Posted by gadgetboytom
hold up thats the phone that runs 7650 software isnt it?

• Integrierter E-Mail-Client
• GPRS
• Bluetooth
• Java
• MMS und EMS
• Polyphone Klingeltöne
• Triple Band (900, 1.800, 1.900 MHz)
• WAP 1.2.1
• Internetbrowser

A built in camera should also be an option but I can't see where it is located.

Posted by gadgetboytom
sounds identical to 7650

Posted by gadgetboytom
anyone?

Posted by gadgetboytom
hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo?

Posted by Rickstur
What more do you want to know?????

Posted by Rickstur
For example one site is saying it has the same screen as the s55 which is 256 colors, an other site is saying 4096 colors and is also confirming the built in camera.

But if it's true ?

Posted by gadgetboytom
does it run 7650 software?

Posted by Rickstur
I really don't know but the 7650 runs on symbian right?

Yep, i have doom on it right now......its a nice phone

Posted by Rickstur
Just saw a site that claims it will have a 65.000 color screen. So a lot of confusion about this huh!!

here the say it is based on symbian like 7650:

Posted by gadgetboytom
yeah thought so its not symbian like p800 is platform 60 (sort of symbian but nokia re-wrote it)

Posted by [MDS]
So any new info on the screen depth.... if it is 65k ---> i want it badly
if it is 256 colors ---> no freaking way i'll get it... and if it 4096 i will thing about it...
but seriously, are these pics real size, cause if that s55 pretty much the same size as t68i, and now here this phone looks smaller than the s55, this means it will be a smartphone with a smaller form factor than a regular handset.... now that is f*****g great, if that is the case it will surely be a hit.... the design is very nice as well...

Definitely not! However, it might use Series60 platform. Yes, 7650 is a Series60 device also, but platform and device software are a bit different thing.

Posted by Super G
I wouldn't be too sure it actually runs series 60 paltform. But I might be wrong...
To my humble understanding, series 60 also implies a given screen resolution. This SL55 screen is anything but that of 7650.

Posted by gadgetboytom
they did a deal with nokia to use 7650 software a while back this could be it?

Posted by Super G
I would more believe it is a copy product of S55, but with a sliding keypad ŕ la 7650, and not a smart phone.

Posted by Super G
Here we go:

I found this on www.nokia.com

"Series 60 platform mandates a screen with a resolution of 176x208 pixels, two soft keys and a 4-way navigation among other elements"

So this SL55 is not using a series 60.
I even doubt it be a smart phone at all.

No, they didn't. They made a deal to use Series60 platform.

Posted by Rickstur
This baby is so nice. New Pictures!









The only thing I hope is that its not a 256 color screen like the S55

Posted by levin_tom1
It doesn't look like a smarthphone to me, it does look like attractive phone but with simple OS, not something like PPC or SYMBIAN.

what software does the 7650 run then?

Posted by gadgetboytom
looks like my next phone then

Posted by Rickstur
@levin_tom1

You could be right about that. It crossed my mind to. But in the early beginning from the sl55 the talk about smartphone so my guess is that we have to wait.
