missing infrared

Don't think so, just like the Nokia 7610 it lacks IR

I've seen a lot of people inquiring about IR in 7610 & 6630, but i fail to understand why. When you have BT, why would you need IR? Am i missing something?

Some people only have IR (on their laptop/PDA/other phone) so I guess that's why some people might want it.

IR is safer IMO, but BT is more advanced... I like BT very much, I would never buy a phone without anymore...

Why would you say IR is safer. Till date, BT hasnt been prone to viruses other than the cabir virus which didnt do any harm.
BT is so advanced, ever since i started using BT, i've even forgotten what IR stands for. 😉

I remember when i had my N7250 and an IR port on the desktop, even if i moved the phone a little, it would loose connection, whereas with BT, even when i'm in the other room, i can transfer files with no problem. If its at a greater dist, the speed reduces, but atleast the files are transferred.

As I said, BT is more advanced (including the fact that it doesn't need an eye-to-eye connection). But have you ever heard of bluejacking and bluesnarffing. As I said, I like BT better, but IR is safer!

If you only make your blutooth availible when transfering files - whats the problem??
Why not set your bluetooths visibility to invisible, or if your in a public place you can turn bluetooth off.
Even so - I don't see bluejacking as a problem, the user needs to accept any connection or download first, so you would ignore it would'nt you if you were worried about it.

Don't beleive the press hype...........

And if you want to avoid that, its best to use the BT only while transferring files and have it switched off otherwise. Plus having BT on 24/7 sucks up a lot of battery power too.

So i dont think you can say that IR is safe and BT isnt.

Look guys, I personally don't mind about the security flaws in BT, I LOVE BT! I always have BT on, visible mode, as I said I don't mind. But it is a fact that BT more unsafe.

And you don't need to accept anything with bluejacking, it just sends a vcard (which the other phone automatically accepts), I must admit I've done it myself once (and it is very much fun😊) so I didn't get it from a press hype.

You surely have to accept the Vcard in Nokia phones. I've tried it myself, and without accepting the Nokia doesnt download the vcard automatically. You should try it one more time with another Nokia in front of you.

Yeah BJ is surely fun 😉

After All This.

Garcons50 I am for BT but with my 6600 i had extreme problems to connect to PC Suite. After a time there was a period i couldnt connect throught my BT at all with PC Suite...i run all the advises in the relevant subject in the forum but nothing, nada, niente. So by the end i was forced to use the IR to make use of PC Suite. Now if similar problems occur with the provided software of Nokia for 6630...then yes...IR would be needed...but if i am correct the phone is also coming out with a USB cable....that would also be a solution in case of BT failure.

Yes Off Couse Alexandra,
In case of Bt Failure u can use the Popport and the main thing that we won't spend money on buying data cable.
I really like this thing that nokia is giving the data cable with smart phones like 7610,6630 and with coming 9500.
now i hope that nokia should start Bluetooth handsfree also in the Box.

This Is A Dream.

No This is not I think Nokia will surely give Bluetooth handsfree with the Phone in the Sale Package.In the Coming Future.

ok let see
what happen.

hello and thanks for your information, i like it, it is very important

Well if Nokia gives a BT handsfree within teh sale spackages i think that makes the phone even more tempting that it already is!! And it is already very tempting!! Thank you for the info 😊

Well i think it happens bcoz u must have heard abt the new nokia phone 7710.
it is having a loudspeaker and u can take with the handsfree.
No side or any other way to talk.
so nokia must give in the sales package .

U R Right.

It seems right and i hope it turns like this.
