PattayaDavid Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm looking at purchasing the new Nokia 6600 folding mobile phone. It is a new model and I've read varying reports as to whether it is yet available in Thailand. Has anyone seen this model in and around Pattaya? I only found one link in Thailand that displays this model in it's catalog. http://www.siamphone.com/catalog/nokia/6600_fold.htm Thanks, Pattayadavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo9 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Looks nice, but I never seen it at Tukcom. Guess you have to wait a few weeks. Do you have any price indication (my better half needs a new one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaDavid Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 The Siamphone link indicated a price of 13,500 baht (275 Euros), but it could be more once all of the taxes and such are added. I guess I may have to go with a different model. I was planning to buy it for the misses birthday which is only a couple of days from now. I was also considering the Nokia N76, but I've read many reviews of people complaining that the chrome paint peels off rather rapidly. I think I will go down to TUKCOM and maybe the Big C Festival shopping center tomorrow and inquire as to it's availability date.

moo9 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 and every time its going better and better phone.i have only 1.3 Megapix camera in my 2-years-old Nokia 8800. How many pix camera in 6600? Maybe 3,4 or even 5?? Well the pixels are not everything. If you want a decent cam with 5 MP and a real Xenon Flash, you have to have the N82. That one comes rather close to a conventional digital cam (plus GPS and Image Tagging, which is a nice feature). However: 18,000 - 20,000 Bht !

Meg_2003 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ive just bought a new Nokia N81 - lovely phone but I would have preferred an N96 .. Anyone know when they are coming out in Thailand? Also, the camera on the N81 is not very good at all in low light - Anyone else with an N81 notice this? I expected it to be better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaDavid Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 The Nokia 6600 Folding is not yet available in Thailand; I was told maybe 2 or 3 months. I ended up buying the Motorola RAZR 2 V9, a very slim and well built phone; the wife loves it. Thanks for everybody's help. Pattayadavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for everybody's help.Pattayadavid Try China-mobile-phone.com for good spec mobiles at very cheap prices. I have a old Nokia N72 which I use for access to the internet - never had a problem with the phone or internet access with it. Anyway, my friend bought a mobile from the above site about 6 weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and is perfectly happy with his purchase.

The Motorola you bought has a better rating than the Nokia. How much did you pay for the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Motorola you bought has a better rating than the Nokia. How much did you pay for the phone? I shopped at both the Festival Big C shopping center on 2nd road and at Tukcom and found prices ranging from 13,900 to 15,900. Most of the models are clad in black. My wife liked the reddish color that is depicted on most websites. When I asked about this color, most vendors told me that it wasn't available in Thailand, only the black. At the shops in Festival Big C shopping center, they only had the black color available and the best price I received was 13,900 with no extras; it comes standard with a 512MB MicroSD card. Initially, the prices quoted to me at Tukcom were even higher, however after really searching around, I found the red colored model for sale. The shop initially were asking for 14,500, but I was able to get the phone for 14,000 with them throwing in a 2GB MicroSD card in addition to the 512MB that came standard with the phone. Most of the shops will offer to substitute the 512MB for a 2GB card for a little more money. You can get the RAZR2 V8 model in both black and in a really dark midnight blue (blue-black) color. the main differences between the V8 and the V9 is the lack of 3G and no removable memory card. The V8 can be purchased in the 512MB or 2GB versions of fixed internal memory. The V8 was selling for 9,900 baht with little to no negotiation depending on what shop I visited. I hope that this helps. Pattayadavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is similar to the N96, however some of the features offered are not so much better, but different. It just depends on what you like in a phone. I'm looking for a 3G along with Wi-Fi phone with a large screen for internet surfing. I'm waiting to see what the new Apple iPhone 3G model offers before I make a new purchase.
