Hey All,

Does anyone know when the Quickfire will be released?

Thanks

this is a great device to get US dumbphone users to switch to S60.
once they get hooked and see the potential of S60 they will more than likely upgrade to a higher end Nokia S60 device.
Now, they Q is should i get it?

WHY did they have to cut out the date for the quickfire? I am getting so tired of waiting for it that I am thinking abut getting the cheaper Samsung Propel!

It actually has 850/1900 mhz 3G… the UK version had the 2100… I’m totally getting this phone… I don’t care if anyone else buys it… more for me! (Although I only need one… or maybe two)

@Armo

Based on FCC Friday last week as posted on Engadget, it looks like the i627 is coming and would be a BJ3.

The Epix appears to be some sort of compromise of the BJ3 with a touchscreen ala i780.

Holy! 1500mAh battery is huuge. It lasts for days on my E71. Looks like a winner for this holiday season.

@bobbie – I think it’s rather interesting that you say that the RAZR crowd won’t go for a phone with clunky UI.

Personally, I highly doubt that most U.S. consumers will know – or care – that the phone uses S60. They’ll see a $70 phone with a real internet browser, built-in GPS, 2MP cam with flash, and MASSIVE battery, and be all over it like stains on a mattress.

S60 is the hidden bonus.

@ mikeisgood

the blackjack 3 actually turned out to be the samsung epix.

im starting to think that launching so many messaging phones at the same time is going to backfire when it comes to sales.

oh and why does it say the eternity is a slider? i hope it is cuz then T-Mobile willl be the only one with an all touch samsung touchscreen that uses the proprietary UI.

Hopefully AT&T does not cripple this phone as it did with the N75.

HSDPA 2100? Is that a typo or does it mean ATT is rolling out 3G in 2100 band, so we might someday have the ability to use European phones?

not that many people will buy the 6650. Mainstream American consumers do not want s60 phones. Too clunky to use – the UIs are designed for fiddling with, not for super easy usage. Not disssing s60, just saying it won’t catch on with your average RAZR buyer.

not enough ram. Better off with the 230$ unlocked e51 (added by Mobile using Mippin)

Wow–6650 at $70! That’s pretty awesome! It really is what the N75 should have been, although ironically this isn’t an Nseries device.

@mas
Are you sure you don’t mean the the touchscreen phone from LG that was meant to look like the Samsung Omnia? If so, that would be the Incite.

And here is a link for the LG Invision (w/pictures and specs)…

Once again the LG Xenon is absent on a list of expected phones!!! I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of this phone but still no sign that it’s coming, especially not “before Christmas”!!!
Does anyone have any news on this device?!
THANKS

what happened about the touchscreen phone from samsung which was a look alike of the omnia? any new on it?

Hmmm.. I dunno. This document still seems a little shakey to me.

“LG INCITE:3g phone – I do not have details on features or pricing yet”

Maybe the genius writer should have checked out the internet first..

…and so on.

Hey, notice the Samsung Eternity is listed as a 3G SLIDER. All reports/photos form the tech blogs show it as a canybar like the instinct/omnia. So which is it?

By: bopper

bopper — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 15:22:27 +0000

I thought the Eternity was the non smart phone version of the Omnia. Why does it say Slider Phone with Mobile TV? That is not the same phone as the pure touch screen seen here and on Engadget.
