Nokia phones have better resale value and in general better support through their network of service centers (although the people in these places don't know anything).

Buy your phone with bill and insurance-always pays. Between the 7710 and the 6630, choose the one which offers you all that you expect from a phone. If I'm not mistaken, the 6630 is cheaper than the 7710 but the 7710 offers more features. At the same time, the 7710 has no keypad so make sure you are comfortable with that before buying it.

I don't think I quite understood what you meant there. Do you mean to say that there are many announced phones that haven't been launched yet? Or are you talking about phones thatthey have released in other countries but not in India?

can some body give me an idea of how long the battery lasts on a full charge for the SE k500i/508i with average usage...
also are there any issues with the joy-stick?
also tell me if u had any other problems with the phone.


Hey man i have a SE k500i.
average battery lasts for around 2 days and if u surf the net of play games more than often then only a day or more if ur lucky
also the joystick in k500i tends to harden a bit making it a bit awkward to use after a couple of months.

i think the joystick in k700i is a bit more sophisticated( easy to use)

nok 7710 is tempting me most ......but the prob is its even mor bulky than qd............yup 6630 cheaper than 7710...but it lacks many features lik fm radio,battery power,etc....i only want to know is it possible to play games properly in 7710.......and till how much mmc can b upgraded...i guess 1gb is allowed

^^ magnet. 7710 is never supposed to be a multimedia type of phone. Who told it has not got a good battery power? The battery is good only.

As it's said, u will take time getting used to the type of that widescreen and using touchpad.

I guess upto 4gb can be added, but yes 1gb would do fine.

Ways to increase Nokia 6630 battery standby time !!!

Hi,
whats the standard standby time for nokia 6630? I used to get about 24 hrs.
Got the phone just 2 weeks back.

Once i read somewhere that if you remove the battery and keep it for some time (10 min), the phone ram gets cleared and stops any programs (mostly badly written third party softwares/ trialwares) that might be running in the background. These programs do not show up even when you hold the menu key.

I think it really works. Standby time jumped to about 40 - 44 hours. Thats nearly double.

Is it justifiable? Has anybody experienced this?

TIA

on the other hand sony has better speaker,better camera than nokia, its very stylish and very light around 95gm, FM but it has does not have expandable memory, resale value.

so friend can u suggest for which mobile should i go.
IF here any user who having Nokia 6600 and SE k700i then please share thier experiance.

@bendre123,
I have posted about this before..so i post it agian..

I like 6600 personally. :D

But it too has disadvantages.
- no FM/Mp3 playback (but can be done with third party spftwares)
- low speaker volume
- slow processor (but with more memory of MMC it's a bit faster)

And with k700i, we have:
- no expandable memory
- bad keypads (IMO)
- no symbian OS
- Night mode cam quality is not that good
- compactibilty issues


So see the pros and cons and decide. I personally will go for 6600 :p

I know Rogers and fido don't offer the latest models, When I go back in Aug I am buying SE 750 or Nokia 6680. They only have flip phones from Motorols, LG, Samsung.
