Is there a sliding trouble in Nokia C6 phone?

Now i have a nokia 5800xm phone. I like buy a nokia C6 phone (because of C6 has best stylish homescreen, customize widgets, 5pxl camera & good sound quality ect....) But somebody says slide phone face hardware problem. (They mean, between phone keypad and display connectivity cable). Please explain me. Thank you.

I don't know if the C6 itself has a problem but in general Nokia slide phones are quite robust. If it's built anything like the 5200 then you have nothing to worry about for years. Probably even until you have to replace the handset.
My 5200 is over 5 years old now and the cable still hasn't been damaged. it only got disconnected on the screen side once(after 4 years of use) and it was very easy to fix because I had the right tools.
Hopefully other C6 owners can comment and help you decide. I don't think you have anything to worry about though. Just make sure that if you drop the phone it is closed
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

    Hi all,
    I'm having some trouble with Nokia Music on my windows XP computer.
    I looked trough all the other threats but nothing looks the same.
    Yesterday everything worked fine but after a reboot things got wrong. When I trie to start the app it sais there was an error in the app.
    When I trie to reinstall, also removed the files in documents and settings: ...
    The error happens even when I trie to uninstall or install.
    What can I do about it except reinstall the whole pc?
    kind regards,
    J

    Ok. I read just about everything on in this discussion group and Apple notes.
    I then declared all out war on this this evening. I won.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Assumption - you have Norton AV or Norton System Works installed. I suppose it will work if you have NIS installed.
    2. Removed ALL my anti-spyware programs (i.e. Spybot 1.3 and Microsoft's Anti-Spyware).
    3. Rebooted.
    4. Opened up Norton AV settings in Norton System Works and selected Internet Worm Protection.
    5. Under Applications - Added iTunes and iTunes Helper. Set operation to PERMIT ALL.
    6. Under "General Rules", I added a new rule named "iTunes".
    7. Under the "Communications Tab", I added a rule to allow UDP traffic to both local and remote ports 5353.
    8. Rebooted.
    9. This time, when the system started, I got a message indicating that "application iTunes is trying to access the internet." Clicked on "Remember and allowed the operation.
    At this point, things started working.
    The removal of the Anti-spyware programs MAY or MAY NOT be necessary. I will add them back in to see if they make any difference or not.
    Now - Apple, my suggestion to you is to PUBLISH the ports and protocols and network targets. I was only able to gleam the ports used because Sygate indicated that iTunes was using UDP port 5353 to communicate.
    Anyway, for those of you with this problem and are running ANY of the programs mentioned here, try my recommended course of action.
    Charles
    P.S. Now, I need to figure out what causes the occassional skip/stutter. But, my iTunes is working.

  • Is there a list somewhere of Nokia phones that the...

    Why I am asking this question is my Nokia 6600 fold went faulty (see note below about this) and has been replaced by O2 with a Nokia 6700 slide. Now I don't like slide phones so I bought a 7020 fold on eBay.
    What I am looking for is an adapter for these phones (each have 2.5 mm AV connector) that will allow me to connect my noise cancelling headphone's 3.5 mm jack to (I was able to do this on the adapter that came with my 6600 fold phone).
    I googled and found that one option may be the Nokia AD-44 but I am not sure it will work with either the Nokia 6700 slide or 7020 fold.
    So my question, is there a list somewhere of Nokia phones that the AD-44 adapter will work with?
    Note: the faulty Nokia 6600 fold phone was a replacement for the original Nokia 6600 fold phone and both have had the well documented 'm, n, o' problem when sending a message that locked the phone and all that could be done was to power off!

    Hi there,
    I managed to find an old list of compatibility with HS-44 / AD-44 but nothing for the adaptor on it's own.
    Nokia 3600 Slide
    Nokia 3710 Fold
    Nokia 3720 Classic
    Nokia 5610 XpressMusic
    Nokia 5700 XpressMusic
    Nokia 6110 Navigator
    Nokia 6120 Classic
    Nokia 6210 Navigator
    Nokia 6212
    Nokia 6220 Classic
    Nokia 6290
    Nokia 6700 Slide
    Nokia 6730 Classic
    Nokia 7610 Supernova
    Nokia E66
    Nokia E71
    Nokia E90
    I can't promise this is ALL th ehandsets though, since the list is quite old. Also I am almost certain that this adaptor converts Nokia 2.5mm to Nokia 3.5mm, Nokia connectors are different to a standard headphone as there is an additional connection for voice.
    If using non -Nokia headphones you may need a further adaptor.
    Hope this helps a little?

  • Is there any alternative battery for Nokia X2-00?

    Hi there, I was just wonderin'... is there any alternative battery for Nokia X2? coz BL-C4 battery is a li'l bit short for its lifespan. It could only take a few hours to play some music (through headset/loudspeaker)
    please help, thanks in advance...

    Hi Hanumantji,
    Can you provide us your phone model? One possible reason why the phone hangs is that there is not enough memory available to carry out phone functions. You can move your data files from phone to memory card (provided that your phone supports Memory Card). If still the same, you can try to restore the phone to its factory settings as indicated on your manual. 

  • Trouble with Nokia 6680 and iSync

    I have a Nokia 6680 and an iMac. Recently I wanted to clean up my contact list but I'm having problems in this.
    Contacts created in the phone get transfered to my computer with iSync easy, but I can't transfer all my contacts created in my iMac to the Nokia 6680.
    It used to work sincronizing a hundred contacts, but now I can't do it with 40 or 50. It's supposed to work all the ways but it doesn't.
    What should I do? Is there any kind of limitation with my phone or iSync?

    Hi trav!
    We're having the exact same problem. If you search this forum (and others), you'll find more threads regarding this issue..

    http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?s=61e4114bdf2a110921bfd4bc2af40862&threadid=64240
    It seems to be impossible to get in touch with Nokia developers. They are probably on vacation..
    We've struggled with this for about 2 weeks now,and the most likely reason is:
    1. It's a bug
    2. The locator url has changed since the phone has two cameras.

  • My Own Concept Idea - Nokia Gorilla Phone.

    I figure a range rather than just limiting myself such as the Navigator Series, the E series, the N series, but this could be the G range or Gorilla Range. anyway i'd like to see this based on Symbian 60
     OK might as well warn you,i'm drunk now, i was drunk when i wrote it too, so i've not spell checked it or anything and to be honest not going to either until i wake up so here goes, if nokia can't take on iphone because they don't understand what 'bling' is yet. so anyway check out my concept phone idea.
     Nokia's Gorrila Phone
    Specs for: Nokia Survival Range - The Gorrila Phone
    This is all new, This is for the mountain climber, the skier the extreme sports, the swimming
    coach, anyone who works in a dusty or dirty enviorment, this is for the construction worker, the
    security gaurd, the police, this is for everyone who likes to venture out past their back doors
    and into the wild extreme world we live in, scared of going into a pub in the fear of dropping it or
    falling out, the Gorilla Phone can handle it.
    We first have to do a special technique to this phone to get it to be what people will need
    and want.
    *Waterproof
    *Sturdy Gel / rubber type case to protect it from drops
    *GPS
    *WIFI
    *Accelerometer
    *Compass
    *Barometer*
    *Signal Amplifier*/Better internal antenna design
    *All the frequencies we can fit on
    *Small Camera, nothing fancy
    *8/16 Gig of Memory for user content files and games images / videos
    *100+ meg of ram
    *OLED 320*200, enough to see a map on would be ok, a little larger than the Nokia 6110
    *Bluetooth *heart rate device
    *Docking Station (maybe compatable for future releases?)
    Able to squeeze as much power out of it as possible with say a 1amp/h battery
    All radio devices off mode except anything you select on the list to help conserver
    battery life or survival mode.
    AND
    Docking Station which connects at the bottom of the phone and then clips onto the phone, there
    will be 5 (or more) little metal pins that protrude out of the plastic phone which is slightly hidden out
    of the view due to the gel like case..
     [Nokia's]
     [Gorilla]
     [_Phone_]
    {  I I I  }
      [     ] (this is the docking station which just clips in and accesses the ports from the PC)
        DPV
    So basically once you cliped it on the 5 little pins (as soldered blobs protude gold coated
    to prevent wearing away
    (Sea water might be an issue, might stick a warning in saying not suitable for sea water due to errorison
    which will be down to you other than that the phone should work fine.... maybe a cost underwarrents to
    just replace those pins meaning a component could be designed to simply pull out with realitive ease making
    it cost efficient to both the user and nokia...)
    Other than being able to make actual phone calls maybe if that went under a thin peace of plastic that can be
    easily heard so that the case does not get in front of sound quality. and likewise near the bottom or some sort
    of attachment for a waterproof speaker. The electronics with the exception of the connectivity modual to make it
    easy to exchange the rusted component pop it out and replace)
    Battery / Sim Card.
    Pull off the battery case, some kind of switch to lock the battery cover into place to prevent it coming out
    even if you try yourself, the inner side  of the phone should have a waterproof gasket to prevent any kind
    of water coming through under the battery.
    Outside of the phone we appear to have 0 inputs but infact we actually have it with this simple docking
    station, the docking station is connected to the PC via usb so this way your phone simply clips on
    no fuss no looking around for a spare usb port, or plugging in the cable, the docking station makes it much
    more easier.
    ---- +
    ---- Data
    ---- Data
    ---- Whatever.
    The data can then be grabbed off the phone on the computer, the docking station, while docked it will charge
    the phone, it will supply USB 2.0 and transfer files between phone and computer, optional for later advances
    could be given on the docking station also USB/WIFI file transfer if not using the docking station
    Gorrila Phone Charge In(0) Such as, External Chager
    USB Out (which connects to PC)
    TV out (TV OUT)
    Headphone out (unplug the computer's USB)
    - etc
    Virtual Drive or Real Drive via Micro SD.
    Virtual would be for example this gorilla phone were the 8 gig internal is the memory card on E:\
    once connected to the docking station, you then have the unquie ability to put in an 8 gig memory
    SD card into the dockingstation and backup or use (from windows explorer) and be able to
    copy either from internal memory or external memory of a memory card you've inserterd, in terms
    this is a way of cloning your memory card as a backup, this could all be done with the docking station
    and a simple button of "Backup Memory Content" simply have a little Green LED and Red Led come up when
    you press copy, Green for writing/Reading, Red for Error, or maybe Orange for finished succesfully...
    you could then back up your phone to another memory card anywhere anytime... how useful's that! or even
    have the ability to use that dockingstation's memory with the mobile device itself and as long as it's connected
    you can even install programs on it.... 2 Drives, the posibilites are endless.
    So all the outputs we're all so a custom all now live on the docking station, so now what, the protection
    of the phone comes first, all the circuits have to be covered in a gel/rubber/glue expoy type substance
    and injected protecting the delecate components, it has to be essential to protect ribbin cables
    and other little pins and cables that have to stay firmly in place, also doing this will increase
    the circuity's protection against g-force and shock.. once all the gaps have been filled and all made
    sure to be very very watertight against dust and all else that is thrown at it...
    Now then the Gorrila Phone's key aspects
    *Survival of any keen trecker or explorer will need and want.
    *Tough for the toughest jobs, Construction Worker, Police, Law Enforcement, Road Workers.
    *can be dropped from X amount of feet (based on calculations done)
    *Survies water and dirt
    *Can be submerged underwater up to 30 Feet for 30 minutes or so? etc, give it an IP rating of IP-6
    Now then why does an explorer or hiker need this?..
    *Electronic compass will always point you north, combine this with GPS and you'll have
    yourself a way of locating your position and which direction you're pointing.
    *Barometer, small symbian application to interpret the pressure in milli bars, you could
    then have your phone warn you if the pressure's increase (high pressure, good conditions) or
    if the pressure starts to drop rapidly which could indicate bad weather (storms etc)
    *Altimeter could be used, however the GPS is far more precise, maybe something in the future could be done, this would
    be uptodate information, other phones could even send into a server, how much processing power and number crunching would
    take place if every mobile phone could send a FREE SMS to a server every few hours with your GPS location
    and altitude, world wide, i'm sure we'd be able to improve weather predicting with so much data coming in
    from the people who say yes to submitting data to a weather server, providing the altmeter is calibrated.
    GPS data, this phone will go all out to get a signal, then you have a series of options like sms my current
    location to another phone or a request for help including how high up (altimeter/gps) his/hers cords from
    the GPS
    with the OPTIONAL bluetooth heartrate monitor.
    *the phone could connect to a bluetooth heartrate monitor and then it displays the BPS of the indvididual
    and a small sensor to measure temprature from the person as well.
    *Maybe a Resuce Mode
    *Safety mode / tacker
    If the person who's in danger is able to get a signal even from 2g or the phone
    will automatically try if it's in rescue mode, in rescue mode it could get your body
    temprature, BPS, get your GPS location and direction heading from compass, even the barometer
    so it could report things like weather info to help, for example is it safe to use a helicopter?
    Why yes, the last 8 sms text messages the barometer has been increasing, but could easily be looked
    up anyway.
    If the person collapses, the SMS messages until someone arrives will be the only info, since we
    are able to monitor heart rate and location, the emergency services will arrive.
    Now if the heart beat drops below X BPS, it could automatically SMS the wife, brother, girlfriend
    or even multiple people, reporting back the person could be in a lot of danger, there would be nothing
    like this on the planet.
    If not in danger, there will be software to monitor vital conditions, tempraterue of you, it can
    also see where you've been by tracking your data and storing it automatically on memory, all data
    stored could be used as a 'black box' once recovered, in other uses..
    In other uses, it could detect that your heart beat has just shot up from 80 up to 120 and higher
    it was an instant change, this could then SMS the parent, or the phone could make a high pitched alarm
    sound either as to prevent an attacker and drawing attention to you or the high pitched alarm could be
    an alert to others to say something is wrong with you and seek help, it could even detect low heart beats
    and also do a similar warning of sms or both.
    the Gorrila Nokia Phone can survive up to say -30c because it's well insulated and well protected
    from the outside elements if there's a way of making a watertight seal with a slide, use that
    if not the keypad can be put below as traditional phones go for example the new nokia 2960 style.
    internally protected by epxoy too, So for a good rough phone that withstands abuse and yet be
    absolutely packed tight of features nobody could say no.....
    With the broadsprectrum of frequencies the phone has to offer, 2G, 3G 3.5G etc etc you stand more
    chance of getting a signal with the better antenna or included signal amplifier/booster to pickup
    that signal that might just save your life and then your phone becomes your only chance of hope....
    Without the gorrila docking station, you wont be able to charge the phone without one although
    you could use bluetooth/wifi in the short term for data transfer...
    *Accelerometer / Barometer/ GPS...
    Each one could be used for this but if all 3 were combined an accurate result would be optained
    and better to accurately determine to warn or not, for example if the heart beat drops or increases
    significantly an automatic SMS text message can be delivered to friends and family instantly before
    the person even realizes themselves...
    The person might be climbing the side of a hill and all of a sudden he trips and ends up sliding down
    the hill, the Gorilla Phone might be a few feet away now even outside the range of the bluetooth heart
    /temp monitor, ok, the phone is montioring the altitude via either altimeter or GPS or both, the acceleromter
    detected the sudden movement and jerk and strong G-Force at the very millisecond he falls.
    the alitmeter suddenly declines in only a couple of seconds, and now the heart rate monitor is out of range
    based on that data.....
    The person has just fell 3ft from X,Y GPS cords, and the phone landed X,Y GPS cords, it then gets as much
    data as possible such as altitude, temprature from phone (or heart rate monitor) and if the phone is not picked
    up within 10 seconds, the Nokia Gorilla Phone kicks into action sending out an SMS with your location on it can send up
    to 10 people or so of importance along with contact info directly to you when it happens.
    by now, the SMS message will provide emergency services precisely to the location of
    where the person has fallen or rough position, as the person may lay 3 or more meter away from where
    the phone had landed, this could very easily save a persons life, imagine if this happening at night
    in a wooded area, if the phone is simply dropped most people would pick it up within 10 seconds, even then
    a drop from roughly were you're holding the phone to where your feet are would indicate a dropped phone......
    The heart rate monitor could sit on you as every day normal life and if you have a heart attack, your
    phone will know (providing you're linked via bluetooth 10/100m range?) there's a serious medical problem
    and again could easily get the message out to save your life, even possibly having an option where the phone
    smses AND turns on the loud speaker so you can talk to emergency services, maybe a simple voice to speech or
    if you can't speech and can't move, there's not going to be that much of conversation but could be added.
    SMS Return: Location: GPS Cords X,Y; Altitude: 844m; HeartRate: 50; Pressure: ?milibars
    time spent getting to you to save your life,
    rather than time spent trying to find out where you are.
    Another option would be to text the phone and then get a text message back automatically
    providing access was granted on the phone.
    The Ultimate Survival Tool... Nokia's Gorrial Range of phones.
    They can save your life, they're tough take them anywhere you want, show it smashed down
    hard onto the table with an iphone (lookalike) that just smashes into pieces with the phone
    saying pick me up (since it will detect the smash as a drop of phone onto say concrete)
    if it detects a fall, if it does not get pickedup within 10 seconds, people are alterted
    to this fall or collapse,
    Difference in this case between fall and collapse is simple, what's your heart rate at if
    there's a problem there, it does not presume it was dropped and that you're in serious medical trouble
    take it swimming with you in the swimming pool, get your GPS cords and display them on a map
    geotag photos, get info about the weather, using the barometer high and low bands if a low pressure
    wave comes in and the barometer is dropping 998, 983 over a period of time will indicate what's likely
    to happen, if it increases better weather, if it decreases the weather coming in is bad, the phone
    will then direct you to start looking for shelter or find a nice lookout sunshine on the way...
    So all is well? the bluetooth monitor could even be attached to you sleeping so if your body
    temp and heart rate drop badly, it looks like you're freezing to death, the phone will then alarm
    a danger sound to try and wake the person sleeping up as well as contacting friends and family
    who will ring you, or give the message out with the GPS info out to the emergency services.
    The nokia gorilla's not just another phone, it's your buddy who looks out for you and will follow you
    into any conditions you go into, you work on the construction site, you wear a hard hat for protection
    when you see a nice new iphone (lookalike) all pretty has to wear a yellow hat, what a disgrace... while
    the Gorllia slilently laughs...
    The toughman phone with the ultimate survival tools, the Nokia Gorilla Phone, kicked, sat on, used
    to prop up your monitor, very tough and very strong handles whatever is thrown at it... but with GPS
    Barometer, WIFI, Compass you'll have everything you'll ever need handle what mother nature can throw
    at you..
    Maybe a couple of LED's to make the casing light up at night incase you drop it, which a sensor can detect
    if it's dark or not after it's been dropped (fed by data by the accelerometer, drop found, any light? no switch on lights)
    Oh yes and relax by playing with the internet browser over wifi, enjoy the better reception you get from better
    antenna or boosed up (amplified) radio signal.. enjoy the fact you can depend on this phone, it's your buddy
    not just a phone.
    So anyway guys what you think?

     The Nokia 3720 classic is a IP54 level water,
    Not even close to good enough, LCD screen will crack, water will go in through the jack/charger ports..
    The phone i describe has no external ports just 4-5 little pins which can't let water in or out of the device, the docking station will connect via these 4 - 5 pins for data transfer and recharging...., IPX8 standard, all the electronics are epxoyed with a glue to stop real bad shocks from drops and bangs, along with a silicon case and all the other preventative meausres means this little phone is going to outlive you.
    in combination with heart rate external bluetooth connection, really what more could you want... only the Sonim comes close in terms of perfection but if it managed to pack all of above, then it would be simply wow... I don't think there's enough people who work for nokia who actually go camping, backpacking, hiking, i'm pretty sure that if i told them one day
    on a holiday you might drop your phone into the swimming pool, ok fine it's a mistake but damn, there goes your $$$$ N7 or N900 or even a HTC or Iphone.... not this, you'd yell to the first person you see in the pool, hey mate can i have my phone back, don't worry about the water damage, i'll get it back on insurance after a small lie stopping the person from running off with it (in fear of the now useless mobile phoned killed by water, making an attempt to steal be useless) 
    The person gets their phone back and carries on about his day, it drops out of your pocket, how many times you ran over it because you happened to leave it behind the back tire. oh no i ran over my phone, the tough casing and the epoxy keeping it nice and safe, except for superficial damage cosmetic, the screen and phone should be working still able to make that call or send out GPS info....
    Sorry nothing comes close by any company (except Sonim) in terms of what they can do... maybe even a portable charger turn it to recharge like on LED dynamos. nah maybe not.

    Have you checked the Nokia map application is compatible with external an GPS? That's only around £50 for a 3 year subscription to turn-by-turn, which is actually not too bad a deal compared with TomTom and Route66.
    Alternatively, the two best know products are TomTom and Route66. If you're planning to use them in the UK only, then I believe (I've never tried it) that TomTom is a better product.
    If you're planning to use the GPS in Europe, then (IMO) you have to go with Route66 rather than TomTom as TomTom's European bundle only includes City-to-City directions. To my mind, that's worse than useless: it helps you on the easy bits (the motorways) then gives up the minute you actually need it, namely in towns.
    I have the Route66 Europe bundle and it has full coverage for the countries it includes.
    Route66 works very well on my N80 and was easy to install. There are quite a few posts on here from people who've had trouble getting TomTom up and running, but once it's working I believe it does a good job.
    I ordered Route66 direct from www.66.com which seemed to have the best deal at the time.Message Edited by patc on 28-Jun-200704:08 PM

  • My nano SIM works in my Nokia mobile phone but "No SIM" when in my iPad mini

    I've been around the support loop a few times with varying levels of success, here is my story.
    Basically I expect to only occasionally require mobile data services so would like to move my nano SIM from my Nokia mobile phone to the iPad mini as and when required. I have a 500Mb data allowance on my current contract with Vodafone UK which I never use but would like to access with my iPad mini.
    The first time I tried it worked! I never tried to surf using it but it registered with Vodafone UK OK and had a good signal level. The second time “No SIM” or “SIM not installed” popup at bootup.
    Now irrespective of contracts, tariffs, data plan etc I expect the iPad mini to recognise there as being a SIM present every time and never give “No SIM” except of course when there isn’t one physically in the thing.
    Playing along to support and forum suggestions I’ve done a couple of device resets (software reinstalls) and various setting resets. But still “No SIM”.
    I’ve also spoken with Vodafone UK and am investigating whether this is in fact some restriction where they’ve restricted the technology so SIM swapping is not allowed. My Nokia E51 is not locked as have had it years.
    I just cannot get past the “No SIM” message though!

    Do have the details as to why that is?
    The single time it recognised the nano SIM and showed as being connected to Vodafone UK I tried to ring it to see what would happen, it just rang out until voicemail picked up but nothing happened on the iPad mini whatsoever.

  • Nokia Pirated Phones

    I contacted Nokia early this year with an idea that since most countries had more than one network, it should consider a dual sim-card phone model. The response was negative. I was at the time using a Chinese nameless dual sim card phone with very elementary software and poor functionality. That phone was stolen a week ago and I was surprised to find a dual sim-card Nokia N95 phone. Touch screen, T-flash, MT 6225 Modem but, wait, it is not a NOKIA it is a NOKLA (with L in small letter). The manual is atrocious. The descriptions of the functions haphazard, the English is terrible; the manual is a disaster.
    However, the phone itself passes very well for a Nokia for a first time user of Nokia. The functionality is better than the previous nameless (communication – it was called). It has a touch screen, powerful audio facilities – with the output serving those around the user much better than the user him/herself (it has three speakers behind the phone against one next to the user’s ear), charges using a USB port in power, car and computer, comes with two batteries and basic headphones. Its modem is not supported, and the computer cannot easily identify the manufacturer (the previous nameless was using Phillips technology).
    In all, Nokia has concentrated on bringing a number of previously high end phone facilities to the basic phone. Cameras to as low as 6230 series, radio, internet surfing (with the help of service providers) and has thus afforded people who live on as little as 20 dollars a day to own a modern phone. While, a number of USD 2,000 a month earners are looking for better phones (black berry level) which Nokia has provided in the N series and above; there are several managers (sales, technical and executives) who do not want to carry two, three or four hand sets at a time. In some of these countries, networks are confined to towns and very small regions or highways. One town has network A and the next network B and so on.
    The Chinese are going to continuously erode the market in this customer segment. The nameless cost me USD 350 a year ago and this “N95” as they refer to it in their manual, cost me USD 270. With better functionality and reduced prices this is a market in which the Chinese are doing far much better Nokia. However, the technology is not supported, there is no continuity – if I lose this particular handset, the next Chinese I get could be far better but I cannot tell some one to buy the same handset for me the next time S/he is in China. They will have moved on!!!
    Nokia has mastered the lower end market and serves different interests in the developed countries (market), but it the developing countries, ironically with their low per capital incomes who are buying phones in all shapes and sizes. The more advanced the better. In these mass-product markets where copyright laws are simply impossible to enforce and customers are yearning for better but cheaper, Nokia may have to re-think its strategy along Toyota rather than get stuck in the paradigm of GM.

    In any event, they are using Nokia's image to promote their own products, thus making money out of the situation and bringing the real Nokia's name into disrepute in the process. In most countries this is illegal and called "trademark infringement". China doesn't care about that and allows its criminals to operate with impunity.
    Rip-off artists in China can operate without repercussions, true. Is the situation any better in India? I'm asking because today's (11 Mar 2010) Times of India (a national newspaper, BTW), in the edition sold in Goa, carries an ad "naaptol hot deals for readers of the times of india", for an "i5800 ExpressMusic Phone". The image is blurred, but as far as I can make out, on the front of the phone, it says "XpressMusic", which is a Nokia registered trademark -right?
    There's no Nokia or similar logo visible... though it is so eerily identical to the real thing that I wonder if these people grabbed a photo of an actual N5800 and digitally erased the Nokia brand name... and are actually selling a far worse-looking phone.
    The online ad is at  if you care to take a look. The tech specs are nowhere near the real 5800XM, (making the features-for-cash-paid ratio swing very much in favor of the 5800) but it's the total rip-off of the design, look, feel, and apparently even the UI, which is really annoying. If the Chinese want to compete, they should be able to do so with their own brand names and their own designs, instead of cloning Nokia phone designs.
    After a lot of Googling and on-Nokia-site searches, I was unable to find any page that let me report this probable IP infringement, which I found surprising. Doesn't Nokia care about its IP being infringed by rip-offs like this being sold in a HUGE market like India? Anyway, I'm venting my ire by making this post :-) If Nokia cares about defending its trademarks and IP against rip-offs in a huge market like India... they should jump into action!
    Hmm... some more:
    Looks like the Nokia 5800 is a very popular phone! :-P
