If we put games aside..
Guys how is the mp3 playback of Ngage-qd ... I think it does require software for that! but... Is it really worth playing Songs n mp3 ringtones?

[neet_online]

Ya actually the memory thing was what i was thinking of.........k300 and k500 have so less memory that hardly any1 will be able 2 use the mp3 player seriously . So is sony simply trying to lure customers ?? . It is to be noted that LG G1800 gives 60 MB!!! USB disc and to my knowledge k500 has only 12 MB so where do they expect us 2 put all the images videos and songs ??????

[neet_online]

Iam not sure abt this (plz correct me if iam wrong ) but i have heard that LG gives a good stereophonic headset free with their MP3 sets . Is such an accessory available with the k300i ?????

[jugaaru]

Hows the mp3 feature of k750?

N gage QD dont has a mp3 playback but we can install a software which can do the job. It's called "Ultra mp3 player". The sounds are mono and not stereo but it's loud enough and the quality is ok.

Hmm.. k500i's 11mb and not 12mb if i am correct. And LG 1800 has 64mb

Still we can store some 2 songs in very good quality and some 5-7 songs in ok quality in k500i.

Yes, IMO LG 1800 is a far good model than SE500i.

[allajunaki]

See...
Here is the deal.
K500i has a better Screen and better interface,.. but low on memory and hence mp3 playback is linmited...
The reason K500i having a player is just beacuse they use a modified K700i Firmware.. the real reason for MP3 on k500 is basically for Mp3 Tonez...
So.. if MP3 playback is priority 1. then Lg is a good deal. But Lg's screen is pretty bad, from what i have heard.. the display has lot of difficulty in reproducing the colors vivd....

Funny if u think of it.. all models in market are all bloody compromises... SE phones are good with most having stereo playback and good displays.. but none are smartphones(barring p series) and very few have memory expansion.
Nokia's got all smartphones and memory upgradablity , but MONO sounds.. and all displays are stuck @ 170x240 res(symbian Series 60's native res).

Why cant they make a Smart Phone with Good big display and Stereo playback, memory expansion ??? (Hell even communicators are mono sound, except Nokia 6680,6681 and 6230)... Only phone with all criterea is basically P910i and P900 and p800 (208x320 Display, Memory Expansion, and Stereo playback) but P-series mighty expensive and no one will ever use all its features..

I have seen this 1800, it's screen LCD is OK, but we may find it difficult to see when we use it under sunlight.. also it got 265k color screen.
Even 1600 with it's 65k color screen is not that bad.

Ok if it has Symbi-60 then the avec gprs radio can also be installed.
Then is it fine to go for it .. or Is there any better fone is comin in near future with these features in the same price range.

[drgrudge]

No N gage QD has a rare combination of BT-symbian-game deck. And there is always better phones hiting the market.. so no point in waiting.. if u like the phone ..then go for it.

[rollcage]

Ya you are right ...
i checked the price it is for Rs.7350 with bill, btw wat is the price of E398.
but i hav to take it in 10-15 days time.. so i am lookin at options..
i was thinkin if any nokia fone is comin with BT-Symbian that can fairly play mp3.

[drgrudge]

E398 will cost around 9k or even less.

Nokia 3660 also is a BT-Symbian which can play MP3 with this ultra mp3 player. It costs around 10k.

[rollcage]

Also i dont want a camera ....

n 3660 is very bakwas fone.


1.Which Other fones can be used to play with N-gage via BT?

2.Does card reader essentially req for t/f data to it... or other method is available?

3.N gage QD - will req other things also, 256 MMC-Card, card reader, or other?
. Can you plz. give the detailed price?

hey dude's what abt nokia 6230i... is it worth the buy...

whats the cost in mumbai grey market....

[rohanwadhwa]

Hey guys, wat about Nokia 7710?? I think it has almost everything and is priced the same as K750i and lesser than Nokia 6630 ??It is availale for Rs 20,000 /- here in D'dun with bill and warranty.

[drgrudge]

@superwiz,
6230i is a good phone and has many cool multimedia features.. though it's not a symbian.
I might cost around 16-17k.


@rohanwadhwa,
7710 costs around 23k with bill in nokia store and k750i is 20k in SE store. Still there might be difference.
6630 costs only 18.5k , so thats cheaper than both of these phones

[supernova]

Thanks Dude./

[rollcage]

Anyone plz ans this

1. Which Other fones can be used to play with N-gage via BT?

2. Does card reader essentially req for t/f data to memorycard... or other method is available like BT?

3. N gage QD - will req other things also, 128 MMC-Card, card reader, or other?
Can you plz. give the detailed price?
Also, i have heard that it cant support more than 128MB.. if it does the Phone slows down.

4. What r the things 2 b kept in mind while buying memory card!

Also i wanna know, Nokia N-gage QD is little old now, it has Symbian OS 6.1, ....
I probably req. a MP3 ringtone, BT and Symbian OS.
Shall i wait for sometime n take 3230 latter that has Symbian OS 7.0 and Series 60 v2.0,
I am not much into camera thing, ... but I like Big Screen.

Symbian 6 and symbian 7 OS does not matter much.. actually there is not much of any difference. So don't go by that logic.


Also 3230 is not a good phone..i know ppl who have used it and said it has some limitations.. the processor is slower than even 6600, bad keypads..but still if u like the phone u can go for it.

I guess 3230 and n gage almost has the same LCD size; there is not much of any difference.

Just see the nokia n gage page.. u will know wht all accessories that we get with this phone.


And regarding the MMC thing..just see this thread ..previous pages.. i have posted abt tht.

K750i = Rs. 18700 ( will original warrenty )
Nokia 7710 = Rs. 20500 ( Dealer warrenty )
Nokia 6630 = Rs. 16700 ( Dealer Warrenty )

All are mumbai rates

@rollcage
I have owned all the cells i have mentioned above and Nokia 3230.. 3230 is an awesome cell according to me.. all the features in 1.. keypad is not that bad according to me + the joystick does work very will and helpful in games.. I didnt like the Ngage QD.. older one was much better...

Nokia 3230 = Rs. 14700 ( Dealer Warrenty )


Plz do not PM me.. I cannot reply due to warning.. email me..

PS : All Prices are estimate ... Dont get onto my case for pricing now..

[supernova]

->N gage QD has a 4 k display whereas 3230 has 65k display.
->N gage QD has much better speaker than 3230. however both are mono.
-> N gage QD costs half of 3230's current price.
-> 3230 is really slow.
-> 3230 has FM where as N Gage QD don't. (but the price diff is simply too much)

[khandu]

U are right BUT

1) 3230 is not that slow as u ppl are making it sound
2) 3230 has 1.3 MP camera ( dont know what it can come into use ).. really helps
3) weighs less than QD
4) has Infrared
5) has pop-port.. hot these days.. so many addons come on pop-port
6) has MP3 and FM player .. QD does not
7) QD original games cost hell..
8) Newer JAVA technology..
9) Has EDGE technology ( future proof )

anyways i like the old Ngage too

[HellGuardian]

is there any firmware upgrade in order to remove the 510 limit in phonebook in k700i? so that it is limited only by phone memory?

[khandu]

Hmm.. firmware which expands memory of phonebook.. never heard..

[allajunaki]

See.. all Series 60 phones have standard resolution of 176x208(Exception : Sendo X series).
So Nokia 7650,N-gage,nGage QD,3650,3660,6600,3230,6680 (and multitude of Nokia smart phones in between) all run on this resolution.
Ofcourse Colors supported and Quality of screens Vary a LOT(I mean Quality is very very varied from low end to high end phones in nokia).
But I doubt the Physical dimensions of the screen will vary, coz they are all same res (Given the same res, if the screen is bigger it will only make things blurred).

And One more thing. Ngage runs on 106Mhz processor with series 60 V1.
3230 runs on 120Mhz proc. with series 60 v2
Technically V2 has some speed enchancement though its more heavy on ram coz of theme support.
So my guess is that 3230 will be faster than ngage.

[khandu]

wow.. ncie info..

see.. i said 3230 is not as slow as ppl have depicted it here.. and upgrades keep comin..

[HellGuardian]
