Well after using SE s700i for year and half, I finally got new phone. It's Nokia 6280, I had hard time deciding on what I wanted but my cousin who's here from U.K. has the same phone. I used his for a day and loved it. It's got 2mp camera, BT, infrared, mp3 player, video conference and more.

some pics (not mine)

 

Nice looking phone.

 

very nice, how much?

 

$348

I need to find me a case and screen protector... anyone know if I can pickup screen protector locally?

 

So basically its a T-809 but nicer, and with 2mp camera.

SWEET!

 

Nice choice there mang!

I am going to buy the Nokia 6131 in a few weeks for ~$300 USD. I've been waiting for a good Nokia Quad Band Flip-Phone w/BT

Here are some pics:




EDIT: For screen protectors, just go to your local Office Depot, pick up some PDA screen protectors and cut to fit the screen.

 

Already did that... thanx anyway, I'm still getting used to it but it's not hard to use.

Also today I read somewhere T-mobile changed gsm 900to 850, do they have support 1900 too? Although I don't have any problems with signal yet.

 

Uh, they never offered 900. TMobs has historically been GSM 1900 only, but in the last few years opened up 850mhz 'roaming' to its customers, but it doesn't cost extra to use it, its just to expand the network.

So TMobs is GSM 1900/850. As I understand it Cingular is the same, which begs a whole different rant on why so many tri-band phones are 900 instead of 850 and restrict our service options.

 

Jatt
isn't that the equivalent of the n80? i want an N80 damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

oh ok thanx for clearing that up, I was confused on that.

 

I guess...

N80 is like $600

 

Jatterbox, hows the phone working?

<--- wants one.

 

Did you buy this yet? How is it?

16 million color display! I think I may go with this.

 

Just waiting for my money transfer to PayPal to go through before I click "Buy It Now"

There are a few problems with this phone with the first batches (poping noises/distortion, and a faulty camera). The newest batches are trouble free, but Nokia was dumb and used a 800mAh batter (BL-4C) with this phone. So smaller battery + excellent, large display = shorter battery life (~2 days with moderate use).

I plan on shaving down my BL-5C battery and using that to get 3 days. I am also going to buy the 1000mAh battery that fits into it (~4 days).

I will create a new thread with a full review when I get it

 

If you would have waited till next week I can get those 6131's for like $260

 

Yo aim me bitch... need to ask you few questions.

 

<--- hook me up!!!!!!

contract extention discount?

 

I thought you didn't sell phones buy themselves i.e. no contract needed?

 

It looks like the 6131, and all nokias w/S40v2 and above don't allow apps to connect to a proxy via port 80.

In english: Google Maps, Opera Mini wont work with the Tzones $5.99 plan.



...and the pic caller ID in the interior display just stretches out a thumbnail image you have stored for that caller. What a waste of an awesome display.

:superlame:

 

...oh, but I still want one!

 

Hmm, I've been reading on howardforums that people have been able to get Opera Mini to work on there, at least on Cingular. I suggest you snoop around the net for some more info on it.

BTW, my 6131 arrives tomorrow

 

Ive read more on it. Tmobile no longer allows phones which use the $5.99 Tzones option to use port 80. Port 80 is used by many apps for http. As a workaround, most phones allow you to use a proxy server for http apps so you can connect via another port, but not Nokia's with symbian40 version 2.0 or above.

Cingular allows users to connect to port 80 via the $9.99 data plan.

I read the whole 87 page thread on howardforums today. I swear to god if one more person asks about the frikkin' battery life.......

 

I like my 6682, but that thing is sweet. Then again, I didn't pay as much as he did.

 

no wonder you can never afford wheels

 

I know what you are saying man. If I get battery life that is on-par with my Motorola v635, I will be happy.

 

N80 has WIFi and a 3 mp camera. It also suppor4 Quad band and 3G

 

So far, so good.

I received the Asian version of the phone, which is no big deal for me.

The reviews of the screen are true, it's gorgeous! The phone is veeeery light, much lighter than my v635 and my previous RAZR. Reception is top notch and the voice clarity is excellent.

The only con I have so far is that the voice reproduction lacks bass. My Motos had a nice natural tone to the voice, but oh well.

I will post pics as soon as I can.

 

Raheel! hook me up!

 

pm me the info please... will it work with Cingular? also is that price without contract?
