Can someone put out some pics of the screen of the phones i mentioned in the topic? Want to see how clear the 7210 is compared to the t68i.Some real pics i mean.


Posted by nwmq1
sorry, no pics, only thing I know is that it's clearer and better... I'd still go for the T68I though for some reasons

1, the 7210 is not that user-friendly compared to T68I first of all the buttons suck and no joystick, second, it hate that Nokia don't have an options button...

2, It's a Nokia, it will break... at least from the experiences I've had with Nokia earlier...

Ive had tons of nokia before.None of them broke or had software problems.Guess ive been lucky.

Do you know if it has caller id? I mean like the t68i you can have pics of friends and family and the pics pops up when they call.

Im bit dissapointed w d 7210.Browsing is just like any other nokia.Id go for d t68i.If u still want a nokia,id choose 7650,u just hv to sacrifice d size.

@jowi
But what about picture album? Can you have faces on the contact? i mean pics of friends...
I already have the t68.And im really satisfied with it.

The T68i is faster than the 7210, it is also easier to handle with the buttons. This is the opposite of what it used to be. Ericsson used to be slow, but the 7210 is slow as shit in the menus, opening pictures and going out of the menues, starting the games. And writing SMS, is painfull on the 7210 you can't fint the buttons, snd the lightening of teh buttons is really bad. The contrast in the screen is also worse than in the T68. Ad that the T68 has bluetooth so that you can play with navalfleet with your friends, it is also cheeper.

With one do you take?

Gustaf is full of shit ..

Ive tried a lot of T68I.s (newest software aswell) and none of them are as much as close to be faster than the 7210.

Menu speed And SMStyping outnumbers SonyEricsson by far!

And the screen is much brighter and sharper than the T68 .. The T68 screen doesnt support the colour "white" .. its yellowish!

The screen on the 7210 can display its 4096 colours with elegance and the smaller 256 colour t68 display is nothing in comparison..

Further on , the buttons on the 7210 has a nice click-feel when pressed and they are firm and nice... the T68 keypad is spongy and plastic like hell .. feels really lowquality..

Hello....

@Eulogy

Posted by Eulogy

T68i ---> functionality in a complete package (minus java, tsk tsk. :[ )
7210 ---> good looks, crazy button design, MMS recieve-only??? what the hell?

"Beauty is only skin deep."

If you're smart, you'll know what to choose.

And another thing, has anyone seen the 7210 advertisements as shown in MTV? IT'S SICKENING, I TELL YOU! It practically tells you
that ALL people who buy 7210's are LOSERS before they bought
the phone!

DOWN WITH NOKIA! All they do is release a MILLION
phone types instead of building a single super-phone, so they
could rack up the sales! It's a conspiracy, I TELL YOU! And,
NO, I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!!!!!! (Maybe just a little)

When is the 7210 faster than the T68? I can't remember that the 7210 was very fast entering games, going into the gallery etc. The buttons are nice to look at but are they userfriendly??? Answer is no, and very much no.

I'm not stupid I know that the 7210 has 3840 more colours than the T68. But if you look at the screen on a t68 in classic theme, it is white.

The buttons on the T68i are really good, T68i has better buttons than the T68m but the T68m doesn't have bad buttons I have a T68m and had it for a year.

Think for a while and, you understand that Ericsson have made the best phone in the world. And yes Sony didn't have anything with the T68 to do. The 7210 comes out a year after the T68 and it isn't as loaded as the T68. It doesn't have bluetooth, screensaver, caller id, post it notes, e-mail, wap 2.0 less good battery etc etc. You just have to fear the fact that the 7210 only has a good display and thats it.

Is that really true that you only can send MMS with the 7210?

Posted by gareb
You can send mms with T-68i too

Posted by Eulogy
I think he meant only receive mms with 7210 and not send.

Posted by Dj Boyi
And dont forget all the gadgets that can be stuck up the t68i's arse!

Posted by airevolt
i dreamt of having the 7210 but man i was very disappointed with it good thing i didnt bought it and instead bought my t68i as the successor to my trusty ol 8310 nufff said

i just love T68i's Post Note...does 7210 has this one? i don't think so

Oh C'mon. Be constructive.
1) If you'd try it, you'd see the buttons do not suck. They do look small, but they are quite handy as usual.
The no-joystick is just a matter of taste. The 4-way key is not very practical on 7210 (it's easier on 6610) but I still prefer it to a joystick.

2. This statement is pointless... and full of bullsh*t. At least, I've never see any phone be replaced as much as T68(i)...

t68i by no means is faster than 7210, java loads a while but t68i does not have java... i still like t68i more, i will be giving up my 7210 for gd87 anyway...
the screen on 7210 is cool but too blury and vague though ... and i think 7210 is able to both send and recieve mms, don't know that for sure though....

Posted by Super G
OF course you can both send and receive MMS with 7210.

People, please check the info on Nokia website.

Posted by ryanzb
Yeah? Last time I heard, it couldn't... Well, try sending MMS with a whopping 283 kilobytes! I'm telling you, 7210 is just for show! Other than that, it's just a paperweight with a high price tag

I don't know what you actually mean with "whopping 283 kilobytes".

None of the MMS phones cannot send 283 kB MMS messages. Simple reason is that none of the WAP gateways doesn't support that. Maximum MMS message size is 100 kB.

Instead of believing what you hear from X who heard it from Y who heard it from Z... go and read by yourself! It will help you make your OWN opinion.

I have the T68m and I have tried the (my sis's) 7210 for a couple of days. The 7210 is definitely faster, the screen is clear and pretty good. You guys must be dumb to compare a 256 and 4096?!! I couldn't even see a photo properly on my T68m. So in effect, MMS and the photo album on the T68m is basically bulls*** and I don't really use it! I uploaded a clear nice optimised photo of my buddy and he said 'who the hell is that?!' seconds later, he finally realised the truth. For a phone like the T68m/i, it's great when no one has a color screen but it's a different story now. I would loved to upgrade but I don't have the cash

That is true... Actually I think it is the T68i that has trouble with anything over 30kB.

The 7210 is out only for two days in Turkey. But today, at school I saw it in a girls hand and I loved the 4096 colored screen... If it was possible, I would just pull the screen off and replace it with my T68i's screen! Some of the pictures I can't view on my phone works perfectly on 7210... and I love the polyphonic melodies... Anyway, I love my T68i and I'm not gonna change it for a Nokia...

Posted by Deltayoda
Umm, just for your information, no color screen supports the color 'WHITE'. It is either slighty blue, yellow, or perhaps green in some cases.

Also, I don't think there is much to compare to the T68i vs the 7210. 7210 is more of a fun toy than a phone, I like it though, but I'm not buying it. The T68 is for me, as it allows me to use my IPAQ and phone together, which is good, the 7210 doesn't.

I'm hoping they release something better than the T68 and 7210 put together (With the same average size)...

Nokia make good phones but they need to be replaced too many times i've had a 7110 and i've had it replaced 16 times in 2 years! That's terrible!

Posted by [MDS]
never replaced a single nokia handset... weird huh? had about 12 different ones, no problems, except lcd flaking on the 8890

Posted by Eulogy
7210 looks nice actually.But i think i will go for the panasonic gd87 when it hits the store.Built in cam and nice design with big screen.I like that and lots of colours!

yes you are right it is brighter and t68 is yellowish but it 7210 has more problem viewing on outdoors because its too bright. oh...you can use it as a flashlight.

the keypad? well it really hurts especially if you text a lot. and ofcourse....same old nokia menu system. and that really sucks...no changes since 5110.

everyone's entitled to their 2 cents worth and here's mine (if u can't beat it , might as well join in):

a pal just got the nokia.....so i had the opportunity to fiddle with it some....the only cool thing is the speed of the menus and sms texting (no lag) but again all nokias haf this unique feature.....however u can't compare apples to oranges......the t68i is in a league of its own...in terms of package built in...like imy ringtones (polyphonic would haf been better), caller pix ID, mms (Sent/received), post it notes.......my only complaint is the speed of the menus and sms texting....maybe a later sw upgrade will fix that.....

Posted by MrSavoy
You know the Imelody ring tones we have on the T68 sound really nice imo. Yes the poly are nicer but the imelody is nothign to sneeze at. they sound nice.
