Stereo BT on the nokia 6131?
at the bottom of the page it says
"Although Nokia considers it mid-range, the 6131 is fairly feature-packed, including quad-band GSM, EDGE, stereo Bluetooth, a megapixel camera, and a microSD card slot."
but that is the only place i see that says it has stereo bluetooth. can anyone confirm that it does?

How's the W950's keypad?
this seems like a really cool device, despite the lack of camera, i'm just wondering how the 'flush' feeling keypad felt. Especially the dedicated music keys (they looked cramped)
thanx in advance rich

is it quadband, or am i dreaming. i did just wake up 🤣

The music keys are actually the 1 2 3 keys. No sepaate keys. That part works fine.
But I hated the keypad. Thought it was terrible.
Eric liked it, though, so it's all subjective.

Microsoft/Virgin/BT
I've been reading about this "partnership" between Microsoft, Virgin and BT to work together on a mobile TV effort called Movio.
Anyone have any thoughts on why MS and VM would attach themselves to a platform that plans to use DAB, rather than DVB-H? From what I've heard, DVB is much more likely to become the eventual standard... or, if not, then something other than DAB (FLO, TDtv, etc).
Is it just that they want to get to market first, screw the eventual problems?

I guess so. It also might have to do with the spectrum that's available or something else peculiar to the UK.
Samsung i320 vs. Motorola Q Plastics/Build Quality
I noticed that in the i320 article, it was mentioned that the Q felt hollow and cheap. Does it feel hollow in the way of cheap plastics (like the E815), or just simply becasue it is light? How much better are the plastics/build quality on the Samsung?
Thank you! As you can see, I am very concerned about exterior build quality in my handsets. Motorola historically hasn't delivered that, for me.

I think there's a big difference in favor of the Samsung.
But of course the Q will be EVDO for Verizon. The i320 will be GSM for Europe... so in real life most people won't be able to choose between the two. ☹️

We spent some hands-on time with the new Nokias announced this week. We'll have that report and photos posted soon.

8300? Helio?
am I the only person who sees the inherent contradiction of a CDMA handset and carrier showing off at a trade show called 3GSM? Who are they marketing to? All those europeans who gotta have Ev-DO while in the states???
Helio isn't showing it off. In fact, they're probably pretty pissed off that it's being shown here.
Pantech is exhibiting their global portfolio here, including their GSM lineup and best CDMA phones. The 8300 is part of that, and it just happens to...

Pantech Exterior Build Quality?
For those of you who have held the new Helios phone...How is the build quality? Is it up to the Samsung A800 for example?
It seems pretty good and solid to me.
It's not a small or light phone, so the A800 is probably a good comparison.

Nope. Just talked to them. Nothing new. They have some new content deal for soccer in Europe, but that's about it.
A new Sidekick 3 is definitely coming, but no official details yet, and the Danger folks wouldn't talk about it.

It's a tough job.......
but someone has to do it.
yeah, right. I bet you love what you do, Rich. Barcelona. Cannes. All because you can code internet languages and got into phones. Life is sweet, eh?
Good job with the updates. This is always the most interesting part of the site. I'm eager to see what else will come out of 3GSM, and I'm sure you have some good stuff in store.
