Hi Tink, well a couple of suggestions. Firstly, have you looked at the good
old 6600? Nice phone, pretty conventional keypad, a lot smaller than the
3650 as well. Newer versions of talks work very well on it as well. I
agree with you on the keypad of the 7610, a little strange. You might like
to look at the newer 6670 which is very similar to the 7610 but a much more
conventional keypad. I haven't actually seen this phone myself so can't
actually speak with authority on that one. Another phone to look at is the
Nokia 6260. It's Nokia's new smart flip phone. Very very nice and with a
very vconventional keypad inside but you might find them a little tacky.
Sound system on this phone is far better than the 6600 and it has more
memory in it. It's only draw back is that you can not have the volume of
talks really quiet on it. It's ok and not overly embarrassing but a little
inconvenient if you don't want anyone to possibly overhear you. A good
solution though is to use a bluetooth headset or the wired one that comes
with it.
Hope that helps Tink.
Steve
All,
I'm thinking about replacing my Nokia 3650 with another phone that will also support the Talks software. The reason being that I can a, never get the damn thing connected to my computer via bluetooth and b, can never hear it ring unless I'm practically sitting on it.
My requirements are buttons that are reasonably easy to distinguish. I looked at the 7610 (I think that's the one with the wavy keypad design), but didn't find it very easy, a bloody loud ring, preferably that doesn't mean I have to have the Talks volume up to maximum too get it, and a usb or wired connection to a computer.
Hopefully some of you will have had experiences or knowledge that will help. Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, TInk.
