Sweet, I got my 7610!

[thundros]

I believe that that the 6600 has infrared but the 7610 does not.

And Dazzla, really like your phone. I've had my eye on the 7610, even though I can't complain with my Motorola V525 (which I got only a few months ago). Was a Nokia user before, but needed a world phone when I went to Europe this past May, so the V525 replaced my 3100 (which did 850/1800/1900 Mhz, but I needed the 900 Mhz).

Does Nokia still have excellent reception? How's the 7610 holding up in it's mobile phone duties (call quality, etc.)?

I just noticed that the camera lens could get scratched easily (or at least it looks like it: not enough recessed). Do you plan in protecting the lens (like maybe using those PDA screen protectors)?

There's no chance of the lens being damaged, it's changebale facias, front and back, so it doesn't matter how scratched up it gets, I'l just buy another cover :D

[phantomAI]

Nice phone Dazzla, btw what digital camera are you using?

[chandru]

had the 6230 as well, only difference between 7610 and 6230 is the bigger screen and basically camera and ofcourse the series 60 platform. but sux that the 7610 doesnt have stereo sound, only mono. rather wait for the 6630. meanwhile got the k700 and thats a nice phone too.

[Matt]

damn, thats a bad ass phone.

[Dazzla Veteran]

Might as wel post some more pics taken by the phone:

Unfortunately, I still don't see the appeal of the camera on this phone - just look at the quality dude!

Phones should stay phones, and let Cameras do their job.

However, i'm thinking of getting a new phone myself (on an O2 contract when I get back into Blighty in August).

What do you fellas think of this lil beauty? http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-d410-en.shtml

My gf thinks I should go with a flip phone, so the other choice is the Samsung E700 or the Motorola V600... any opinions on either of these 3 phones guys?

[stezo2k]

very nice phone, looks well sexy :)

bit pricey though, pictures are very good for a phone, nice 1 mate

[forster]

Im guessing you are using Picodrive / GoBoy Dazzla? :huh:

[JVillanueva]

Pricey, but for me, money IS an object :shifty:

I agree to an extent. The quality isn't amazing, but it's better than normal VGA pictures. Daz, taken one in the dark yet?

As for the D410. It's huge!

Take this as an example, I had a work do last night (retirement), the drinks were flowing, classic tunes were spinning on the decks (YMCA ;) ), everyone was dancing and making fools of themselves, everyone was having a good time. Should I have brought along my A70 then took a few snaps? No, I whipped out my phone, took some snaps, took some videos and uploaded it to my bosses laptop via Bluetooth who promptly printed out some of the more incriminating evidence at work today. This is what camera phones are designed for, not for the digital photographer. So the elitists can drop the chromatic-flared-lens-abberation stuff and let the fun snaps, at the time when a Digital Camera isn't practical, be taken.

You can't look at a cam phone as a replacement for a Digital Camera, it's not, but different circumstances call for different tech. I simply wouldn't have been able to drag my A70 along and have the same effect as sticking my phone in my pocket. For when I want to take real pictures, I use my Digital Camera, for example if I went on holiday and wanted mementos I wouldn't take then pictures with my phone now would I?

I thought if it was unlocked you still needed a certain chip for your cell phone carrier to program? At least that's the understand that they gave me [they wouldn't program it unless it already had their programming on it].

[Dazzla Veteran]

Nope, not in the UK at least, I just stuck in my Orange Pay As You Go sim card and it was working like normal.

[Iain]

I agree there totally Daz. That's why I'd like a higher res cam on my phone. I just wouldn't ever take a digital camera anywhere, except for special occasions. Especially when out on the p*ss, I dont want loads of stuff with me. Wallet, keys, phone. That's it. Ruins the lines of the trousers ;)

[kak]

Ok, so you already had a SIM card that was programmed. I don't have one so it wouldn't work for me. I was looking at the Motorola V400-V600 line of phones. CellOne wants like $250 for the phone, which is basically MSRP.

[Adrian]

How do mp3s play on the phone because of the mono capabilites instead of stereo?

Output doesnt have a great deal to do with the codecs the phone can use, all S60's can play mp3's

[sSsIiImMm]

but they sound pretty crap (from my experience on my 3650)

[forster]

Indeed ;)

can u not buy sims in the US ?

we have a pay as u go thing here were u dont have to get a contract, and u just buy a number pre-programmed to a sim for like ?10

works out more expensive inthe long run mind you if u use ur phone alot:pp

*shrug* you might be stupid enuf to do that... how should I know :p

[Swiftie]

& how were you listening to them then? Hope not through Loud Speaker.

Anyway Dazzla, can you hook me up with the emulator for the NGage games plz.

Cause my 7610 has only had a few ringtones and some themes applied to it.

Some gameage, movies, mp3's and whatever else I can squeeze into the MMC wouldnt go amiss :blush:

So if you could pass on the info on the emulator, I'll appreciate it. :cool:

Brgs

[Iain]

Dapper, that'd be Warez. I hardly think Daz, a mod, is going to pass information or files onto you.
