@fish, even my pc is not bluetooth enabled. You'd have to buy a bluetooth dongle for that. It costs around 800 bucks...

my desktop PC's motherboard is mercury . i have heard many people have faced trouble in bluetooth connectivity + windows XP. so, i asked if there would been a safe escape root...then certain it would be the best mobile phone i am looking for. |

If you motherboard has an usb port (which i'm sure it has!) you can use a bluetooth dongle. And it doesn't matter whether your pcs motherboard is mercury or asus...

I'm sure it is class 8 or higher... Anyways, gprs connections are not blazing fast... You'll get only dial up like speeds.. Nevertheless, i'm quite satisfied with the speed the ngage provides.

here is the link i used to see specification
http://shopping.rediff.com/sh[....]8477&frompg=_ngage%20qd_search
really very attractive features and good look like a small PC 
yes. my PC has 4 USB ports.
can i have a infrared port with any higher nokia ngage models...i like this model. i just want to have infra/cable along with this BLT.
ohh...yea, i know, but some my friends told that bluetooth depends upon motherboard . you may add a dongle in the USB port. but your motherboard may not detect that device....incompatibality. this is a big problem with bluetooth dongle added in the USB ports.s
i dont have any experience at all. i just quoted their views.
so , they told always buy a mobile has at least two modes of connectivity to a PC.
does this Ngage has any higher version which has two modes of connectivity ? |

The only other phone i can think of is the 3660. But i won't recommend it as its quite outdated. From se there's the k500 and the k700. The k5 doesn't have bluetooth...only infrared.

For your budget, the Ngage imho is the best option.
If it were a lil higher you'd have many options.
The 6600 (its still a good phone), The K700, and the likes..
The advantage of the Ngage is that its a smartphone.
You can acces almost all websites that you see on the pc with the netfront and opera browsers, chat with friends using agilemessenger or wirc, check emails using profimail, listen to music with ultra mp3 pr oggplayer.
What more do you need for about 7k??

all those things are ok . i like it.
my only hesitation is if the bluetooth does not support to my motherboard i dont have any other option to connect to my PC. thats my problem.
otherwise, the phone really rocks and personally i liked it.
is it possible to know whether my PC would support bluetooth via USB port ? i have windows XP installed. and i have mercury motherboard.
is there any way to check it out ? once i am sure there would be no problem with bluetooth , i am gonna to buy this phone.
N.B : are you posting from your phone ? are you getting the graphics of this web page ? or just the text only ? |

I can see the website as you see it on the pc.
Anyways, the only option i guess is to borrow someones ngage and a blue tooth dongle and try setting up a bt connection.
Setting up a bt connection can be a bit tricky at times.

none of my friends are aware of this phone  ...my bad luck. well, i may try to borrow a blt phone from some body and may test whether i could set it in my machine.
what other phone you recommend ? i am not fond of browse on phone ...but want to browse in the PC . so, what other phone you recommend.
please suggest , recommend phones which you have used or have seen used by others successfully. |
