Why the Nokia 6600 Might Be Better Than
a Treo
12/19/2004 03:01 PM

nokia_6600slate.jpg  imagePaul Boutin has a nice write up of the Nokia 6600 over at Slate, putting that relatively staid phone up against the Treo 650 and explaining why the generally less-impressive Nokia might be a better choice for many. It all boils down to the beauty of Series 60, to me. Nokia may be a heartless ice queen running down freedom on her iron, lawyer-pulled sleigh, but she makes an amazingly polished operating system for phones. It's not as PC-like as Palm or Windows Mobile, but it puts the phone functions first, instead of hidden behind layers of intelligent abstraction. That's worth a lot—especially when the phones are essentially free.

Plus there's still plenty of whiz-bang to be had from a Series 60 phone. People still marvel that I can get to a terminal on a Nokia 3650 and that phone is like two years old. (Thanks, John!)

Nokia 6600 review


Nokia 6600 review 12/03/2003 08:36 PM
BoingBoing pal R. Emory Lundberg just reviewed the apparently ubergruven Nokia 6600:
[The] all-in-one organizer, information manager, and mobile communicator that you may have been waiting for. If the Nokia 3650 was too playful for your lifestyle, you should consider this handset as a way to communicate, organize, and lighten the load in your pocket. Generally I prefer separate devices. I really like the Palm Tungsten T3 (review) and find it a very capable tool. But there are times when I just want my schedule and contacts with me, and don't need to work on Office documents on the go, and the Nokia 6600 has quickly become my handset of choice.

kim_cell.jpg imageI didn't really want to see that new movie "Cellular" before, but after hearing that it's about "getting [viewers] to identify with the frustrations of the police officer as he attempts to track down and rescue Ms. Basinger" using a crappy Nokia cellphone, I sort of started thinking that was maybe a little too close to real life to want to have to experience vicariously. The portrayal of cellular service - including the customer service - is apparently so awful in the movie that none of the American carriers approached allowed their service to be used in the film. I wonder if Kim Basinger sort of freaks out in the movie and twitches a lot like she does in real life? I would maybe pay to watch that.

NOKIA_7280.jpg imageOkay, so Nokia just dropped three phones onto us, and they're pretty crazy, and by 'crazy' I mean 'sort of ugly.' I have to cop to sort of liking the Tron-style and the asymetrical design - the one round corner, one square corner 'new Nokia' look - but I have a feeling I'll be in the minority. Would it kill them to just release a nice, silver phone that you could take home to mom?

Anyway, here's the breakdown, and I'll probably go after this post in a couple of waves. The one pictured here is the Nokia 7280, which you might notice doesn't have a keypad. That's because Nokia designed it to be "sleek," "sexy," and "edgy." (I'm not joking.)

256MB version of 6600 to come


256MB version of 6600 to come 09/11/2004 03:58 AM
IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE to build a card that will have 500/1000MHz clock and still have more than 128MB memory and sell it for less than $200. At least this is how Nvidia feels. A 128 Mbit memory clocked to 1000MHz still costs too much. As for a 6600 standard card clocked at 300MHz core and only 500 MHz memory it won't be any problem to make a 256MB card and sell it to all that worship at the altar of massive amounts of memory.

09/23/2004 07:13 AM

headset_gps_nkoi.jpg imageAnd last but not least (if you're reading from the bottom up; otherwise, welcome to the Nokia posts!) are these two new peripherals from Nokia, a new Nokia Wireless Headset HS-11W headset with a 6 hour talk time, and this Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-1W that also connects to your phone or PDA via Bluetooth (the GPS may not actually be new - it seems sort of familiar - but I don't exactly recall hearing about it before). The GPS unit uses the same battery and charge plug as most Nokia phones, so you can use your existing charge to go along with it.

The headset should be out later this year, while the GPS unit isn't scheduled until Q1 2005.

nokia_1600.jpgNokia announced their 1600 and 1110 models, meant to be affordable, easy-to-use and light on frills. Nokia is targeting developing nations with these models and they look well enough to suit their purpose as part of a plan to eventually offer mobile service for just $5 a month. They both feature talk times of over 5 hours and the Nokia 1600 has a 65k color screen while the Nokia 1110 uses a sunlight-friendly inverted black and white display. They're expected to retail for $105 and $85, respectively, and will be available later this year.

My New Treo 600 03/08/2004 11:18 PM
Well, it was a close call between the PalmOne Treo 600 and the Sony Ericsson P900, but I've gone with the Treo. The P900 has a much better Web browser, a better camera, better multitasking and in many ways a better user interface. But the Treo has a thumb-keyboard, which for me is essential, and zillions of Palm OS applications that run nicely and enhance the device.
