Real Nokia n95 8g.

Please let me know if the real nokia n95 have 8g build in or have memory card. please help me.
thanks

The real black N95 8GB has 8GB of internal memory and no memory card slot. The older silver N95 just has a memory card slot that can accept 8GB+ memory cards.
There are a lot of fakes out there so be careful. It helps to study the images and specifications on the nokia website if you are unsure.

How Do I Contact the REAL Nokia Company ..

Please help, someone .. anyone !! I cannot get any help from Nokia USA because ... well, here is my story, and I am sorry if I chose the wrong forum. I am not quite sure where to post this.
I will try to make this VERY LONG story, as short as possible.
I sent my phone to Nokia [USA] for a repair on 1/5/2007 [just a few days after receiving it.] I couldn't find a reason why the phone was locking up and I couldn't find a solution to repair it .. Apparently I am not the only one that couldn't figure it out .. The repair center I sent the phone to couldn't either.
On 2/2/2007, after dozens and dozens of repair status inquiries, many hours on the phone with Nokia USA, the EXECUTIVE SOLUTIONS DEPARTMENT tells me that Nokia Repair could NOT fix my phone. It is a hardware issue and repair has NO PARTS and NO REPLACEMENT phones ... WHAT ???
The N93 is for sale on the Nokia USA website. Every once in a while the website reports it out of stock, but as of Friday when I get the news that there are no parts and no phones to fix or replace mine, I check the site and see they ARE IN STOCK - AND TAKING ORDERS FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPPING ...
I ask that the EXECUTIVE SOLUTIONS TEAM get me one of those phones. NO CAN DO ... they say. AND, Nokia repair can not have the sales department's phones either. Why is this ???
So today I did some investigating. Nokia Repair USA is NOT REALLY NOKIA REPAIR, it is some company called Palco. They are in Alabama and they cannot repair my phone because they have no parts and they cannot replace my phone [as stated in my warranty] because they have no phones. I talked to Palco today and the woman tells me that parts and phones have been on order for months and I guess since Palco does MUCH MORE than just repair phones for Nokia - the phones they receive from Nokia customers that they cannot fix for one reason or another are just tossed in a pile and forgotten. I guess it is not a big concern of theirs .. They just email Nokia USA and tell them - Sorry, we can't fix this phone. END OF STORY.
Nokia Executive Solutions Department says - We will have to mail you a refund because we have NO WAY of replacing your phone. END OF STORY.
Which leads me to believe, like I have for weeks now, that Nokia USA support, Nokia USA customer service and Nokia EXECUTIVE Solutions USA, are different companies contracted by Nokia to SHUT THE CUSTOMER UP. Apparently they aren't the ones who do the actual refund. I don't know where the refunds come from, but I was PROMISED, I will get a refund.
I WANT MY PHONE!
So ... this is why I want to get in touch with the REAL Nokia company. I want a N93 and I want to get it from Finland or wherever the REAL company is.
One of the reps at Nokia USA Executive solutions USA said the name, Palco when we were talking about the repair so when I got off the phone with him, I looked up Palco on the internet and sure enough, the address I sent my phone to, is the same address as Palco. So I called them.
There was NOTHING on Palco's recorded message that even mentioned cellphone repair. It talked IT Sales and service and a whole lot more, but NOTHING NOKIA and NOTHING CELLPHONE .. I pushed O for an operator and she connected me to - the person who handles Nokia phone repairs.
Before I send Nokia USA anything to get my refund under way, I want to try and reach the REAL nokia in Finland or wherever they are and see if I can get a replacement phone! I almost forgot to mention. If I go the route, it will take SIX WEEKS to process. Can someone please give me some advise?
Sorry for rambling. Hope you can follow me .. I know I jump around a lot. I am just so frustrated.
Diane

One word of advice - Nokia is HUGE - give them a call first and get the name of someone or at least a department that you can address your letter to or it will get lost in the myriad of letters that Nokia get everyday.
NSCs (Nokia Service Centres) in the UK are also run by 3rd party companies, as I suspect most of them round the world are. For want of a better expression Nokia outsource this facility to 3rd party companies and then get the blame when it all goes wrong (!).
In the UK we have a facility called Club Nokia where can we can report issues directly to Nokia relating to this as well as carry out tasks like product registration however I've just had a look on the US website and there doesn't appear to be this facility for the US - each task has it's own webpage.
As to these forums, please remember that although you will see various Nokia administrators etc. they are simply here to ensure everyone plays nice rather than offering any form of official help or support, and that these forums are a user to user help forum - i.e. I'm a direct end user of Nokia products exactly as you are !
Anyway, good luck - let me know if you need any further help.

Edward

Nokia 220 (Nokia OS)

Hi guys ,
I finally got my hands on a Nokia 220 (which makes a good add-on to the rest of my Nokia collection). Although I do like the phone, I came accross some strange features, first of all, I noticed that I can add more then just one phonenumber to a contact stored in the phones main memory (I mean, my old Nokia 1280 can handle even more then that), secondly, what is up with this Y! Messenger (no offence to those who use it), I though Nokia is now from Microsoft, how come this Y! Messenger is installed on to it, why not, Facebook Chat, Line or Whatsapp and speaking of the last, there is also no Store app on the phone. OK, it is a cheap feature phone, I get that, but even downloading anything for it is impossible. Please Nokia team, explain this to me? Why come with a phone on the market which is awesome like any Nokia has been (hardware wise) but has nothing to offer, software wise? The "old" Nokia Asha 206 is equal, yet has more to offer. One more thing, I manage to finally get my hands on a Nokia X, now.. I have some Lumias and all, but the Nokia X is awesome, it's so darn fast and the battery really is awesome. Now, that is what i call a real Nokia (and yes, more then enough apps for the X). But please. I moved from The Netherlands to Singapore, OMG, what a mess is it here with mobile phones, iPhone and Smasung Galaxy's rule the nation. Nokia, if you want to make some more ground here, come out with the phones SOONNNEEERRRRR, the better :-D
With warm regards,

The Nokia 220 runs on Nokia OS (Series 30) which is obviously designated to be part of the "next-billion" project. This is a feature phone that is packed with functions enough for those who are having their first internet capable phone. For those who already own a high-end smartphone, this can serve as their secondary phone. Nothing fancy, but still functional.
If you want more of apps, Nokia made the X's and Lumia's for that.

Latest Nokia Messaging (Nokia Email) can't silence...

This latest Nokia Messaging (Nokia Email) push email client has broken something that worked in last release. I don't know if other people are getting the same issue. But I am unable to silence the notifications alerts for new emails. Whether my phone is already locked or not or forced lock or unlock at the time, touching the homscreen doesn't disarm the mp3 which carrys on playing for 3.XX mins etc... even if I open email from the homescreen widget to run the program.
Computers must be male. As soon as you commit to one you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the day.

Same here using a 5800.
Logged into the Email website and my trial has expired. I contacted my operator (Orange UK) and they offer a push email service for £5 a month but all it does is send you an MMS with your email (doesn't even support HTML) which is rubbish. I was expecting it to use the Nokia Messaging app.
I'm getting so frustrated with Nokia lately. While people are kicking and screaming on the forums asking for help, they're handing out silly balloons in London to annoy HTC.

Nokia 6300,Nokia 6234 & Nokia 6233.

Haiy guyz my name is Muhammad plz.. help me can any i who tell me that is Nokia 6300 suppourts 3GP Videos & 1 more hng my friendz told me tha tNokia 6300 is not gud regarding battery during talk contineoulsy getting hot & also due to its stainless steel so tell me wht shoul I do &also tell me wht is the difference between Nokia 6233 & Nokia 6234.Tell me also which Nokia is best Nokia 6233,Nokia 6234 or Nokia 6300.
I m waiting 4 ur reply plz.. help me.
Thanks & Regards.
Muhammad

The 6233 & 6234 have the following advantages over the 6300
*Stereo speakers
*3G Support
*VGA Video recording
So they are the preffered device to use. If possible get a 6233 as the 6234 is a Vodafone branded 6233 and they tend to stuff up phones when they clog it up with their firmware.
So your answer is 6233

How to tell the difference from a real Nokia N8 an...

I was looking on this site and a few people are selling them for $150 US and some of the ones I have seen you can tell right away because of the specs are different specially the camera, they arn't 12mp, but this one is.
So please give me some advice on how you can tell the differences as for this price it's really hard to turn down, but on the otherhand I don't want to be sold a fake, thanks.

These are some of the General Guidelines..

Real Nokia 5610 doesn't play Video in QVGA at 30fp...

Hi all, I really disappoint that my Nokia 5610 doesn't play any resolution of video at 30fps, even i've tried whatever bitrate, whatever resolution (QVGA, QCIF, ...), whatever audio bitrate, it still can't play back smoothly with 30fps, onlt 15fps it supports. So why Nokia provide such imperfect information to us. My friend 5610 also can't playback 30fps, QVGA.

Umm, this is interesting...

Please, REAL Nokia Head Office open you eyes with...

SAWASDEE (hello) , from Bkk, Thailand
This is my experience from Nokia X3-02 and after that from their service ....
For Nokia X3-02 in bkk, thailand is around 195 us$.
This is some inconvenience I found at the first time till NOW .....
Just after I bought X3-02 on 15th February......
I just picked 2 calls for 30mins each, and on facebook just for a few times during work in evening then battery is empty and again on next day even it was charged 6-8hrs/time.
Then I went to power buy (a big electric dealer) and asked for a new battery on 18th February, but still had a same problem. Finally I had to change a new X3-02 on 22nd February.
That happend in 6days after bought it. ***BUT ITS NOT OVER...!!!! Still got battery problem and more***
I went to Nokia Care on 28th February, and found X3-02 couldnt on wifi even I was in Nokia Care, I showed them and we found the touch screen didnt work too. Couldnt push any bottom.
Had to switch off only !!!!
I had to go to Nokia Care in another department store for a few times, and then back to the place that I bought X3-02 for a few times toooo. Do you know what is trouble traffic in BKK and how is far between 2 department stores? Really wasted my time and took some energy with not good feelings ....!!!
How much does the COST that I paid for a new mobile, not only MONEY ...???
I like to stay on Nokia and always recommend to my friends. After these
.... I am not sure ...
I REALLY GIVE UP WITH NOKIA X3-02 ..... I SENT IT BACK TO NOKIA CARE AND REQUEST FOR ANOTHER MODEL INSTEAD.
I got a few calls from Nokia Head Office Thailand.
On 4 th March, they called me and we found an agreement for us that I will get Nokia E5. In eveing on the same day he said " I will got E63 instead BECAUSE E5 is quite new model and we still dont get more feedback from customer ... on Wednesday.
The recently call is that mobile will ready for me at 4pm. on Friday 11th, March.
Why they needed more one week to sent a new one to me ?
Where is the head office of Nokia Thailand...??? Is it in Bkk...??? Or in Finland ...?????
I bought X3-02 on 15 FEBRUARY 2011 !!!!
And my new smart phone is at Nokia Care since 28 FEBRUARY...
What do you think ...with those things that happened to me ?
I am so DISAPPOINTED ....with their product and service.
Just would like to let you know......
i got E63 with 2 million pixel ONLY and with less function than  X3-02 with 5 million pixel camera and more function...
   ******* Is it FAIR to give me E63 instead of X3-02 ......???? ******
I said I want good quality camera and many options even it is old version .... But I got only 2 mpixels + no edit photo with basic smart phone ....
   ...... Sorry for these, but I really can not ACCEPT ....
Nokia Thailand always said "we would be happy to help you" ......
But only words that I got ...and make me UNHAPPY to have E63 till now.
And now here is my question: what would you do in my case ? Or what can Nokia do to make a customer as me to be happy again ?
regards
your customer

For the record, I don't think I am able to upgrade to the current software version.
My phone model is 05411312 (N73 on UK T-Mobile), and NSU won't let me update beyond v. 3.0704.1.0.1
I really want to be able to upgrade, I'm quite annoyed that I can't add all of the amazing new features that Nokia announced for S60 phones a month ago because of this - I want to try the official MSN client, Music Store, etc. I wouldn't have bothered trying to upgrade the software if it wasn't for trying to add these features.

Nokia 6630 - Nokia PC Suite Support Update

Hi to everyone out there to help me,
Few weeks ago, I updated my phone software and after that, I found out that I could view old messages and send new ones from my pc. I loved that feature, but didn't use it often. As I wanted to use it again today, I couldn't... I can view my contacts, calender entries, but cannot view my messages. I can send new ones though...
An error occurs as I connect my phone to my pc (via cable), which I had beforehand too I guess. It's not English, so I will translate it myself:
"Nokia PC Suite
In order to make your phone support new features, the PC Suite support on your phone has to be updated.
Would you like to update the PC Suite support on your cell phone (Nokia 6630)?"
- I click on the green tick.
A quick dissapearing window pops up... It's hard to tell what appears even on my own language xD:
"Installing...
Accept all upcoming approvals on your phone"
Then in 1-2 seconds the message changes into:
"PC Suite support installation failed"
- I click on the green tick, the only option.
Well, as I said before, besides that I am unsure, this problem existed beforehand, and I could view my messages even like that.
I tried repairing the Nokia PC Suite, after I send this message I will uninstall and install it once... I will update the situation...

I have exactly same problem as you described:
PC Suite (7.1.51.0)

As this goes on a banner momentarilydisplays on the phone, it is an Icon and the name "INSTALLER"
this happens twice
then finally,
PC Suite support instalation failed
On the phone i see:
   Tools->Manager-->
        (App. Manager)
         PC_Suite_Sup (70kb)
         Version 1.7.0
On its status, it says it is NOT INSTALLED
So I select the option to install it but when I view the details again its status still says NOT INSTALLED.
I go on and Select REMOVE and it is dutifully removed from the list.
I coldboot the phone and upon verifying that it is not on the app manager list. I restart PC Suite and go through the procedures above (Install PC Suite support) and again it ends up with pc suite installation failed.
Checking on the appmanager, it reappears on the list. but it is NOT INSTALLED as per its status.
I'm thinking perhaps if there was an app (PC SUITE SUPPORT) i can download and install via PC SUite then perhaps that would solve the problem, but I've grown weary (leary?) of trawling Nokia's site(s) for it as I've ended up with zilch thus far.
Any one out there that can help? Someone from Nokia would be nice ...
Ihope i get notification of replies ...

What we want in next UPDATE in Nokia N8 ( Nokia pl...

These are the maing things I am waiting by the next update for nokia n8! please don't release new update without completing these requests below! we have paid big money to buy this device and i am not satisfied for nothing, I am regreting of what i have done, i could buy another os platform phone! damn but i had faith in nokia, but now i know i have done a big mistake. atleast please get these updates on as soon as possible. nokia you have just lost one customer!
1. Media transfer in progress message ( never ends, when mp3 files copy to the device )
2. Go to application and scroll down using right hand scroll bar ( see it is really laggy/choppy - not only in application everywhere if you use scrollbar its really laggy choppy!!!)
but, if you go to, application, music player/photo album, and use the scroll bar ( it's really nice smooth ) we want like that in all applications/every where.
3. Music player with custom equalizer, ( not enough, pop, rock, bass booster etc )
4. NTFS file reader.
5. mkv/avi bug ( some mkv/avi files play but some not )
6. reddish purple display bug ( half side reddish color in screen saver clock )
7. Video camera recording at 30 fps with auto focus ( n8 can record at 30 fps with autofocus)
8. New browser!!!!
9. proccessor over clock to 800mhz

MOUHAHAHAHAHA!
Do yo even know what you 're sayin'?
1/ 4/ if you want a good transfert rat, ntfs file reader, buy a PC, we're talking about a phone which stays 1 to 3days without to charge
2/ you can mod the scroll speed
3/You can customize your equaliser with tunewiki, download for free on ovistore
5/mkv and avi are only containers but there are so so so many formats of image or sound, just think about it and just use a converter
6/ i never saw this, keep it safe and don't let it fall next time
7/ it's already recording at 30fps for tvquality..
It's impossible for hd quality i'm actually experiencing it (30fps for hd + autofocus), the processor OR (maybe) the mass storage is not enough speedy, the result is a movie with a lag every 2seconds, even set at 30fps the final average stay between 27 and 29 (depends of the movie's lenght, moreover the autofocus is very badly used and very loud, you can hear it parasiting the sound of the video
Is your eyes able to see the difference between a video captured in 25fps and 30fps?
8/for your browser (data or internet) you can dl some on ovistore for free (xplore etc.. OPERA etc..)
9/ overclock??? Did you see or hear any fan in your n8?? Or do you want to melt it?
Just think about what you're asking! It 's possible or just ridiculous. how do you speak of the best phone ever released?
Just learn to use it and to know it, maybe you will be able to criticize it
ITS NOT TECHNOLOGY, ITS WHAT YOU DO WITH IT

Pls help - i cant access nokia messaging nokia 630...

Hello there i have been trying everything to get nokia messaging on my mobile phone (nokia 6303) but i just cant seem to download it. It says it is pre-installed on the device but its not and i cant even down load it from the ovi store because it doesnt show up :s I live in england where the phone was purchased (Argos)
Any ideas?
Daniel

Have you got the 6303 or 6303i. The 6303i has Nokia Messaging built in I think.
If it's the 6303i you won't see an app called Nokia Messaging on the phone though, you just go to the Email and set up an email account. If it's compatible with NM then it will use the NM service.
Otherwise, I'm not sure you can get Nokia Messaging as a download for S40 phones. Though you could try updating the firmware and see if it adds it.

Nokia Suite/Nokia Store finally working

I had not tried downloading/installing an app from the Nokia store from within Nokia Suite in quite a while, as it never seemed to work. On a lark, I decided to see whether anything had changed since installing the latest version of Nokia Suite. To my surprise, the selection of apps offered was correct for my phone; the selected apps were downloaded and installed in one step, and the 4 apps that I tried out all worked. I'm glad that Nokia has finally apparently gotten the kinks out of the procedure, as this is now on par with its equivalent through Apple/iOS or through Google/Android.

I think development of Nokia Suite has already stopped.
