Ah, not Symbian. Always at least one downfall to all of Nokia's phones.

[evobit]

Aint that the fair dinkum truth. Blasted Nokia :)

[gophermaster]

Hehe, yeah. You'd think by now they would create a phone with all the good features of the other phones, built into one.

I reckon this is what's in their minds:

If they did that, and called it the Nokia X-Treme or something, then the X-Treme will be the phone that most people will buy. Future released phones will be harder to sell

It's like a Pentium 4 2.4Ghz being sold yesterday and 6.0Ghz being released today. Then the money and profit between 2.4 and 6.0 is lost ...

Know what I mean?

Anyway, from your listed features of this 6625 ... what's the difference between that and the 6600? From that data, I see that my Nokia 6600 is better than the soon-to-be-released 6625 ...

Definatly .... Doesn't matter if it's not symbian -- it's not GSM. We only have 1 network here (Canada) that provides us with 100% GSM service -- the rest are all CDMA and TDMA = crappy phone selection.

[ogie01]

just to inform you guys... CMDA has a crisper and clearer sound quality than GSM.. so to some countries e.g. USA prefer that... ;)

[tzeonn]

i said it sucks coz here in singapore, no one uses cdma fones anymore, all use sims, and i dun tink cdma can be used now in my place.

juz a difference of locations i guess.

[m0m0]

we have cdma 2000x1 in indonesia. it's good but not great. sound wise ok, but got lots of dropped calls. but the main thing is that the costs are like home phones. 1 minute of local call cost almost half of a single sms sent. at less than 2 cents a minute, what can beat that?

[OMENs]

I know I may sound stupid but whats the deifference between GSM, CDMA, TDMA, WCDMA, UMTS ?????

[gophermaster]

What's the use of dual colour screens?

[tzeonn]

I know I may sound stupid but whats the deifference between GSM, CDMA, TDMA, WCDMA, UMTS ?????

not sure, but i guess they are for diff networks? but i noe cdma fones dun use sim, u need the telco to activate the fone for u.

and dual screens? well, the outer screen will let u noe time, whos calling, sms, etc when the flip is closed. and it looks better. hehehe.

[gophermaster]

Oh, I see, I forgot that it was a flip phone. Heh.

[nk_au]

I'm keeping the promise I made now. I'm not going to buy another phone until I graduate from Senior High. If I can resist for that long ... and if no one steals my phone :-P lol :lol:

[gophermaster]

Yeah same here, I don't think that I'll be buying another phone for a while.

[tzeonn]

well, 2 factors will determine if i am getting a new fone.

1) is the fone really good?
2) do i haf the money?

seems like cash is a big concern right now.... so i dun tink i will b changing fones for a decade... :sad:

[gophermaster]

I have a decent phone now, so I probably won't be upgrading for a while, I have found something else to waste my money on.

and wats that?

[nk_au]

An N-Gage I presume ...

[gophermaster]

Yeah it's an N-Gage. Well, at least it's decent in comparison to my last phone, which was a 3530.

[sandlizard78]

So are there any tweaks, tricks, or other software goodness out for the nokia 6255?
