Nokia 3250 loudspeaker is better than the 6230i's.

i email nokia the reply is, no, the camera flash pd-2 is not compatible with 3250. T_T
anyone actually tried it with 3250 b4? will it get a 'enhancement not supported' message?

    according to this website:

    http://www.econweb.com/MacroWelcome/sandd/summary.html

    there is NO law of supply and demand, there are two separate laws: the Law of Supply and the Law of Demand.

    i think the LAW OF DEMAND will really tell y d price of a good is dropping fast or slow.

    "The Law of Demand holds that other things equal, as the price of a good or service rises, its quantity demanded will fall, and vice versa"

    in other words:

    the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded

    OR

    the higher the price, the lower the demand and the lower the price, the higher the demand

    http://www.socialstudieshelp.com/Economics_SupplyDemand.htm

    perhaps that clears it up!

    or u can put it this way, nokia a cellphone maker who also has a supplier for the hardware parts of their phones like loudspeakers, earpiece, covers, paints, chip boards, IC's and others that they don't manufacture. so if the demand is high it means that nokia can BARGAIN price to their supplier at a much lower cost bcoz they have d projected volume by the way d market is doing, then nokia can offer their phones at a lower price! makes sense! for example if u'll ask a supplier for d price of a plain white XL T-shirt with lets say 100 pieces they will give u $100 but if u say ur volume is 1000 pieces u can really ask for a bargain for SURE! : )

      terry@sg:
      u can download the latest pc suite version to convert ur CDs into AAC or eAAC+. u may also want to try eAAC+ with bitrate 48kbps, it has almost d same quality with relatively small size than tracks encoded at 128kbps AAC, dont take my word for it, try it and u'll know

        hey viperkid (My best Man)

        Help required....my music has stopped playin when i twist the phone to the music mode, the only way i can play it is by going to the gallery and selecting the track which i wanna play, so i can listen to only one track at a time.

        I had also downloaded themes from mobile themes.com onto my mobile which were easily installed initially but now i am not able to install any more themes onto my phone (its not coz of the lack of memory coz i ve aplenty)

        Also the snakes game and the mobile gallery application have stopped functioning.

        SO u c, i am in kinda deep shit. Expert opinion required immediately....Thanx

          Initially, the phone looks bulky but the more I see it, the more i like its brick-look design.

          Althought the performance may not be excellent, but for a non-fussy user like me who want a phone that can basically make calls and sms, all those added features are a bonus to me at a lower cost.

          I dont carry phone in my pocket as I scare I may drop it when sitting down so I always keep it inside my bag so size doesnt matter =)

              I was just wondering, when nokia 3250 was released here in the philippines, the selling price was about P24000 but now (barely a month) it went down to P18000...

              Law of supply and demand guys, if no one is buying it then lower the price

              compared to SE, like s700i for example... I bought is about two years ago at 24000 (but of course i replaced it with a walkman fone last year) but I went to a local shop and they are still selling at P20000...

              SE doesn't depreciate that much

              again law of supply and demand guys

              another example.

              n90 and w900 were released almost at the same time with almost the same price like P35000. But now n90 is cheaper than w900

              why why why...

              I bet that after 3 monthe 3250 while go down to like P12000 unlike w900 who will still be selling about P29000-P32000

              why would phone depreciate that much
              here are a number of reasons

              1. people not really buying it
              2. poor performance

              I guess #1 reason doesn't really apply to nokia, since more people love nokia phone (for whatever reason)...
              the #2 reason is more believable i think

              hey nokia 3250 is a good phone

              But nothing beats a walkman phone

              And guys admit it, you had a walkman when your a kid back in the 80's and both you and I know the quality of sony walkman what more if you apply that technology in mobile phones.

              Nokia is the market leader no doubt, but hey look at Dell computers, they're the #1 best selling computers in america, but not necessarily the best in quality

              same analogy goes with sony ericsson...

                well well...its been much hip hop for nokia 3250 and SE phones, im gonna buy one soon (hopefully NOKIA), the brand value counts dammm...

                Hey Viperkid, have u heard the sound of Nokia 6230i on loudspeakers? Cud you please let me know that Nokia 3250 is more good than that or not?

                Hey SE guys, Nokia entered into the world of digital sound with a big banggg with Nokia N series and 3250. In no more time SE will be no where.

                  To rip a CD to AAC try http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos as it's free. DO NOT convert MP3's to AAC. You convert one lossy to another and you will lose some quality. As to viperkids comments about getting more files on this phone. Size does not mean quality. Smaller file size means lower quality. AAC is only just as good as MP3 but not quite.

                    this phone is damn ugly. i tried it in the phone shop and it feels like a brick in your hand. why do nokia insist on bringing out these ugly phones? they used to be the best at one time and now they are lagging behind and trying to be different by making fashion phones that are UGLY!

                              You rock Viperkid!!! Arj must be regretting the moment he bought that bugs-ridden toy of his. Moreover he is not getting any support from the company responsible for his misery. SE is not doing antthing for the bugs even now. May be they are clueless what to do. This is another example one should not think of hiding the sun. It is impossible!!! What say Arj bebeh?

                                  Arj:

                                  maybe u should b d one to read first b4 u answer. yes i told u don’t have 3250 so wats d problem, perhaps ur jealous bcoz ur W810 has BUGS which currently can’t b fixed by ur OTA software upgrade! of course u got W810 and its better, ur kidding? paying too much for such a toy phone with BUGS!?! ur just trying to relieve urself from d pain ur experiencing of getting an expensive phone with stup*d BUGS! internal mem s not an issue as long as there is an expansion slot and besides wats way essential and important is the RAM in a device so u can run many apps simultaneously and enjoy multi tasking!

                                  wat i meant there was u have to manually categorize ur files in W810 and u can see piled up music files not having separate folders like composer, artist, album, genre, et al. unlike 3250 which is done almost automatically (as long as u’ve entered d tags). pls stop bigging up W810, u hav no chance.. plus d fact that u can only fit in approx 130 to 150 tracks (in 512mb) only on d more expensive memsticks in W810 poor! versus 280 – 320 tracks approx in 3250 (with 512mb) bcoz it recognizes eAAC+! also, W810 does NOT have (by entering first letters) a SEARCH function on d music library, how BURDENSOME! is dat wat u call a WALKMAN Phone??? definitely a GIMMICK! SE needs to learn how to make walkman phones with search function, i pity u Arj.. ; (

                                  now ur saying u still have to assign a button for d music player contrary to wat u said dat u hav to go through the menu blah blah and u hav to twist 3250’s keypad, so wats d BIG DEAL there?? r u dat LAZY man/gurl??? HAHAHA! d point there was u can still do it! ur lost… again ur jealous bcoz ur beloved W810 can only dream of twisting its keypad…

                                  re keypad locking, every1 knows ur dat LAZY so for u its cumbersome. but its an added security and a plus factor for owners who does not want unauthorize access to d phone without switching d phone off! can W810 do that? answer NO!

                                  of course me and many others cares about 3rd party apps! of course symbian 9.1 version can also accept unlicensed softwares, ur just blind i guess.. here’s d link:

                                  http://symbian-freak.com/news/006/04/sexplorer_v07.htm


                                  W810’s video editor is just a video DJ and want to act 1 and i've tried it, its quite POOR! it does NOT even come close to nokia’s video editing software bcoz it has “REAL” editing features! can u install quickword on W810? no u CANNOT!

                                  yeah sure u must NOT compare 3250 to W810 bcoz W810 is way more expensive and has stup*d BUGS and does not have symbian OS with POOR music management wyl 3250 is more affordable that will give u excellent music management with more format supported with somewhat d same quality in inbox earphone and has definitely better loudspeaker! so wats d point of buying expensive W810 if u’ll be getting it with software PROBLEMS!

                                  there is no need for us to meet sometime and compare phones coz u’ll juz end up crying and surely loose and give me ur BUGGY W810, but no thanks, i don’t want to INDULGE on all known BUGS CONFESSED by W810 users on that forum, plus d fact dat i will eventually junk ur W810 to d garbage man! besides i don’t want to experience drop calls with W810! GTG, im here with my other cousin house who recently swapped his BUGGY w810 to 3250, all he can say is WOW at last no IRRITATING BUGS!

                                      Hey rock! well, I guess it depends on what you are really looking for. Coz i dont really use those apps you mentioned. As for the FExplorer, I had that on my Ngage QD, w/c had the white screen of death, but its fixed now. The w810i has a file manager and its almost the same. The SE has its own videoplayer and editor w/c can play mp4 so I dont really need that smartmovie player app u mentioned. I dont see the need of having 2 apps of the same use in 1 phone. The only app I liked in symbian was the Yewnes emulator w/c u will have to wait for since it cant be used w/ the new symbian version yet. But I already have a gamephone and I want a music phone.

                                      BTW, is it hard to text w/ the headset or charger connected to the side? U have to be left-handed to do this I guess.

                                      Symbian may be better in software for some, but what I am complaining about 3250 is more on hardware, w/c cant be fixed or upgraded. The minor complaints u hear abt w810 are more on sw which can be fixed and upgraded.
