Nokia 7710

A lot of Nokias are made in China so I heard on another site.
Ref the 7710 and iMate Jam, I have the 7710 (obviously) and my fiancee has just bought the Jam, so I know a bit about both.
Jam has more software available, is lighter smaller, probably more robust and stable. The main reason she got it rather than mine is the stability and the improved Office compatibilty. She needs something more reliable.
Downside is the camera is very, very poor (worse than my old 3650), the screen is smaller (but has the same pixel count as the HTC Blue Angel, so is sharp), it has no radio, has limited available memory (57mb) so you can run out of it (it takes a 2gb mmc card though for apps), yellow tint to the screen (as do some 7710s) and its not as easy to use as the 7710.
All that said, if you dont need the big screen and the radio of the 7710 (web surfing and reading is far better on the nokia and I read a lot on it as I use it as a travelling book and d/l free pooks from Gutenburg), then get the Jam. It is more reliable and has more apps and is smaller. The Jam is supposed to have poor audio quality and its bluetooth stack is intermittent (so it loses the headset etc) and also it has no voice dialing I believe. Oh, it also has no wi-fi (but then the 7710 doesnt either).
If I had to choose, it would be a tough one, but I would go for the 7710 just, and that would be for the bigger screen and far better camera (one of the best on any phone). If I needed reliability more and less of a gimick phone and more apps, I'd get the HTC Magician. Indeed, my next phone may well be a HTC.
Hope that helps.

Recently purchased 7710. Good phone however a little heavy. Overall good performance. Sound should have been a bit louder.

Thanks for the help. If I get this one, I will be taking it back to the US with me to run on T Mobil. Hope it will function. Need to contact them first. So long as it can handle an email client, I can push the email from our Domino server to the phone. With my current moto, I can do it by the phone number@tmo.....com but the space is verrry limited.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your comments Castillo (my PC has been a bit sick). You cannot easily upgrade the firmware yourself. You need specialised equipment. Take your phone to a nokia care centre.
The phone is about as fast as my 6600 (maybe faster) and speed improves with each firmware upgrade, as does stability. Also, make sure you use Switcher (Task manager isn't as good) and dont have the memory card almost full (you can also defrag it in a card reader, but I'm not sure how much benfit that gives).
I think its a great phone. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Depending on your location, Nokia firmware updates are limited, i.e. not as current as other region releases.
At your area, 3.5 is the current version.

Sorry for the delay but I've sent you the pictures, and to get your device flashed to the newest efficient firmware, you would have to meet the requirements and be at a Nokia Care Center. Since these phones are not yet USA released* the Nokia Care Center would be located Internationally, you should send it to a fmaily member across country and have them check for a Nokia Care Center.
Requirements:
Proof-Of-Purchase, Reciept of some kind to prove you bought the phone, a valid 12-month warranty period.
Or Pay the fee.

hi im eugene here in SG.
I wud like to share my experience with Nokia 7710. I bought this phone a few days it was lauched here last March. Like most of you i find it slow and occasionally hangs. I must admit im kinda abusive on discovering the features and capabilities of this phone by loading a lot of stuff like multimedia, games, and applications. Last month my phone just hanged and a message appeared that its firmware was corrupted after restarting it then would not load anymore. So I went to Nokia care center for reloading of fw and hoping they already have a newer firmware. They flashed the fw v3.26. This did not fix the problem and it became worst it restarts / shutsdown by itself. So i had to return it to the service center. Now they already replaced the board with a new one which has diff imei number.
I want to think that this is just a bad luck and hav thought of selling this but with the good experiences Im reading here i would still want to stick to this phone. Another reason is that there is no other phone that comes close to it for now. It is still the best phone in the market. I hope we can expand 7710 supporters by exchanging and updating everyone with new free/full version softwares.
Witchking, do you have the full version of the games you mentioned like skyforce, minner, etc. please send me a copy please please. . . I hav tried the demo version of these and they ROCK, the coolest things. Picodrive has a newer version that already has audio enabled for some of the games. For file management, use the powerfile. For themes, the OS_X handango looks great. also the switcher is very useful
'til next
