I'd quite like a 6600 as a replacement for my 6310i. I'd like it even more if it had a stereo FM radio in it.. but its a business phone so I guess business people dont listen to the radio. there ya go

I personally want the 6650 UMTS handset. I know its a bug ridden piece of **** but I love it, think it looks deadly and the size is not an issue before anyone says it.. The first version that I used was very buggy, but the most recent version seems to be grand enough. Ohhh I love high data rates

Well i have been hunting deals for the nokia 3650 now for two months... all over the web i have been, to hundreds of websites:o .Excluding bidding sites like ebay or amazon , the best deals i found were on www.mphone.co.uk and www.fonefactory.ie . Both sites sold this handset sim free for €369. You will probly find cheaper than that on ebay but i couldn't be bothered bidding. Well, thats just the 3650.

I recommend the Nokia 3650 because it's more than a phone, it's a wireless computer! Seriously, it's got the equivalent power of a circa 1994 PC and there is a huge amount of software huge amount of software already available for it.

I'm currently testing Repligo and am amazed at being able to 'print' web pages, Office documents, etc, to a portable file format which can be viewed on the 3650, anywhere, anytime.

Just two days ago I downloaded and started using AgileMessenger which allows me to keep in constant IM contact with friends on MSN, ICQ and Yahoo IMs.

On paper the 6600 seems much better than the 3650, yet it's cheaper than it on the site I was looking at.
Anything I'm missing? Is it just cos the 6600 is so fat and ugly while the 3650 is getting so much TV airtime?
I wanna get a phone along those lines at some point, but I was wondering, to anyone who's used one, does the keypad design on the 3650 cause any problems? I'd imagine text messaging takes some getting used to with the numbers in a circle like that.

Well, it probably depends on the degree to which you've burnt normal texting into your brain. I only had one of those terrible 'one line display' Ericsson GH768s before I got this 3650 so, as you can imagine, I didn't really do much texting at all. Therefore I don't have to unlearn old habits.

I'm not the only one though who feels that the circular format actually helps to speed up text entry when you've got used to it, by virtue of the fact that there are no central text keys to get in the way.

Interesting fact, Nokia users on average send 10% more text messages than anyone other make of phone.

On that, the Nokia 6600 is not even released yet. Mind you, I reckon it would be a better phone overall when compared to the 3650. The majority of both phones features will be the same, except that the 6600 will offer support for newer technologies etc...

expansys kinda messed up last week with the 6600, they even listed it as available on the site and started processing real orders, much to the surprise/amazement of many on esato.com! (especially as the phone is only due out in Q4!!)

main differences are the screen (now a 65k colour TFT), (slightly) larger internal memory, digital zoom on the camera, Java MIDP v2.0, and it's based on the newer Symbian System 7.0s (although stilll a Series 60 device - not to be confused with the P800's Symbian System 7 UIQ) - it's being pitched as a professional/work phone (rather than at the youth/trendy market that the 3650 is pitched at)

hth,
