Nokia Mural (6750)?

[ckuczek]

I am considering purchasing a Nokia 6750 (Mural) and am wondering who likes it.  I also noticed that it is not offered for sale online at the moment on the AT&T site.  Are they that good of a product that they have sold out?

[hme83 ACE - Professor]

It sounds like they have been recalled for reflashing so they will work on at&t's 3G network.

I just saw them on my AT&T website......never seen them before.  They took the Eternity off and put that one on.....I

would like to know how everyone likes them too..... 

[pablocrego]

Just checked and the Nokia Mural is back on sale. Saw the pics and video and looks really nice.

[nana4ou]

I almost bought an Eternity a couple of days ago and some ATT stores said they weren't getting any more in.....that scared

me so maybe I'll just try the Mural too.....it's kind of nice and I'm using my RAZR now anyway 'cause i didn't like all the

touch screens on the Vu.  My granddaughter got that...ha.

I also took notice that the Mural is back. I'd like to hear from someone who has this phone as to how it is.

just got my mural....love it to death..everything is perfect..love the lights..transfered all my photos thru bluetooth from old phone. Got a clear case from daydeal.com  the phone is very shiney pewter color...can use it as a mirror...easy to navigate..a little heavy...but solid..got it for 49.99 ...came in 2 days

[lafl333]

phone is great...everything about ...love it the best i ever had its not a texting phone great looking solid

[nana4ou]

Thanks for the info.  I'm using a really old phone right now, just trying to decide what to buy.  This certainly makes me more

interested in the Mural.......

I like the phone it is easy to use, my biggest and only problem is the battery cover is not the best of quality and keeps falling off, so, if you get this phone you definitely need a cover for the phone to help hold on the back! I have not decided if I am keeping it and purchasing a cover or returning it for another phone, I really do like it. Nokias are my favorite.

[ljnett]

The phone has latch on the back that you slide to keep back on.

I wanted to get the Mural but my OKC stores didn't have it, so the lady talked me into a Samsung A777.  I do not like it at all! 

I checked at AT&T in Dallas last week-end and he couldn't even get the messages to ding loud enough to hear, so he told

me to take it back where I got it and see if they could get me a Mural.....his choice.  Problem is that now I will have a re-stocking

fee of $35 on top of the $18 for the up-grade.  When you add all this up, I could have gotten a Blackberry Bold......ha.  We'll have to 

see what they say at my AT&T.  I'm hopeful they will waive the $35 fee.  Coming home from Dallas, I could hear some of my

texts so don't know what the deal is.......I'll try....... 

[lafl333]

the back cover stays on with a little lever or push button..you have to hold it open then carefully put the cover on making sure its secure with the prongs..get yourself the clear covercase from daydeal.com...you'll be ok..love mine...love nokias...

Can anyone who has this phone confirm that it does (or doesn't) support the "CV" (Cellular Video) feature. And how you access it.

I just upgraded my phone to the Nokia Mural(6750) earlier this month.  My phone was free with a 2 yr. contract.  I searched long and hard before choosing a phone.  This one just came out in October.  As soon as I saw it I knew it was the one for me.  The graphics are great and the camera takes very clear pics.  I love the lights.  Not only can you change the colors, but they also flash like an alert when you have a txt message or a missed call.  The phone is stainless steel and looks really sharp.  Sound quality is good so far.  The only problem I have had so far is that technical support doesn't know much about the phone yet because it is so new.  I had a minor problem with the camera when I first got it.  I had a SD memory card put in at the ATT store.  I didn't realize the camera wasn't working until I tried to take a pic.  Tech support didn't know what to do.  I took the battery out and then the card and put both back in and turned phone back on and problem was solved.  I am sure it will become easier for them to diagnose problems once they have had some experience with the phone.  I love this phone!

You can check HERE about CV.

I was up-dating my phone and ended up with a Samsung A777.  HORRIBLE!  I could not hear it ring, much less hear a text

message when it came in.  One AT&T rep. told me he didn't know about the problem and made a note to let people know

that was an issue.  I gave it back, spent $35 for a re-stocking fee and got a Mural today.  I LOVE IT!!!!  It is the easiest phone 

I have ever tried to operate.......kind of a great up-date of the RAZR which was my most reliable phone.  I love the colors you

can change and set it up without even reading the quick start guide.  I'm 64, so no computer whiz, and it has a very loud

ring and have already put pictures and music on it.  You can't go wrong with the Mural!

My first GOOD phone was a Nokia 6126.  I still have it and I LOVE it.  I upgraded to the iPhone back in July, and returned it the following week.  I hated it.  Then I bought the Samsung Rugby because it is a simple but tough phone, and didn't see anything in the Nokia line that interested me at that time.  Also, it wasn't as bulky or expensive as the Motorola Tundra (which also caught my attention at that time).  But now I've seen the Mural, and I really like what I see.   I won't get rid of the Samsung.  It's not a BAD phone at all.  Solid and decent, but NOT a Nokia.  I'll just put it in the drawer as a spare with my old Nokia 6126 and pick up a Mural whenever they come back to the stores.  I've held a model of one, and LOVED the phone's look and feel and design.  It looks very much like the RAZR, but has the same features that I love about my Nokia 6126, plus many more.  I can't wait to get one!!!   I'm sure that Nokia won't disappoint me.

I don't think this Nokia will disappoint you at all.....i have yet to find something I DON'T like.  It's a great find and I'm

really happy with it.........

Think I just may have to check this one out when I have some time!! Thanks!!

[free914]

I did go to that deal web site and also purchased a clear cover to help with the back, I do like my phone just the button moves easly and back falls off, so clear cover was a good idea!

[nana4ou]

Someone else said their back cover fell off (read prior comments on page 1, but there is a snap to lock it into place.  I love the pewter

color, but got 3 cases.....red, neon green and bright pink, on Ebay for $18 bucks for all....also a couple of chargers for $6 bucks.

I am happier and happier with mine the more I put on it and work with it.......hope you can get that back to stay.....

I'm upgrading and looking for a phone like the 6750 to use the GPS feature. The BlackJack if have stalls more often than not. Anybody have issues with the GPS on the Mural? I'd like to purchase it online and take advange of the discount at AT&T.com. I'm leaning towards this phone since I like Nokia and I don't text a lot. Is there a 30 day warranty that allows you to change the phone to something else rather than a refurbished phone?

I've had my Mural since 11/13. I have not used the GPS feature. You DO have the 30 day buyer's remorse period but there is a $35 restocking fee, at least at the corp store, anyway.

Texting on this phone is fairly easy...just took me some getting used to since it's a little different than my old LG Shine.

All in all, it's a pretty sturdy phone. I have found a few things that I DON'T like about it but I'll probably end up keeping mine.

 My wife recently upgraded to the Mural.She loves the sound quality of the phone.Battery life is another story though,2 days tops with moderate talk.Seems as though turning off the outer display light effects and chosing wallpaper of the smallest size helps battery life a wee bit.Myself,I'm used to my motorola V365 battery life of a week and a half to 2 weeks,and I don't think that one will be rivaled.All in all she says she likes the Mural(not love)

[fredct]

The biggest difference between your V365 and the Mural is the Mural's 3G data. 3G data is still battery hungry, just a year or two ago Apple refused to release their original iPhone with 3G data because the battery performance would not have been acceptable. Obviously things have improved, but it's still not power-light by any means.

If your wife doesn't use data much (or at all), you can change a setting to make packet data be on 'only when needed'. The setting is under Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Packet data > Packet data conn . Change the setting from 'always online' to 'when needed'. Also, if she doesn't use Bluetooth, make sure that setting is turned off too.

I'd be curious to hear how much that helps.

All I've been hearing in this forum is that this phone is amazing. I think it is horrible. I have only had the phone for a month, and it is the most miserable piece of crap I have ever owned.

First of all, the camera doesn't work. If you don't use the camera constantly, it will bring up a "not allowed" error message every time you want to take a picture. You solve this by turning off the phone, taking out the battery, and restarting the phone. This gets really annoying.

It also records really horrible voice messages. The quality is bad.

Today, I was trying to text a friend and the screen suddenly went dark. The screen started flickering, and I can hardly see the screen anymore. I didn't drop my phone; I was just sending a text message. I tried restarting my phone. It didn't help any. I am left with a dark, flickering screen.

Also, you can barely customize the phone. I had my old phone set up so each of my friends had a different song play when they texted me. You can't personalize texting sounds. Just the ringtones.

Overall, I'm just really unhappy with this phone. I go to college for Information Technology, so I know what the best is and demand it from all my devices. This is not it.

[hme83 ACE - Professor]

With all the issues you are having with the phone, I'd file for a warranty exchange.  Unfortunately since you are beyond the initial 30 day return period, you won't be able to return it to the the point of purchase for another model. 

None of the Nokias have the personalized text tones - I agree, it is a nice feature.  Also, unless you are referring to the phone's voice recorder (?), voice mail is recorded/stored on a server at at&t - not on the phone; so it's not the phone's quality that is poor, although you may be experiencing a poor quality of voice service when you make the phone call to retrieve your voice mails.

Here is information re: requesting a warranty exchange from at&t:

The number for at&t's warranty department is 1-800-801-1101, or you can visit one of their "Device Support Centers" if there is one nearby.

I agree with hme83...return it or call warranty for an exchange. I've had my Mural since November and have had no problems like you are discribing. As for customizing this phone, it is more customizible than the LG Shine that I previously had. For it being a dumbphone, it has not disappointed me. I'd but another one in a minute if I had to. Sorry to hear that you are having so many issues with yours.

I have never had a phone that texts from friends were customizible..only ringtones.
