nokia 6600 or sony k700i ??

[tweety_bird_bunny]

i wanna buy a mob.. my contenders acc to my specs are nok 6600 n sony k700i..... what do u recomend should i buy between these 2 n why??

[koolbluez]

birdie.. I say.. if you want features... I suppose the Sony k700i rocks.. I possess a Sony k500i and it's great.

But.. beware.. the problem with SonyE phones are poor reception.

So if you are in places with low reception signals... you can undoubtedly go for Nokia...

Hey.., why don't you go for Nokia 3230. Same size screen, smaller, lighter...

At a glance :

1.3 megapixel camera (effective resolution 1.23 megapixels for image capture)

Anyways :
I like 6600 personally.
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

[Charley]

I'd go for N-6600, cos it has all the features [whatever are necessary] .

K-700 I really didnt like cos it doesnt have memory extendability, compaiblity probs.

[Nemesis]

It depends on your priorities mate!! Both phones are good so buy the one that satisfies your needs better. For example, if you want expandable memory and Symbian, then buy the 6600. However, if you don't mind the lack of expandable memory and Symbian, but want dedicated mp3 playback and FM support, then go for the K700i. Just prioritize your needs and buy the right phone

[khandu]

me too for Nokia 6600.. connecting ppl all reasons given above

[shoaibjameel123]

I guess Nokia 6600 is much better. I have seen people used it and it ranks best in terms of performance than others.

[Keith Sebastian]

Get a Symbian phone. There's so much you can do with one. The 6600 is almost dead. Get something newer.

Cheers,
Keith

[koolbluez]

No one's talked of the Nokia 3230. Isn't it kooler & better than the 6600... that too @16k

[khandu]

ofcourse it is.. but then isint 6630 better or infact 6681 or N91??

Dude.. he hasent mentioned those cells.. maybe its not in his budget..

stick to the topic..

[speedyguy]

man u d only 1 to decide here...coz really u can see it all depends on ur needs.....sony has another advntage at price tag.....my friend took n6600 n now he paying for....for everything little thing he needs he is asked to spend a lump sum on it for softwares, memory cards etc.....also its speed gradually decreases with load.....sony for u wud be 1 time investment but rem. if u have 2 kick in more memory at any COST then go for nokia...gud luk

cheers

[drgrudge]

Yeah.. speedguy is correct you might have to invest on more than you might have expected.. on softwares of symbian series 60 (unless you are prepared to get otherwise) and on MMC.

But agian..it all depends on wht features you prefer.

[rohanbee]

Personally go for the k700i rather than the 6600. Reasons explained by some of the ppl above. Also, personally i tend to favour the sony-ericsson variety always.

[gdatuk]

why would anyone compare 700i with n60 series mobiles...
guys....n60 series is a smart phone and k700i is a semi smart phone..
if u want just a stylish phone..go for 700i. it notflexible wrt to installable softwares..
n60 series is based on symbian os(just like our comps are based on windows or linux) u can install various application. watch movies...and infinity functions can be added to it...

but dont buy 6600. it is outdated..when i first came to UK 2 years ago..that phone was hype..but now no one gives a damn abt it...u can get one even for 35£.
get 6670..it costs 14k in indian market..

but pls dont compare the uncomparables..

PM me if u want softwares for n60 series...(for free)

[bharathbala2003]

wat a question.. go for a k700 i obvi. its the best outta the two..

[Charley]

bharat - It doesnt have many features that 6600 has.

[bharathbala2003]

hmm like what.. but i feel its far better.. 6600 proccy is too slow!

[Charley]

Phew, the feature like memory expandability which is very important & it doesnt have an OS [Symbian] .... Also forgot to mention it has the compatibilty probs.


All these things are very much needed and preferred, especially if I were to select .

So N-6600 is far better.

but doesnt it require ur gprs to be on while listening FM?

[suave_guy]

look here i wont compare nk6600 with k700i...coz both have their own advantages and disadvantages....

k700i is definately a better multimedia phone and also has a better camera software...also its far better in terms of 3D games...infact n6600 cant play real 3D games, better quality screen, light weight

nk6600 has memory expansion plus more software support....

my point is that dont go for nk6600....its too common now and it has no appeal left and also outdated...

btw 2 months back i was in the same dilemma but i chose k700i out of the two for the above reasons...

look out for nk3230....this is what i suggest, also nk6670 is worth a thought as suggested by someone in the previous page..

ENjoy...

Yeah .. it needs GPRS. We don get indian stations , but believe me we get really good quality music (world music) and a lot of variety as well.

[mariner]

k buddy. sounds tempting.

[fact_speaks]

come on guys some punk above mentioned that Nokia6600 is outdated it has a cool look and brillant software compatabilites no will even think of going to a S700i. See dude i brought a n6600 recently i am happy with the phone even though s700i supports Mp3 but no expandable memory so what's the use of haveing a mp3 player where y got no memory and even Pictures u are restrictied to a few pictures depending on the memory in the s700i where as in n6600 there is no limit depends on the memory card u have just invest ur money in a 128mb memory card and u will have a lot fun and free in any other mobile. And about the Mp3 player there is a third party software names UltraMp3 player download this and you will be given a 15 minutes trail time try the software in the 6600 u will not regret that u spended ur money in this mobile.

[suave_guy]

i think its k700i and not s700i ur talking about....

s700i has expandable memory and its actually far far better then nk6600....

ENjoy...

[Delpiero]

Depends on your needs. If you don't want to put songs and videos in your phone. Go for K700i. Otherwise nokia 6600 is the one for you. I have 6600 and it's a great phone. It's a shame that a phone like k700i doesn't have memory expansion.

[QwertyManiac]

delpiero's right, k700i for media, 6600 for other cool features...

[PainKiller]

i wud personally go 4 k700i...it has bluetooth/IR/usb/java/mp3/ 1 hr vid recording gre8 looks......what else u need.....i have used both d phone..n im really really impressed wid 700i.....i played some tennis game on it and its 3d graphics rocks. video n sound quality is also up to d mark....so, go 4 700i

K700i definitely. Some advantages:-

1. 3d games.
2. Stereo sound.
3. aac support (1/2 the size of mp3s, very good quality too).
4. Bluetooth is waaaaaaaaay much faster than 6600 ouch.
5. Sleek beauty (6600 looks and feels like an ostrich egg ).
6. Photos are more colorful and sharp especially daylight shots but night shots are crap, panorama view photos, flash.
7. mp4 support (it's better than 3gp).
8. Higher resolution (K700i 176x220, 6600 176x208), screen clarity and brightness is far better.

If you want expandable mem and 2 mp cam go for k750i retailing @ Rs. 18k

cheers.
