Is the T500 still the flagship?

I ask because I'm in the market for a replacement for my venerable and rather past-it T42 but Lenovo doesn't make the machine I want: Dell does. As a long-time ThinkPad user, I'm reluctant to go that - but I do need a new laptop. Will Lenovo be making a T500 with an LED backlit screen anytime soon, for instance?

Lenovo already offers T500 with LED. As for flagship I really do not know. Sometime it looks like Lenovo has focused their attention to X series with its vecerable X301 which looks really premium product with premium price. However, T500 still is worth of the money, as far as I am concerned although I still prefer the older T61.
But if you think that Dell works better for you the go for a Dell. I pondered about buyng Dell myself a couple of months ago but decided that it would not work as good for me as T61.

Apple: please reconsider EOL the flagship 17" MacBook Pro

Feedback I just left:
Please count my vote to restore the 17" MacBook Pro line to "current."
It is a huge mistake to discontinue the flagship 17", even if sales are poor compared to other laptops.
It makes Apple look like a lesser Dell not to carry the 17".
It also makes me really sad. Instead of getting a new 17" at the end of the year like I planned, I'll hold onto this, my third 17", until it dies. Bummer. Bummer. Bummer.
What? You even took it out of the "which model do you own" dropdown in the comments?
Please, please don't make such un-Apple-like decisions, unless you want to be just another tech company. You didn't get to have the largest market cap in the world by making the kind of decisions every other ordinary company does.
I'm a girl, and I have no trouble carrying the 17" MacBook Pro back and forth to work every day.

Yes, I understand, Bob.
That's why my post starts with "Feedback I just left."
Perhaps I should have provided a link should any other 17" owners wish to send something similar.

Do better than the best!

@ grshinon
only time will tell when these phones are released by SAMSUNG, NOKIA. For NSERIES recording at 30FPS is pretty dam good. near DVD quality. so when HD capture and recording are implemented into new phones i think there going to be really good with the help of Symbian OS 9.5 it can & 3D Accelerated Chip (used in N95, N82) can help improve the feature.

Nokia Has Forsaken the N96 in Asia-Pacific.

Go to the Nokia Asia Pacific support page for the N96 - http://www.nokia-asia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/nokia-n96 and it's official - Nokia have forsaken this handset.
It's actually quite embarrassing. This page has not changed since December 2008 when firmware version 12.043 came out. And that's been it for Asia Pacific customers. As of today, 31st October 2009, the page still invites you to update to the 'latest' 12.043!!
Meanwhile, the rest of the world has enjoyed firmware releases 21.xxx and now 30.033 (not that it instills me with any confidence that in 30 software versions, Nokia STILL cannot get it right), but this is a downright slap in the face to customers who have paid TOP DOLLAR for this phone (remember, it was the flagship model 12 months ago). It simply isn't good enough, Nokia!
After repeated emails and calls to Nokia, and similar to my service provider, Optus, reporting all the daily crashes, lock-ups and overall SLOWNESS of this phone, I finally took my case to the Telephone Industry Ombudsman (TIO) here in Australia.
I kid you not, within HOURS I had a customer service rep from Optus phoning me to apologise profusely for the lack of support for this phone. Some investigations were made, and Optus, still unable to get any reasonable response from Nokia, offered me an entirely new phone - to my choice - without having to sign up to another plan (I still have 12-months to go on the N96).
So that's it for me everyone! Reading around the forum here I see the N97 is beset with just as much **bleep** as the N96, and so my nice shiny new iPhone 3GS 32GB is on the way. Thanks Optus!!
This N96 is going now where it thoroughly deserves to be - in the bin!! And good riddance!
Needless to say, it is definitely the last Nokia that will ever darken my doorstep. After over 15 years of customer loyalty, I'm off.
See you all over on the iPhone forums?

Nokia: Connecting People... with iPhones.

I think Optus may have been telling you some porkies.
I had similar experiences with my Vodafone Ireland N95 8gb. I bought it with V12. When V21 was released, I waited a few months and nothing happened so I contacted Vodafone who immediately blamed Nokia, so I contacted Nokia only to be told the firmware update had been sent to Vodafone for their modification and approval. It was up to Vodafone to modify the soft to include their branding nd then return it to Nokia for release. After further frustrating calls to Vodafone, I was finally put through to someone who told me that the update was on his desk and he would get round to it the next week and he did. I got my V21 the next week.
When the next update came along, once again I waited and finally decided to ring when there was no sign of it. Again Vodafone's immediate response was to blame Nokia. However I knew better this time and finally got put through to the correct person again. This time he told me they had no intentions of spending anymore time on updates for the N95 8gb because it was not a popular phone for them and that V21 was stable enough. In other words I am stuck at V21 and still amto this day. Maybe I should contact the ombudsman as well.
I think Optus have not told you the truth and have paid you off with a new phone to keep you quiet. The truth is they can't be bothered working on the update since you could be the only one shouting for it.

My personal laundry list for the N8.

Notably, the bugs I have experienced thus far are:
1. Inability for Wi-Fi to connect in Offline mode if you have previously gone to Offline mode and said No when activating an app that requires data connection.
2. When you turn on the phone without a SIM card, then hit the Call button, it will stay in an infinite loop in the Dialer screen. It'll ask you to please insert a sim card, followed by either OK or Cancel. So after you insert the SIM card, you hit OK, then it repeats the question. If you hit Cancel, it repeats the question. You can't get out of this infinite cycle other than turning the N8 off.
3. After a hard reset of your phone, the Ovi Social app is missing the widget for the home screen. Yes, you can go to the Nokia Messaging OTA site to get the update, but after 2 hard resets, the installation of the update gives me a "Unable to install" error. Which is a joke, because after the first hard reset it worked wonderfully. And it never worked for me subsequently.
4. Even after defining a WLAN destination, if you don't have a SIM card, you can't configure any mail other Mail for Exchange. Yes, the new Mail app tries to use mail routed through Nokia, but at least give me the option to create mailboxes using old traditional direct IMAP or POP3.
5. With my N95 and N97, as soon as I turn on my car (equipped with Nokia CK-100), I automatically get connected to BT HFP and A2DP profiles. The car kit will tell me, "Phone connected." A second later, "Player connected." With the N8, the car kit will only connect to just the phone automatically. For the player to connect while the car is on, I have to open up the music player and play a music, which will force N8 to make the A2DP connection. So when that happens, you hear a 1.5 second message saying, "Player connected" followed by music that is already 2 to 3 seconds into the song. I thought it was perhaps the Car Kit getting full with the list of paired devices (memory is for 8 pairings), but clearing the list doesn't help. I thought it was the Car Kit firmware, so I upgraded it to 4.401, no luck. Then when I tried my old N97 and N95, it worked as expected! But not the N8.
6. Sometimes after a hard reset, even when I respond with selecting my country/city and entering my time, the phone will start with the UK time zone instead. The UTC time is correct, but for the wrong time zone. Why does it do that?!?
7. 60% of the time when I turn on the phone (even when it was Normal mode during the previous shut down), I do not get the classic Nokia tone when the iconic handshake video plays. This is your brand recognition! Something so valuable that it's impossible to put a dollar value on it. And you botch that up?!?
List of the reduced functionalities:
1. In previous generations of Mail app, if an email contains what appears to be a phone number, Symbian will make it clickable so that you can call the number. Not so with Mail app in S^3.
2. In previous versions of Messaging app, if I receive a SMS, I can either click on the call button (no longer exists in the N8) or Options > Call to call the sender of the SMS automatically. Now, with S^3, the Call option is no longer in Options. Makes it really hard to call the SMS sender back while you're driving.
3. In the previous generations of Mail app, I can call up the Listen option when I'm either in a Mailbox or have the email open, and it will read the email. Now, this functionality only exists on the Messaging app, not Mail app.
4. If you open up the Message Reader app, it will be able to playback all your SMS, MMS, Mail mailbox's messages. Great, right? But in order to listen to an email, you must first go through all the SMS messages first before it will play back any emails. So if you have 20 SMSs, you have to click on the FFw button 20 times before you get to listen to your email. Truly a brilliant design, whoever came up with that.
5. In the previous Symbian web browsers, when I hit the Back button, I can either go back/forward using the left/right gestures, and selecting a page by tapping the page. I also have the option of hitting the left or right arrows right above the soft keys and hitting Select (left soft key) or Cancel/Stop (right soft key). In the N8, everything but the Select key is there. Now it's replaced by a blank?!? If you want to force me to use gestures and taps, then at least do me a favor and remove the left/right arrows on the screen. (Surprisingly, if I invoke the web browser using the YouTube "app", the Select soft key appears during back/forward navigation. Hmmm...)
List of improvement suggestions:
1. Whenever you're in a screen that has a tiny left/right arrow (such as reading an SMS message, or looking at your Messaging Inbox, allow me to swipe left or right to go to the previous/next message or folder. This functionality already exists in the Calendar app. So why stop there? Not only that, but extend it to Settings menu! Why should gestures be limited to up and down, except for the Calendar application that allows left/right?
2. Allow landscape dialer, like the N97.
3. Uhm, what happened to the Converter application? It has been a staple of all Nokia phones, and suddenly it's missing from the flagship phone? Nokia's comeback phone?!?
4. A much simpler VPN application? Look at what Apple did in just a little over a year. A simple process of logging into Cisco VPN. What's Nokia's way, after having VPN solution for years and years? Still a mess.
5. Previously, connectivity settings were easier to get to with the N91, N95 and N97. Now, I have A) Menu > Options > Settings > Connectivity > Wi-Fi, and B) Menu > Options > Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Switch to Wi-Fi? I can work around it as a power user. What about those people who make up the biggest market share of iPhone users who are not technologically savvy? And do you see the irony with Settings buried within Settings menu?
6. Port all functionalities of PC Suite to Ovi Suite, and fix all the bugs in Ovi Suite. The latest 3.0.0.271 still has bugs and missing functionalities. Open back up the dual code development pipelines (PC Suite and Ovi Suite) to the N8 until all core functionalites are successfully brought over to Ovi Suite.
Nokia, I hope this thread captures your attention within the developers and management. Thank you.

Status update after installing PR 1.1 version 013.016 for product code 059DV2 on 2011.02.20, plus new bug reports after testing and using PR 1.1 extensively for 44 days. I thought I needed to put in this status update before installing PR 1.2, which became available on 2011.04.03 for my market.
1. Inability for Wi-Fi to connect in Offline mode if you have previously gone to Offline mode and said No when activating an app that requires data connection. Status as of PR 1.1: Semi-fixed. After installing PR 1.1, when you're in Offline mode and you use an App that required Internet connection and subsequently say No when asked if you want to allow WiFi in Offline mode, it will still prompt you later on. But this is semi-fixed because sometimes, when the N8 is in Offline mode and you try to access an app that needs Internet connection, the question "Allow Wi-Fi connections during this offline period?" doesn't even bother to prompt you, other than "Conn. Unavailable" in the upper left corner of the screen. What da?!?
2. When you turn on the phone without a SIM card, then hit the Call button, it will stay in an infinite loop in the Dialer screen. It'll ask you to please insert a sim card, followed by either OK or Cancel. So after you insert the SIM card, you hit OK, then it repeats the question. If you hit Cancel, it repeats the question. You can't get out of this infinite cycle other than turning the N8 off. Status as of PR 1.1: Fixed.
3. After a hard reset of your phone, the Ovi Social app is missing the widget for the home screen. Yes, you can go to the Nokia Messaging OTA site to get the update, but after 2 hard resets, the installation of the update gives me a "Unable to install" error. Which is a joke, because after the first hard reset it worked wonderfully. And it never worked for me subsequently. Status as of PR 1.1: Unknown. Have not tried to do a hard reset, but now that Social is on 1.3, I'm sure the installer file now includes the widget. But I also heard that the latest beta version of 1.3 (as of this writing) may require an uninstallation of older versions of Social first, otherwise it may fail. Other reports indicate Social no longer works after the update. Follow the discussion in betalabs.nokia.com for the Social 1.3 app.
4. Even after defining a WLAN destination, if you don't have a SIM card, you can't configure any mail other Mail for Exchange. Yes, the new Mail app tries to use mail routed through Nokia, but at least give me the option to create mailboxes using old traditional direct IMAP or POP3. Status as of PR 1.1: Still unfixed. No SIM card, no ability to define a new mailbox other than Mail for Exchange. You absolutely must have SIM card. Why?!?
5. With my N95 and N97, as soon as I turn on my car (equipped with Nokia CK-100), I automatically get connected to BT HFP and A2DP profiles. The car kit will tell me, "Phone connected." A second later, "Player connected." With the N8, the car kit will only connect to just the phone automatically. For the player to connect while the car is on, I have to open up the music player and play a music, which will force N8 to make the A2DP connection. So when that happens, you hear a 1.5 second message saying, "Player connected" followed by music that is already 2 to 3 seconds into the song. I thought it was perhaps the Car Kit getting full with the list of paired devices (memory is for 8 pairings), but clearing the list doesn't help. I thought it was the Car Kit firmware, so I upgraded it to 4.401, no luck. Then when I tried my old N97 and N95, it worked as expected! But not the N8. Status as of PR 1.1: Still broken. I won't be able to test this out with PR 1.2, since I ripped out Nokia CK-100 and installed CK-600. I've never used the N97 with CK-600, so I don't know if the A2DP connection is automatic or not, but with N8 PR 1.1 and either CK-100 or CK-600, the A2DP connection is still NOT automatic.
6. Sometimes after a hard reset, even when I respond with selecting my country/city and entering my time, the phone will start with the UK time zone instead. The UTC time is correct, but for the wrong time zone. Why does it do that?!? Status as of PR 1.1: Unknown. I've only done 1 hard reset since upgrading to PR 1.1, and it didn't misbehave. But during PR 1.0, the behavior wasn't constant, but half the time.
7. 60% of the time when I turn on the phone (even when it was Normal mode during the previous shut down), I do not get the classic Nokia tone when the iconic handshake video plays. This is your brand recognition! Something so valuable that it's impossible to put a dollar value on it. And you botch that up?!? Status as of PR 1.1: Still a problem. Now, it seems like 90% of the time when I turn on the N8, the Nokia tone doesn't play during the hand shake.
8. [New bug in PR 1.1] Light time-out: I never had a problem with this in N8 PR 1.0, but only started noticing this in PR 1.1. When you have a browser up and running, and you leave the N8 alone, like no movement or screen activity such as leaving it on a table, the screen doesn't black out after the allotted time setting in Settings > Phone > Display > Light time-out. It will go dim, but the screensaver never kicks in. This happens 75% of the time, and is quite annoying. This behavior seems to manifest itself when you're in an app that requires Internet connection, such as the browser or email application.
9. [New bug in PR 1.1 or possibly in PR 1.0 as well] Apps dependent on operator even on unlocked and unsubsidized Nokia phones: I am not sure if this is a new problem with PR 1.1 or existed in PR 1.0, but it appears that some apps like Social, Email and Ovi Maps are dependent on operator permissions, even if the device is unsubsidized and purchased unlocked. I don't know if this is a problem with PR 1.0 because when I traveled from 2011.02.25 to 2011.03.10, I already upgraded my N8 to PR 1.1. But basically, after I popped in a pre-paid SIM card at another country, starting Social and trying to log in will tell me something along the lines of checking with the operator and then telling me I cannot use Social. (I traveled to China.) But I could kind of work around it by exiting, then tapping the Social widget. Sometimes hitting refresh will somehow allow me to get Facebook updates in China, and sometimes it will tell me Service Unavailable. Likewise with Ovi Maps. When I was back home in the USA, I had many other online services, like Time Out, Lonely Planet, Trip Advisor, etc. But once I popped in a Chinese SIM card and go online with the operator (3G or Edge), all my online services disappeared, and replaced with Chinese services which was totally useless as my USA N8 cannot render Chinese characters. Mind you, I did not connect to 3G or Edge for a few days, so during those few days when I was just using WiFi, I was still able to look up things in English in Trip Advisor, such as nearby restaurants or hotels. But as soon as I connected online via SIM operator network, features started disappearing. Same with email behavior. No SIM inserted, can't configure new email mailboxes. No SIM card, Social displays "Service is not available" even if I have WiFi AP connected. The important question here is, why are unlocked and unsubsidized S^3 phones even checking with the operator if I can run whatever services?
List of the reduced functionalities:
1. In previous generations of Mail app, if an email contains what appears to be a phone number, Symbian will make it clickable so that you can call the number. Not so with Mail app in S^3. Status as of PR 1.1: Still a problem.

(Surprisingly, if I invoke the web browser using the YouTube "app", the Select soft key appears during back/forward navigation. Hmmm...) Status as of PR 1.1: Still a problem.
6. [New reduction of functionality in PR 1.1] This is truly a new one for Nokia - Breathing Light Notification: In the N8 PR 1.1, when you go to Settings > Phone > Notification lights > Notification light > Events notified, you can now enable/disable 2 events: "Missed call" and "New message". But in PR 1.0, you had a third choice: "New email". Uhm... **bleep**?!? Why would Nokia remove a notification event type?!? Is the business justification that nobody cared enough about the breathing light that having some extra lines of code for notification of new emails would be a waste of precious firmware C:\ drive space?!?
7. No ability to specify which drive to use for Mailbox repository: In the previous iterations of Symbian, I could tell the mailbox which drive to use, the C:\ drive or the mass storage or even the memory card. Now, that flexibility is gone. Why is this a problem? Recently, I was sending a bunch of emails with big attachments, and suddenly, I was notified that C: drive was running out of memory! What do you know? The Sent mail is stored in C:\ drive! That's real smart, considering real estate in C:\ drive is already little to begin with.
List of improvement suggestions:
1. Whenever you're in a screen that has a tiny left/right arrow (such as reading an SMS message, or looking at your Messaging Inbox, allow me to swipe left or right to go to the previous/next message or folder. This functionality already exists in the Calendar app. So why stop there? Not only that, but extend it to Settings menu! Why should gestures be limited to up and down, except for the Calendar application that allows left/right? Status as of PR 1.1: Nokia is still ignoring me on this one.
2. Allow landscape dialer, like the N97. Status as of PR 1.1: Added! Kudos!
3. Uhm, what happened to the Converter application? It has been a staple of all Nokia phones, and suddenly it's missing from the flagship phone? Nokia's comeback phone?!? Status as of PR 1.1: Nokia is still ignoring me on this one.

Open back up the dual code development pipelines (PC Suite and Ovi Suite) to the N8 until all core functionalites are successfully brought over to Ovi Suite. Status as of PR 1.1: Technically this isn't a problem with the firmware on the N8 but rather a problem with PC Suite in disallowing N8 connectivity. Anybody wants to give me an update on the latest version of PC Suite 7.1.5X.X? Since the Nokia "Download software" support site no longer has a link to PC Suite but just Ovi Suite, I suspect PC Suite will never be opened up for N8.
Nokia, I hope this thread captures your attention within the developers and management. Thank you.

Seriously!?! Serious problems with the customer support and AppleCare.

I have a macbook pro. I've had it since Aug 2007, so it's old, i get it. But I'm a poor starving student and I bought the computer with the idea that it was a quality product that would last me though my studies. However, it has been the shop for repairs literally, every year, often multiple times per year, since I bought it. Everything from DVD (twice failed, more than two visits), to hard drive failure, to replacing the motherboard. That's just what I remember. The thing is a lemon.
Fortunately I bought apple care, great idea right? It was for the first year or two. However over a year before AppleCare was set to expire it started having problems over heating, freezing, and subsequently giving me that scary roll down 'restart your computer immediately screen'. It gets so hot you can't set it on your lap - it burns. I repeatedly brought it into the shop for help (the flagship one on Regents Street in London), and they couldn't seem to do anything. When I explained time was of the essence because I wanted it covered under AppleCare, they seemed unbothered, it seeed they were clearly waiting for it to expire first. Dodgy.
During the appointments they couldn't seem to replicate the issue in the shop (it take about 30 minutes to an hour to really scorch, and seems to not be related to how hard the CPU works). And said because they could see it do it, they were not able to help. Really, in the whole history of apple, I'm the only one to have a computer over heat? Really? Instead, they sent me away asking me to come back later "when it starts doing it again". Okay, as I said, it always overheats, it just takes a while to start, so unless we sit together in quiet awkwardness waiting, and waiting, it's not going to happen. And as the appointments take about three days to get so it's not like I can just pop round when it starts to happen and say, feel, it's really hot now, will you please, for the love of God, find a solution now? And it's a bit of a walk to the store, and there are no internet cafe's near by for me to go heat it up at, so it's always going to cool before I arrive. Duh.
And why is the burden of proof on me? It's like they are insinuating that I just love popping round the apple store every few months, all the vain hope that I can have a ...free part?
Still I persevered, taking it in when the problem seemed to exacerbate, and making sure I used it a bit first to get it warmed up. All the while with the warranty getting closer and closer to expiration. Finally, we got it to do it in the shop. But for a fix, they just sprayed it with air, and told me to "see if that works". It didn't. And I ask you, why is it in no other visit, they could not have come to this ground breaking solution? Did they really have to feel it get hot to realize overheating may have something to do with a clogged fan?
I should also note that they then proceeded to put it back together wrong, and I was unable to open it because a misplaced screw caused it to lock shut. It took two days to get a new appointment to get it fixed, even when I called to explain that it was their error, and I really, really, needed my laptop.
Anyway, as I said, it didn't fix the problem. So I had to go back yet again, at this point I can't remember if I was still under applecare or if it had just expired. It doesn't matter, because, again, without being able to make it get hot on their own (even though they had case history where it was clear that it had, and this was not just in my imagination, and even more case history showing it had a history of instability), they couldn't offer me any solutions. All they could do, they said, was suggest that I leave it with them for "about a week" to check it over. A week!! Who goes without a computer for a week?!?! I'm not a student in 1985.
So now, I'm sitting here writing you am email from my laptop which is sitting on a towel in my lap to protect my thighs from mac burn. The warranty has now long passed, but the problem has now finally progressed to the point that it takes much less than 30 to reach scalding point, so I could prove it if there were any point. But there isn't, because now when I call the apple people, they assure me that it must be a hardware issue (and furthermore that the apple employees should have been able to tell me this over a year ago), and unless I want to buy parts there just isn't anything that they can do. Which leads me to my next point, if the problem started while under warranty, and you have documentation of this, why do I - a poor starving student - have to pay for this just because it took you, Apple, a year and half to finally figure out the problem?
So to recap, I decided to pay the exorbitant apple costs and make the switch from PC because I thought that the stability of the machines, the so touted excellent customer service, and the superior programs were worth the cost. And to be fair, the programs are fabulous, the apps integrate smoothly, and it starts up with a flash. Unfortunately I can't enjoy any of this with my laptop on my lap without risking burning through my pants. I can only enjoy these benefits for about 30 minutes before it starts freezing due to the heat. And, a few times a year I have to make multiple journeys to the apple store (which is, to be fair, really quite a nice store) to get the latest hardware problem fixed, which means I'm often without it for days to over a week at a time. All in all, it's not worth the money to me - one of those young, hip, cutting edge media types you are trying so hard to market to - until you can fix your customer service issues, put knowledgable people in positions to help, and have the internal support systems to get it done with at least enought efficiency to keep up with the technology demands of the modern world.

It sounds as if this is coming back to Norton Security...

My experience with the N97 - "my last Nokia"

Hi everyone,
I know this is a user-to-user support forum but I believe a complaint to be some sort helps users to decide whether the N97 is for them or not. Before you read on, this post will contain comparisons to competitors, so if you hate apples, feel free to ignore me! (Also I don't think users should stop harassing Nokia for what they have done to us - the more complaints the better. Igoring customers is not a very good corporate strategy. Eventually it will take them down - people buy Nokia for quality, otherwise they could buy a rip-off from ebay).
Just skimming over the posts shows me that I am not alone. So let me share my experience with Nokia and the N97. I am too tired complaining about this phone, at least I think my experience has made sure that no-one of my friends and relatives is ever going to buy a Nokia again.
When I bought the phone for then 500 pounds at the Nokia flagship store in London it seemed nice enough. Good camera, decent keyboard and features competitors could only dream of. Unfortunately, that's paperwork. For a start, the much advertised facebook application was completely disfunctional and taking into account that Nokia clearly tried to compete with the iphone (my apologies again for mentioning a competitor) frankly a lame joke. I know a firmware update has somewhat relieved the situation now, but I will come to that later.
Okay, so I have disabled the facebook application. Not a drama, surely the rest will work okay. But then after a week some of the pictures I took with the built-in camera weren't accessible anymore (broken image displayed). Again, I have another camera and I was hoping for a firmware update so I ignored it. I had now started using the joikuspot app to browse the internet on my linux box. Very nice. I started using email a lot on my phone but again was disappointed. I have a £165 ipod touch here. Without kinetic scrolling and an extremely bad UI design, by which I mean the icons and menus (ignoring the graphics flaws all the time) it is no match for the ipod, so what i did was to use joiku spot with my ipod touch. Before that firmware update the N97s browser was also still buggy so I used joikuspot for that too. I was now down to using my £500 smartphone as a wireless modem. What a shame. But I was still hoping for some kind of magic update.
Then finally, I found out about the firmware update. I had to open my phone, check the serial and visit the Nokia website. Unfortunately, the Ovi software and drivers supplied with the phone did not recognize my N97 properly. Something which I think was fixed with the firmware update (anyone seeing a circular dependency here? ) Furthermore, the built-in firmware update over 3G seemed to be disabled. So I made the journey back to the flagship store in London, explaining the problem. I was greeted by an extremly rude employee. Well, I think that's not really his fault, I guess he was just sick of all the complaints. Anyways, I told him that the 3G update was not working and he started to be really patronizing telling me that I wouldn't listen to him (he said it was "working" but "disabled"). Maybe I should have told him that I am a software engineer and that in 99.9% of the cases in which we disable a feature, the reason is that it is "not working". Anyways, he kindly allowed me to use one of their machines to update the firmware "at my own risk", which worked. At no point I have received an apology for the fact that I have paid Nokia £500 to beta-test their products.
Now of course, the firmware update has succeeded, but is all fine? Far from it.... As many report on this forum the N97s battery meter is faulty. Countless times, my phone has just literally died overnight. It even forgets time and date! This is more than bad - every phone I have had so far complained about a draining battery well in advance. I had to dig out my old phone to serve as an alarm clock again - the fact that the alarm clock itself is unreliable is a alltogether different matter... One time the battery died during the day - after doing nothing for 4 hours in my sports bag (started with 1 bar down). When I had to make a call that day, for the first time in I don't know how many years I had to use a telephone box. Progress?!
The firmware update has also barely improved the email client - just a few ui glitches solved. However, the biggest issue at the moment seems to be the weird memory organization. When I buy a phone I don't want to deal with something like the c drive problem. Reinstalling applications on the 32gb partition helps somewhat but why didn't Nokia do that in the first place? Has this phone never been tested?The phone is still way too slow.
I can't comment on the iplayer app - says it needs wlan to work. But the youtube player has crashed every time i used it. And by crashing I mean it took down the whole phone with it. I admit that my ipod crashed a few times too - in just under a year (~3 times). But the reset was straightforward every time. With the N97, the only thing that seems to help is to take the battery out!
Before I forget, the N97 doesn't even work as a phone. In a 30 minute conversation, the call got dropped 4 times. I don't know whether it was because of a calibration issue with the proximity sensor or a more serious problem, all I know is that this is unacceptable!
I am sick of the phone and Nokia's service. The joikuspot app ran out and asks me to pay... I have paid £500 pounds for the bloody phone already. The adobe reader asks me to pay... (somehow it ran out without me even using it). Maybe you see why I am getting angry now - the only use case that actually put the N97 on top of my old phone was gone. What infuriated me even more, is that Nokia bundles this software with the phone. It cannot actually be deinstalled! It just sits there merrily and takes up my hard drive space.
Last but not least, I have written to Nokia already, but not received a response! This is a Nokia forum with Nokia employees following the posts. I would be very, very, very grateful if Nokia could give me a refund. However, with them not even acknowledging the various problems I somehow don't see that coming. I'll probably have to sell it with a massive loss on ebay.
Cheers,
Will
P.s.: I have all the same small issues as the other guys here - slider lock at the side not working etc. You are not alone... Has anyone complained about the music player? I have 16gb of music on the phone and scrolling is impossible! The Symbian OS is so obviously not built for a touch screen that it hurts. Of course they don't put much music on the phones in the Nokia store so people only find out when they get home...

hi ! the nokia n97 is a really an amazing device. It keeps up to the promise of live online 24 x 7. I discovered it and wanted to share. Still there are some unanswered questions and if any vetran could help would really appreciate.
i am an user from India. and have the n97 for about 3-4 weeks now. Practically I have been living online 24 x 7 as The list of unexpected issues that a nokia n97 offers seems unending, some of which i am narrating have made me scout on the web to try n search answers.Not that i will be able to action information you provide instantly. My new phone has gone for reparis(sic), so once its back can do that & will acknowledge your replies.
My Quests:
1. First things first! How to request for & get refunds for a Nokia Phone in India.
2. Is there a touch querty as an input method? like windows mobile ? Request Know How. I now seem to agree to the feedback on one of the blogs.. that nokia designers feel that the average size of user hands would be that of big people & fingers like a japaneese teen. The physical keyboard does not seem to offer any additional functions other than text input !
3. Predictive text where in the touch screen menu, the words dont get auto completed. This increases the number of taps/input strokes. Is the n97 intelligent & learn words from sms, contacts, emails. my blackberry does so. Request Know How & any options to edit custom dictionary. Auto Punctuation ? Am i expecting too much already ?
4. Single hand use of phone impractical using touch pad t9. Entering alphanumerics on the physical querty is a nightmare... Request Know how on tips & tricks.
5. Green tick yes or v button on top left of the text input screen. friendly again only for big handed people. Could this have been at bottom right. Is alternate screen for text input touch t9 available? Requested Know how.
6. Unnecessary taps additional taps alomost in all menus...for eg.. sending a biz card from n97 requires 5 taps... in the other mobile phone systems it can be done in 3 taps. Requested Knowhow for shortcuts.
7. Can In a nokia we get a view of the entire events as single thread.... No Provision for search display against keywords upon I can get call logs, messages - Here in Nokia, no search filters / advanced search and all searches results plotted to applications vs person/events. Requested Know How if it can be done like blackberry / windows mobile.
8. Copy & Paste across applications. eg. Select text from web page copy n paste on message application.... possible on Nokia...? Requested Know How
9. Call& Event Logs e.g Missed calls. If there are 5 missed calls the log will show the last called time only. In most other mobile systems Blackberry, windows each event is logged against a user. Requested know how on how this is handled in Nokia.
10. Lag in picture display upon call. Number displays first and after few seconds lag the pic pops up. Is this normal & acceptable ? Other windows / rim devices show it instantly.
11. When will Nokia enable usage of Native clients like google talk, yahoo like blackberry, iphone ? Any know how on possibility of release. Any equal alternatives suggested for n97. Tried Nimbuzz, Fring, Ebuddy. Miss the chat message notification icon on home screen, notification on the chat messaging icon, sound, breathing lights.
12. Is there any planning for better email client? Likely Release dates?
13. The Java App for GMAIL on blackberry shows an indicator on icon in addition to customised alert setting tone & breathing light for new messages. Retreiving Emails is consistent & auto on other devices. The Nokia Does not seem to auto refresh + No Notification. How is it handled on Nokia ?
14. Can user friendliness be something where we can do actions with a contact or on contacts screen single view... e.g see contact on google map, Help on contacts screen/n97 help, lookup contact on server, filter by category. new address, new group, view, edit, delete, activity log (incl sms, mms, email, calls), call, sms, mms, email, send as attachment, send as im, add a custom ring tone, add picture, options - sort by, separators, sync settings, actions, switch
applications, exit. We have seen it on inexpensive phones. is it possible to be done on Nokia?
SOME OF MY STILL UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS Post upgrade to ver 12. Did you also face similar bugs/issues?
15. Contacts inaccessible – “Memory Full Error”. No other applications were active at the time of the error. Just unable to reach any of my 3500 contacts through the contacts options & do anything.
16. Pbk2 error upon selecting contacts in the messaging application.
17. Audio Delay upon receiving a call. No Sound upon connection of incoming call. Especially if picked up too fast.
18. Shows as searching for network constantly many times a day. We have 2 n97s & observed that both n97 almost have similar timing of network loss. Whereas, our other devices like blackberry do not show any weak signal signs.
19. GPS Lock. Keeps searching for GPS locks constantly i.e Drops connection to GPS network frequently.
20. Unpredictive battery talk time, standby & required Charge time.
21. Voice inaudible at other end, when using loudspeaker & especially during calls from moving vehicle.
22. Camera:
a. Picture clarity issues. Secondary camera highly pixelated. Primary camera shows light flooding on pictures. Clarity Missing.
b. Erroneous Time stamp on images.
c.Lens Cover Started to show minor scratch pressure.
23. Ovi Suite recommends erroneous updates for E.g Maps 3
24. Text Input touch t9 screen freezes / Hangs, especially when entering special characters like period(.), comma(,), exclamation (!) etc
25. Selectively & at random contact Name not displayed on Caller ID (sometimes)
26. Selectively Message & Message delivery display number, instead of stored contact names.
27. Sync Issue, All contacts not synced always.
How to sync "categories" field as stored in outlook or how to map custom fields to Nokia.
28. Format Mass Memory error, Unable to format. Unable to delete specific files.
29. The auto lock... When attempted to unlock with querty out .. it still opens in portrait mode ?
30. SMS Logs Not updated. e.g any sms sent before storing a contact.... after storing or adding
contact the number does not get automatically updated to the name. It reflects the number still in the logs.
31. Picture caller... The face is half cut ..Looks weird on most images... as the number is not transparent. In landscape mode there is enough space on the screen to put up the answer or reject buttons and displaying the numbers.
32. Browser will close on its own & return to menu or home screen.
thanks in advance for your time to stop & read. Pls do send any information that you think will be useful to me for making the n97 do some work.
NEW additions:
(tested on another n97)
33. Predictive Text :
Usage for auto word completion only on physical keyboard, when the Dpad down key is used it throws up options but the way the scroll is designed you can see the full word and one makes mistakes.
34. another strange behaviour is on the text input... this was on an email i was trying to reply. the stylus touch will paste the last keyed in word !! we wonder why.
35. and while showing off the second n97 we have (again 3-4 weeks old) - we were asked how much did we pay for this second hand unit - 50% off .. apparently the comment as the surface has got scratched very badly.
i hope the info is good use to others who want to take the risk of buying this device

Is there a chance that Captivate will be bundled into the Creative Cloud Suite?

Is there a chance that Captivate will be bundled into the Creative Cloud Suite?

When I'm asking about this in some webinars, I get mostly two answers: that is another business unit (Captivate and Presenter), or those applications are not considered for 'creative' people. The last reason always makes me laughing but is typical of the way 'big' Adobe is looking down on 'small' Adobe.
Rod, Framemaker and RoboHelp are not in the Creative Cloud neither. Both have a bit limited, but very specialized user base. And really, Framemaker has features that InDesign (which is much more promoted by Adobe) has not yet. It does publish directly to different ebook formats, which is still a very cumbersome work flow in InDesign who is the 'flagship', and where defenders mostly tell that FM is EOL. RH has even more formats available as output. Maybe Captiv8r, respected RH expert, can offer more info. Technical Communication Suite is the only suite that remains for the moment, version 5 was released two weeks ago.
Another possible reason, which doesn't apply to Captivate: Presenter, RoboHelp, Framemaker are not available for Mac (Presenter Express is only a small part of Presenter).
It is also my opinion, that at least Captivate belongs in the CC and that it 'could' extend the user base, but I'm a very bad marketing person, other people do know better.

Open letter to Nokia about the original N95!

Hi there, hope this message gets to the high-level employees of the company.
Why on earth would you people in R&D develop a full fledged computer, the flagship of Nokia Nseries phones, that can fit in the palm of your motherloving hand, and only include 64mb of memory.
I understand that maybe the N95 life cycle might be coming to an end (or has it ended?), and so you corrected the first mistake by releasing the same N95(8gb) but this time, someone in R&D must of had an epiphany and made the right choice to include 128mb of RAM.
But what about us, the good ol' N95 people? We have a crippled device.
People might argue that we are the poor early adopters a.k.a the losers. But I refuse to declare so, as it is not the case. The same phone the N95(8gb) was released 2 holy years later, with the exact same specifications and functionality! Except for the built-in 8gb (we have the sandisk micro 8gb), and slightly bigger battery, oh and the screen.
Just look around these forum, and other forums and see how much memory related problem everybody is having. Searching on google for this phrase: Memory Full close applications try again returns a lot of results related to the n95.
Now I know a multi-billion company's got to make a living, and handing out free upgrades doesn't hurt their pocket, but they won't do it because, let's face it, it didn't become a multi-billion company relying on charity work, so considering this and the whole rant above, I wish to say this:
Can Nokia give the option for N95 owners to send over their N95 and get a memory upgrade for a fee (cost of upgrade plus S/H). I repeat yes NOT free, but a fee. I am willing to pay a price to get it upgraded (if at all possible). As I'm not willing to pay for the new 8gb or maybe the n96, since they are pretty much all similar, except for the memory issue.
Yes, that is all I have to say. Please someone consider it, *if technically possible*. And if ever considered, please put a reasonable price tag on it (not to be touchy, but I'm also not paying the same price of the N95 just to get a memory module upgraded).
Thanks for listening. And hope we arrive at a solution that is favorable to both the customer and company (which never does happen, but a man can dream no?)
PS: And just to say, my brother has the N95 8gb, so I played with it profusely, so if anyone wants to say or (pardon the language) **bleep** how the new n95{8gb) is radically superior than the original n95, you fan boys can please do so, but do it on another thread.

That memory is for storage.
The memory he is referring to is the SDRAM that you need for running programs and multi-tasking.
The N95-1 has 64mb of SDRAM which was problematic on earlier firmware versions. This issue was addressed in the v20 firmware by introducing demand paging which freed up more ram and improved performance all round.
The N95-2(8GB) and the N82 have 128mb of SD RAM which makes these phones perform better than the N95-1.

A solution to the S750 speaker system problem

Well my s750 died just like everybody elses. But after creative wanted me to pay 75% of my purchase price, I found a better solution. Nope, I am not fixing the unit like you guy's. I do not see the need to fix a poorly design system! I am not sure if creative or indigo/bash/blade audio is to be blamed. But if I had to pick, I would say "indigo/bash/blade audio". Years ago before blade audio became indigo, I had a chance to visit their location in ontario Canada. This was just when they stop making the blade audio car amps.
While I was there, I happened to see this long list of brand names they had started to make amp modules for. Names like Harman International, Klipsch and so on. Anyway I cast the blame on indigo for this reason: Some years ago I had purchased a set of "harman international" infinity IL series speakers. Like our creative s750, the infinity shares a bash powered subwoofer system. And just like the s750 the infinity subwoofer like to blow up too! In the case of the infinity, the power supply was the weak link. The amp module in the infinity at that time, was built just like the blade audio car amps before. Which in my opinion is a much better design than what is being used in the s750. I remember one of the sale guy at circuit city at the time saying, "I wish we would drop this model". He went on to tell me the failure on the powered units were very high. You know there is a problem when the mid level Creative Inspire T7700 7.1, out last the flagship s750. Now, whats my better solution you guy's want to know? Two words , Simplifi Digital! The 7075a 7.1 amplifier along with Definitive Technology Pro Sub1000 and the remaing surround speakers from my s750 system. Yes, it did cost me more to go this route. But what I now have is a much more reliable system. And a sound that the s750 can only dream about. My s750 died while I was listening to Dave Bruebeck quartet "take five" at mid volume. With my current setup, I can listen mid volume all day long with no hiccups.
For those who my have the cash to spend. I recommend looking at my direction!? Keep this in mind, make sure whatever powered subwoofer you choose, is adjustable up to 50hz. The creative surround speakers dont play very well below 20hz. Also make sure whatever powered sub you choose don't use a BASH amplifier. For those looking at the s750 as a purchase, good luck. Or go over to partsexpress.com and get the Dayton Part Number 300-670, surround speakers. Then get the simplifi digital 7075 7.1 amplifier and power subwoofer of your choice and make a better/best system. Sorry Creative Labs! This post is NOT intended to cast negativity. I use and like the products you offer. I just do not like the s750, and the reasons are all over this forum and elsewhere on the net. I currently own 3 audigy 2zs sound cards, three Inspire t7700 speaker system, three sound blasters modems and yes, one defective/dead s750 speaker system. If anything use this post as a positive to what Creative Labs could offer in the future. A system like I now have, sure would be nice with the Creative name all over it.

Frustrated with the lack of Support and Attention to the Thunderbolt

I was under the impression when I upgraded to the TB, that it was/is the "Flagship" for 4g Android phones (at least it was back in March). Unfortunately, that's not the case and I should of kept my Droid X a little longer.
Although the Droid X is not 4g, the device now has Gingerbread and seems to be getting a lot more attention from Verizon, then the TB..
I marked this down as lessons learned.

The DX is a great device even by todays standards. Anything that is as solid as the DX that has the latest OS is a keeper in my book. I to did the exact same thing and " upgraded " to the Thunderbolt but quickly regretted that choice. I got the TB the day it was available and figured I'd deal with some issues. I even went as far as Emailing HTC and calling VZW on a regular basis whenever I had an issue they might want to be made aware of but that got me no where. Then the update came out and that seem to add even more issues. So I threw in the towel and got the Droid Charge as a replacement for the Thunderbolt. I don't email HTC I have called VZW a couple times and that's it. Sure it's a Samsung and it might never get an OS update but for now it's a actual upgrade as apposed to the Thunderbolt.

How do I get alerts to remain in the center of the screen after unlocking my iPhone in iOS 7?

The whole point of alerts, according to Apple, is to let you know about important events by remaining in the center of the screen until you acknowledge them. So why, when my iPhone 4s is locked and I receive an alert, does absolutely nothing appear when I unlock my phone? I use OmniFocus2 for everything, but the app isn't useful to me without forcing me to acknowledge the alerts I've set up for my to-do's. I've messed with all the notification options (like removing from lock screen), but I simply cannot believe that the only way Apple would allow their alerts to work properly is by forcing me to keep my phone from auto-locking indefinitely.
Can anyone help?
Jackie

I just came from using a BlackBerry Z10 and just got a iphone 5S. I have to say that this is the most ridiculous issue i am having to deal with as well. I use a password for my lock screen and if im not constantly on my phone i will miss a text msg. theres nothing from the lock screen to show you of a missed text or etc and also i dont care that i can look at notifications pull down. that is useless for the common person who doesn't live on the phone. There's no led to help this issue another major negative for me and this issue as well. So pretty much if i dont check my phone periodically i will miss something for sure. Cant believe this phone is considered the flagship of phones, there are SIMPLE issues with iphones that many other company's have fixed YEARS ago. Seriously would a LED light really hurt that bad to put on?! Get a clue apple!
--sorry for the rant but i have been looking everywhere online and trying many issues to fix this with no luck.

When will Acrobat Professional XI save files to the new Adobe Workspaces?

Here is the dilemma and I can't believe Adobe has not addressed this...
The product Adobe Acrobat Professional XI saves to the cloud. But the location that it saves to is files.acrobat.com (Which you have to comb the Internet or forums to find this out by the way). When a user goes to Acrobat.com, Adobe tells them that we are now Adobe Workspaces with all the features, etc. and tells us to go there instead, but the FLAGSHIP PRODUCT -- ADOBE ACROBAT PRO XI saves to the old supposedly obsolete Acrobat.com - What am I missing here?
Is there a plan to start saving from Acrobat Professional XI to Adobe Workspaces?? What do we do when Adobe shuts down Acrobat.com???? Why is this not addressed anywhere??? What's the plan???

Hi WarithNiallah,
This behaviour is as designed.
Acrobat.com - Personal File Storage is a free service that is integrated with Adobe Acrobat XI software, which was first released in October of 2012. This service lets you store documents online and access them from computers and mobile devices.
Acrobat.com - Workspaces is the original (legacy) Acrobat.com service, offering a team workspace with up to 2GB of storage, an online word processor, and an online table tool. It can also be used to host shared PDF document reviews invoked through menu choices in Adobe Acrobat software. These services are available for free.

How I stopped the dreaded "Mooing" sound on my MacBook. (possible solution)

So I am probably not the last one on this forum to find the dreaded mooing sound on their brand new laptop!
Yes, I do love my Macbook and it's quite and upgrade from the 15" PowerBook that I came from,(better screen, faster),.. but the day I received the laptop, I had this "moo" sound start. Initially, I thought it was someone snoring in my apparentment, but I can hear it again and again everyday in a quite room..
So I tried and tried many things to make the moo sound stop..
* Slowing down the processor by running it as "Better battery life"
* Unpluggin the AC adapter and lowering the screen res.
All to no avail. As you can see with my computer, it will probably run a bit hotter since the 7200rpm drive is in there.
Noneoftheless, I went to Apple store and asked the genius bar in the flagship store in SF about it and they knew about the problem, but could not give me a definitive answer to fix it.
So, this is what I tried...
Opened up PhoneBooth (yes, the built-in) iChat program and started up the recording mode so it would trace every movement of me. Then the mooing almost stopped, if not stopped totally.
I am currently running on AC Adapter with power settings set to "Better Performance" and the mooing has almost stopped. (I say almost since it only moos 1 time every min)
Hope this may work until Apple releases some sort of fix to resolve this..
Please post your results here..
Cheers,
Wilson

I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
Thank you very much!
Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
-Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

The N900 preorder-ers thread

Hi,
I didn't see a thread for N900 preorderers, I'm guessing this is in the right section as I *think* it's classed as an NSeries. If it's not, can someone please move it to the relevant section?
Anyway, this thread is for people who have preordered the N900 and want to discuss it, ask questions about it etc.
I preordered mine yesterday (+10% discount with Quidco). I have an N97 but I'm getting rid of that as soon as I've determined whether or not the N900 is worth the premium.
So I have a couple of questions:
1. Does anyone have any idea when the N900 will ship from the Nokia store?
2. Will the phone be useable at all in vertical mode? I know it's an "internet tablet", but I do find vertical modes very useful for long lists, and for one handed texting.

Interesting, you wonder why (supposedly this close to release) Nokia hasn't actually given any dates.
The N97 UK firm launch date was 3 weeks (iirc) before its launch.. soooo.. if there's no firm date yet.. I recon it'll be at least 3 weeks.. which puts it into November.. Maybe it'll be sooner, but as someone pointed out.. this is not a flagship phone, the N97 (and the N97 mini) are the flagship phones.. so I don't imagine there'll be much of a song and dance.. It feels a bit more "viral" in its marketing strategy..
You can download the final Maemo6 SDK (runs nicely on ubuntu) and have a look around that. The platform is "open" in that it is, for the most part, built on open source products. Nokia's components aren't open, they've very closed. Integrating with them comes down to published API (in particular, DBUS) I'm really interested to know how the messaging component integrates as I'd like to implement a bluetooth service that requires access to inbound call and message information.
The platform is pretty solid, but I'm keen to see how well documented the new stuff is. I've been playing with QT 4.6 and it is such a shame Maemo 5 missed that boat.. I've already ported a few QT apps to the N810 and I'm having a go at porting the same apps to Symbian. That interests me the most, but I've been playing with Maemo for years now...

Is the T500 still the flagship?
