Is Nokia 500 and 600available in India?

You will need to contact Nokia retailers in India for a specific answer to that. Only they can tell you when they expect to receive stock of those models.
The 500 is available is some other countries so it shouldn't be too long.

Nokia 500 and Belle Refresh: browser issues.

Greetings.
The Belle Refresh was indeed a welcome refresh for this low-to-midrange phone. However, there is a serious issue with the browser.
With the update to Qt 4.8, you inherited QtWebKit, an amazing browser I know very well. In a desktop, it's fast, although it eats more memory than Firefox. However, in a cell phone like the 500, with limited amounts of RAM, this browser freezes the phone, due to the lack of memory. I'm also sure this browser can and will break phones with more memory and Belle FPx, since I've made QtWebKit use more than 1 GB of RAM in a computer running KDE.
There is a way to avoid this, called "user agent". Opera Mobile avoids this scenario by telling pages through user agent "hey, don't be hard on me, I'm browsing this from a cell phone", and pages adjust themselves to that scenario. However, you didn't tweak the user agent in your browser.
If you add no user agent tweaking, full HTML5 support, Flash Lite support (the much higher specced iPhone 4S doesn't support Flash), and low memory, you get a nightmare scenario.
1. The webpages send their complete, full featured DESKTOP versions to my Nokia 500.
2. QtWebKit supports everything, so, it makes a faithful attempt to properly render the page, even with Flash apps.
3. Nokia 500 has only 70-80 MB of RAM free for apps to use.
4. Boom.
Can you release a hotfix for Belle Refresh, changing the user agent of Nokia Browser to something that can trigger the mobile version of web pages? In that scenario, QtWebKit will eat much less memory and everyone will be happy. And please, can you do this for everyone using Belle Refresh?

I can confirm serious browser issues with the Belle refresh on a C6-01 device. The crash is so severe that only taking out the battery helps. It typically occurs when scrolling larger, feature-rich (and image-rich) webpages, so far I've seen this only on mobile connections (Edge, Umts), but that may be due to lack of testing with WLAN. (Where I've got WLAN I've usually a more powerful device as well..

Nokia 500 Problem with Tracking mode and touch sc...

Hi,
I just bought Nokia 500 and I am having lot of problem
1. When I use navigator..it should be in tracking mode not in browing mode so I can see where i am going on where is the turn. But as soon as it calculate the route, withing few second it automatically comes in browsing mode. Even if I press back arrow on left bottom corner it again shows browsing mode. However, sometime it's working fine and always display tracking mode. I am not sure how to switch between the mode. As per manual, I need to hit the back arrow left bottom corner but that does not work for me.
2. The second problem is really bad. The touchscreen response is slow. It looks like the processor is slow. Particularly if I go to Setup menu..it automatically goes to system. I just touch Setup on main menu and sometimes it automatically goes into system. If I manually go to system..it automatically goes to About ..menu. It just behaves randomly..I have done screen calibration many times. but still issue is there. Also, when I got to keyboard to enter address..it automatially press Q key. Not sure what's wrong here
Anybody please suggest me what's wrong. Do I need to replace it with nokia?

Hi
Night mode is designed to work without flash. So either use flash or night mode, but not both.
Cheers

Nokia 500 Touch problem

I had just brought Nokia 500 and after 2 or 3 days i updated it to Symbia Belle my touch has become crazy.
Many times it happenes that when I am using the phone different application like contact, web etc starts opening automitacally and when I try to to cancel it, the touch doesn't work for me.

Nokia 500 Review on Symbian Belle

After the update screen went through, I had my fingers crossed, and despite the screen saying “15 minutes remaining,” the update was finished in about 5 minutes.
Upon startup, there was a line of dots (….) which lighted up on after the other sort of like a loading bar and it was. After the loading came the usual language selection and Ovi suite options (“Create an Ovi Account” “I have an account” and of course “Later.”) after going through the Ovi suite options (literally took 10 seconds) my carrier had charged me about 0.45cents (USD cents) for the tips I had signed up on while I still had Symbian Anna on the device. Nokia suite was installing support software after the phone booted up and after 5 more minutes, I set the date, time and location and I was presented with the home screen. The standard home screen as on other Belle devices with the Flip clock, Ovi Social widget and 4 icons (Camera, contacts, Angry birds [oh yea!] and Maps) at the last widget’s position; at the bottom edge of the screen are menu, call and home screen options. The widgets take a few seconds to load but once they load they don’t lag. The second home screen has “Favorite contacts” widgets and 4 more icons (Messaging, Store, Calendar and Web), the third home screen has a Music player widget and the 4th home screen is blank for the user to customize. Unlike other Nokia/Symbian Belle devices, the Nokia 500 only has 4 home screens as opposed to 6.
The lock screen is similar to the Anna screen and is only redesigned. The Belle home screen allows usage of a background unlike Symbian Anna’s.
Now the menu: unlike Symbian Anna, the menu does not have an applications folder so everything is spread out on the home screen creating a mini mess. Luckily, there is an option to create a new folder in which to put your apps in.
In Symbian Anna, the keypad for ‘Call’ was not very user friendly as the ‘*’ and ‘#’ where not where they would be on a physical alphanumerical keypad, but on Belle, the keypad is identical to the physical one and very responsive.
Apps:
While Symbian Anna lagged on the Nokia 500, Nokia Belle is very smooth. I don’t see any major changes with the camera on the 500 and the quality remains the same. There have been some rumors going around about the Nokia 500 getting HD video with the Belle update but these rumors are not true and the Nokia 500 remains with the usual 640p*313p video. While on Symbian Anna, there was no ‘Gallery’ icon but there is one on Symbian Belle and a separate ‘Videos’ icon is there too for easy access to downloaded videos (yes downloaded videos or those NOT taken with the phone’s camera). The angry birds app is a hugely wanted app for the Nokia 500 and is very identical to the computer version. Actually, it IS the computer version in smaller scale. Symbian Belle still allows the user to kill unwanted applications running in the background by holding down the menu key and clicking the ‘X’ icon. Ovi maps on the device is version 3.06 as predicted and even if not version 3.08, it still gets the job done.
The settings menu is the same and nothing major there too. On Symbian Anna, the Nokia 500 has many themes for different colors but on Symbian/Nokia Belle, the 500 only has one “Nokia Evolve” theme which means the users have to download their own themes for personalization.
Overall, the icons seem a bit smaller especially on the home screen and this makes the phone look abit tiny which it is. The size was not brought out in Symbian Anna but in Belle we can see how small the screen on the phone is compared to devices like the E7, N8 and Nokia 701.
With Symbian Belle, the Nokia 500 is able to really show its 1Ghz processor at work and even if it might not be able to play (fancy) 3D games due to the lack of a OpenGL compatible GPU, it can still allow us to play OpenVG games such as “Asphalt 6: Adrenaline” and “Nuke Defender 3D” available from Ovi store.

Great to see you are a happy user. I have just bought two Nokia 500 phones (another for my wife), upgraded to Belle, and both have the same infuriating problems:
- system crashes half a dozen times a day without any warning (during calls, browsing, text messaging)
- if I change the language for text messages, I cannot type anything (SMS) any more
- when phone goes to sleep, it often won't wake up and I need to remove the battery (after doing this 4-5 times a day one starts to get very frustrated).
I am very disappointed and cannot recommend the phone to anyone. First Nokia that I feel this way with.

Message reader for nokia 500

In my old Nokia E51 I had the message reader that read aloud email messages. Now the new Nokia 500 has a message reader that read aloud only SMS messages.
Do anyone use a new nokia smartphone to read aloud email messages ? Is there any hope to have the message reader in the Belle update that is already available for some Nokia 500 ?
In few words the message reader of the Belle is the same as the one in my Anna ?

If lock code has been incorrectly recorded upon device in these circumstances, probably no choice other than to visit Nokia Care facility with proof of purchase for it to be reset to factory default value of 12345.

Maps for the Nokia 500

I am new to the GPS world. I recently purchased the Nokia 500 and would like to know if any map updates are available. Are these provided free of charge like other GPS manufacturers? Thanks!

first of all I don't think "others" provide free maps update. At least I used to own TomTom and they charged me ~$80 for update. Second, right now Nokia does not have any maps or POIs updates. So there's no info when it's available and how much it's going to cost. Trust me, I called them 200 times, no one knows answer. The only thing available is software update. If you bought your GPS recently I don't think you need it.

Nokia 500 navigation

Hi all,
I have device Nokia 500 and I need update for this. Can you advice me, how make it.
Thanks

Search the forums. Nokia 500 is not getting update anytime soon or I must add ever.
Google it, unlock it, it runs Windows CE, install 3rd party softwares (iGo, Magelan, TomTom, Garmin) and enjoy.

Hi,
I have purchased the nokia 500 and am very happy with it! I'm wondering if one can acquire and display the maps with imagery background... see fields from forest or buildings may assist further in locating!
Thanks

Hi, It is strange! I have the same problem, or quite similar. First, I could not in any way to disable(block), WiFi, still connected to my home network. Very nice, but I mean the saving of the battery and primarily aimed at controlling the WiFi connection. Even when you delete the software (Gmail, etc.) you can see it WiFi icon, which means that the system is armed and searches WiFi ...
1. Where is the turn off WiFi on the Nokia 500?
2. How do I set that in general the receiver turned off WiFi and did notconsume energy?
3.Where can I turn off the GPS receiver?

The game your probably referring to is the HD version for Android devices so it's not available for Nokia phones. However, there is a non-HD version available for the Nokia 500 and can be purchased from GAMELOFT.

Nokia 500 software improvements - my $0.02

I just bought a Nokia 500, and so far I really like it, but there are a couple of things I would like to either know how to do or see improved/added in future versions (sort of in order of preference). I'm sure I'll have more, but this is what occurs to me after two days of use.
- support for a US provider of TMC traffic data (e.g. Clear Channel or MSN Direct). MSN uses NAVTEQ, which is owned by Nokia, and MSN service is cheaper, but I don't know if that is something that can be done with a software update - Is it still TMC?
- automatically turn on FM transmitter when phone rings (or be able to leave it on without having to play music all the time)
- bluetooth stero headset profile so I can play music off my iphone (I know, iPhone doesn't support their end of this yet either) through the Nokia and into the car radio, still getting the pause for spoken directions
- Ability to synch contacts with MS Outlook or even with a comma-delimited file and a way to manage contacts better on the device itself (see next item)
- better contacts synch with non-Nokia phones (again, my iPhone may be the problem here, but I got all the names imported with no associated numbers or addresses). Had to do a factory reset to remove them.
- Change the keyboard layout to QWERTY
- better POI database - searching for Target found two - both over 100 miles away, there are probably three dozen of them closer than that. I haven't played with it any more yet, but have read a lot of complaints about this.
Ability to turn off the voice guidance (maybe can already do this, but haven't found it.
Entering zip codes doesn't seem to work for me. But it may just be that I'm still not entirely comfortable with the interface.

my 2 cents
1. Nokia provides built in TMC in charger and I don't see any reasons why it doesn't work in US.
2. I'm not sure about turning FM transmitter everytime phone rings, but turning off after 1 min is a big down size, for me at least. You won't be listening silent FM channel in your car and wait when somebody call, and internal speaker is pretty good.
3. Don't own iPhone and never will own one. Streaming music from your phone might be a good idea if you have music on your phone.
4. Again, don't use Outlook. So agree with you, it might be nice feature, but not for me.
5. No problem syncing Motorola Z6. I mean no problem at all. All contacts were synced, perfect calling quality. One of the thing can be done, managing contacts on gps device: adding, editing, removing.
6. yes, yes, yes! it odd that Nokia builds smart phones with QWERTY keyboard, and ditches it on gps device.
7. yes! better maps, better pois, regular updates. and do something about weird routing.
8 and 9. voice doesn't bother me, i can always put volume down, zip codes need improving. I put at least 2 zip codes that gps didn't recognize.
Overall: Average device, definitely not the best on the market, that needs a lot of improvement.
