I don't really like the looks of most of the "smartphones" other than SPV at the moment, I'd go for a slightly dumber phone like the Siemens SL55 ( www.my-siemens.co.uk ) now that is a sexy beast. I think the funniest dissing of what we don't have was when the forum was strongly criticising Tanagers prior to their release :lol:
Guest mattbrown Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 bluetooth bluetooth bluetooth - thats all i ever hear about - im sure most people you speak to that have a bluetooth enable phone dont own anything else bluetooth, = thats 1 arguement against the spv but if you dont have anything else bluetooth then there is no point having it (UNLESS YOU PLAN TO BUY SUMTHING BLUETOOTH ENABLED)
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 I think the only thing I'd buy that was bluetooth enabled would be a handsfree headset, and as the SPVs handsfree kit is rather annoying in the getting tangled up stakes I'd be quite tempted to buy a bluetooth hands free kit for it, if I could... But I can't, if you see what I mean. Bluetooth would also provide a more satisfactory way of using your phone as a GPRS connection when on the move rather than IR or ActiveSynch.
Guest rryan Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 Bluetooth bluetooth bluetooth. It's great for me because I can use MSN/IE/Outlook on my Ipaq using my 7650 as a gprs modem (If GPRS was working in my area - ORANGE :evil: ) If you dont have any bluetooth devices then you are right - You have no need for it. :D EDIT > Every SPV owner would benefit from bluetooth if they had a £20 bluetooth adapter on their PC. Activesync over bluetooth could mean: - Always on MSN within your home - Internet browsing - Email - Streaming radio stations - Even live tv if you have a tv card and run windows media encoder :lol:
Guest ClintEastman Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 Where are Microsoft Smartphones????? In my pocket thanks! :lol: But on a serious note, I have too many goodies to swop OS now. That’s not going to stop newcomers picking up a Nokia though.. :D

Guest TANKERx Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 I recently got my hands on my SPV and before then have been using a 7650. I have to say that there are many areas where the SPV simply doesn't cut the mustard. Now, don't shoot me down here because I still am using my SPV, it really suits my lifestyle in regards to mobile media (my 7650 has been given to my mum) but I am really disappointed with some areas of it. Being able to sort messages into folders was a big plus on the 7650, it never lost me messages and menus never took ages to appear. Editing text on the 7650 is a dream and the dictionary remembers the words I put into it. The 'Silent' profile is actually silent. I'm telling, it was an awkward moment when I realised that my SPV will still clunk a loud one no matter what. Anyway, I could go on with loads of things that are wrong with the SPV (when compared to as Symbian device), but it is a phone adequate for my needs and I'm still using it and yes, it is very pretty indeed. I just wanted to give a defence for Symbian which is an OS purpose-built for smart phones and so is bound to have more of the wrinkles ironed out. If you guys don't mind a bit of ranting and anger (I was frustrated when I wrote it), you can visit http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/phpBB2/view...pic.php?t=13304 and see what really narks me about the SPV. But as I said, I'm still using it so it's not THAT bad! :-)
Guest Coucou Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Just read your rant, have to say I agree with many things. There's too much 'Well, you can do it, but you need a third party app' with the SPV. I could create folders for text messages on my old 7110 for god's sake. Generally I think the SPV is an excellent phone but it has lots more room for improvement, I think it shows that Microsoft haven't made phones before and that Nokia have made lots. Still, hopefully they'll pick up on all those niggles and correct them in the SPV2! :) And while i'm on, why can't I charge it through the USB without using the charger or getting clever with a soldering iron?
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 Anyone remember "Music Centres"? They were all the rage in the 1970's - you got a record player, tape deck and a stereo radio all in one box. The fad lasted almost exactly as long as it took for the penny to drop - that if ONE of the components went wrong, you were screwed. Same reason that PC Chips "all-in-one" motherboards used to have a bad name. (If the onboard VGA card went west, you couldn't just plug in an AGP or PCI replacement - you needed a whole new board replacement) PC Chips boards aren't quite as sneered at now - they're still "all-in-one", but if a component fails (or you decide to upgrade it) you can simply disable the onboard feautre via the BIOS, and plug in a replacement. To "join the dots" for those who aren't already ahead of me... Bluetooth offers the same facility for phones. Want a bigger screen? Keep your phone in your pocket, and browse the web via your PDA - using the phone as a modem. Same deal with software - your PDA CAN edit spreadsheets, your SPV can't. True, the SPV does a lot of things... but it does very few of them particularly well. Bluetooth offers the chance to perform "temporary upgrades"., and it beats the crap out of hit-or-miss IRDa connections.
Guest Coucou Posted July 14, 2003 Report Posted July 14, 2003 Which will be nice when the SPV does bluetooth! :)
