Nokia Phones
After a LONG debate about the phone issue, I have but one question. Is the Nokia 6310i the latest and greatest phone that can be fully integrated with our cars? When I say fully integrated, I mean just as good or better than the MBENZ Motorolla phone.
I am wondering what we will all do (those that have or will have the 6310i) when the 6310i gets too old? It sounds like we may be calling Steve to install the UHI when and if it is available. Any thougts?

Maybe at one time it was the greatest phone? So many devices are made for it. But it seems like a decent phone without all the gadgets of many newer one. Whenever the UHI is available, it would be nice to able to choose what phone you want to use.

Too true. I kills me to think I will have to change cell phone carriers as well as numbers when the potential of the UHI is seemingly around the corner. As there does not seem to be a concensus as to when it may be available and for that matter, retro fitted, it seems like the Nokia is the only option ( with full integration anyhow).

I was going to have Steve to change the phone for me. But it didn't work out. However, it wouldn't work out anyway, because the headunit I got was too big for my car. So, I am going with plan B, which is change the headunit to an Alpine IVA D900 and a DVD navigation system and hook up a Alpine Mobilehub for Nokia, you got it, 6310i intergrated with the system. Would work like the Command, when there is incoming or outgoing calls, it would mute the music and change into phone mode with the speakers from the car.

But anyhow, why do you need to keep upgrading phones? If you're into fashion, then you have a problem. If you need a solid, reliable phone that is a good performer and has nearly all the features a business user could want, then the 6310i works well.
And what happens when it gets too old? Nothing. It's not like GSM 900/1800/1900 is going to be phased out anytime soon. So what do you mean by too old? You mean carriers won't activate it like my 4 year old Mecedes Motorola phone? In 5 years, the 6310i will still work and be saleable.

Nokia tends to manufacture new phones that are compateable with their old-skool carkits...I installed a carkit years ago for my Nokia 5110...swapped the 5110 for a 6210 and the 6210 for a 6310i...all without changing anything to my carkit.

Scorchi, What I mean by old is, in my experience, my phones seem to go south after about 2 years or so. I travel quite a bit and the phone gets alot of use. Usually I use about a 1000 min. a month and can travel up to 100k miles a year on a plane. Granted I have never had a Nokia, but I posed the question in order to see how others have, or will deal with this issue.
Steve, I get the impression from various posts here that the 6310i will be the last phone to work with the Comand. Could be just a rumor, but the premise was that there is a pending debut of the comand II and until then, nokia is not spending money to create new phones for less than new comand units.

Steve's phone kit is for the Nokia 6210. Anyone knows if the 6310i or 6360 (both ATT) will work with the same kit. Nokia claims that the 6210 and the 6310i both use the same car kit.

My view is that with the advance in technology in mobile phones, if you wait until the next model is released, you'll be using a land-line forever. GSM, TDMA, and CDMA technologies will be the standards for a long while. Functionality will undoubtedly be added, but why wait?
