My new Phone

[Furr]

Well i somehow managed to lose my lasy phone somewhere between the pub and getting home by train!!, so i splashed out a bit and have ordered the T68i, looks to be a very nice gadget.

Oo - heard the menus were a bit slow; but its full colour

 

[Kippa.]

I'll have this one thx

 

[Nightchill]

those buttons look a tad ickle (on the p800)

 

[Testin da Cable]

looks nice

still got my clunky 'old' 3210

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I have a 'special edition' T10, it's special because it has a glued on spice girls sticker and the back is spray painted orange. Limited edition (lie) and all that.

 

[mank!]

I like my Nokia 3330... Townie phones own!

 

[Furr]

Bloody hell ordering online is a Pain, or more like ordering using HSBC is a Pain, Failed the credit check the first time round, although i used a platinum card!!!

So in the end resorted to ringing them up, and sorting it out.

No all i have to do is goto bed and wake up to recieve my order, God i love getting gagets in the post.

 

[wolfeeh]

mmm

nice phone that. brushed metal inserts and all that. shame about the well poncy colour

/me strokes 8310

 

[Happy Go Lucky]

Managed to get my grubby mitts on a 8210 with a horrible
brown fascia mind

One new key pad later, I'm still trying to get to grips with it
How do you get logos on the phone ?
lol.. got my area dailing code(0121) on there by accident.
I've downloaded the manual, but there's nothing in there that helps.

And..

Will the 8310 fascias work on mine ? they aer good

Thanks

 

[wolfeeh]

oi

my other phone is an 8210... and i've got the mocha brown fascia... j00 will not diss teh brown....


no 8310 fascia's will not work.

and why on god's green earth would u want a custom logo rather than the operator logo you should be displaying with pride?

 

[Happy Go Lucky]

oh so its not possible to have a network name & custom logo at the same time.. how do change that then?

 

[Happy Go Lucky]

my other phone is an 8210... and i've got the mocha brown fascia... j00 will not diss teh brown....

I prefer BLUE, not seen any for sale tho

Suppose when you get over the shock of having a brown fasica, it does seem a lighter gold brown

Getting this on day of release:

 

[caLLous]

The 7650 is a fantastic phone/camera/thing, but it's quite big (and twice as heavy as the 7210) and I'm scared to think how much it would cost without a contract.

Depending on how much it is, it'll either be that one or the 7210 I go for.

 

[Perplex]

8210 - Dimensions: 101.5 x 44.5 x 17.4 mm, 66 cc
7210 - Dimensions: 106 x 45 x 17.5 mm
7650 - Dimensions: 114 x 56 x 26 mm

Only 1cm larger than the 8210 and 7210 in each dimension. Pretty small on paper, but the dummy phones are MASSIVE. Will have to wait and see what the retail product looks like in the flesh

 

[caLLous]

Any idea how much the 7650 will retail for Perp?

What will be the price of the Nokia 7210?
The price will be somewhat higher than the initial price of the Nokia 8310 when it first came to market, and may vary slightly from market to market.

That's not very comforting, seeing as how the 8310 is £299.99.

8210 - 79 g
7210 - 83 g
7650 - 154 g

 

[Perplex]

Aye, weight is high - but again, will wait to see the retail product in the flesh before I pass judgement And yes, it's going to be painfully expensive - sim free on ebay they are selling for between £600 and £1000 atm

I'm guessing about 200 on contract

 

[caLLous]

Wow, that is a pretty high price for a mobile. Just saw £360 on ebay with just under 2 days left...

I think I want a 7210 though, we're in the 3rd quarter... it shouldn't be much longer now...

/Edit/ - Happy, um, Deityness.

 

[Perplex]

Never take mobile sales on ebay where the seller has a 0 rating as serious - it's a scam Know 2 people to have been ripped off by 0 rating mobile sellers. Look at the prices on the sellers of 7650's with an actual rating - 600£+ because they actually have something to sell

 

[Furr]

YAY got it, and it its great, nice blue back light, screensaver, blue tooth, voice activation, and more stuff, much better than, me old phone.

And its tri band

 

[bodhi]

All these new phones coming out and you know what?


The 7110 is still a better phone than all of them.

 

[wolfeeh]

dude

i'm sure your very proud of ur new phone and all that, it is indeed lovely. but. several buts actually....

screensaver : nice battery killer that....

bluetooth : which your going to use for WHAT?

voice activation : possibly handy... but have you ever seen anyone use it? there's a reason why... it a) doesn't work when your pissed, and b) have you SEEN the looks people give you if you scream "girlfriend!" at your phone... and it goes "command not recognised, please try again" - "Girlfriend!"... repeat to fade.

tri-band : data's got a first flight T68 took it to the states.... totally patchy... didn't work at all where he wanted it too, apparently only worked in one place.... v. useful.


anyway - 7210 = v. perty, but you seen the keypad design? wouldn't like to text on that.... 8910.... now THAT's the daddy (same goes for the keypad on that though, which is worse still).

 

[caLLous]

The keypad on the 7210 is... interesting. It would take some getting used to, but I don't think that it'd be a problem. It took a while to take the step from the big 6110 to the 8210 with it's ickle keys, but it was second nature within a week or two.

 

[wolfeeh]

well

i suppose it's not gonna be uber difficult given that nokia are THE usability experts when it comes to mobile phones, and i don't think they'd come up with such a design unless it was practical...

nevertheless though, when ya send as many texts as i do, and ya developed such a blistering pace in doing it, ya don't really wanna change ur keypad design at all.

 

[Recoil101]

I enquired about the 7650, on orange it will be retailing at 350quid and will be released within 2 months... I couldnt wait that long for a new phone so bought the Samsung t100..... how I wish I had waited

 

[Recoil101]

I forgot to add Nokia > *


never again will I buy a samsung or ericsson phone....

screensaver : last a few secs then screen turns off apart from a clock

bluetooth : Have No idea, but it sounds good

voice activation : Voices activation on this phone seems to work really well, and you dont have to shout, just hold down the side button and wait for the beep, then say the name

also am impress with the predictive text input, also remebers names etc that you put in, which is nice

 

[caLLous]

The 7650 is out next week in all stores I asked in today (2 Vodafone outlets and Carphone Warehouse) and it will retail for £599.99 without a sim in Carphone Warehouse.

How much on contract tho? My current contract is coming to an end and I fancy a new one
