This thing looks pretty cool. Possibly a Japanese phone ported over for GSM use by the look of it? Anyone know any details ? Size / wieght etc? Its available now in the UK including camera for £199 thats on a prepay not contract.

Yeah, that's the totaly new "UGLY-Phone"
Posted by New Beetle
The picture on the link I posted is not the best, its kinda squashed, its more of a long slim shape?
Can't seem to find much info around the net on this?
Posted by New Beetle
come on people somebody must know something?
Posted by riflogic
its bloody ugly
Posted by New Beetle
Actually I wasn't really after personal opinions of the asthetics of the phone, more hard facts of size, features, weight etc?
Posted by New Beetle
Come on you guys are usually so "IN the Know" Gimme some info?
Posted by Deltayoda
Sorry, I have no idea what it is. It looks like a fat version of the Sagem X-5.
I can't find much information about it on Google either.
Posted by New Beetle
If you look at the pic on this link I think it is kind of slim and long rather than the squashed appearance in the original link?

You can buy it from Argos in the UK. Have a look at their catalogue if you are very interested; but personally I feel the handset is not nice att. Just my opinion.

Hey. I bought that phone yesterday when i found that the p800 wasnt coming out and they didnt have the 7210. It is really good, especially for 200 quid. You plug the camera in to the bottom of the phone so you can beem it to the display straight away. It has about 4mb storage for everything, a 65,000 colour display. Its only just bigger than the t68i, and in my oppinion alot better, for the price. it doesnt have as many features but the screen is great.

Danny, cool, take a pic of the new phone next to a t68, and post it, also , any more details would be good, maybe a mini review?
Posted by New Beetle
Takes ots of pics using the phones camera, actually of the phone so we can see what it really looks like.
Posted by riflogic
Danny,
Are you positive the screen is 65K. I remembered reading it only supports 4096 colors. Could you pelase confirm this mate. Thanks.
Posted by New Beetle
Not sure if T-mobile lock their phones to their network? Have you tried another sim card in the phone to see?
Posted by dannykipling
yeh its locked. sorry, it is 4096 or whatever . Its got picture phone book, polyponic ringtones, and you can record your own like on the sonys. Hasnt got gprs, only wap. It says on the box that you can download yours pics to your pc but it doesnt have the right connectors unless you use i.r which my comp dont have, so it think it means from. The phone is about the same weight as the 8850 so around 90g, the camera is lighter but nearly as big. The pictures are not great but what would you expect. 60 - 100 pictures in high quality can be stored, it has 3 settings for quality. I left my camera in collage so i cant take any pics yet as it has no mms. im not in till the 24th. Ill try a web cam somewhere. i didnt play with it that much, i got a samsung t100 aswell, most of my time was on that. only bought them cos the p800 wasnt comin out any time soom and i didnt want to walk round ith 500 quid.
Anything else?
Posted by New Beetle
Yeah whats it like to use? Are the polyphonics any good? How good is the screen compared to the samsung? Does it look stylish in the flesh? Or like a bit of an oddball? I am thinking the screen is bigger than anything else? bigger than samsung?
Posted by dannykipling
the screen user interface is a bit like the samsung. the screen size is a bit smaller. the colours are very clear and crisp although i couldnt find a contrast changer thing. out of my phones (t68,t68i,8310,t100,i128,and other shite) it comes second in looks and feel to the samsung. in features 3rd to the t100 and t68i. and over all 2nd to the t100 cos it is 100 quid less than the t68i and has the camera.
Posted by New Beetle
What do you like so much about the T100? I was thinking it was pretty basic phone?
