6600i coming out in spring??

[marauderx]

On some italian forum I've read some posts talking about a new 6600i coming out in Spring... That would be really piss me off.
Does anybody have news to confirm or deny?
I've searched on the net, and found some pages talking and also selling a mysterious 6600i, but then the specs describe the actual 6600 with nothing new. So can I call my 6600 a 6600i? :D

[k2bk2b]

CRAP.... Bullshit.... No such thing......

[tzeonn]

wat improvements does it haf, wat else did the forum say?

i dun tink tis is possible.... nokia wun remake any symbian fones. (cept 3660).

[Alexandr3]

I heard about the 7650i all the time, and it never existed ;)

[dj^^]

if 7650i exist..

i will change my 6600 to 7650i !!! :lol:

[tzeonn]

*sigh, i miss my 7650. looks so much nicer than the stupid 3650 im holding now....

whether 6600i is true or not, onli time will tell, but i highly believe its a hoax.

[tomrob]

If it's 6600i with stereo sound, then I'm in!!

[Teg]

6600i = you can finally use the computer's internet connection when the phone is connected via BT or IR...

j/k :D but then again...

[Jesal]

where did u see tt? sounds like a 7700 to me, wif all tt function.

[Andy_7650]

it aint on nokia's site.and most of the fones that are comin out soon that i have heard of are on the nokia site so the 6600i aint on that site a dont beleive it exists.

[leespud]

it wouldnt suprise me!!!! i want it to come out i hate the 6600 it has so many annoying features it lacks so much!!! nokia will have to release another s60 phone very very soon so spring seems a realistic date for a release, with the sx1 and sendox one the scene the 6600 is only worth buying for the 32mb mmc that comes with it!!!!!

[tzeonn]

hey... wat if.... nokia came out wif symbian os 7.0 from now on, no more 6.1???

[leespud]

hey... wat if.... nokia came out wif symbian os 7.0 from now on, no more 6.1???


well 6.1 will still run as other manufacturers are using it most popular format, not itll there are about 4,5 phones with it will it be really need to upgrade frpom 6.1, plus another problem with 6600 people wanting firmware upgrade to fix these " bugs" stopping most apps working eti the only hardware one im awareof this firware will almost certainly have some major code to stop the use of n-gage gamesso you are prob gonna have to say gaming or functionality at some point!!! if you say gaming why didnt you save a few quid and get an n-gage

[Andy_7650]

do you nopt think it would be quite good if they could upgrade your 3650 etc to symbian 7.0 but then they would lose out on money n a dont think nokia would want that lol so it probobly will neva happen

[tzeonn]

nokia will nv let u upgrade ur firmware to os7. tts the good thing bout sony ericsson, lets u upgrade ur t68m to t68mi, similar to t68i.

[Hunzol]

Man! You guys who think that there is going to be a 6600i are soo gullible, it's not even funny, you's honesltly think Nokia would even release one so soon after the 6600 release (if they were ever going to release one)??? sheesh. :rolleyes:

my reply is 7250i to that

[Hunzol]

Yeah well that's a S40 phone, there was no 7650i or 3650i only the 3660 but that's because they changed that crap keypad. Search for Nokia+Marketing on forums.

[tzeonn]

if 6600i really comes out, 6600 users will be made a fool of by nokia. i doubt its true anyway.

[Andy_7650]

and a think the word angry springs to mind if the rumours bout that fone is tru but as tzeonn said " i doubt its true anyway"
witch i agree with

[skalr]

i rarely post but i had to on this one - all i gotta say is 7650i. this rumour came out a month or so after the 7650 came out which fixed all the "problems" that users had found with it, namely the lack of memory. If anything 3650 was the 7650i and 7700 could be the 6600 upgrade but there is not going to be a same model phone with slight upgrades because thats just stupid, only if masses of people were taking them back and complainin etc would nokia do sumthin that drastic. im pretty sure they have something ready for the sendo x but lets just wait and see. 6600i :rolleyes: whatever

[tzeonn]

personally, if its a nokia fone im getting next, im placing my bets on 7700. lez juz wait and see, sendo x, sx 1 and more good fones will come out, den we can compare then.

[k2bk2b]

This is soooo lame........ ITs bullshit..... it will happen only about 1yr lastest.
Or the closest possibility would be the 6220? radio??? longer recording?

[leespud]

if 6600i really comes out, 6600 users will be made a fool of by nokia. i doubt its true anyway.


already done!! sx1 and sendox run on "NOKIA" s60 platform have loads more features and are more compatible with s60 software

[tzeonn]

6220? are u joking wif me, its not even a symbian.

[tzeonn]

yup, i seen tt info, wat i was hoping was for ppl who got those fones, to try all the app and games (ok, some, not all), and tell us if it works. details like mmc, stereo, software compatibility and ram, will help me, and im sure mani more to decide which fone to get!

[Xp | qX]

nokia will nv let u upgrade ur firmware to os7. tts the good thing bout sony ericsson, lets u upgrade ur t68m to t68mi, similar to t68i.

Yeah right SE didnt even let p800 users change their version of uiq running on top of the same version of Symbian !!!!So its not just nokia when it comes down to Symbian
Sendo X and Sx1 are not a direct competition to the 6600 due to 6600 Being a Symbian 7 Phone while Sendo X and Sx1 are Symbian 6
I really do believe that nokia will release an updated Symbian device having a lot of great futures and thats because they need to have something really great to fight both asian smartphones and M$ smartphones that are gaining ground in the market

[monty2k]

Nokia couldn't care less about existing costumers (they have too many to care), if they think the market could handle a 6600i (7700, whatever), they will release it.

It doesn't matter the name they give it, just look at the series 40 phones, inside is just the same shit, it only changes outside. This is a marketing strategy, they flood the market with "diferent" models, so when you are about to buy a phone you can choose from 5 nokias, and 1 from each of the other companys in the same price range.

All of their phones are released in BETA stages...

[Hunzol]

You have to look at the marketing side of things, if Nokia release a phone which has every feature under the sun then you wouldn't need to upgrade for a long time, I mean the Sendo X sounds good but there is some flaws with that phone as well and i doubt that it will be released in all countries.

[tomrob]

Sendo X and Sx1 are not a direct competition to the 6600 due to 6600 Being a Symbian 7 Phone while Sendo X and Sx1 are Symbian 6


and Symbian 7 does what exactly? Gives you themes? Grrrreat

About the only thing it's good for is making the 6600 incompatible with loads of software ;)

[monty2k]

All features in the 6600 from symbian 7 are covered by integrated software in SX1 and Sendo X.

An example that in this case symbian 6 or 7 is the same, is seen in SonyEricsson P800 that runs on Symbian 7.0 since it was released...

Please, just read the sendo X specs here, and you will see that 6600 is no match to it:
http://www.sendo.com/products/x/SendoX_Extended_Specifications.pdf

The only problem i see, is the lack of applications for SX1 and Sendo X, because developers will continue to develop primarily for nokia phones.

If you think that Symbian 7 only gives you themes then you probably are not informed about the changes,there is a very big list of changes from symbian 6 to 7 (and i mean symbian regardless of its UI) as far as the incompatibilities go,hey what did you expect to go from symbian 6 to symbian 7 and have everything working ? that never happens when it comes to Os's and everybody knows that

Monty2k : since you are not an owner of either Sx1 or Sendo X (i assume at least) just wait till we start hearing about the problems these two will have,as for their integrated features,well we all remember what happened when wildskins tried to give symbian 6 the skins feature that symbian 7 has so there are a few thinks thats its better when are a part of the os itself

[tzeonn]

i heard from a friend of mine, who studies engineering and stuff.... 6600 will nv be compatible wif all the old software, its a diff os, so it wun match. not even a patch or firmware upgrade can fix it, tts wat he said.

symbian os6.1 is doing fine i can see, wonder y nokia had to change the 6600 os.

Yes i wonder why M$ had to release windows xp or why did linus updated the kernel to 2.6,just a waste :P

well... the way i see it, could be on purpose... nokia is kinda sick wif all the cracks eh? lol. i dunno. we will nv noe. nokia is so smart at making money.

I've never said that those models wouldn't have problems!
You said that SX1 and Sendo X are no competition for the 6600 just because of the symbian version. I just told you to go and check the sendo specs.

I see you need an example, i can run a windows 2000 OS computer with a hell less bugs and problems that a windows XP OS computer, and still have the same features. Nem OS, nem problems, symbian 7 is should not be an issue when buying a phone, in real life usage you will not see any diferences.

And please don't you come talking about wildskins, we are talking about phone makers, with lots of engeniers working on the product, not some small company experimenting with the bottoms of the OS....

[monty2k]

Mainly to support new HARDWARE tecnologies that come out! Not software!
Phones can't be expanded in hardware...

Well then mainly symbian 7 was released to support new hardware features too wasnt it ? (as well as a few internal changes) but it is better having something integrated than putting it on afterwards isnt it ? (besides microsoft released xp not to support newer hardware cause 2k is pretty much the same in that field,but instead did a lot of internal changes to its os in the software field)
Being a big company doesnt mean anything about the software you develop and we know that well enough in the computers world too (Creative is a great example of a huge company not doing so well in the software part)
Yes i agree that both the Sx1 and Sendo have extremely more than enough specs to take over the 6600 but only time will tell and as far as i know sendo is not a very big company and this is their first symbian phone so it looks good but will it be as good as the papers say ?
Sx1 on the other hand was a fine example of how siemens can actually do what it says,ive been hearing about Sx1 even before 3650 was released and they only released it to the market a few days ago, i personally wouldnt trust a company that did that

Yes it was, what new hardware features does 6600 have?

You are wrong about XP, xp was released mainly to support new hardware and to be appealing to the personal costumer, win2000 was for companys.

I personally don't trust a company that releases it's phones in beta stages, it anoys me to be running to a NSC all the time.

I had LOTs of phones, only nokia ones had to be software upgraded (anoying bugs, destroying completly the phone usage) or hardware repeared.

Your experience with nokia may be diferent, if it is, good for you.

And by the way, i don't trust ANY company.

[defone]

"i" often means only major software upgrade, not hardware touched.

There has been slight modifications in this rule though. (7250 vs. 7250i) More memory is added etc. Anyway, hardware update is very unlikely and I think that this is a hoax.

I will 1000% agree with you on your last comment,i dont trust them either

when i mentioned symbian 7 i was not talking about 6600 i was talking about symbian in general and its reason for existing,6600 has no major hardware differences except the screen

i havent had a bad experience with nokia when it comes to s60 phones so far and ive had almost all of them (7650,3650 and now 6600)and ive only went to a nsc once (just to have my 7650's greek language)

xp was designed to fiil in the gap bitween the gaming and multimedia 9x series and the serious and stable nt series other than being a good combination of the above two it has no support for any hardware that 2k doesnt,if you can find me something that xp supports and 2k doesnt
