6600

[finty]

I just got a 6600 Nokia, but it is locked to Orange, I tried the various Unlock calculators but it keeps giving me a code error. I am on my last go, should I fork out £20 and get it flashed or is there a better way?

Also, anyone any suggestions on what I should check out for this phone (Software, games etc.)?

I got an unlock code (or 14) and it worked, the handset said so its self, but it is still rejecting o2 sim cards. Anyone know why this would happen? Could it be software that orange have installed on the mobile?

EDIT: I am so glad I got a 6600 instead of the N-gage. Its unlocked now BTW.

Glad you managed to get it unlocked mate. I like the series 60 phones. I got my N-Gage for next to nothing a while back. I recently got a cheap 512Mb MMC card off ebay and have loads of games and mp3's to keep me entertained.

I like the way I can play some Ngage games on my 6600. Stupid stupid Nokia...

Hmmm - well, you have it unlocked now, but I know that some Nokia phones basically need a reflash if you enter the wrong code more than about five times.....

Orange put 2 codes on the phone, good job! Idiots...

Can you play super monkey ball on a 6600?

Checking compatibility list...

Yes! Works perfect!

I can't wait for my MMC card reader to arrive, mmmm, all those lovely games!

You can play super monkey ball?!? I may invest....

And now with Bluetooth on GP32 it opens up more possibilities...
