Any Possibility of New Flip Phones???
I realize I'm obviously in the minority, but I've had Iphones 3 & 4 and Androids with touch screens and have to admit I just don't like touch screen phones. I like what they can do - I just don't like the user interface they use to do it !
Is there any possibility of a "maneageable" flip phone with smart-phone capabilities coming anytime soon for the other 1 or 2 people in the world like me???
Where - if at all - can apps be obtained for the Freestyle???
Are apps available for the Freestyle? And if so - where? Or would GETJAR be the only source?
Audio Volume ...???
I'm really interested in the Aria but I've read some reviews indicating the ringtone volume is very low, speakerphone volume is very low, and call audio is low but can be enhanced by using the "hearing aid" setting (whatever that is).
Are these issues pretty prevalent in the Aria - or were they just isolated phone issues?
Thnx
Re: New AT&T Phones
Anything on the SE W508 ...? It looks like it could be kinda neat.
Thnx
Moto EM330 ...???
The ATT website recently shows what is apparently an on-line only Moto Flip, the EM330. Anybody have any first-hand experience with or know anything about this unit (other than specs)?
I'm looking for a decent backup and even though I've never been a Moto fan this looks like it might have some possibilities ... flip, FM, music, decent price, etc.,etc.
Thnx
Re: 850 vs 900 Freq
gizzo fizzone said:
All of the gsm coverage att offers is 850/1900. In florida its about a 50 50 split. above ocala and throughout the panhandle is 850 and the bottom being 1900 majority. not sure of the rest of the counry. I know in orlando that there are both frequencies so the phone would not work everywhere. you are better off not taking the risk if you dont have a way of finding out the specific areas of towers.
Thnx ...
850 vs 900 Freq
I'm AT&T - but if I get an unlocked Nokia that has 900/1800/1900 Freq's (instead of 850/1800/1900) how much trouble am I potentially in regarding reception here in the states?
Most of my travel is Dallas - Chicago - Orlando and all areas in between.

It passed testing a week or two ago. After testing devices start hitting store 2-3 wks later. Our Nokia rep said next week at the latest. I believe she said two colors; black and red will be available at launch.
Thnx for the input. I stopped at a Corp store yesterday and checked out the dummy phones - it looks and feels pretty neat. I've been waiting on this for quite awhile so hope ...
Is Nokia 6650 on it's way or not ...???
Had been hearing rumors that it'd be on board by 10/23, then 11/04 and as yet - nothing!
Anyone ...?
Re: Sprint No Contracts Soon?!!!
I haven't read all the responses to this thread - but that's what AT&T does already. I bought the N75 last year - paid full price - and have no contract.
AT&T Shut Out Again?
Is AT&T EVER going to get another mid-range Nokia? T-Mo is either beating them to the punch or AT&T just doesn't give a darn about Nokia's any more.
Either way - after being a long-time AT&T customer and only interested in Nokia's I'm gettin' tired of waiting ...
Any New Nokias Coming ???
I've been a loyal Cingular / AT&T customer for 15 years - am only interested in Nokia phones - and currently have 3 that I keep swapping out (N75 - 6230 - 6201).
A 6263-type is what I'm waiting on but it went to T-Mo. Now it looks like Nokia & T-Mo have gotten together on another one very similar to the 6263. Are AT&T & Nokia still in a pi***** contest? I keep waiting and nothing shows ...

Re: Reception on N75
Guess I'm an odd-ball case here but I've had my N75 since June - debranded it in October and have had no reception issues due to debranding. Reception is still as good as my Nokia 6230 which has always been tops.
I've got it set to GSM because I have had issues with it dropping calls when in 3G mode but other than that have no complaints. Battery lasts 3 - 4 days with "average" usage for me ...
Re: N75 N80 or e61i
I can't speak to the N80 or E61, but I can speak to the N75. I've had two - I returned the first one because me and it just couldn't quite get along (early release that had some issues and I - being a Symbian newb - had some issues).
I waited a couple of months and got the 2nd one, unlocked and debranded it and now it's my absolute favorite Nokia of all. Symbian is great after ...
Re: You must unlock the N75 to make it better!
Wasn't trying to pick on you - just didn't want to get a self-described "rookie" confused even more ...
Re: You must unlock the N75 to make it better!
Ciliatus - be careful. Your question referred specifically to "unlocking" ... the above responses pertained primarily to "un-branding or de-branding" - which is a lot different than "unlocking".
Unlocking means you can use other GSM carriers SIM card in the phone. Un-branding (or de-branding) means you get the benefits that LARUE26 highlighted.
Re: Found my next phone Nokia 6272
I'm not a guru of phone operating systems, but from the 10,000-ft level I think the biggest difference is that Symbian Series 60 OS provides the capbability for true multi-tasking of applications - Series 40 does not. Series 40 3rd party applications are almost strictly Java midlets, which definitely are not as numerous and may be a little slower than 3rd party Symbian applications.
In my mind relating to a PC environment, Symbian Series 60 would be similar to ...
Re: Found my next phone Nokia 6272
larue26 said:
The Nokia 6267 is a Symbian Series 40 phone which does not even put it in the leauge of the N75.
-Larue
Larue you are correct. I'm on my 2nd N75 and it works exactly as it should - however, I personally prefer a Series 40 OS over Series 60. Perhaps not as much flexibility in terms of software, etc. - but a lot quicker, simpler to operate and don't have to worry about ...
Re: Are you still having problems with N75?????
I was one of the early adopters when it was first released. I really WANTED to like the N75 but the one I had just had too many glitches and issues so I returned it after a couple of weeks, thinking I'd wait until another release came out and try it again.
I got another one about 3 weeks ago and it's quite a bit better (even though it's the sameversion of the firmware). I'm pretty well satisfied ...
Re: 6126
Hate to disagree with you "King" but there's a BUNCH of phones that have radios ... my Nokia N75, my Nokia 6102, my Nokia 6230, the SE810, Nokia 6133, etc.
That's why I'm hoping AT&T gets this one. That's why I returned my 6126 because it did not have an FM radio.
Re: Question for at&t reps
I want to believe you, but when i talked to CS yesterday regarding a billing issue they thanked me for being a customer since 2004. I politely corrected him indicating I'd been a customer since 1994 - he apologized and said his system didn't go that far back!

Re: Certificate Expired ????????
Thanks a lot - it worked !
Now the only issue is the theme doesn't look as good on the phone as it did on the monitor.
Appreciate the help !!!
Certificate Expired ????????
So I downloaded a nice looking Theme for my N75 and now I can't get past "certificate expired" before I get kicked out. I tried it with the USB cable and with Bluetooth and both gave me the same result.
Anybody got any suggestions .....???
Thanks in advance
Re: Current Firmware Version ...???
Thank you pennyless10. I must have had a bad early phone. That's the firmware version mine had and that's the same version a lot of other folks had that are happy with the phone about the same time I got mine.
Current Firmware Version ...???
I was an early user of the N75 and really wanted to like it but call quality was flaky along with several other issues. Was wondering if there's been a firmware upgrade ... what is the current firmware version being shipped?

Re: Question About SE.
Can't answer the question.
I've been trying to upgrade now for almost a year and getting frustrated because I just can't find a phone that will provide the top consistent quality (for me and my area) that the 6230 & 6102 do.
Re: Question About SE.
Hate to disagree but you knew someone probably would.
I got the 6102 before the "i" came out and it's never missed a beat. Call-quality wise it's second only to my 6230. I've had the V3xx, 6126 and N75 and returned all of them as they couldn't match the RF and call quality of either the 6230 OR 6102 (and NOT the 6102i).
Re: meow
You obviously look good doing it then !!!!
Re: meow
Then if you can give me a little headsup as to when AT&T will be getting some new Nokia's ?????
Thnx
Re: phone restricted-enter restriction code
I had the exact same problem earlier this year. Your 6230 needs to be unlocked in order to work with a 3G SIM card. I only found that out by doing what you're doing - going to the forums because NOBODY in the hallowed halls of Cingular had a clue !!!
I used the Nokia unlock calculator at www.gsmliberty.net/shop/nokia_unlock.php, got an unlock code (which I never done before) - entered it - and to my absolute amazement I ...

Need to Upgrade - Leery of W810 - HELP !!!
I'm confirmed Nokia user but my two Nokia's are going to die pretty soon - AT&T can't seem to replace with like kind (6126 is OK but no FM - N75 too "busy")sooooo am interested in SE810 'cause me and Motorola don't get along.
BUT .....
... Coming from Nokia is UI going to be too strange?
... Keypad - looks awfully small and hard to get used to. True or no ?
... Another forum keeps mentioning dropped Calls ...
Re: If I Switch to T-Mo Will I Really Notice Any Difference ...?
Thanks for the input - I appreciate it.
Re: If I Switch to T-Mo Will I Really Notice Any Difference ...?
Thanks for the input.
Coverage would be my primary concern. My sense is I could anticipate more and broader dead spots with T-Mo than AT&T. But if that's true I don't know whether on a scale of 1 - 10 whether the reception impact is a 1 or a 10! Coverage map-wise I see a few specific differences but not to any great magnitude.
Re: 6126 or N75 which one has better call quality , holds signal better and loud enough earpiece vol
Good to hear from you 'lacrowe' ... sounds like you and I are in the same boat - want to upgrade to something different but just can't get there from here.
Before I went with the 6126 and the N75 I also tried the Moto V3xx - nice phone but me and Motorola still can't get along. Everyone raves about the SE810i but I've got the local AT&T store so ticked off with buying & returning that I'm gunshy ...
If I Switch to T-Mo Will I Really Notice Any Difference ...?
I need to upgrade. I've been with AT&T for quite awhile and reasonably satisfied. BUT -
I use the FM radio functionality in my 6230 quite a bit - the Nokia 6126 doesn't have FM - I had an N75 and it didn't work real well - I want to stay with Nokia - and T-Mo has the Nokia 6133(which has FM)
In addition, T-Mo's plan of 1000 min / $39.95 fits me pretty well.
I'm not just "trolling" here ...
