TOUCH-SCREEN NOKIA 6108

The Sony Ericsson P800 fears no new comers (well not for at least a year!!!). So I say bring it ON!!! :roll:

Given Nokia "reputation" our beloved P800 don't has to fear this Nokia. Nokia phones are designed by some complete idiots. I owned Nokia mobiles for 3 gernations of mobile phones (3300 - 6110 - 7210) and I can say that I never ran across a mobile that is so misdesigned and flawed like the Nokias. Not that they are totally bad quality (some of them are like the 7210 with a flimmering screen and quite bad built quality) but the features of the Nokia are chosen randomly. Their business phones lack triband (like the communicator) or bluetooth. The ones that got both are butt ugly gameboys like the 3650.

So there isn't much the P800 has to fear, and even fewer from Nokia. So Nokia - time to produce gumboots again like in the old days. Maybe you get to notice what it takes there.

i personaly bought the camera phone the 3650 for my girlfriend and i got to say it 's very nice, creen resolution, being able to record clips + the real one player is really nice too, and the fact it uses SD cards is amazing, i got to say i am a little bit jealous! is a little complicated though to jog trough.

well i hav to say, i too don't think the SE P800 has to fear the N6108. however i disagree with what private... said about NOKIA. NOKIA is great and their phones are amazing. i would use only a NOKIA until i came across the P800(which i fell in love with at first use). But i hav to agree with the following what private... said "the features of the Nokia are chosen randomly. Their business phones lack triband (like the communicator) or bluetooth. The ones that got both are butt ugly gameboys like the 3650." this i too hav often pondered over. BUT coming bak to the N6108. The P800 is definately a better fone, feature wise definately.

just checked it out again....... P800 definately does not hav to fear this.... its not even a touch screen....its a sort of 6610 which opens or smthng to revead a touch PAD(damn small) like to rite one alphabet at a time type...... just for the sake of havin a touch pad.http://www.nokia-asia.com/apc/phones/0,,587,00.html. Check it out.

This topic doesn't belong here. This is NOT in anyway related to the P800, nor UIQ, not even Symbian. This is just a regular cell phone with a pen based text area for easy Chinese charcter text input.

This model has also been discussed before in the Waffle(where it belongs), here.

I agree Raven,moving it right now.

@Private-Cowboy1,What Nokia reputation? That they are the top handset seller in the world?They make great phones like the communicator(Which has a triband version,9290) and the 7650 and the 3650.

The missing features in these phones are mainly because Nokia is a great business company,and they want to have good sales on all of their device classes.One example: The 7650,is a great device,almost perfect,why not perfect?Well,not enough memory,no MMC expansion no Bluetooth Audio,mono output.Those missing features are now present in the 3650.In order to keep sales on the 7650 they made the "innovative" keypad,they've cut back on RAM(on the 3650) and some small unnoticeable things like the joystick,the sensors and the same mono output.I'm not discussing the exterior because it is mater of taste.

The 6108 is just another series 40 device I guess,it has a touch screen,so what?The p800 is higher class device,so I don't think there is room for comparison here.

Just my opinion.

some folks just chose a forum to rant!!! :roll: 😊

there we go again, comparing and apple with a fish. unless Nokia are touting the 6108 as a direct rival to P800, i dont see what all the hoo haa is about :agrue: . its like Nokia have commited a crime for trying out a touchpad keypad design.
one thing i like about nokia is that they like to try out new things. they are far from being innovators of the industry compared to Samsung or Siemens...ect, but they try to give a different taste to things.

i think the P800 folk are just abit edgy that Nokia are sniffing too close to home. 😊

thanks for the tip N/A, i was about to get an SD today, glad i read your post.

With Nokias "reputation" I don't mean they have a bad one in the commom sense. I meant, that if you look at Nokias realeases of the past - lets say 2 years - the new Nokia surely will lack one or more of the most important funktions of such a feature phone. Just look at an example:

Nokia brought out the new titanium handy which is surely a amazing piece of hardware but why the hell does it lack Triband. Don't they think people willing to buy such an expensive phone don't travel to the US.

An many many of the Nokia phones are based on questionable design descissions.

The Nokia 7650 or 3650 offer both BT and Triband - but where is a small stylish verion that got both. I don't mean those bricks. The Nokia 7250 lacks BT. The new 6220 won't have it too.

That's what I meant with "reputation" - with a quite high feasibility the touch screen Nokia will also lack featrues which are common for those features phones and which are built in by Nokia competitors like SE.

The brand Nokia itself hasn't a bad reputation in the commen sense - at least at the moment. But If they continue the way they are goeing in the moment, they will surely hurt their reputation. I think they did already with a decreasing built quality and more and more disappointing new mobiles.

well said Private Cowboy! I totally agree with you!

Nokia isn't like Sony Ericsson for example. They give importance to their phones and the features in them. They just don't release phone every other month!!! When they release one, it surely is good! Not just an upgrade of a model... I can't really explain it but I hope you guys get what I mean... hehehe!

I understand fully.

SE brought out quite few mobile the last year but all were of great quality. The T300 (my father has one) is a nice looking little phone for the ones looking for a cheap mobile. It rivals most Nokia entrace models. The P800 is a feature monster that brings us all the things that are possible at the moment in the mobile market. The new SE (the succesor of the T68) is looks also quite interesting and fills the gap between the T300 and the P800. There we have 3 phones - all with BT - that offer erverything you ask for at the respective level (entrance, middle, pro).

Nokia instead pumps out a new mobile EVERY month with each new one of a badder built quality (meanwhile the hardware quality of Nokia isn't very good anymore - with flickering screens and bad keyboards they begin to feel like Alcatel) and more and more missing features compared to the competition. Where's BT, where's Triband on some models? How can a new mobile be put on the market without basic functions (like triband)?

With that product offensive Nokia isn't doing any good. Noone (at least not the pro user) will buy those mobiles even if the pump out 2 a month.

SE instead is carefully producing mobiles with the result, that they are all really good equipped and built compared to Nokia.

First off all Private-Cowboy,get your facts together,the 7650 is not triband,7250 and 6220 are just regular phones,no serius data transfer there so i don't see the need for bluetooth.You want small and stylish?Buy a 8310!The 92XX series are quite large,and they are the best there is.The 7650 and the 3650 are bricks and the p800 is not?

where did all this come from ???

et tu ST@RR :-?

Yes, the P800 is a brick. But is has features the 3650 has not and it has the better built quality by far. The communicator isn't triband and has a problem ration of over 50% (more than half of the owners had to repair it trusting a statistic in a recent mobile mag), so why is it the best there is??? The 6220 is intended to be a modern business phone, no a kiddie toy, and as that it's lacking BT. The 7250 has a built in cam and is missing BT too. No serious data transfer on a cam phone - come on. The 8310 maybe stylish but does it have any features at all?

For me and I think for many other users the P800 is simply the best alternative.

That is why the 3650 is half the p800's price.And what are the famous features in the p800 you are talking about? The touch screen? I agree that the p800 is a better device but it is a different class device so there is no room for comparison.

You obviously don't know your facts,the communicator has a triband version,9290.I don't even want to start talking about bugs,problems and missing features on the p800 because there were loads,like any other advanced smartphone although many features were added with the new firmware upgrade.Try browsing the 92XX forums sometimes,and see what the users have to say.The communicator is still the best PDA/Phone combo out there.

The picture quality on the 7250 is good enough for MMS only,so the file size is a lot smaller then the file size of images on the 7650,3650,p800 so once again,the data transfer is not really high.

I'm really don't have the knowledge to discuss the 6220 because I don't know much about it yet.

Oh c'mon, Private-Cowboy,

Why are you trying to start such a discussion here? This is a Symbian board, not an SE board. I think your views would be more appreciated over @ esato.com where all the little kiddies jost love discussing how much SE rules and why Nokia sucks so bad... :roll:

This is a childish debate, it's like saying "the 9000i is crap cos it doesn't have a colour screen, why did anyone buy it?" The reason being it had all the features of other devices about at the time and MORE. Same as the 9210, no GPRS, why, BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE HAD IT! It's got HSCSD which is both better and was available at the time. Touchscreen? It didn't need it with a full keyboard. Bluetooth? It was a dream when the 9210 was made.

Personally the P800 is a crap device compared to the 9210, but then they are in 2 different spheres. The 9210 is a PDA/phone, the P800 an advanced smartphone, the 7650/3650 are normal smartphones, the 7210 is a cheap arse camera phone, and the 6220 is a freaking normal phone.

Yes the 6 series phones are aimed at business users, hence why they aren't bloated with unnceccessary features, the touchscreen is because it's being sold in asia and it's easier to write the character based text with a pen than to write it by numbers. At least if you are going to compare devices RTFM and make sure they are aimed at the same thing before you go off on one.

[quote="SwitchBlade"]Same as the 9210, no GPRS, why, BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE HAD IT![/quote]

Sorry mate, but that is far from true. Several phones had GPRS support when the 9210 was due for release. And IMO it was just unbelievably stupid to leave it out of the 92xx. I would have gotten it if it wasn't for this missing feature.

[quote="SwitchBlade"]Personally the P800 is a crap device compared to the 9210, but then they are in 2 different spheres.[/quote]

I would say the direct opposite. 😉
The 9210 is nothing compared to the P800 IMO, but anyway, this "my di@k is bigger than yours" discussion is pointless. 😊

whoa! What has this thread gone into??? Let's not argue on which phone is better and stuff like that because we will never come into an agreement since each of us has our own opinion. Nokia has some good phones and SE also has good phones.

You're right Raven, this discussion is pointless! :-?

I'm sorry. I didn't meant to drive this discussion in this direction. Sometimes I get a little to enthusiastic.

I only wanted to say that I (for me personally) don't expect very much from any new Nokia phone because of my personal experiences with Nokia. That doesn't mean that they are bad in general.

@SwitchBlade: To make one thing clear - in my country the 7250 is NOT a "cheap" phone. It cost only about 100-150Euros less than the P800 and comparing the features I must say that that isn't cheap at all.

Despite this forum beeing a Symbian forum I'm of the opinion that the P800 is the best symbian phone today - that's all I wanted to say.

Sorry again.

Does this sentence make sense to someone? Hey guys, honestly, when did Symbian come to mean Nokia? 😃 All symbian phones can be discussed here, but when it comes to matters of personal preferences, arguing is pointless (although I must say I love my 9210) 😃

look how much we've progressed....... from talking bout the N6108... to arguing bout how good each one's phone is.................ANYWAYS... if u can't beat em, join em.....P800 rulz! 😃

no i got more posts than you
SO 7650 rulz
8)

I see what is been said, the 7650 and 3650 look more like bricks when the P800 is in flip off mode. I looked at the 6108 its not anywhere near in the same range, its an odd idea, its a 6100 with a touchscreen (128x128) and the handwriting doesnt look that easy with the small area for it

Actually i don't think that they look like bricks,i i like the design on all three devices (7650,3650,p800) and the 92XX series,so it is a matter of taste,if you show a phone to some poor insane person,to him it might look like a hotdog and he'll eat it,so you'll have to buy a new phone which is not very nice 😃 Like Laura said

when it comes to matters of personal preferences, arguing is pointless

Too true! :P
