SE T610 and Bluetooth

im glade the networks here dont force you to use there phones! I hate that idea! it's stupid! what if i want a phone they dont offer? they least they could do is ask me a what phone i want... then they get it for if they dont have it and lock to them! i dont care as long as I have the phone I want! but I'm glade they dont do that here!

oh and iJon, dont get the T68i, I had that phone when it first came out, but now I wouldn't have it, I got the nokia after it but it was horrible compared to the T68i, I hate nokia soooo much then I got back to the T68i I had them update the software for me, then they did something wrong and it started acting weird, they couldn't fix it... then they gave a supposedly 'better' nokia, which had no bluetooth no GPRS no nothing! i hated the it was soo stupid! I hated it using the UI sucks! I HATED IT! when I got the T610... I was like soooo happy! I my mood changed! i dont get mad and angry when I use my phone! using the nokia was like using windows!!!!!!!!!!! I SWEAR! it was that bad!!

thank you

can you tell me why you hated each phone, that will help my decision more.

iJon
 
why?

well... I have always had bad experience with nokia phones, I hated them a lot, they nokia produces 5 or more different phones that are basically the same phone! then they go and change the cover and the look and call it a new phone! they are always late on technology! and they are turning the phone into a game machine?! I dont like that they should work on improving battery life not shorting it!
the UI in nokia phones is really stupid! for me I had a problem when trying to send txt in my native tongue you had to change the WHOLE PHONE'S LANGUAGE! that's like going to system pref and changing the language from english to say chines then logging off and log back in to type an email then returning it to english again! that was stupid and that got on my nerves! OH SE phones have a nice little feature that will send to more than one phone number like an email, but nokia you will have to wait for the message to be send then resend it again! which is stupid! and SE has something called unsaved numbers where you can send a message to someone you called or someone who called that isn't in your phone book a really cool feature!

and I like the way SE puts the calls they have a little arrows that symbolise missed, received and outgoing calls all in one easy to reach place! if you want to see them sorted you go to the calls menu under the main menu!

for me it's like using windblows and macintosh!

if you have any other Qs just ask! if I confused you then i'm sorry..

THANK YOU

I checked on website of T-Mobile Netherlands. With a 1 year subscription you can get it for free!. You have to pay 30 euro for 5 hours or something. I already have a Nokia 7650 so it is no option for me but I'm sure this will be the same for the rest of the countries T-Mobile is available
 
downloading to t610-easy. Other way around?

just bought the t610, and the usb asante bluetooth thingy. I'm downloading ring tones, wallpapers, etc, no probs. Also using the Romeo freeware clicker. The miracles of Bluetooth! But:
After snapping pics, how do I send them to my ibook? Do I have to do something complicated with WAP, or GPRS, or what??? I'll have to go to Tmobile and see how many smackers they're going to charge me for that!
Any ideas?

1) go to "My Pictures"
2) choose the picture you want to send
3) select "More" (right softkey)
4) select "Send"
5) select "Via Bluetooth"*
6) select "<insert your macs name here>"
7) on your mac, accept the incoming file

all of these instructions assume that your mac and phone are already paired. good luck!

*before this you must make sure that your mac has BT discoverable set.
 
T68i

IJon,
I have had the T68i for now almost 2 years and have been pretty happy with it. All the sync ops work well (even though sometimes it makes you think they did not - for instance when I dial from my Mac via BT using adrs book the phone will show an error message at first but in fact will work perfectly fine). I really have enjoyed the flawless connectivity with the Mac and the syncing of stuff. For a first product in its kind (at least for sure wrt to Macs and BT) I thought it was a miracle.

For sure it has weaknesses - pretty f****g slow when you surf around their menus adn some say that its reception stinks. Yes sometimes I have to dial a number 5 times before getting a connection but I believe it is my provider's fault rather than the phone. Just make sure your provider has proven good coverage in your area(s).

Certainly the T610 is better but I would never spend that kind of money for it !

just my 2 cents

I got my T610 today, upgraded an old Nokia for it, they charged me £29.95 for the phone and gave me £30 back on the old phone:D

Good old Orange:p

It took me 30 seconds to get the Bluetooth running on my 17 PB, and iSync simply did its job fine.

You can also upload photos over BT, if you select Browse Device from the menu bar menu, then select the phone from the list, and you get to look throught the pictures folder, then using the "put" button you can send pics to the phone, better make sure they're small though:D

This is an excellent phone, especially for free, even if all-day events don't show up in the calendar...;)
 
the now way too old problem: the US is decades behind Europe when it comes to cell phones techonology, availabitlity, pricing and everything ....

Damned, this is the country that is on top of the world, are we losing the hedge to "old Europe" ?

I doubt it myself but hey take Boeing , they just lost to SUPERSUBSIDIZED Airbus in terms of airplanes supplied !

Doing that for more than one file is a complete waste of time. I can't remember exactly how (not at my computer now)- but I can browse my phone (T610), and choose the directories (My Pictures, My sounds, etc.) and then get a list of files and you just click 'get'- no comformation to check on the phone or computer, it just comes accross. Only bad thing is you can't do more than one file at a time.

Using the phone to control my Mac is very cool-especially iTunes- it shows how long the track has been playing on the phone's screen.

I got my T610 free, on a O2 contract for a year, 15GBP per month, 500 free minutes offpeak.

What you do is you click on the Bluetooth icon in your Apple menu. Then you select "Browse Device" from that menu. This will bring up a list of all the paired Bluetooth devices in range. In my case, that brings up a list containing the T610. I select that and it lets me browse the folders, which for now are just Pictures, Sounds, and Themes. Not only is this a great way to get pictures from the T610, it's also a great way to put pictures there.

I haven't tried it, but there's nifty third party software called PhoneAgent that lets you put games, or files of any kind on your T610:

come on now....of course it is an exaggeration, but look at it as an expression, flexible interpretation, the substance is what matters, no ?
 
Here are some of the wallpapers I've made or manipulated in Photoshop, saved for the web, Then uploaded though bluetooth. I just have so much fun with the T610!!
