(keitai-l) Re: Is N-Gage finally a flop? And the 7600 e 770 0?

I agree entirely. Apart from the fact that the only 3G network, '3', isn't
supporting the 7600 (so you can't get access to their premium services), it
uses series 40, not series 60. Essentially, the GUI and feature set are a
colourised version of what Nokia were doing in the last century, with a
terrible low-res screen. 

That said, the 7600 is 'cute' (at least until you turn it on). But it's hard
to text-message on it because of the key layout, and early adopters will
stay away, so it's hard to see the market.

It's hardly a good comparison; the SO505i is by far the largest and heaviest
of the 505i series. Even so, at 145g and 105 x 50 x 33 mm, it's 173250 mm3,
making the 7600 (123g, 87 x 78 x 18.6) 73% of the volume of the SO505i.

But compare it with the smallest and lightest phone in the 505i lineup, the
F505i. At 105 g it's 15% lighter, and at 98 x 48 x 21 it's more than 20%
smaller. And this is still quite a bit larger than the "stick"
phones of the old days.
