Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / April 2004Compatible Nokia CDMA/GSM Phones
Reading here about some of the new Nokia models that are being released has prompted me to ask. I have a Nokia CDMA 6385. The missus has a Nokia 6310i. Both can use the same car kits (CARK91) which are fitted to our vehicles. Both have IR and can connect to the PCs at home for backups, data exchange, etc. A handy duo, if I do say so, myself. I'm wondering, then, down the track when they start playing up, is there anything new on the market in GSM and CDMA that will share accessories like car and data kits? I think a Nokia 6220 (GSM, available now) and 6225 (CDMA, still to be released here) would suit what you're after. Similar features to the 6310i/6385, plus MMS capability, colour imaging, Java applications and built-in camera. You could substitute the 6220 with earlier, also compatible GSM models, but with slightly different features - 7210, 6610, 6100, 7250/7250i. Note that the new 6230 (GSM) has a bunch of extra features, but uses a DKU-2 cable, while (I believe all of) the others mentioned use the DKU-5. No idea what the difference is, or whether they're compatible.

I don't see why not, seeing as 3 have released the Nokia 7600, which is GSM... Confirmation if you ever needed it. -mark > > Can they work with 3 SIMs ? > > I don't see why not, seeing as 3 have released the Nokia 7600, which is > GSM... Confirmation if you ever needed it. No, the Nokia 7600 is dual-mode - WCDMA (an implementation of 3G) plus GSM 900/1800, whereas the 6220 etc are GSM only. Hutchison's 3 sells the 7600 because it's made to accept 3G SIMs. Most anecdotal evidence points to (most) 2.xG handsets not working with 3's USIMs. There's reams of user experiences on forums around the traps on what handsets do/don't, but the reports are pretty inconsistent. > > > Can they work with 3 SIMs ? > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > USIMs. There's reams of user experiences on forums around the traps on what > handsets do/don't, but the reports are pretty inconsistent. Its hit and miss |
