      in october 2004 i recieved this model as a gift and now its keep restarting all the time without any reason.It is not clear that it is for software or hardware.The quality of speaker is terrible and original ringtones are worst.Joystick became sick and sometimes the phone hangs.

        Hi guys,
        I have had this phone since 10 months when i was planning for either this or 6230i, but moved on to this one for two reasons:

        1. Bigger screen
        2 Series 60 Architecture (since i planned to develop some applications on Series 60)

        The problem i can see in the phone are the following:

        1. Sound quality is not good for some MIDI and MP3 files but in WAV and AAC the sound quality is better.
        2. it gets restarted occasionally, and it hangs alot.

        FM is good, but could be better.

        Camera is not good, if the picture is taken in proper light then the chances of it coming out nice are more, it has night vision but sometimes in darkness that also is no help.

        Bluetooth and Infrared are great.
        once me and a cousin were trying to catch his phone (SE K700i) via Bluetooth device, we had boths Bluetooth on and the device picked mine up first and for his we had to try some other way.

        Installation of games, ringtones, themes, softwares etc. is very easy through Nokia PC Suite.

        The Set itself is quite sturdy, i have dropped it many times even on tiles and marble and then also nothing happened.

        For people going for it, i would say also check out "Nokia 6230i" and "Nokia E50"

        Take Care

          This phone is the worst to own.I bought mine in October 2005 n it hardly last me a year.I`ll have to buy myself a new one now.It s got a software problem n the phone keeps restarting for no reason at all.The sound clarity is pathetic n it sounds like those old radio s which people used to be geared on to.When a cricket match was going on.The back cover is too loose n dont be surprised if it comes off in ur hand if u take it out of ur pocket.The photo editor does nt work n If ur planning to buy this phone better get ready for frequent trips to the service centre.THIS PHONE SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!

            I bought it in Aug 2006. Since 2-3 wks i noticed a irritating low buzzing sound when the backlight is on. This does not occur when restarting the phone, only after the nokia logo appears then the buzzing sound appears and continues every time the backlight is on. My firmware is of Jan 2006. Can this problem resolve on upgrading the firmware? CAN ANYONE HELP?

                    Hey!
                    This phone looks very elegant indeed, but the
                    sound clarity SUCKS!!The ringtones played aare so.....'92 toyota cressida tape like!And talking about the MMC slot, if you push the mmc in it in haste, the pin breaks and to hell with managing without mmc that too when the phone memory is 6 mb only and messages are stored in it,not the mmc(no option too).The video?.....*U*KS man!More like few photos being seen fast thats it!
                    And when you hold the phone near the push to talk button, the signal goes down to 1 point.And once the phone falls from your hand, dont expect to get full signal for at least 3 weeks, and then all of a sudden the reception gets better!....Only God knows how this gets Auto repaired.
                    1 more thing.....I bet you that the back cover will get so loose in about 5 months that when u put ur hand in the pocket, only the cover comes out!!!
                    Overall........its better to own a 1100 than this peice of junk.

                        This a Good Phone. It is the Best Phone on its series i.e 6600,6630 etc,, It has Fm Radio Also, And before buying i was afraid because i had read some bad comments about this phone, like it Hangs Up, restart automatically, It has Mono Mp3 Player Sound.. we i can asnwer these Questions.
                        1 = Since i bought this phone, it didnt hanged up yet, im usinng 1 gb card and its working fine my software version is 3.6 or something
                        2 = It Do No Restart Automatically, It will only restart if ur phone is infected by Virus
                        3 = If u will use Original Nokia Headphone then u will get the best Sound Quality on Mp3 player etc. Im Using Nokia 3250 Headphones and the Sounds Rocks...

                        This is the Great Phone.. Recommended.!!!

                                      Yes it can be possible but i recommend u to use 256mb, like mine, so that the fone wont run slow. The type of card this fone use is rs-mmc.
