> T68i vs 7210
Bookmark topic
I believe that the T68i is a "good" phone, with quite limited technical capabilities. Its way past its prime and it should be left alone to die in peace. The onlyu really good thing i like about the T68i is the bluetooth capability... I had the T68 and T68i.
It was fun 1 year ago, but not know..

Ringtones don't get it up for me - I have my phone on silent all the time anyway. I hate ringtones. And Bluetooth? Seriously, I'd prefer a $10 data cable to a $50 BT adapter. That's what I did with my T68i, and then realised BT is not so much of use to me.
But the main reason why I'm bringing up this issue is that being a developer, im very much intrigued by the possibility of being able to develop my own custom applications for my phone using J2ME - something I seriously miss in my T68i.
Take for example the default stand-by clock displays the time in big fat letters. I'd like to see the date as well, something that's as imoprtant to me as the time. In the T68i, I have no choice. In the 7210, I can get a java midlet that does it for me. If I can't find something I want, I can make it.
I don't know Java yet, but I know lots of people who do, who can make it for me for free
And what better opportunity can I find to learn a technology that simply refuses to go away from my life. Right. I hate java, JSP and all that. I prefer competing rival technologies like PHP and ASP etc. But Java will always be there. Its the bitter truth.
Another bitter truth - Nokiaiteism. Like I said, 90% of India uses the Nokia 3310. 90% of the messages I get are Nokia specific - picture messages, ringtones, whatever. I'm not saying Nokia is the best platform, but its going to be around whether you like it or not, and I'd rather be compatible, than technically advanced but incompatible.
Besides, all chicks I know dig Nokias. Whatever gets them warm

As The_EyE mentioned earlier, the Nokia MMS is really lousy. The SonyEricsson implementation is lightyears ahead.

hahah they're called gulab jamuns
Gulab means Rose, but the jamuns contain no known Rose related extract or anything!
From nature back to technology, another thing in India is that Nokias have a high resale value. An unlocked T68i will cost me approximately US$300, and the next day if I go and try to sell it back to them, they won't give me more than $190 for it. Thats under 66% of the original price. A nokia sells for almost 80%-90% depending on the condition and warranty and all that.
I plan to follow a three or at max six month upgrade cycle with my phones - sell them while I can and get newer phone. If I want to save money, I'll stick to Nokias. I'm eyeing the 7210/6610 right now, later upgrading to a 7250. The camera is so nicely integrated into the phone on that one ... ooo
And CHICKS WILL DIG IT CUZ ITS A NOKIA!

Well.. to the person who liked java som much... You can not use it to make your phone show date on the screensaver... The 7210 does not work like windows. you can not have java programs running in the background. The java program must be run to have any sort of affect on the phone. Don't get me wrong.. I'm all for java. But it's not usable for much more than games and simple applications like currency converters and the like.
If you want a phone you can make programs for the way you do you'll need the 7650 or the p800(would be my choice).
Why? because they use symbian. so you can use symbian applications.
Plus the fact that 7210 has a f**ked up keyboard, cheap build quality, an insane error rate, bad plyphonic ringers(only 4 simultaneous sounds) of course this is better than the t68is beeping but it's still bad.
You have to pay for everything(java applets,ringtones,backgrounds and the like) the standard nokia way(drove me insane when I had my 3510, I could never get hold of poly ringers which are sp-midi and not standard midi like se and others use).
not too mention the horridly outdated menu system.
The radio is more of a subjective thing. I never listen to radio so I won't miss it. Not to mention that you can buy an addon radio for se phones. And an mp3 player.
