My advise would be go to the shops and play with them thats what I did.
7710 took it by far. It was such a step up fro what I had and what was around.
Remember later this year, you'll be able to receive tv on your 7710.

GUYS I NEED UR HELP ASAP.
I'm trying to figure out w/c fne to buy .. my choices are:
1) Nokia 7710
2) Ericsson p910i
3) O2 mini
which is the best one with the most number of capabilities that "hang-up" the least? ... im most intrestd in purchasing the 7710 but the only drawbacks i can think of (from reading reviews and spec of these 3 phones) are:
a) its so big it'd be akward to ak2ly receive calls without using headphones
b) the price for nokia units go down very fast, and if i buy it now, i'd probably regret not waiting like a week or sumthing to save around $50.
help me puhlz ... ahuhuhuh .. i've been havin this dilemma for the past 5 days ... cudn't even sleep well bcoz of this ... *sigh*

you have to remember that symbian is an Operating System - and there will always be people who like to get it to do what they want regardless how 'possible' it is...
just ask yourself, do you want to get your phone into the same sort of mess that a PC can get into...
If you are not **absolutely** sure what you are doing, you could turn it into scrap metal!!! and not even nokia, etc will want to know anything about it!!!

Nokia 7710 is a very good phone. But it's almost impossible to text while walking. Ive already maximize the 128MB with mp3 songs and it produces strong quality sounds via headphone. Im planning to buy 1GB for this phone for my presentations and sheets. Worth buying.

Hi,
Me thinks your getting confused, dual chip in the past meant you can put 2 sim cards in your one phone hearby receiving 2 lots of calls.
It cant change your whole interface of your phone. Surely... can it??
Im not convinced.
Subject change has anyone experienced tomtom on the 7710 yet??

I've beeing using 7710 for a month now. This is my first PDA phone which is thin enough to slip it into my front pocket. Speaker phone is amazing, simply turn the loudspeaker and keep the phone anywhere on the front dash and you could speak and listen without making an extra effort. Batterylife is amazing, Unlike my Imate Pocket PC edition I just need to charge it once a day for an hour and the battery is good for 24 hours use. Its takes time to get used to the one hand operation.

Battery life:
Fully charged to 2 bars remaining with constant use (playing games) took 10 hours, so battery life is pretty good. I did have to reboot the machine this morning as it woud no longer text, but then as I have had lots of games crashing while I've been testing them, I'm not surprised really. Rebooting took a very short period of time and starting apps this morning was very quick. I've noticed that if you have multiple apps open (such as the mp3 player playing) then the phone does get very slow. With 1 app at a time, it is quite fast.
MP3's take between 1 and 4 mb each at top quality and games are between 100kb and 2mb as an average.
Games that work so far (picodrive): 777 casino, aladdin, cannon fodder, chess, warriors of the eternal flame?, frogger, golden axe, lemmings, the haunting, mega bomberman, phantasy star, super mario world, tetris. I may well test all the games and post a comprehensive list as I am "between jobs" at work right now. Oh and I'm a computer programmer, so I have some testing experience ;o)

The 7710 is slow(er) than other phones. However, as I've come from a 6600, I think its nippy enough (its about as fast as the 6600). I have to wait maybe 5 seconds for some applications to open up and sometimes those applications then close down. I have had it only two days, so some of the closures may be due to me typing wrongly. Battery wise, I heard the same, but I have played with it a serious amount and so far its up to normal nokia standards. That said, I heard that you should reduce the screen brightness to 50% (which I have) to get better battery life. I'm sat running mp3's and games through it and its not died or lost a single bar after 3 hours.
I would say I keep thinking I'm going to drop it (as its smooth) or scratch the screen and I feel it wouldn't appreciate getting dropped. It is very slow to text and the volum is not fantastic either through the speaker or the headphones (certainly you'll not go deaf).
That said, I love that I can listen to the radio, play my albums (real easy to upload), most sega megadrive games (without sound), take good photos (far, far better than my 6600) an hour of video, read Word, Excel and Powerpoint files, watch videos (they are a little bit choppy in full screen), use it as a dictaphone (very easy), the convertor is really great as its the book reader. All in all, after JUST 2 days, I would rate it very highly. I spent ages looking through phones and went for this in the end (it was this or the 9500 in the end). The 9500 looks like a brick though.
Anyway, I have to find a better wma to mp3 convertor as the one I tried is cutting off the end of songs. I also better let other people reply on this thing as I haven't even read the manual properly. :o)

Just so you know, picodrive works well, but quite a few of the ROMS do not. They either dont let you start them or they crash or are unplayable.
I've got Lemmings, Golden Axe and warriors of the eternal flame to work. Duke Nukem, 12 in 1, The Haunting, Lotus Turbo Challenge M1 Abrams and Xenon fail. Warriors of Rome is a bit unplayable. Oh and before anyone says, Picodrive has no sound and I can't as yet download any MAME ROMS, but I have got Emame working.
