Hi all,

Where can i get Nokia Multimedia Converter? Its found in the PC Suite? The problem is im not able to use the pc suite becoz i do not have a bluetooth dongle.

My friend are using Nokia 3660 PC suite which enable him to convert a sound file into .wav and the size is suprisingly small and yet the quality is still there.

help please.

thanx.

1. software to use to cut videos?
U can Use winavi, herosoft ....

2. software to use to convert videos into 3gp or avi?
Use Nokia MultiMedia Converter to creat 3gp files, use SmartMovie conver to creat avi file
3. smart movies only support avi?
may be, its not support .3gp files
4. what is the resolution that is playable on QD?
best in 176*208 (just try above video convert programs, its auto resize video res)
5. can mp3 files be set as a ringtone?
U must convert it to amr or Wav to set as ringtone
6. when converting into wav files, which frequency to choose so we can have minimal size w/o sacrifising too much on its quality?
I use 8000hz/8bit/mono , but its depend on yours kind of sound!

hi again,
are our messages stored in the phone memory? Well, if yeah, can we change it so the messages are stored in the MMC card instead. i have this problem when my friend try to send an mp3 file to me via bluetooth. since the messages are stored in phone, and our phones only have 3+ Mb, its impossible to receive the file. halfway thru the sending, it will ask u to clear some memories.

anyone can help me out on this?

thanks.

I hv a same problem like the one here. U c I hv 6 QD game in total in my MMC with other file like mp3, the problem is when I played a game (any of it) the game will be like "busy" for a while (arond 2 minit) everything went so slow and make the game quality down. I had try to reduce the MMC available memory from 20MB to 40MB but didn't help. More important when playing multiplayer with n-gage these problem affect us both, I hv to admire that n-gage might not hving these kind of problem since the user had use for long time and the available memory is around 40MB in MMC. Could anyone kindly resolve everyone problem.
I really appreciated if someone know how to deal with it. Tq....Kweh.

Hello. it is good to hear so much QD fans here n I am delight to b here. I hv read though the message on post. Some are new to me and some are different opinion to me...anyway tq for the message.
There are chinese version for the QD though... it is T9fep..but I forgot the address.
It was amazing that someone still believe QD support stereo. Here I didn't agree with it, check this out!A simple test by using the mp3 play in the mp3 software in QD, listen to the different sound and you will notice it. Here I didn't hv any good sample but I notice it in this song "white reflection" song in gundam wing endless waltz.

The best easy way if downloading is a pain esp if you are in 56kbps internut connection, you might want to buy a cd from town containing those QD Games.. Costs cheap bout 5 bucks.. Bet anyone can afford it..

Hi again,
yeah, i was a lil bit doubtful too when somebody said you have an fm radio on QD as i think we do not have the tuner installed.

anyway, the radio issue is over.so who knows where we can get FREE games on the net? And if any of u have plenty of games, lets share it,shall we? Also which website provide free software download for QD?

hope to hear from u guys soon. keep posting. cheerz.

NO chance to have a radio running as there is no fm tuner (a hardware) in the QD, else the nokia guys would have a pre-installed radio software for this fone already.. But you are strongly in need of a radio, go for the nokia radio assessories (i couldn't remember its name). As for the fscaller software, don't install it to avoid the software bugs and try getting another software or a newer version.. maybe from the net if you need to save some spare change.. hehe.. Try searching fscaller.sis from google.com and install it to the MMC Card via a usb card reader or use a bluetooth dongle all up to u.. Then use SeleQ or FExplorer to install the file..

Hi all,
I knew that an mp3 player can be installed to the QD. But what about radio? I read one or two of the posts said that an fm radio software can be installed. But WHERE can i get it? and most importantly get the full version for FREE?? Help!!

Have u guys heard of fscaller? Its a great software for u to view the caller photo in a full screen mode, BUT... the ringing tone is not as what u set in the profile... or is there newer version of fscaller that solved this bug? Let me know.

thanks in advance.

p/s: email it to me or post it here :)

In terms of music, the K700i beats this fone but pure gaming entertainment, this one does it all!!! High quality 3d games be it rpg, adventure, sport, strategy, action, puzzle and more.. This baby got it all!! The K700i does not have an expansion mmc slot with a limited about 40 mb memory (poor for keeping mp3) but the QD does.. The Qd is also one of the most cheapest symbian fone around.. The K700i is not a symbian fone and having an unknown processor unlike the QD which is 104mhz.. The other problem with QD is no video recording or camera but who cares bout that when you can tak quality videos and pics with a digital camera.. Go for the QD!!! But its all up to you.. Good luck!!!
