Well how can I check the firmware version on my 6600? Also I hate all the orange crap built in the software including the screensaver and orange icons.... if the phone gets flashed will all this go? If not how can I get rid of it all?

If I install mobiclip what file formats will it let me view on the phone? And what is Fexplorer all about? Thanks.

Also how can I delete the whole contacts of my inbox and other sms folders? Have I missed something out here cos i have to delete each SMS individually!

Now you have started to hate everything! I think you need a phone without a contract.

What is up with everyone... my first post DID NOT SAY I HATE NOKIAS! If anything I said I LIKE THE PHONE!... and because of that I'm gonna give it another chance. Anyway if anyone can answer my above post that would be helpful as i've already done a search and can't find the information that I need.

What i meant was your reference to your not liking the orange personalisation. See you will get that on any contract phone.

mobiclip only plays .mb files... and you 'll have to use ...a avi convetor.

pvplayer and pvauthor are the best for simpleiet and shareable data.

but mobiclip files have the best video and soudn quality by far.

i loved my 6600 but the O/s was terribly slow compared to my old 3650... hope they speed it up.. i also had a 256 mmc which slowed it down even more.

@DragonEye

Hi, nice to meet you here.
Are you using a beautiful theme? I find that when you use a theme with heavy images, the phone will slow down a lot. However, once I change back to normal / default themes, the speed becomes alright.

n6600 never crashed..naybe once when i tried to run an ngage game... my 3650 did once or twice and gave me a please contact opertor message.


no the 6600 is brutally slow... with a 256 mmc.. don't even bother.
theme or no theme... i learned to work aorudn it when i had it.. for example if you leave the menu open in the task manager it speeds up a bit..but in generaly very very slow. just try open your pics in the gallery and you'll see what i mean. to get around that i got a new app... i can't remember the name. photosomething..... that coudl display all the pics at once like the p800/900..and that was fast

Yes. I think my 6600 is much much more stable than all my previous Sony Ericsson phones. I didn't expect this but it is really true. It has just hanged a very very few times (may be 1-2 times, I have forgetten). It is not easy to make it hangs in normal use.

By the way, to be honest, I remeber that my 6600 has switched off itself for 2 times. I don't know the reason. Maybe no battery, maybe the switch off button is accidentally pressed or maybe the phone has some failures.

Well my 6600 is fast in my opinion, and I used to close all applications (including call list and contact) when it is in standby mode. Also, it is quite normal when you open a large photos in gallery as the phone will have a real-time processing.

if all fails you should get an e200. very good ergonomics and a similar menu to se phones (in terms of shorcuts e.g 2, 2, 2 gets to sms inbox etc) cant wait for mine to be delivered.

I had the 6600 before i got the P900 a few days ago. And I must say the 6600 is a damn good fone, i wouldnt have bought the P900 if my old 3650 hadnt been stolen(though i had wanted the P900 for some time) But the 6600 is actually a very stable fone, lots of 3rd party applications and a very nice camera(better than the P900) The P900 might be a little better, but it does cost 2500Kr. more(about 200£ i guess) So i wouldn't say that the 6600 is a bad phone. Especially not concidering(?) the price

PS. Sorry for my english.

I've decided to wait for the Sendo X, which according to Sendo themselves should be released in March sometime (latest email I recieved from them) It will either be full of bugs or it will be a damn good phone!

I reckon they will have to make it bug free though because they don't have a reputation like Nokia. Nokia can release anything and it will sell because its Nokia and they can get away with dodgy firmware, but Sendo won't. Just my 2 pence.

I will sell my t610 soon and buy a 6600 as i realised that here is only 400$..and i can get 270$ on my t610!
For its features, it's cheap...i don't like Nokia but i consider doing the switch cuz it's so cheap!
