The pictures look photoshoped,but the 3650 price drop does makes me go the other way.

Looks fake but nice case covers. I like the deep blue one.

i know there is a 3650i coming but don't know if it has those keypads but one thing i know is the 3650i has a better camera than the 3650

And you have that information from where ??

LOL!I wanted to ask the same question :roll:

He got it from Jimmy "the flame" Floye, who got it from this dude in the cell phone store in his town of Krasnodar, who got it from this guy who works at a farm next to the Finnish border who got it from his friend farmer right across the border who is married to the girl who's second cousing in law works for Nokia..... as a janitor.

That's got to be fake. Why would Nokia replace the "round" keypad with a standard layout but leave the round layout of the foot of the phone!

Rubbish!

(But I do like that dark blue colour) :-)

OK, to flame the fire of rabid speculation, Expansys (www.expansys.com) have been out of stock of 3650's in all colours for a number of days. Why? Could Nokia be clearing through their existing stock before releasing an upgrade?

Probably not, but then again ;)

I knew that would work :D

Exopansys now have the 3650 back in stock ;)

:rofl: I've heard that 3650's price is droping relly fast in the UK,is it true?

i know there is a 3650i coming but don't know if it has those keypads but one thing i know is the 3650i has a better camera than the 3650

got it from my neighbour he works for vodafone and he tests all vodafone operated phones and he will test the 3650i this week that has a better camera but don't know if there are any other changes

:rofl: I've heard that 3650's price is droping relly fast in the UK,is it true?

I think I'm having a bad web day. I thought I'd check the latest price for you on Carphone Warehouse (http://www3.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-Home), probably the UK's largest independant mobile supplier. I cant find the 3650 anywhere! It was there, where's it gone?

I think I'll go and drink some beer perhaps it will turn up after that.

This bad web day thing is either contagious or Carphone Warehouse have ditched the 3650.The rumours seem more and more real.

Did the beer help? :)

Yes thanks! :) I'm glad I was not hallucinating.

CPW in Nottingham still had the 3650 on Sunday. :-?

Nokias ive found

3100@ http://www.nokia.com.hk/nokia_apac/hongkong/cantonese/3100_main

3585@ http://www.nokia.co.in/nokia_apac/india/3586_main

a few more here NO 3650i though

http://www.nokia-asia.com/nokia/0,,27106,00.html

Of course you can't find it,its not announced yet,its a rumour,so it might never see the light of day but can you find the p810/p900 on Sony Ericssons website?

And ther are a lot more Nokias then that :) Check out the new 3200.

I was confirmed by a local Nokia guy that this model deu out at the year end. The different is not only keyboard but the screen is 65k. I just want to share my info. It true or not, before year end, you'll know.

so new keypad and 65k colorscreen :roll: I'm not getting excited about this. doesn't make me wanna trade my 3650. Besides, im used to this keypad now.

3660/3650i should have:
1. 65k screen or more
2. mp3 player (stereo)
3. fm radio (stereo)
4. camera with megapix
5. support for 512 mb MMC
6. about 12mb flash memory

Offcourse series 60 :) NOw thats an improvement wich i would trade my 3650 for. :D

Why I think this is a hoax:

- If this was for real, Nokia would announce instead of making it available exclusively to Vodafone?

- If this was for real, why do we have pics just like the ones in the website and not some real pics like we have from the 6850, the spy-pics?

- If this was for real why there is no more pics than this standard ones?

- If this is for real, why would Nokia still use the old icons for the keys (like the hang up ones) and still the same font?



Everybody is free to believe in whatever they want. But for me, there's no 3660 yet. Or at least not with these looks.

my first thought as I saw the pics of a "3660" was: photoshop!!! :-?


then I found this link at a german forum:

http://nds.nokia.com/uaprof/N3660r100.xml

:shocked!:

it just makes no sense ,cause there launching the 6600 soon. I'd really be shocked if it was true. still dont believe it.

This phone is for REAL and will be unveiled next week (09/25) for Vodafone UK and Germany.

i have no doubt there will be a replacement of 3650, but i doubt the casing. i don't think nokia will continue using the 3650 casing for 3660.

i am surprise about it will use S60 1.2, even nokia themselves still producing S60 1.2 phone, then who is goint to write S60 2.0 programs! pray for 6600!

3660/3650i should have:
1. 65k screen or more
2. mp3 player (stereo)
3. fm radio (stereo)
4. camera with megapix
5. support for 512 mb MMC
6. about 12mb flash memory

if these are the specs then technically i dont know if its only me but it is act. better than the 6600 eh ? i dont think nokia is that dumb.

Jesal,you are just speculating/dreaming.

jesal was quoting me. Those are the specs that i want for a new series 60 phone.

why am i dreaming again.

After following the link from franco74, I believe N3660 exists. I just don't know if it will look like the pics we saw.

I believe it will have a 65k screen, because it has 16bitsperpixel just like 6600 and not 12 like 7650/3650/6560, so I think that this could be an interesting question. If you follow that link and then only replace the number of the model in the address bar, you'll then see the same type of info of the other nokia phones.

The only strange thing is that 6850 which have great rumour pics in mobile burn and other sites doesn't have a page like this...

O jesus that would be GREAT :D
I hope its treu
i mean more colors and a normal keypad :o
the keypad is not a big problem for me anymore but the colors may improve
maby camara with zoom ?
and if its fake Oh wel im still happy with my 3650
but it should be verry cool :P

Problem with Nokia phones is by the time you wait for the price of a released phone to get low, then you buy it, take along time to get fully used to it, you'll be seeing a new phone knocking on your door. Same with all mobile manufactures? OR is it just me? SHEESH! I'm stayin with my trusty 6210 :D(it's prehistoric now, whatever's newer than it doesn't affect it ) :D

the 6210 ? what can you do with a 6210? no offense to you but
i wouldent trade my 3650 with a 6210
but youre completly right about that :D
normaly i cant stand it when a new phone comes out because i want to have it to

nokia is going to have a press event on 25/9, let see whether 3660/3650i will become true

http://www.nitro-punk.com/images/3620.jpg

Found this image on www.phonefun4u.com
Doesn't look like a photoshoped image to me...

So, anyone know what happened at the press event yesterday? I don't see the Nokia 3660 being listed on the Nokia website.

I THINK THAT'S A PHOTOSHOP IMAGE!!! LOOK AT THE SHINING BITS ON THE COVER. THE LIGHT ON THE DESK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE GOES UP ONTO THE COVER & SCREEN BUT THERE'S A MYSTERIOUS SHINY BIT ABOVE THE NOKIA LOGO ON THE SCREEN. IT MAKES ME SLIGHTLY SUSPICIOUS.

I JUST INVESTIGATED THE ABOVE IMAGE & IT ORIGINATED FROM http://www.nitro-punk.com/images/3620.jpg

NOTE HOW IT'S BEEN INDEXED AS "3620" AND NOT 3660!!! THE PLOT THICKENS.

THE ORIGINAL POST HERE CONTAINED THE LINK http://wm.trafika.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=563
I ALSO INVESTIGATED THE ORIGIN OF IMAGE ON THAT & IT ORIGINATED FROM http://www.moontoon.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/3660.jpg

THIS SITE SEEMS TO CONTAIN MOSTLY ANIMATIONS. COINSCIDENCE????

http://nds.nokia.com/uaprof/N3660r100.xml

of you change it to
http://nds.nokia.com/uaprof/N3620r100.xml, the link still works

it is a Symbian machine also~

>>I THINK THAT'S A PHOTOSHOP IMAGE!!!

Photoshop is working overtime these days ;~))

I'll make it simple :

3620 = square keypad 3600
3660 = square keypad 3650

regards.

there is something new in 3620, if you look into it, the security module it support are TLS and SSL, rather than WTLS1 or 2 on 3660, 3650

support to TLS and SSL indicated this phone support the new Wallet application and Verified by Visa application. by now, only 6220 and 6600 support these security modules, you also check the xml links

The '0' looks a bit big. Y werent more pictures taken ey!........decent ones.

http://mobil.idnes.cz/mobilni_komunikace/mobilni_telefony/abecedni_prehled_mt/nokia/nokia3660030929.html

we are yet to see a clear image of the 3660. Until then i am unconvinced. 2 Are blurry and the other is digitally rendered. Also, lets wait and see if its on the nokia site... ;)

fischerspooner,i merged the thread you started with the original thread about the rumoured 3660,please don't start anymore new threads on the same subject.

http://nokia3660.iwebs.cz

this pohone is not fake !

Same pix we've seen before but all under one roof - proves nothing, remember the 7650i ;)

Untill you see it on the Nokia site anything can be faked - even video.


:)

The 3660 and 3620 have just passed US FCC approval.

They are definitely NOT fake !! (unless the US government
organisation are lying...)

https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=811188&fcc_id='QFXNHL-8X'

Things are getting interesting..


3650 replacements approved by FCC
http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=474


:)

I can't imagine the US government lying about anything..... :rolleyes:

Sorry, not knocking the news, just couldn't resists the jibe!

Call me crazy, but i still dont trust it. :rolleyes: Still the same screenshots used in the manual? Same menu items? still the same small thumbnail caller ID? I've seen no new features in the manual. Actually, the whole manual looks like the 3650 manual, same text. Only the images of the keypad have changed. I need more convincing

6600 has digital zoom and it has themes and it has an improved calendar day view. So why does the 3660/3620 dont have it? Only new keypad an 65k screen, is really a worthless upgrade from 3650. :mad:

Look at page 145. Its clearly that someone tried to change 3650 into 3660, but failed. see attachment.

Crazy ! Blimey RoYal21 you need a lot of convincing ;)

Official US federal documents just aren't enough ?

Manual is of course modified from 3650, as the differences
between that and 3660 are small(apart from the keypad).

regards.

Ok ok, even if it is true. Like i said before, the upgrade is pathetic:

"Same menu items! Same camera! still the same small thumbnail caller ID! 6600 has digital zoom and it has themes and it has an improved calendar day view. So why does the 3660/3620 dont have it? Only new keypad an 65k screen, is really a worthless upgrade from 3650. :( "

EDIT: shouldnt it be on the Nokia site, before it is aproved?

I agree, it's probably not worth upgrading from a 3650
unless you really can't handle the keypad..

>EDIT: shouldnt it be on the Nokia site, before it is aproved?

Not necessarily. This is not a release of a totally brand new product
so it will be more low key than say the 7600. Plus early
official announcement would definitely affect sales of remaining
3650s. FCC approval means that sales CAN begin, but
doesn't mean that they WILL begin tomorrow. (example : SX1
is approved also)

6600 has those extra features with the updated operating
system and hardware. But of course it's going to cost more !!

I hope its treu:)

Hi,

I just read the manual from FCC site, and I dont see any major improvements over the 3650. Just the keypad and the screen (65k). Camera is still without zoom, no themes, all other same as the 3650. I think that upgrding from a 3650 to 3660 is a waste of money, i wait for my 6600.

So i guess that they made this phone, only because people complained about the keypad. They made this phone for the people who didnt want to buy a 3650, because of the keypad. They hope to sell more of 3650, only with the normal keypad. (3660)

Better keep waiting for the 6600.

BTW: does this mean there not making any 3650's anymore?

Where do you find the manuals on the FCC site. I would like to look at the 6600 one.

Thanks.

Well,that's Nokia.There new changes because the 3660 unlike the 6600 is runing on the same platform as the 3650,Symbian 6.1 and Series 60 1.x.On the other hand it might mean that Nokia don't wan't to reveal any more information and they are using the old 3650 manual.

This link is the index location for all the FCC documents about the 3660.

Hi,

Here is the link for 6600 manula:

copy paste link:
[https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=312819&fcc_id='QVVNHL-10']FCC page for downloading Nokia 6600 Manual]

MAYBE I'M JUST BEING PICKY BUT THE FCC DOCUMENTS REFER TO THE 3660 & 3669. THEY ALSO REFER TO NHL-8 & NHL-8X. ARE THESE MISTAKES OR SOMEONE TAKING THE P1SS?

NHL-8 is the old reference for the 3650.

Perhaps there will be 3669 for the American market with different triband frequencies i.e. the two US ones one of ours? Just a guess.

i've already read somewhere that it's to be called the 3620 on the american market but i can't remember where i read it. are the NHL references not device specific? i thought they were different for every type of phone.

I think that now the cat seems to be out of the bag, that Nokia should come clean and officially say what they are bringing out, what numbers they will have and where they will be sold :D

i agree! i've been clutching at straws trying to shoot this rumor down. i hope to god that i'm right in being sceptical.

I never realised that there is a US version of the 3650 the dual band (850/1900 MHz) 3600. You can find the details here (http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/3600). So the 3620 will be the 3660 USA equivalent. I've never actually heard of anyone having the 3600 though?

So i guess that they made this phone, only because people complained about the keypad.

yep, plus reduced texting means less revenue.


BTW: does this mean there not making any 3650's anymore?

Given the choice, which one do you think operators will
want to order(out of 3650/3660) ?


regards.

you know what? here in holland i dont see any 3650 phones anymore i mean not to much and in the folders you know where to buy from they dont have them either
so this is for real
i wonder what the price is

I think it will be the same price as the 3650 when it first came out. Or maybe just a little more expensive. Because of the 65k scrreen.

So royal are you gonna buy it?

No, i think i will keep my 3650 for some time. Still love it :cool:

i'm gonna wait for a Symbian Nokia that has some major improvements over the 3650. 6600 has too little improvements i think. I'm thinking about a screen with 262k screen or more, mp3 stereo player, FM radio, camera with 1,3megapixel or more and lots of phone memory, about 20MB (i hate the 3,4MB we have now). Would be nice if the phone could also play mpg, wmv, rm and mov files ;)

So if you see my list, you know i'll have to wait sometime for a new phone :D

if nokia do produce the 3660 i think we should all boycott it. i know it will have improvements that will appeal to some people but what better way to show nokia that the should develop phones with these features in the firstplace.

Boycot it?!!?LOL!

Roling out similar devices is standard practice for Nokia.

6310
6310i
7250
7250i
9210
9210i and many more...

When these products didn't suffer any boycot i don't see the 3660 suffering different fate.

You forgot 8910-8910i
and 3510-3510i

Ok I know we had a leap from mono screan to color.

But isn't this frustrating if you have in mind the people that have bought the none "i" phones and a few months later on the same prize the "i"versions were realesed?

Well,thats Nokia ;)

I assume the 3660 is S60 v1.0 and not V2.0 as in the 6600?

Why will anyone buy this when the 6600 is coming????

I'd guess its going to be quite a bit cheaper.

I suspect the 6600 will be top of the range and 3660 mid range.

Up to 3.4 MB internal dynamic memory for phone numbers, messages, and photos

:( :(
Still only 3,4 MB phonememory.

New Keypad
65k colorscreen

That's all the differnces they made. If you dont have a Symbian phone and want one for (i guess) good price. 3660 is good choice.
But if you allready have a 3650, IMO it's not worth it to change for a 3660.

If you buy a 3660 case, and replace your 3650 one.. would it work? may be no because of the diplay of the buttons.. But apart from this, and the 65k colour screen, it's not a new phone. should be called 3650i

NO, it will not work because the keys are on different places.
YES, they should have called it 3650i :D Small adjustments
(see 3510/3510i, 7250/7250i, 8910/8910i, 6310/6310i, 9210/9210i) They also should have called the 3330 a 3310i.:cool:

I agree, they should have called it a 3650i
But maybe Nokia decided to call it 3660 instead for 2 reasons

1st) They new that if they called it a 3650i they would have a lot of very angry customers screaming "Why didn’t Nokia release the 3650 with a normal keypad and 65k screen to begin with. I hate Nokia for doing this"

2nd) By calling it a 3660 Nokia can continue to sell the 3650 alongside of the 3660 and people will still buy it. But if they called it 3650i people would say something like ”Why would I buy an outdated model” and Nokia wouldn’t be able to sell anymore 3650s
