oh yeah, they phased that out right? 
hmm, i think the 7210's cover ( looks like alien skin  ) wont really make a big criteria for people here in the Philippines. they always come up with adaptive covers.. i.e. the could make 3310s look like 5210s for example... so i bet they'll come up with something to get over that design...in case people wont like it. |

Yea, it was put off for some reason.
There's quite many errors in the phone specs section here, but there's always other places to check info
I believe the design of 7210 is much like you either like it or then you don't... I'm not that impressed, but surely it'll appeal to a lot of people.
The design of t68m or 6610 is more my cup of tea 
And please spare me from red or blue phones
Why, oh why, must the P800 have the color of a toy? |

I had a Dummy Nokia 7210 in my hand yesterday. The phone ist quiet small and very handy. It has an Ir port. The display is very big compared to the rest of the phone. The navigation buttoms are so small!!!!!! There will be no Bluetooth.......... i think the 6610 will be better......
I still prefer my little shiny T68i, yeah Baby

What the heck is then POP PORT??!!
Is it some kind of Bluetooth?!
It seems very strange if Nokia would start their own race when all of the world has taken Bluetooth in their arms!
Please enlighten me

it's perfect for faster and better connectivity with accessories etc.
but won't replace the BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY.

If you've actually compared the Nokia 7210 (and the 6610 is like it's twin brother) against the T68i, then you would be worried.
It's thinner, slightly slimmer but a couple of milimeters longer than the T68i, it feels good in the hand and those features are pretty good.
Memory is probably a little less than the T68i, but it's dynamic like the T68i and is shared by all it's applications.
The only downside (luckily for the T68i) is that it dowsn't have Bluetooth, but this phone (and it's 6610 twin) will shift like hot cakes.
The keyboard takes a bit getting used to, but the 6610 is much better.
It has copied some of the UI features of the T68i, it has an AUTO keypad lock (and you can program in the duration before lock from 10 seconds to 60 minutes). The screen-saver is actually the same as the T68i's clock and CANNOT be changed, although it can be switched on and off. The operator logo can also be switched off or downloaded (much like it is on other Nokia's like the 8210 etc.). Finally the wallpapers are the equivalent of the T68i backgrounds. You may have noticed that there is no Nokia equivalent of the T68i screen saver - no animated gifs.
PopPort is pretty much like the Ericsson standard connector that has been used since Lithium Ion batteries were introduced (T28s onwards), but Nokia has much bigger plans for it - they already have an attachable camera (like the Communicam) for the 7210, 6610 etc.
Polyphonic is used a lot (including the Nokia theme in polyphonic glory when you switch on)! Java games are pretty cool, R-Type and Xevious type game downloads. Unfortunately for copyright protection, you cannot send or receive Java or Polyphonic ringtones from phone to phone by infrared (which is situated on the top of the phone). There is even a hole for you to loop your wrist-strap to!
It comes with changeable front and rear covers so you don't have to be afraid to scratch your phone, a stereo FM radio that you can also feed through the loudspeaker/speakerphone. No voice-memo though, so you can't make personalised voice clips on your phone and send them as MMS.
The screen is pretty good, and it can be made to be very bright (best set to 3 or 4, out of 10).
Bluetooth and voice-memo would make it the nail in my T68i's coffin, you can be lucky that Nokia doesn't plan to promote Bluetooth for the masses - yet!

My only gripe with Ericsson phones is that they're so damn slow! |

Pop-Port!@#$%^&*  
Is that you pop and the port will come out? 
Still you have to connect something in that port.
Bluetooth --> Activate then ... then ... 10 meters radius 
is that right?
Completely wireless.
I love my bluetooth.

The 7210 is expected to hit the shops in the U.K. late September/early October, the 6610 will follow a little later (probably before Christmas).
Yes, I wouldn't trade in my T68i for one of these new Nokias - I like my Bluetooth too much!
Wireless is the way to go. My Palm can do everything I want in an organiser. And Bluetooth means my phone can stay in my pocket while I use my Palm to browse the web, download email and use Yahoo! Messenger...

Hi all!
Good job, anas! But as I know 7210 has 4+2 (dowlink+uplink) GPRS, when T68(i) & 6610 has 3+1 as you said (& 6610 also has 2+2). So it should be faster GPRS in 7210. It is the one of the biggest differencies between 7210 & 6610. The second one is of cource design
ANd I think 7210/6610 CAN BE syncronized as usualy through IR (but not through BT & SyncML)...
riflogic, it is almost the same phone but with classic view 6610, if you don't like 7210's design! And it has changeable covers - so change the cover & have another design! |
