A german news magazine stated that the Nokia 6600 will support WLAN. Do you have any information about it ?

There is no mention of this on Nokia's site -- and, it would be silly to do it....

I have read many articles regarding this phone, but none mention whether the polyphonic tones are still 4 chord in true Nokia format or they have managed to upgrade to 16 chord like other manufacturers?

I don't think it has a melody chip like Nokia-OS based phone probably have. So it is not bound to a specific format but it is able to play full SP-Midi, Beatnick audio, WAV,... melodies

The nokia site says this phone supports true tones instead of polyphonic tones, whatever that means.

This is a new melody format that will be supported by 3300 and 6600 based on Wide-Band AMR codec (i.e. sampled music - up to 24kbps, sampling rate of 16Khz and 16 bit samples).

How much do you think it would cost in dollars??

Does anyone know if Nokia N-Gage games can be played in the MMC slot of the 6600 ? I have been doubting it for a while, and it would be a very expensive experiment for me to buy a £380 phone and a £35 game to find out they aren't compatible.

Anyone know for certain? Any answers would be great!

Thanks, Gabe
