happy birthday rudra!

If they are [planning to launch it this year, It will be released early next year at the earliest In india that would take another 4-5 months I guess that would be time to buy a new one!

Atul I am able to view the recorded clips. Are you able to play any other clip in the same format? I mean for example the DPS clip or something If yes then there might be a problem with the handset or handset software So try playing any other 3gp clip on your pc with multimedia playes/quicktime player

I am posting a few close Pics I found out from howardforums (courtsey wordie)

Go to call register in there is an option : last call duarion, total incoming, total outgoing ,life time duration.However for each and every call there is no such facility. I had used 3330 way back and it also had the same options, seems Nokia does not innovate much. Music files can not be used for individual callers, However you can use Music files and other ringtones from Open Gallery for Caller groups.

The phone has now moved to the new releases section: Check here: 6235 any one has ny idea about its launch? There are 2 morehandsets 2116 and 2118 as well in the new releases section: How many handsets is Nokia going to launch?

Look I havent uploaded FIFA If you cant ell me a place where i can get it in jar format, i might try and tell you. rest of the games work fine, the sound is good too, so is the refresh rate. Since the keys are big and soft it is easy Do you have a link to FIFA?

Yeah buddy downloaded and played the games The adventure island is the Jungle or Islander game we used to play in childhood days. Johny crash is good too. Spent quite sometime playing those. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Yeah I did go through most of them. Well a reasonable price is 12300-12600 but as the supply is short, they do overcharge. I think for a CDMA with all these features this is a good price. you have LG RD 6000 and Nokia 6225 priced at 10000. Compared to the two of them this phone is way ahead.

Mukul, So you got all your stuff from Gaffar isnt it? Any particular dealer there?

Thanks a lot for appreciating my effort. I hope by adding so many pictures I have not irritated the dial up users too mcuh.

Part3 Camera Well everyone here has talked o much about the camera oof this phone I don’t need to say much. Someone has also posted the Pics on another thread. For a .3 MP camera it is pretty good. But the only problem is why .3MP camera when we can have more. Well that is the way it is and u have to live with it. Color balance is good. I find 6130 has a little bias towards red. 7230 was good, and this one is better. There are various modes standard, portrait, movie and night mode. Standard mode takes 640x480 pix. Movie mode is good and the clips are recorded in 3gp format. You have the option of with or without audio. The maximum length on any card is 3 min. default is 15 seconds so you have to change it. I guess 3 min is enough for a phone. The flash is no good. I don’t see any point why it should have been put in the phone. The night mode is good but the exposure time increases so much that there is a high likelihood of getting a blurred pic. One thing I found strange was that there is a lag between the click and the shutter. I mean you press the capture button and after1-1.5 seconds the shutter opens, so if u are not aware u are likely to get a faulty pic. Images are in JPEG format and stored in the images folder of the gallery. You can move them to the memory card as and when required to free up space in the gallery. screenshot of camera options Gallery As already mentioned, the gallery has default folders for Imaged, video clips, music files, graphics, tones and recordings. Add to that the memory card where you can store your music, images and videos. The total memory for the gallery is 6 MB. So you can calculate how much of what you need to keep where. I prefer not to keep any music files in the gallery. You have various memory cards available. The default card provided is 32 MB. This is too less if you like to have a lot of music on the move. Nokia advises maximum of 64 MB but we have members here who have used upto 1GB cards. Gallery menu Media Media menu The media player has a provision of playing online media but reliance has robbed us of this fun, as no browser is available. So you can play media from the gallery, that you have stored. Music player is good. It can play MP3 and ACC format. I have played MP3. Loudspeaker is good, but the headset is amazing I mean it gives real good quality sound. You have to listen to believe. Same is the case with radio, reception is good, but you have to have a headset (pop or the other) inserted which acts as an antenna. Once tuned, you can switch to loudspeaker mode but you have to keep the headset plugged in. There is a media equalizer as well. It has 7 preset settings ranging from pop to rock to what not. Equalizer Settings and Organizer have nothing much new or exciting. The organizer has calendar, alarm, notes, stopwatch, countdown, calculator and to do list. Connectivity The phone uses Cable (DKU-2), Infrared and Bluetooth. I hvent tried the first two on this phone so can not comment much. I was new to Bluetooth, never having used a BT enabled handset before, so it took me a lot of time to figure out how to use it to connec the phone. The dongle that I am using isn’t the best in the market, so that did not help me either. But once I was able to connect, I transferred Pics, Music and tones very easily. Presently I am not using Pc suite as all the needs have been taken care of by other programs. Transferring files is very convenient and quick as well. Connecting to R connect via Bluetooth was problematic for many of us here. I followed the thread on DUN for 6255 and finally I was able to use r connect with blue tooth. I did not get 230 kbps speeds and it has been discussed on the DUN thread. I did not face much of a dormancy problem when using 115 kbps setting though when I changed it to 230, there was a snag. Otherwise Bluetooth works very well. I saved money for a DKU cable. I am told that we can not transfer files more than 6.5 MB using BT , so I guess when I go for a bigger card and have to transfer a lot of music, I will require the cable eventually. Games and Applications The phone comes with 5 games and 2 applications. You can upload more games to the phone using software other than PC suite. I have done it and I know that it works. As already mentioned this being a series 40 phone we can not upload any applications except for the very basic ones. Games That my friends was a review of the features of 6255, if you people want a review of the performance, I can write it as well, but will take some time. Anyways, thanks a lot for your patience. Hope this helps some of you! Any suggestions and corrections are most welcome. Looking forward to comments and replies! Tanveer

Part 2 Messaging The phone supports text, voice as well as multimedia messaging. Text message section has the usual Nokia features like write message, sent messages folder, archives, outbox, my templates and distribution list. Distribution list is a send to group like feature where you can make and save a distribution list and later use it to send messages to multiple recipients. Sending message has always been easy with nokia. It does not prompt you to save, does not ask for delivery report and each and every time(problem with 7230) so on, you can change these settings as and when you like! Like any other phone it supports the T9 input. On entering the text you are asked whether u want it to send to a number, email id or sms to many. Even this (sms to many was not present in some earlier phones eg7230) Another good thing is that in case you want to exit writing a message and continue later or you accidentally press the end call button the message is automatically saved and you can resume later. I used to hate this in other phones with end call key very close to 3(def) key and not having these features. MMS can be sent to other reliance phones and email ids but some one mentioned that this can be done only to those phones which can access MMS through R world (all except 6000 and 6130. MMS is click and send. You can send by MMS, IR or Bluetooth. Another thing I noticed was that the number of characters that can be sent alongwith MMS is 5000 in case of this phone. I believe it is 1000 in others or so it was at least with my 7230. Voice messages not tried so can not comment. Calling and Call Register Making calls is simple. Either dial a number or find a contact from the phonebook. Also there is the option of speed dial. When it comes to speed dialing nokia disappoints with only 8 speed dial numbers (2-9) My old phones had much more than this (upto300) Voice tags and voice dialing is also present Call register is more or less the same as for all Nokia phones with 30 each dialed, received and missed calls. One thing I loved about my 7230 was that it gave the duration of all the calls in the register whereas this phone gives only the last call duration, total incoming and total outgoing. Another added and new feature is data call register. This not only shows the duration of the last data call but also the amount of data (in kb) uploaded and downloaded. So people using the phone for r connect might be benefited. Contacts and Phone Book Not much new here. There is a caller group feature with 5 preset groups. The phone book has a memory for 500 entries with maximum of 5 numbers and a note for each entry. Picture and tones can be assigned to the contacts. Also tones and logos can be assigned to the groups. Saving a number is simple as usual. Also saving a number from sms and from the text in the message is present increasing the convenience in saving numbers. The number of contacts has no bearing on the memory of the gallery.

I connect using bluetooth only. I got a very cheap dongle that has a very short range (I cant even find a brand name on the pack). I did not install any drivers, using the microsoft drivers only. Also i removed PC suite because i see no use for keeping it on my system, also someone in the DUN thread pointed that it interferes with R connect connection

well u can not download games unless you can access the games and applications are of the phone. that unfortunately is not possible with nokia pc suite those who are uploading games( including me) are using mobimedia I dont know if any other such software is available But yes I have removed the nokia pc suite from My system as i dont require it!

I dont know the technicalities but after I managed to connect via blutooth I explored the setttings and changed it to 230 kbps I didnt know it would make a difference Visibly it was faster almost to the extent of going haywire, also i the problem of dormancy during this setting I checked the speed and took another screen shot and am pasting here! well it is superfluous because of a single faulty reading but I dont know what to make out of it as for me, yes there was a difference in browsing speed definitely with 230 any more suggestions

did u call *333 or *355 or *377 and ask them about this I mean are u sure it is from reliance? I mean it is not advertised anywhere , nothing! so ................

Thanks a lot I too tried the above and could connect! And i too got 115 kbps here is a screenshot! Didnt try for long to see the dormancy problem! and i did try with setting at dial up aswell same result! how to get 230 kbps?

Yup uploaded a game successfully! Now there is no lilmit! Thanks a ton Mukul Bhai and Vishal for your help! Mukul what all applications can be run on this phone? And can we have a separate thread where we can upload/provide links for some really neat nokia games?

Yeah I guessed that much, I tried copying the games to other folders but they could not be opened there The Pc suite does not give access to the games and application folder, You can access the application folder with the free version but you can not copy the games. So will have to buy/find crack How much is the cost for which you bought it?

Yes I think that games can be added using Mobimedia but i havent been able to do so as the free version does not support it. Is that true Mukul and u1s2a3? You are not able to access the applications and games folder using PC suite, you can do that using mobimedia but it does not allow games transfer inn the free version. Guess i ll have to find a crack or something! Correct me if I am wrong Mukul adn usa(why do u have such a difficult userid?) and yes i have a GIf as my wallpaper on both main and mini display and I am using MP3 ringtones!

People with this phone can log into MMS portal and recieve and send pics and files like 6130 and 6000

that s the point you will never get a complete phone. Once again Compare this with other reliance phones. just imagine they are seling LG 6000 and nokia 6225 for 10000 and this one with 12500 or so is a better phone anyday. I am still going through the phone and i must say that I am impressed and there is no doubt that it is the best handset from reliacne so far and yes if you want to wait, there is 6155 but then it does not have bluetooth and other things another one 6235 again is not flip open and does not have blue tooth and other such features So buddy buy the best one you can have today and whenever you find a better one at a good price go get it thats technology for you!

There are two things I have surely not liked about this phone so far, the rest is wonderful! 1. The weight is distributed more towards the screen side so that if you place it flat, it tilts towards the screen side and is stopped by only the antenna! This is uncomfortable at times 2. The middle button of the 5 way navigation key is way to hard to push. The rest of they keys are feather touch so this will sure make your thumbb sore if you want to fiddle with it for long. Can write a detailed review (with photographs) if you people want and if our revered mods and admins allow!

hey TCp/IP is it a P2P or a torrent client?
