Nokia 6560 question

How is the up scroll button? Does it seem to stick or rub against the
faceplate? Mine does as do a few others on HowardForums.com. Please let me
know.

Thanks.

Mine seems fine. You might want them to send you another one if it is
bugging you.

Also, I notice that on the Nokia page the phone is now listed as
officially released, not "coming soon" anymore, however there is still
no link to download the PC Synch software for it.

I got one, so far no sticking..... Seems like a nice phone so far....
Good RF, good sound, good features. My only complaint is lack of
"Normal" ringers and on the message setting, "Beep once" is all but
impossible to hear.

NO, mine seems okay although it juggles alittle when I shake the phone.

I'd like to download a normal ringtone, any idea where I can get one?

Nokia's site says the 6560 doesn't have PC connectivity or infrared
transfer. Is the web site wrong?

I just got one last week, and yes, the "up" scroll button rubs against
the faceplate a little. It does not stick though. I will probably
get some fine-grade sandpaper and sand down the faceplate a little.

In general, the faceplates look & feel flimsy. I guess that's the
tradeoff for having "Xpress-on" faveplates...as if I'd need to change
my faceplate, in a flash, for that big date tonight.

Wow, you are right -- that is really interesting. The phone definitely
has infrared, but they are no longer advertising it. I am pretty sure it
was on the page when it was a "coming soon" phone. Note that the AT&T
page for the phone still shows it having infrared.

So maybe there is going to be a substantial delay for release of PC
Synch, and they don't want to be accused of selling it as an infrared
phone when the infrared can't be used?

This was Nokia's response when I emailed them two days ago asking about
PC Synch...

We understand the importance of being able to synchronize your Nokia
6560 phone with your computer; we are happy to provide the following
information.

Due the recent release of the Nokia 6560 phone the PC Suite software
is currently not available for purchase.

Please continue to monitor our web site www.nokiausa.com for the
availability of PC Suite software for your phone.

Pretty non-committal.

As far as the ring tone, it is pretty annoying that there are no rings
in the phone that sound like a phone ringing. I would assume there is
somewhere to download some, but without PC Synch would there be any way
to get it into the phone?

I am using "Do-mi-so" which is the only one that is just a sound, not a
cheesey song. I am actually starting to like it.

Also, I can't believe how stupid it was for them to not include the
volume control on the side of the phone. You have to switch to speaker
phone or put your conversation on hold in order to adjust the volume,
because you have to use the 4-way controller.
