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?

> Nokia 6600: A new Series 60 device by Nokia

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

Is UK release date still October? Do we know an exact date yet?

> Nokia 6600: A new Series 60 device by Nokia

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

> Nokia 6600: A new Series 60 device by Nokia

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??

It'll cost around ~$US450!

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
