Can't fault them to be honest. I work for Vodafone and have had no returns to be honest.

Features include GPRS, Infra Red, Built in modem, compatible with car kit (essential from 1st Dec), diary, calc, Tri-band, Polyphonic tones, wap etc. Depending on the upgrade price offered, I can't knock it.

Thanks for that.
I have ordered one and i have 14 days to decide...
it was a toss up between that or the 3650 camera phone, however i have heard bad things about reliability of the 3650.

just wait and see now!!!!

The Nokia 3650 is a great phone, I have had no trouble with reliability with it at least.

I have a Nokia 6100 from 02 online,
I downloaded a game from there wap site but when it saves it goes into the Applications Folder. Is there anyway of moving to where games should be, In the GAMES Folder!?

Unfortunately, thats the way the software and menu system is set up, that the games pre-loaded onto the handset are in the games menu, and all material including games and ringtones are stored in the Apps folder.

The Sharp does this, but is still accesible via the games menu, but you just go into the downloaded games menu to retrieve them.

Hey guys i just bought the 6100, i noticed there was no radio present, do you think there would be a program you could download to support radio ?

And also is the external camera worth getting???

I've not experienced no problems really with the 3650, and I've had it since April. I've heard of people who really have some trouble with it - although these are the people who load it full of cracked software etc. Check out my homepage below if you want some more info - it's a really great phone.

Can you watch simpsons episodes on a 6100?

I'm afraid not. It's very much built-into the hardware, either your phone will have a radio or it won't.

As for the 6100 vs 3650 debate, on paper the 6100 is old technology (Series 40 / NOS) whereas the 3650 is new technology (Series 60 / Symbian OS 6). Series 40 handsets are a lot less demanding on the hardware which is why they are (at the moment) a lot smaller. This won't be the case for much longer though. Also, as has already been said, you do get the reliability factor given that Nokia have been releasing phones based on this O/S for donkey's years.

The 3650 is a very nice handset, quite a big improvement on the 7650, which was incidentally, the first ever Symbian mobile to run Nokia's Series 60 UI. Having said that I will fully agree with anyone that says the 3650 looks a bit like a fisher price phone, and Nokia really did do themselves no favours with that wacky circular keypad. If you want a Nokia smartphone that's not like a breeze block, then I suggest looking at the 6600, runs Series 60 v2 on Symbian OS 7 and it's a big improvement in both software and form-factor (i.e. it's smaller).

Or if you want something a bit different why not look at the Sendo X, which runs Series 60 (version 1 I think). A very nice small & lightweight camera-phone from a British-based manufacturer. Wooo!

Phew. I think that's quite enough Symbian talk from me.

Does the Nokia 6100 display anything of nokia, or when it comes on does it show o2 and the bubbles, like the Samsung V200?

Oh and where is it cheapest on o2 or upgrade?

Go for the Sendo X! go for the Sendo X! Go for the Sendo X! I promise it will be great

I prefer the Nokia 6100, because the Sendo x is heavier, and also the Nokia 6100 is reliable.
