i think that comment was pretty dumb

Quote:The term smartphone is sometimes used to characterize a wireless telephone set with special computer-enabled features not previously associated with telephones.
In addition to functioning as an ordinary telephone, a smartphone's features may include:

Wireless e-mail, Internet, Web browsing, and fax

Intercom function

Personal information management

Online banking

LAN connectivity

Graffiti style data entry

Local data transfer between phone set and computers

Remote data transfer between phone set and computers

Remote control of computers

Remote control of home or business electronic systems

Interactivity with unified messaging



Your list doesn't mention maybe the most important smartphone feature: the ability to develop and install native applications. T630 or 6230 doesn't offer that.

it's not my list it's quoted and it's not a full list, it specifically says 'may include' and it was posted to try and hammer the point through to certain thick skulls, that the word smartphone is not universally defined, hence ppl can continue to argue forever

There are two people whose posts I can smell all the way from here: one is Malinda, the other is Flying Finn. There's nothing like some good old Nokia propaganda combined with what I assume is misplaced national pride. And for the record, I wouldn't call the 6600 smart... This message was posted from a T310

I do find it amazing how some people refuse to realise that a Symbian OS powered device with extremely capable software and applications is a smartphone. Maybe they should try the phone?

Adding a better screen and a camera to a phone which is operating system-wise only an evolution from the T68, doesn't make it a smartphone. It's the same with 6230 and, say the 6310i. There's more features and they are better but if you start decoding the package it looks pretty much the same. While Symbian OS is closer to Windows!

Jesus can't we just agree that Symbian OS/Pocket PC/whatever makes it a smartphone. (no, because you're all too busy worshiping your Z600's and T610's)

I advise if you have a T610/Z600/T630 and you think it's a smartphone, try a P800 or P900 and wake up to the truth (or don't, if it causes harm to your Nokia bashing politics).

Alternatively, if you are a blind, Nokia-hating SE fan and think the 6230 is a smartphone, without actually ever having tried the phone, or perhaps even read the specs, try it first and then a 6600 and wake up to the truth (this is seems to be more effective, since Series 60 users are often dissapointed by new promising Nokias being in their opinion the dumb old Series 40).

Not meaning to insult anyone.

why is it the darkside?



well, mixin, my dear, it is because we are on an Ericsson-based forum now. if this were a Nokia-based one then SE would be the "dark side".

anw there're no denying that the 6600 belongs to the smartphone classification. it may not be the brightest bulb in the bunch, but that doesn't make it a candle.

not trying to deny it's a smart phone trying to establish some common criteria as to what is a smart phone.

For the sake of argument, let's stick to pda-phone for comparison reasons.

And flying finn, not needing a pda or pda-phone, i seriously see no reason why i should buy a p800/900.

N6660 goes for 450 to 500 euros offline over here.

Back to the original topic: best selling smart phone says a lit about it's popularity, but little on it's specs/functions in comparison to other models.

So not sure anyway where all thi si getting at.

Finally,.... there is no dark side. Even if this is a oriented forum, doesn't mean we cannot appreciate a good model by any other company. N6600 is most succesfull and I've met quite a few happy owners of it.

So it's not for everybody. So what? neither is the P900 for that matter.

Wouldn't it be nice if everybody could just leave all others in their value for a change?
