I think that it is about time that Nokia made some reliable phones.

[gophermaster]

How do the dumbasses at Nokia even manage to breathe?

I've got to get my third N-Gage. It will probably take another 3 or 4 weeks because the dumbasses at Nokia can't even figure out what shoe goes on what foot.

At around 10:00 PM last night, I decided to turn my N-Gage's profile to "Offline," and what does the phone decide to do? It turns itself off, and now it won't turn back on (Yet again). You'd think if you were to add a profile into a phone, you'd at least test it out before you put the phone on the market. Nokia are a bunch of dumbasses. I'm sick of my N-Gage breaking down after only around 2 or 3 months of use. What a load a crap, my 3310 has lasted around 4 years, with a lot more use than the N-Gage got. Start making some reliable phones that you can actually use without it breaking down on you. It's just common of Nokia, the phone breaks down when you need it. How many of the simpletons actually work there? Put down your yo-yo's, turn off your "Kings Of Crunk" album, and do some god damned work.

I spent all of last night, just lying there awake staring at the ceiling, just thinking about how useless Nokia are, and how much I loathe them. I thought, the dickheads at Nokia don't even think up their own ideas anymore. Fire all of the designers and whatnot. Just hire one person to monitor this forum for all the ideas that you need.

And what the hell is the point of the "N-Gage QD"? It's only appealing to the pre-pubescent (unless of course you release some games aimed at people over 10), stop releasing phones that nobody cares about. Pfft, QD, Nobody gives a fuck about your shit marketing/propaganda schemes, sticking on a latin word, does not make your phone good.

Look at the hype for the N-Gage (all being direct quotes):


What games can I play with the Nokia N-Gage game deck?
Currently there are more than 30 high-quality branded titles in the game deck catalog ot MMC-card games (sold separately)

Yeah, I'm sure that there are more than 30 "high quality" branded titles in the game deck catalog ot[sic] MMC-card games. Sure thing, your not half lying your ass off there are you? Watching a dog swimming in water is more amusing then playing your dodgy games.



Who was the Nokia N-Gage™ game deck created for?
It was created for people who love gaming and are particularly interested in multiplayer and online gaming. The N-Gage game deck is perfect for people who would like to combine their game deck with some of the other portable devices they use, such as phone, mobile browser and PDA, MP3 player, and others.

The N-Gage was actually created so Nokia could suck more money out of it's unsuspecting victims. The N-Gage is for people who wish for an unreliable device, that can do the bear minimum of what other devices can do.


[quote]What are the key features of the game deck?
As a high-quality, interactive mobile gaming device with excellent phone features, it incorporates gaming-optimized functionality and design including Bluetooth wireless technology, which enables local multiplayer gaming, and GPRS, which offers the possibility for gaming over a wide-area network.

Another key element of the game deck’s appeal is the ever-growing catalog of branded, high-quality games. Other key features include: a color screen (176x208 pixels with 4096 colors), a digital music player (AAC/MP3 files) and a stereo FM radio, Nokia Audio Manager PC software for managing music files, an easy-to-use user interface, a comprehensive range of applications including personal information management tools, email, XHTML browsing, and multimedia messaging (MMS)[quote]

High quality my ass. Ever-growing catalog of branded games, eh? I don't think that it has had an "ever-growing" catalog. And all your games have been cheap thus far. A digital music player? NO shit. Most music these days are digital. Comprehensive range of applications? Let's just leave out the fact that most of them are completely useless.

And what the hell is wrong with your FAQ? Nobody asks those damn questions. Stop writing things that nobody would ask, just to make your devive appear better than it actually is.

Ergo: For those wishing to buy the N-Gage because it sounds good. Don't buy it. Invest your hard earned money in something different.

[tzeonn]

hey gopher, relax a bit k, u are scaring the newbies! :lol:

and ngage QD is wat seems like a smart move (to me, no offense).

i gotta agree, fones, especially color fones, haf more probs then most non colors ones. thats how its it with technology. no fone is perfect.

i still rem, i had a chat wif one of the mods here, we both shared the same view; 6510/8310 are the best fones. no doubt, it lacks color screens and such, but, its stable then most fones (not exactly that wif 8310 :rolleyes: ). the more functions and better the specs, the higher chances of it being unstable.

about ur ngage prob, im real sorry to hear it. im sure u will agree wif me, that ngage is a v v good fone. some how, might haf something to do wif the nokia at ur place, i must sae, u r pretty unlucky.

btw, u tried to make ur fone work (wifout mmc and stuff)?

i hope u relax a bit, and ur fone gets fixed soon.

[gophermaster]

Yeah, I'm settled. I should have got on NokiaFREE last night and typed it out, lol, it would have went on for ages. :rolleyes:

Yeah, you are right though, the N-Gage is a very good phone. But I find them to be unreliable, only lasting me a couple of months, before I have to get a new one, and yeah, I tried all of the usual stuff, and it still does not work. It just stays on with the Nokia logo and the backlight permanently on, I have to remove the battery to turn the phone off. I guess it's useful for a torch at the moment, but that's about it.

Anyways, it's cool. I'll inquire as to upgrading my phone.

[tzeonn]

man, u shld get a replacement set, the prob could b in the fone in the 1st place, and it nv got fixed.

or try another nokia ctr?

good luck :-P

[leespud]

my first port of call would be a nsc to get a firmware flash see if that would fix it, ive had no trouble with my n-gage at all!! not even with a 256mb MMC in it

YAY i love my 8310

[deviat0r]

I have to agree with gophermaster, why do they keep adding new all singing and dancing features to thier phones when they are struggling with the basic features?

They should spend time fixing and improving not provding even more phones with even more faults.

One thing I have noticed is the quality of the firmware has really dived. I look back at my 6110 and the like and I see a phone that worked as it should (even when dropped, which has happened a few times! :-o The screen never lieks that.) it was quick to navigate around the menus and felt right.

The new phones are slow, (I often find that when I use shortcuts, I am too quick for the phone!) so as such I end up having to do it the long way or pause in between key presses. On top of that, were is the consistancey??? It's no longer there! Let me explain, (this is just a very small example I discovered the other day and one of many) if I use the 3510i and select the general profile, it beeps to confirm, when I enter the discreet or silent profile it also beeps to confirm. Why? Surely if the phone is in discreet or silent it shouldn't beep? Even to confirm.

I find it very difficult to navigate some of the new phones because there appears to be a lack of standards and testing. It's almost as if each part of the phones software is given to a different person and they never talk or meet until it's time to throw the firmware together.

I would say that Nokia needs to build quality products in the first place, like they used to!

Compare the 6210 and the 6310i, the speed difference when going around menus is enermous. The only reason I went to the 6310i was the bluetooth, not because I thought it was a better phone, because it ain't. In fact I couldn't even get bluetooth working until I flashed it up because of 'an issue'. In other words they issued a knackered firmware, took our money when we bought the phone and then fixed the problem later, because they were too busy designing the 'all new' nokia with built-in phone box, coffee machine and is capable of translating 40 different languages but is no longer capable of being a phone anymore.

Another point, 7650 nice phone for it's time (although again buggy). Why o' why did they add bluetooth that doesn't support voice???? Thats like installing Windows 3.1 on a top spec PC and wondering why non of ya USB devices work!

Is it just me? Or do other peeps think the quality is suffering all to keep up with the jones?

I would say, reduce the number of models and get them right! Quality over quantity. I'd pay extra for a phone that works over a phone that doesn't work that I need to upgrade in 3 months to get the features I have already paid for.

Sorry this has turned into a bit of rant, but I feel better now I've got it off my chest.

Dave!

[gophermaster]

LOL! Well done mate!

I'm just sick of Nokia releasing dodgy crap. Or a brand new phone with just one little extra feature.

I'm using my 3310 at the moment. Most reliable phone that I have had so far...

[aussie]

Hahaha, i liked the Windows 3.1 on top spec PC with no USB support example, lol, that was good...

The answer i think is competition. There are lots of contendors in the Symbian Market, and thus there's always a push for things like, higher resolution colour screens, megapixel cameras, radios & mp3 players, application support etc, to be in the new and emerging phones.

I believe Nokia is good at introducing a concept at first, but when they release more "upgraded" versions of the same concept, they fail.

Example, 7650 was one of the first camera phones from Nokia, and i think it was stable(apart from a few minor glitches), and it also introduced the Symbian concept to the world. It was introduced around the time of the SE T68i (256 colours, lousy camera. But then came the 3650 (lousy keypad, N-Gage - bad implementation ; taco style of talking on the phone).

But i do agree with you, Nokia have got to stop taking shortcuts with their phones, and make proper phones...

Cheers

3. Don't like it how Nokia is lying on www.n-gage.com about the games that already have been released (not counted those which are "pending")
4. I've lost hope for the N-Gage 1 month ago. I have a bit faith, seeing that the N-Gage QD might guarantee (how do you spell it?) a few more games along the course of events
5. Even my mum says the 3315 is the best, that "it does the job and that's it". She never had a problem with it. I ran through a few problems with the 6600 (sometimes it turns off by itself! wtf?)
6. Yea. Tzeonn sort of gave me a few ideas. I saw the O2 XDA II i-mate Smartphone. Looks nice. I might set my eyes on one of these in 2006. I'm breaking away from Nokia soon. Just because the majority public uses Nokia ... is Sony Ericsson any good?
7. Tzeonn, I like your new display pic!

ive already slipped from nokia any way, doubt i will buy another still got my 3650 lying about unused, 8310 i occasionally use where i fear my "smartphones" may get pinched, my n-gage since when was that a phone???? its just my mp3 player now!! my main phone is my 02 XDA-II bit bulky but i have absolutely no complaints about it also firmware upgrades!!! no trip to nsc when update release just plug the XDA-II into cradle and run the setup.exe!!!

@ nk_au - SE in my opinion are very good!! i had my heart set on the P900 but i got a top deal on my XDA-II (£119), only problem is UIQ isnt as popular with developers as s60 although the market is picking up

[tzeonn]

u guys shld take a look at those windows enabled fones from motorola too, and not forgetting the samsung D710 (leespud, noticed tis fone nv leaves my mouth whenever i recommend fones :) ). man, i miss 7650, and tis samsung model is starting to gif new hope to me again ;)

True. Add lack of a MMC and you have my current state of mind. HOWEVER, 7650 is yet to fail me. Some apps fail, true, not Nokia's. I flashed it immediately after getting is so I have no idea if 3.* was unstable.

Anyway, all I ever got was Nokia phones. You wouldn't catch me dead with an Motorola or Sony-deadicson. And ya know why? Nokia used to mean something. It used to mean quality. It was the Mercedes of phones. "Aw, look at my phone!" "Blah. It's not a Nokia" "yeh..."

That's how it used to go. Now newer phones form people who didn't use to count start to match my 7650. Better batteries, camera contras/luminosity, multi-shot, better quality, etc etc etc. Fortunately they don't do movies but SOON, REAL SOON I'll be out of arguments and finally agree that his non-Nokia, 1/3rd price, long lasting battery phone beats mine at just about everything except the silver logo.

Ya know smth, screw the logo. One of these days ...

[BuLLDoGG]

personaly im waiting for samsung to launch its D710, if the price will be good i'll probably change my 6600 for that one! I had samsung T100 before and beleive me or not i haven't encountered a single problem! works gr8, and that was jst T100!
I was a fan of nokia had 8210 8310 7650 now 6600 and mayb gna buy QD (cos its cheap :-P ) but their upcumin fones suck badly, so wats the point of getting crap nokia? for a name? i'll better get samsung

[Ndi7650]

Oh and another thing.

As soon as the blasted phone will top mine, SonyErricson will buy a top Nokia designer and it will also LOOK better. Now that I will not have.

[gophermaster]

Okay guys.... I'm officially stunned. It's 21:54 28/04/2004 here in Australia. 5 minutes ago, I was viewing this very forum, and I notice that my phone had just turned itself on... Yes. It Turned itself ON! For absolutely no reason, I didn't touch it or anything! It just turns itself back on, and I was like WTF? It's formatted itself and I lost all my contacts and all of the settings... but all in all, It's All Good!.

But I still don't take back my previous comments about Nokia, they still make phones that do strange things.


P.S. And just in time for the gaming season! w00t!

[[R]ubow]

This keep me wondering... why people still use Nokia eventhough it's like making a fool out of its customers?

[Ndi7650]

Turn on might be some alarm or calendar popping. I don't know about formatting, maybe it's a phone fault, like dropping it before. And if you have a 6600, maybe your *, 3 and CALL were stuck :P

Wait. I have a better idea: let's spread hoax panic! Someone formatted your phone remotely!

Wait! Even better. Your phone got flashed with a version that informs FBI of everything you have with OOB data! :lol:

Ignore me, I didn't get enough sleep last night.

[deviat0r]

ubow']This keep me wondering... why people still use Nokia eventhough it's like making a fool out of its customers?

For me there are several reasons......
1. I have been with Nokia since I had my 1st mobile years ago
2. They always had a name associtated with quality, unfortunately in my opinion since DCT4 the quality has suffered.
3. They are normally easy to use
4. They are the most popular phones, so software/tips/tricks/upgrades etc; are so readily available for FREE (more importantly)

The DCT 3 phones had just got it right. A lot of good features (missing some new ones) fast and easy to use. Nokia aimed the product at people that wanted quality & reliability. These days they are more interested in knocking out as many phones as possible regardless of if they work properly or not. At the end of the day if they don't work, then the user will be encouraged to upgrade! It's like a selling a car with 3 gears waiting for the customer to come back 6 months later to buy the car with 5 gears because he needs to go down motorways. The 1st car should have done that to start with, but there again they need to make thier money. I am affraid the world is going this way, just look at Mico$oft, how many products have they realised that don't do what it should?? (Best example of this is Windoze ME, it's windoze 98 with a few 'extra' features!)

We are now living in a disposable society. If it don't work properly, bin it and buy another! A few years back if ya tele broke you'd go and get it fixed, these days a chuck it in the bin and go and buy a new one!

This then puts pressure on the manufacturers to produce the phones (or whatever) with the latest features before the other manufacturers do. So they rush out a product that shouldn't be seeing the light of day!

Another rant! This threads really hit a nerve with me!

Dave!


Oh yeah, another reason to choose Nokia, what other choices are there????? The competition just hasn't got that edge yet, but saying that, nokia are losing there edge. So eventually we might have a company that releases a phone that is properly tested and designed! A lot of these faults could be ironed out if Nokia (or whoever) released a beta phone to people like us for testing and reviews.

[[R]ubow]

Hey everyone... I remembered something and will tell you all...

During the days of Nokia 3310, my cousin ever bought one that was custom-made!!! I can't really remember what are the customed features but it was really true!

So, is it possible to do such a thing today? We can re-invent our own phones to meet our taste and requirements... e.g. Samsung or Sony Ericsson to have Nokia's 'user-friendliness'...

The only bad thing is that we will have to forfit the waranty... but we surely don't have to wait for other mobile phone companies to snatch Nokia's top designers...

P.S. If I wasn't wrong, the phone was a hybrid of 3310 and 3315... but was definately a 3310!

[Goshogun]

What i think about nokia they see us as phone beta testers...am i right?

Lets see the 7650...low memory but nice design! now they released the 3650 with a memory card support and a funny design with a round key numbers...

The latest symbian phone from nokia released...6600 with good stuff! thats great! zoom camera with 15 sec record (why not unlimited recording??) but slow in some ways...im fine with my 6600...

6620 realsed in the US...more memory with stereo, pop-port and some new stuff that make it better than 6600...i heard it will only be released in the US...phew...

7610 will be released soon, with a strange keypad (stupid nokia) but 1 megapixel, more memory and i think its faster and more stable than 6600...right?

Ok...the N-Gage released last year...people started complaing about the taco shape, side talking and changing the games...maybe about the price also...

They released the N-Gage QD and fixed the side-talking, swap games and they rounded it to look better...nice...but they removed the mp3 player and the radio i think they removed something else to make it a gaming device only! hah! that just like a handheld with a symbian phone attached to it...how do you want it to go cheaper? i know you still can play mp3 by installing mp3 players..but...ow well i don't think nokia will have there own device testers.

Well...thats what i think.

[Pou_pee]

The reason I got Nokia Symbian fones was that it's cheap compared to others with the same feature!! (due to those expensive s40 fones and those often upgraded versions, i guess :-P )

If not then I'll absolutely go for SE P900, XDA2, SX1 and so on

[gophermaster]

LOL. Forget rational explanation! It's Nokia!

I guess that Symbian attracted me mainly because it is cheaper than the rest, and the possibilities that you can do with them are much greater than that of the S40 phones.

The main reasons that I have stuck with Nokia is that, They used to make really good phones, now their phones are just plain old good.

Also, you can get a lot more programs and stuff for Nokia phones.

[nk_au]

I have a Nokia 7250 and Nokia 6600. Not sure what to do everyday with these two phones. But I do bring the 7250 to school because I attracted too many student's attention to my 6600. :lol:

So ... 7250, and 6600 used somewhere else. I'll figure out where to use it soon :p

But my next phone ... not Nokia. Going to try something out. Possibly Sony Ericsson or a O2 phone, one of their PDA Windows Smartphones ... :-D

Peace out,

[gophermaster]

My next phone probably won't be a Nokia phone. I've had enough of Nokia and their bullshit.

[ki-adi-mundi]

I completely agree with the general flavour of this thread... there is no excuses. It does seem that as mobile phones have moved away from more hard coded firmware to OS based systems, that reliablity has declined greatly.

[rant]
Its kinda like video's and dvdz. dvdz are great and put the good ole VHS to shame in almost every regard, except for one thing and that is reliability. We've all had times when trying to load a dvd hired from the local blockbuster only to have it spit back out with "disc error" give it a few more shots and sometimes it'll go, most times you get nothing. Even if you do get it to go, it'll most likely freeze up during the most pivotal part of the movie. At least with a video it'll pretty much always play unless the tapes completely chewed or cut. You might get a bit of crap, a few seconds of shaky picture and bad tracking, but VHS are more fault tolerant.

Same goes for the good ole phone. My 3210 is still going strong, bugger all features, but its never put an error up on the screen.. and its certainly never turned itself off, even after being dropped. I'm afraid if I drop my 3660 it'll never startup again. Surely its not rocket science.. There is not enough testing being done on newer phones before release date.. it seems this trend is happening everywhere as market pressure and competition are pushing companies to release products before they are ready, only to piss off us users who want to use _every_ feature advertised.

I'd much prefer to wait a few months and get a better product that works rather than have the latest really cool bug ridden paper weight.

If my phone turns itself off again, I'm going to send it back for sure!

[deviat0r]

i just like nokia cuz they're easy to text with... :D

Yeah but even texting has got harder! The old phones, you select reply and you get a blank screen up. With the new ones, you get the automated replies, then select blank screen. Another step and lets face who actually uses these replies??? I certainly don't, why not give us a blank screen and then give us a dictionary of useful phrases on the under a menu option. And why is it so much more hassle to clear the text out after writing it?? You need to go back to the menu and select 'clear text', where as older phones, you just pressed and hold the delete key! Now when you press and hold the delete key it just deletes it word by word, takes for ever!

If thats easier, then Micro$oft write secure, efficent and reliable code! :lol:

Dave!

[frostieatsicrem]

fair enough, but my 6600 doesnt do that... the only thing i hate is that it takes ages for it to come up. from the time i click 'reply' or 'new message' it takes about 5-10 seconds to actually get there. which is a LOT when you're actually sitting there waiting... grrr

[fnvillafuerte]

...it takes ages for it to come up. from the time i click 'reply' or 'new message' it takes about 5-10 seconds to actually get there....

Maybe you stored a lot of read messages in your inbox. Your phone's messaging function will slow-down significantly if read messages stored in inbox is a hundred or more. To make your "reply" and "new messages" react faster, follow these settings:

1. Go to Main Menu -> Messaging.
2. Click Options -> Settings.
3. On the "No. of saved msgs.", put any number not greater than 50.

"Hope this helps... :)

[frostieatsicrem]

i've got 3274 messsages at the moment. occasionally back them all up on my computer and clear them all off the phone, but its still pretty slow. just learnt to live with it :rolleyes:

well well, after reading all u guys post in, yeah, think nokia is really shitty. wished that we can provide this link and let them read.

they jus dun care about their interface, whether its flawed i mean, to them they probably ask back themslves, ' would it fuck?' hell no. they release the phone anyway,.....anyhow.

yeah, they r a bunch of blood suckers. i dun think they are good at after-sales service too (they are good at after-your sales services though.)

btw, is 8310 really good? most of my peers and myself keep changing the lcd. the display jus disappears! there goes the same for my 8850 (i cant forget, US$180 for a new housing). good ol' nokia.

anyway, i feel that 8250 (ugly blue-lit backgrd though) and 3310 are damn durable fones released by nokia. 6610 and 6100 are not so bad too.

My 6310i once got run over by 26 tonne lorry, probably about 3 tonne of weight on it. The only thing that went wrong was that the battery is now a touch wider and a incy bit thinner, you could pprobably call it an improvement!!!!

[gophermaster]

Lol. Last time that I turned my phone to the "Offline" profile... It wouldn't turn back on. That's the last time that I am doing that.

yeah, my pub phone will be my 8250. not my 6600. too big for my pants or jeans! i cnt imagine the idea of dropping it wen i funk out the nite!

[reficul_x]

Lol. Last time that I turned my phone to the "Offline" profile... It wouldn't turn back on. That's the last time that I am doing that.

u guys may seriously think of getting a gba sp and a flash cart. i got that and i feel gba has really a lot of good games! furthermore the roms are sooooo easily available! n the release for the games r MUCH QUICKER (mark my words thy nokia!).

gba sp yeah!!!! (of cos oni yeah with the flash cart!) :lol:

[leespud]

i got the standard gba but i cant be arsed to just cart it around with me, i really dont like the sp it has no "feel" to it!! its so small and fiddly

[k2bk2b]

This is really good news to me... LOL!!
Ever since i sold of my 6600.... i've been really happy trying out diffrent fones and brands.
Well siemens sx1 wuz a total nightmare.
Tried so many phones i cant possibly remember....
A few good ones worth mentioning are Samsung e715 Flashed to e710,
Video recording r excellent thought a tad be short... 9secs? cant really remeber... but with that phone... my video recording play backs wassent like nokia... all dotted and laggy, if u notice..
Played with xphone by o2... which is good except TERRIBLE batt life..
now amd happily using motorola mpx200 till i find enough money for Sharp gx32...

To me nokia is making a fool outa everyone. Especially u guys here who really use the phone to the max.
Look at the diffrent brands Available now... with 200+k colours????
Why is nokia still stuck on 65k and the ARUGH 4k ?????
What is seriously wrong?
Even with upcoming fones like 7610, 1.3 mega pixel and they use it on a 65k colour screen.
Damm! fones from korea, china, hongkong, japan, europe Are already on 246k COLOURS!!!
Nokia likes making upgrade version of phones...
example, n-gage to QD,
9210-9210i
7250-7250i
6600-6620(which thank god wassent released in asia)
now 6600 to be replaced by 7610.
All this things they do destroys the market value of the phone u buy when they launch it.
Been thru all the symbians on nokia... 4models 5 if u include 3660, Couldnt they get it right???

U wont believe the amount of nokia worshippers over here in singapore.
Damm folks here only know about nokia....
Idiot proof phone... is that why everyone likes it????
Throw them brands like Pantech, innostream, sharp, nec, etc....
they go.. huh??? what is that???
OMG!! village idiots......

WOULD u believe that in singapore and malaysia the new nokia 6230 is worth more that the motorola or the o2 xphone smartphone?
6230-mp3 support, mmc expandable still series 40
mpx200- o2 xphone --windows smartphone, sd/mmc support, mp3s, video playback on bigger brighter screens.

YEt... they value the ant size screen 6230? :evil:
Sigh....

Perhaps why nokia will never listen to us, we here havent got enuf people to be a majority of nokia user market to listen to.
They would rather listen to people who buy the phone coz its a nokia.
tats all.................

OHH!!! HEY TZEONN!!! havent been here awhile... now i see ur a MOD???
congrets! :-P

[tzeonn]

man! u went missing for a few weeks!!!! thanx :lol:

anyway, i juz changed my 3650 to a panasonic gd 88, i love that fone, 10000x nicer and easier to send an sms. but i still got my ngage, so im still in the symbian scene :-P

even if u gif a series 40 fone 200k colors, my ngage will beat the screen anyttime. there are many factors as to y ppl choose a certain brand, nokia is synonymous wif being user friendly, which most other brands are the opposite.

ps. 3650 was a disaster, i used a 8310 for quite a while, b4 i change to gd 88 now. lol :lol:

[kristoficus]

Been using my N-Gage since Xmas and ive reformatted the phone once through fault of my own. I find it extremely reliable and i do enjoy some of the games.

Are they sure they have over 30 games for the N-Gage? Dont think so, at least not commercially available anyway i dont think. Offline mode works fine too.

Could it be from a dodgy batch of phones or something?

[FRiC]

Off topic, but O2 Xphone is not without its problems. I was almost going to buy a 6600 when I notice the Xphone was cheaper and seemed capable of more. Oh man, what a mistake, the Xphone actually locks up when it receives incoming calls when it's near large metal objects. I've had many Nokia phones and had experienced all kinds of problems, but locking up consistently when a call comes in was beyond comprehension...

I ended up selling the Xphone, only to find out that the Xphone had no resell value whatsoever. But since the phone was only capable of locking up so I let it go anyway.

I actually like the N-Gage QD a lot...

[gophermaster]

Yeah, bugs are throughout everything. But I've just had a bad run of luck with the N-Gages.

[Seddoc36]

My 6210 loves to bounce.
Sometimes the crazy guy just jumps out of my pocket and makes for the nearest grid

...And it still works !!!!

Dreading dropping the gage

[gophermaster]

Yeah. The older phones were built really solid. I've lost track of how many times I've dropped my old 3310.
