See this thread

http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...8&pagenumber=2 , i list most the stuff the phone can do there.

go here

http://my-symbian.com/7650/applications/index.php

and look at some of the many, MANY, MANY! extra programs you can get for the phone

Its the best phone i have ever bought!, and even more fun when your mates get one!

is their an emulator so you can plsy the games on the computer.

I'm all most 95% sure i am going to get this phone

Not that i know off. Whats the 5% putting you off the phone ?

I have always had pay as you go packages before so it tring to find the right package at the right price.i was trying to stay with vodafone but fot the nokia 7650 the cheapest i have found is £229.99 were as the other networks are £169.99

Go for the T68i!

Why would you want to stay with Vodafone ? Its cheaper to phone a Vodafone off another network , then it is on Leisure plans Voda - Voda Move to T-Mobile or Orange get a decent operator, who will not rip you off.

Huh? Surely it's free (off peak)

Off peak yes, but since off peak is 7PM - 8AM, we sleep for most of that! and weekends are only 2 days out of 7.

So if you work 9-5, use it before work, its "peak rate", use it during lunch, its "peak rate", use it after work, its "peak rate". Only becomes cheap from 7-10/11 (if you have work the next day)

You even get charged 30p a min to other networks off peak these prices are rediculus!

I have been to the orange web site to have a look at some packages and got a little confuessed.

for £19.99 i get 60 inclusive minutes per month.Does that mean 60mins free a month.

for £4.00 i get 60 inclusive text messages per month again does this mean 60 text messages a month.

Now this is were i really get confuessed - GPRS - the whole thing just confuessed the crap out of me.

is this wap or somethink different. if it is somethink different do you get wap as well.

having a look at orange web site they charge £4.00 for 0.5mb a month with i thought was expensive if it is wap as i am paying 10p a min with payg vodafone.Could someone pls explain the whole GPRS - WAP to me.

hm. This should be fun

GPRS is not WAP, but rather a different way of using it.

With the older phones, you'd have to dial up to use mobile internet. This incurs some sometimes hefty call charges, and is pretty slow as well.

GPRS stands for General Packet Radio System (or something like that - correct me if I'm wrong) - and it works off a different signal to your telephone connection.
What this means is that you constantly have access to the mobile internet. It works in a similar sort of way to 0800 dialup internet access, in that it's flat rate and don't have to pay for call charges.
However - you often get limited to the amount of data you can transfer per month. For instance, if you had a 512k limit, you would only be able to send/receive 512k of data per month, and after that you start getting charged phenominal amounts per kilobyte of data.
That said, though, for general WAP browsing, 512k isn't too restrictive - unless you're going to be getting lots of pictures, in which case you're going to want to spring for a more expensive GPRS package.


Hope this helped

http://shop.orange.co.uk/NASApp/esales/esales click on broswe or buy, then creat your plan (pay monthly) and then additional services.

So i have had another look and if i'm right for GPRS i would have to pay £4 Orange Access pack and at least another £4 for 0.5mb before getting charged a crap load.(if the link works can someone explain why its £4 for 0.5mb under the GPRS packs but to the left it say "WAP GPRS costs £4 per MB"

If you can save ur money a little bit more and be a bit more paitent you should go for the Sony Ericsspn P800. It can do everything the Nokia can plus lots lots more. If you cant wait and are going to take pictures and email / mms them all the time, everyday and go put up with the bulk of the Nokia go for it but if your going to take the od photo, send lost of MMS etc go for T68i with communicam. T68i has most features Nokia has including gprs, tri band ,k bluetooth etc and its much much smaller and cheaper

Yeah, but the P800 is bigger and heavier than a 7650! and because its touch screen you have to carry a dodgy pen with you ! and once again, like most other phones on the market it looks ugly

I am awaiting my 6650 to be launched........... that will be my next phone.

Hmm. The 7650 is 114x56x26, and the P800 is 117x59x27. So there's 3mm difference in the height, 3mm difference in the width, and 1mm difference in the depth. Wow. Weight wise, you're looking at 158g (or 148g without the flip) for the P800, and 154g for the 7650. Again, damn.

Oh, and the 7650 isn't even tri-band! In this day and age? Simply unbelievable.

IMO, somehow Nokia have managed to create another phone that looks as though it belongs in the walls of my house (ie. a brick), and even though the P800 is a sliver bigger, it looks smaller and sexier! The 7650 is no more than a normal phone, with a full height screen and a camera. The P800 is far more than that.

Do we use 1900Mhz? No, do i roam outside europe? Is there only 1 place in the world that uses 1900Mhz?


No the Nokia 7650 looks like a phone, not a brick, it looks professional, not some tacky look cheap thing like the P800.

Do any of us use half the features on a phone these days? No. Do we still quote all the features that phones have over another phone, even though we'll probably never use them? Yes.

Anyway, to some people, being tri-band, or rather not being tri-band is quite a killer in terms of the 'shall-I-get-one' stakes.


That's your opinion - like I stated at the time, my previous comments were my opinion. To me the 7650 looks like a big lump of black plastic, with a slidy thing for the keyboard that will no doubt start failing like the 7110's slidy thing did. The P800 doesn't stick to the conventional 'Nokia-black', and goes for some funkier colours - something Nokia have still got to learn about.

I'm not critisising you for liking the 7650, just expressing my own views. Like all these arguments, if it wasn't for competition between products, we'd all be worse off.

I like The Conventional Black, which is proberlly why i hate modern hifi's they look ugly too! Express on Covers? They are what Nokia use to make things funkier.

And the Nokia charge you £20 for the privilage of changing covers. What is ur obsession with Nokia phones all the time. They stil dont have a phone which can touch the T68i - Their only current colour screen option is much bigger, heavier and more exspensive.

But its better colour, bigger screen, clearer.

This could go on and on, but you just do not have the range darling.

Agreed but it wont be a patch on the P800
