I hope the sound is in stereo!

GREAT SMARTPHONE!!But the design is too official,not like 3650,..

Nope,its mono.6600 is based on SERIES 60 platform,like 3650/7650.

not true.. D700 running nokia series 60 OS has stereo playback

Nope,its mono.6600 is based on SERIES 60 platform,like 3650/7650.

No.

6600 is based on Series 60 2.0 (S60--> SymbianOS v6.1. S60 2.0 --> SymbianOS v7.0s).

WOW :o ,JUST tell more about,coz in the press-realeses such thing havent said.

It also has Java Midp 2.0 (Series 60 has 1.0).
It think mono output is still there, which is too bad. :(

If my friend gonna take this for a test, i will tell more about...

I also think no.

what is True tones?

TRUE tones is a new feature,it is in N3300,it can play real melodies,clips...

Polyphonic Tones:
Polyphonic tones are high-quality, melodious tones that can play more than one note at a time to give your phone a rich sound

True Tones:
They're called True tones because they sound almost as good as the real thing. True tones can be music or just about any sound - like engine or nature sounds - and they'll be available soon for some Nokia phones.

Difference between Polyphonic and True Tones.

GOOD work.,man.

yeah! :D Thanks

what is True tones?

See more accurate info from here (http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/1,6566,040,00.html?fsrParam=3-3-/main/1,6566,1_2_7_1,00.html&fileID=3298).

So we know about the quality of sound output and it will be mp3 playable, but what about a radio? Nice feature IMO!

THe output is mono http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13953 ,there is no FM in 6600.

Ah, thats a bummer. Why won't Nokia include this? :-? Great Feature!! :D

Lee 8)

Yep, it's mono. I think i'm gonna pass this...

I'm gonna wait for Nokia's next S60 2.0 phone. If there not gonna be any interesting phone from others...

tell me one thing.. is 7650 mono or stereo? Just for me to have some comparison...

Thanks

Every Nokia smartphone has mono output.

I think Siemens SX1 and Samsung SGH-D700 only has stereo output of smartphones. I'm not sure about P800. Does it have stereo output?

Oh, if that's so, I'm not worry if 6600 is mono. I don't need a phono for giving a concert anyway... :D

I'm not sure about P800. Does it have stereo output?

Yes indeed, crystal clear STEREO sound output. :angel:
And believe me, stereo is crucial when using your phone/PDA as a MP3(Ogg) player. I used to have a N7650 which has MONO sound output, and switching to a P800 makes a world of difference.

Hehe, yes i though that P800 has stereo output.
I think i'm gonna trade my 3650 to P800 some day. :)

Is there anything on the offical Nokia site that clearly shows that the 6600 does not have stereo? I'm sure everyone is right, since they make no mention of MP3 on the info page, but it would be nice to know for sure.

I am still struggling to believe they missed this out. A Phone/PDA/Game/MP3 device does it all... so how could thet mess this up?

Nokia N-Gage has stereo output and is as much smartphone as any Series60-device.

when i tried my friend P800 damn i was so impressed by it sounds through the loud speaker and it sounds really nice even if it is full volume

:D :D

but i dunno why i bought Nokia 9210i instead of P800 :-? :-? :-?

TRUE tones is a new feature,it is in N3300,it can play real melodies,clips...

Hmm.. True Tones, plays Real Melodies?
What kind of format is it in? .wav? Or?

If its some PC sound format, guess Stereo should be avaliable since they said it was 'True' tone.

:P Its just my guess anyway..

maybe we have to wait for the next series60 version2 phone for stereo support.

i guess nokia will announce an entertainment version of 6600 after 6600 hit streets, just like 3650 and 7650. maybe the phone would be name 3600 :D

maybe the phone would be name 3600 :D


Nokia 3600 already exists. It's a 850/1900 version of 3650.

well how bout 7700 lol

if we wait and wait we will not buy anny phones :D :D :D

just buy the one that suits u

Samsung sgh-d700:
stereo
mp3
nokia 6600:
mono
no mp3

so....6600 suck and d700 rocks :D :roll:

If everything you expect from th phone is stereo and mp3, then you'd better buy mp3-player :)

PS: I think there shouldn't be much problems with mp3 on 6600 since it's Symbian and you can find and install third-party mp3 software. Mono output is more serious pitfall...

Samsung sgh-d700:
stereo
mp3
nokia 6600:
mono
no mp3

so....6600 suck and d700 rocks :D :roll:

if u just considering the Mp3 features, sure D700 will rocks cos it has the Stereo.

but if u gonna personalise ur phone to be different from the others in terms of style, themes, icons and Apps .. etc

Then think twice bout that ...

I agree 100% Matrix,people just don't get the advantage of having a Symbian powered device.There is a great veriety of third party apps available,so mp3 player for the 6600 wouldn't be a problem although the mp3 player would not be of much use bacause of the mono output :(

Samsung sgh-d700:
stereo
mp3
nokia 6600:
mono
no mp3

so....6600 suck and d700 rocks :D :roll:

but if u gonna personalise ur phone to be different from the others in terms of style, themes, icons and Apps .. etc

Then think twice bout that ...

The SGH-D700 will have that feature too,the only difference is that the 6600 will have it built in and the D700 will get it through a third party app like sLauncher.

-Edited- :D

TRUE tones is a new feature,it is in N3300,it can play real melodies,clips...

i would also like to add re the post of energy about the difference of true tones and polyphonic tones. besides the things that he mentioned, truetones is much smaller in size than the poly tones.

Well the 6600 is a professional phone like all the 6xxx phones. It's not a phone ment for entertaining. And I don't think they will make a 3xxx phone with almost same features ment for entertaining because that will may kill the N-Gage sales...

6600 doest have stereo output !!!

Yes we know.Doesn't have,right?

YEA you are right :P

The D700 will be a great phone. If you like clamshell phones - which I don't - this Samsung is the way to go! I'll be waiting for Nokia's first Series 60 v2.0 FASHION phone. Like the 7250.

I think Nokia will not realese Smartphone in FASHION CATEGORY..

The N-Gage is aimed at people who want to play games on their phone, where as a fashion version of the 6600 (like the 3650 was to the 7650) would be aimed at a different market.

I'm just hoping they keep the 6600 puck shape for it's fashion varient, more interesting that the usual rectangle design!

Nokia will definitely release a fashion phone using Series 60,in fact,i think that most of their devices that fall under the phone category(That excludes the communicator)will be using Series 60.I'm not saying that they'll abandon production of phones using older UI's like Series 40,just that they'll focus on Series 60 instead.

Look at this product matrix. There are a lot of empty spaces that Nokia will eventually fill. I'm really wondering what phones will appear in the media category! And what about a premium series 60 phone! :D

wow. :o

where did you find this scheme?

It's really great! Will nokia fill every gap?

probably not..

:o :o :o :o :o

So there will gonna be 5 communicators :D :D

i'll be bankrupt then ......

YEA good job,and there should be N6600 in CLASSIC>IMAGING category.

You can find a lot of info about Nokia that is not publicly announced in their webcasts. I got the product matrix from the ppt slides that accompanied the presentation.

@n1ghtFLY,well,i've heard a roumor that Nokia is developing 2 or maybe 3 Communicator class devices that will have the best of both worlds,the awesome QWERTY keyboard and touchsreen.

And with what money am I supposed to buy food then? :o

@n1ghtFLY,well,i've heard a rumour that Nokia is developing 2 or maybe 3 Communicator class devices that will have the best of both worlds,the awesome QWERTY keyboard and touchsreen.

can't wait for the new communicator

hope i' gonna win a lottery :D


OOT

just wondering about the Samsung D700 is it Touchscreen !?!?!

i just saw the specs on www.infosync.no and it says it does not have a touch screen

now i'm wondering if i turned the screen and what can i do with no buttons to press just the side button i guess :D :D

Nope,its not a touch screen.

I hate double posts!!!

I'm wondering if the new communicator will be a landscape phone like the old or a portrait phone like PPC/Palm/UIQ

can't wait for the new communicator

hope i' gonna win a lottery :D

Hey man, if you do, remember to share it around! :D We all want new communicators y'know! :D

LOL, sure i will share it around :D :D

im always askin myself why nokia can't just put stereo fm radio or music player/recorder in series 60 phones.. now that i saw the nokia product category matrix, i understand maybe there developing phones with each unique charasteristics and functions, so that people can try all there phones.. anyways nothing is perfect at all hehe :D

Welcome to the real world,stripped b.fly. ;)

The N-gage would pretty much beat the 6600 only if it had a camera. The N-gage has stereo output, can play MP3's and contains almost all the features in the 6600. If the size is reduced and a camera is added to the N-gage, this would pretty much satisfy everyone dont you think???

INDEED

Well yeah but it's called marketing. Different devices attract different people and this way you sell more.

This is what I hate about phones... THERES ALWAYS SOMTHING MISSING!! Why can't cant there be a phone with every thing in it?? Bluetooth, Camera, The works!!

Like Kiril said,its called marketing.

They could have fewer models but with a higher price but then again they wouldn´t have 40 % off the market for long.

In such "marketing climate" go for the runner up
they usally add value too beet the big guy

Example AMD v Intel ( soon maybe equal btw)

Thats why Siemens has so much stuff in one phone !!!!

P.S. I still can´t beleive stereo output via bluetooth from series60 is
impossible too relay too anything bluetooth enabled stereo device like
this http://www.stekorea.com/e-pro1.htm D.S.

İts very simple that nokia dont put stereo output in series 60 BECAUSE THEY USE THE MARKETING like allways we only up a little in each step and nokia and the others win money
dont you see theres no differences between 3650 and 6600 they called 3650 young phone and 6600 buisness phone this is the only difference (dont be smurf and dont say 65k k color and 6 mb bla bla) the marketing is that
Dont u think nokia can made a phone with a stereo output and 128 mb mmc and 16 mb "RAM" with built in camera camcorder mp3 player....
THEY CAAAN but they want sell the others before like n-gage and many others
Maybe they have the 3g phones but they dont sell them ... fuckin tech marketing we'll wait soo long for them

To be honest, I dont see the difference between using 3rd party MP3 player software of having it already installed on the phone when you buy it. Whats the fuss about?

The mono sound output is more of a concern but even then why would you expect stereo sound from a handset aimed at the business end of the market? The SX-1 is aimed at a younger audience hence its inclusion, and the appaling "fashion" keypad.

Actually the SX1 isnt aimed at the "young" its aimed at EVERYONE....The SX1 is the clear winner here and in my book its close to perfection!

To be honest, I dont see the difference between using 3rd party MP3 player software of having it already installed on the phone when you buy it. Whats the fuss about?

I don't think it's about the player (SW part, that is), but whether there is dedicated chip for playing MP3. And I believe N-Gage will have that, which means better audio quality, less battery used, less process time hogged from other SW etc...

I don't think it's about the player (SW part, that is), but whether there is dedicated chip for playing MP3.

Good point, i'd not thought of it like that. Having said that I do think that all of the Series 60 devices run on very similar hardware, and that none have a dedicated processor or DSP for MP3 playback.

I wouldn't have a clue about the Ngage but I dbout it? I think it just has a fast ARM based CPU which is capable of MP3 playback; i dont think we'll see it playing MP3's and a game of Tomb Radier at the same time.

Then again, i'm no expert...
