Nokia 6620

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi Isaac, well now, you'll get a variety of opinions on that question. My
opinion is worth what you paid for it, but here you go.

I really like my Windows Mobile-based PAC Mate for writing documents and
running a whole bunch of cool programmes, but I have never particularly
liked Windows Mobile-based phones. It would take a lot to convince me ever
to buy one again. They don't sound as good to me, and they lock up too much.
Others will have a different view. It's just another operating system debate
and you'll have proponents of either. I will say though that the main reason
why I got rid of my last Windows Mobile phone was that I couldn't get speech
to go through my Phonak Smartlink, which is Bluetooth capable. That, and the
lock ups and the absolutely abysmal battery life.

For me, you can't go past Symbian on phones for stability, sound quality,
and awesome hardware.

Jonathan

Jonathan,
Excellent points. Not only do I hear the music when the phone boots p, but I
can feel it as well. It's just that this is my first real experience with a
phone. I've seen them, touched them, but not really done anything with them.

I wish it would pla some music when shutting down as well. More than a one
second jingle. But the loop setting is a great idea. I never thought of
that. that setting sometimes let me know people have left the monitor on on
the computer. Do you think I might do better with the I-Mate sp5m phone? 
thanks.
Isaac
