N81 8GB versus N91 4GB

Hello everyone.
Can you tell me if it will be a wise move to buy a N81 8GB after spending almost 2 years with N91 ? My only real problem with N91 is how slow it is sometimes loading songs or pictures etc.
Is N81 worth?
I see in the forum that there are problems with its memory etc? What do those who have one think? Would they buy it again?
I know it is a big difference from S60 to S40 but why not a 5610 with 4GB card?
Thanks for the help.

S40 is ok IF you don't mind loosing the ability to install new apps. to your device. Also if you are OK with not playing high quality videos.
N81 is an OK phone and is coming down in price nicely. If you were ok using the N91, the N81 should be an improvement.
The N96 is right around the corner, so you may want to wait until that comes out to decide if you get the N96. The N96 is supposed to have very good audio quality, and 16 GB plus the option of a memory card! for a total of 24 GB storage out of the box!.
640K Should be enough for everybody

N91 4GB and N91 8GB, Are they competing against iP...

Hi,
I'd just like to know, Is Nokia Competing agaisnt iPods??
There was an iPod 4gb version - pairs with N91 4GB but then an iPod 8Gb BlACK version came out, then a N91 8GB BLACK version also.
Is Nokia Competing agaisnt iPods or have they just updated the N91 4Gb with a Double size Hard drive?
What does everyone think?
Nokia N95
V 20.0.015
0546553

I would hope they compete!
Actually, so far as I'm concerned, any phone that plays MP3s beats an iPod hands down simply because I have to carry a phone and having one that plays MP3s means I don't have to also carry something else.
I used to carry lots of devices - phone, PDA, FM radio, MP3 player etc etc - and I had pockets like hamster cheeks. I'm totally sold on having one device that does an acceptable job of a bunch of things rather than having lots of separate devices that just do one thing, not matter how well.
Re the iPhone, I guess I'll wait to see what it actually offers when it comes out. The initial announcment was of a nice looking phone that would be 2 years out of date by the time it was released.Message Edited by patc on 09-Mar-2007

Nope, besides Nokia stopped production of N91/8GB. It is natural newer FW for N91 is abandoned. The last was 2.20.008 and it was released AGES ago-and the phone is still buggy. I gotta disagree the N91 8GB is still as buggy as N91. It has 3.10 and is very stable on my N91 8GB.

Hi everyone,
I have had my Nokia N81 8GB for over three months know and for the last three weeks I haven't been able to send text messages.
I get the follwoing error when I check the details on the error : - "Unable to send message: number of person sending to". If I click on detail I get the following error "General: Memory Full. Close some applications and try again."
What's really stupid is that I have 6 and a half gb free memory and also there is only one application running which is the music player (it cant be turned off of closed from the application list).
I sent it back to nokia and they flashed the phone to it's original settings. I restored the phone to it's original state and I still get the error message.
I have checked the message centre number with 02 and also I have got the latest software from Nokia rthrough the software updater.
ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING? I NEED HELP AS I HAVE UNLIMITED TEXT AND I CAN'T USE THEM!!
I have an o2 N81 8GB and am equally concerned about memory. I'm just trying to see how full it gets before I get to this situation.
memory in use: 16mb
9334 free memory
with messages at 533kb - I've got about 660 messages at the moment.
I've installed fring and opera to the memory card.
Was this one of the N81s that came with FIFA 2008? Scrubbing using *#7370# and then not installing the sis file will clear about 4gb by my reckoning.
If you've downloaded Nokia Maps 2, the sis file sits on the phone memory - i've not found how to remove it yet.
Don't forget to clear the cache after web browsing

Nokia N81 8gb Screen goes crazy

ok so i buaght my Nokia N81 like in january last year and ive been using it quiet regularly....
Until today... I slid the phones slider to reveal the keys to write a text message, when the screen went crazy with funky colours and such lines and random things on the screen. If i slide it up and down while its like this it changes its effects and stuff as if its something to do with the contacts of the slider and the screen. If i let the screen black out into powersaver it returns normal but if i slide it again to close the phone or open it back up it goes nuts again.
i tried leaving the battery out but no use.
LOTS OF HELP please ?
i was thinking a factory reset ??

Hi! I have the same problem as well! And this is the SECOND time this is happening! The first time I took it back to my SP, and they then replaced it with a brand new handset; that was 10 months after using my phone for the first time. Now, 8 months after receiving my brand new handset, I have the same problem again!
What was very strange to me, before it first happened, was that my slider became REALLY tight and difficult to manouevre, so I slid the screen up and down as it felt like there was something obstructing the slider, and out came a clear piece of sticky plastic film... I took no note of it, until the same thing happened to me about 2 weeks before my phone went wonky again.The funny thing is, my fiancé has the 2gb phone, and he seems to have no trouble at all with his handset, and he's now had his phone for more than a year (that's longer than I've had both of my handset before going crazy), so I'm thinking it must be a problem with the N81 8gb models. Now I need to take the phone back AGAIN, which I'm not very happy about... I don't want to have to take my phone back, or repair it, every 8 to 10 months... It's a waste of my time AND money.
Oh, and another thing... when they replaced my handset, I asked them what the problem was with my phone, and they said that they didn't know, but that they couldn't fix it! SERIOUSLY?! So now how exactly will I get to repair my phone if the Nokia technicians can't even find the problem NOR fix it?! I've basically spent ALL this money on a phone that only works for a few months until it's irrepairably broken... I don't think I'll be using another Nokia after this again...

As with any kind of product from any company, a new Nokia phone model may be put on sale anything from a couple of weeks to several months from the public and press launch.
There are also a number of factors outside of Nokia's control that have to be taken into account -
(1) Once launched and made available for sale, many operators and high-street retailers will only order new stock in accordance with their normal routines, ie: they might place orders with Nokia at certain intervals, or they might not order new stocks until sufficient numbers of their existing stocks have been sold.
(2) Once Nokia has orders for the new model, stocks have to be distributed to the operators/retailers, who then have to get the phoens into their own distribution chains to the various outlets.
(3) In many markets, operators dominate the mobile phone market, and in these cases you can bet your bottom dollar the phones will be repackaged in the operator's boxes with the operator's versions of the firmware before it hits the shop shelf.
(4) SIM-free phones are, in many markets, only available direct from the manufacturer or from independent retailers. Nokia does not decide how many phones will be SIM-free, ti depends on the individual market as to how dominant operators are.
(5) Sales dates will also vary from country to country

How to delete a corrupt software from your N81 8GB

Hello all.
I'm new to this and i was just wondering if anyone could help me.
I need to delete or remove a corrupt software on my N81 8GB.
The problem is that nothing is working and i don't want to format my mass memory.
Though if formatting is my only resort how can i back up my mass memory and keep my data safe?
Any other way to remove it?
Anything is appreciated
Thanks in advance
Infamousblood

Download Nokia PCSuite 7.1.18.0 and Nokia Software Updater 1.4.85 from Nokia site, then install NPCS first. Connect phone. Then NSU. After that make a memory backup, first on your memory card, next by Content copier from NPCS. After this Open NSU and follow commands.
But after backup memory you can try to soft reset by dialing *#7370# this reformat your phone and restor software as from factory, but with latest software, if you updated.

Do you mean in general or just on hte N81? because videos are restored on my N95 to when i reinstall FW
Generally. However SW upgrade on N82 allows to keep user data. Where your videos were stored? MM card?

N81 8GB Firmware V20.0.056 APAC

I would like to ask when will Nokia release the firmware for APAC region? I've seen the APAC firmware leaked in certain forum however NSU do not have the latest firmware for it yet. It still showing me the latest firmware as V11.0.045
This is what I found in some forum
http://blueshow.net/vbb/read.php?tid=496681&fpage=1&toread=&page=1
APAC Firmware for N81 8GB V20.0.056
I am really dissapointed with the efficiency of Nokia and I have been a Nokia User since year 2001 (Nokia 3310) and I have bought more than 20 different model. I hope Nokia should take my request into consideration and release it quickly for the APAC region as EURO had their firmware upgraded already. My phone product code is 0554833.

Unable to install Ovi Maps 3.1 on N81 8gb

One of my older phones i've recently upgraded it to the latest firmware v11.0.045 RM-179. I've been trying to install the latest ovi maps onto the phone but keep getting the error insufficient disk space. So far I've removed most of the installed demos off the c-drive that i know won't be used, but i've only managed to get upto 8mb free from a whopping 25mb c-drive!!
There isn't a c-drive cleanup program like we have on the N97 either. I've installed DrJukka to see what's on the z-drive but i've no idea what to clean up. I've removed all cache and privacy stuff from internet too.
Anyone out there have any positive ideas on how i can free up some more disk space?
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to get the free navigation working on my N81 8GB. I have tried multiple times to format and load nokia maps which loads maps 3.1 on the mobile phone. I am doing this using Map updater and map loader. Whenever I start a navigation the phone needs to go online to the shop and then takes me to the page to purchase a 1 month or 1 year subscription.
When the navigation is free then why pay.
I purchased a bluetooth gps device to connect to my phone so that I could use the free navigation but cannot use it.
Can I get the ovi maps 3.3 sis for mobile by email. I have been trying to get the free navigation for almost 2 months after purchase of the phone.

N81 8GB can there be another memory card working w...

....................................................i wanna know becuz i wanna buy a n81 8GB and thinking of putting another memory card? Is the 8GB hard drive or a memory card. And is there any Wi-Fi?And is the screen bigger than N72? And one of my friends is saying that there is a problem with the buttons(the numbers) like they are messed up and when he puts it in his pocket the button get pressed.
Nokia N72

the 8gig is internal memory (hard drive) and you don't have a slot for another memory card...only the new n96 has that accessibilty and it has 16 gig internal hard drive...the screen is quite big...and the keys are not a problem 4 me....

N-Gage on Nokia N81-8gb.

Hi,
I have got an original N81-8gb (RM-179) the one that came with a demo version of the n-gage application before its first release. (Or pre version 1 of the n-gage 2 if you see what I mean). I have had no problems with it (or the device) until I came to update the n-gage client to the latest version. Unfortunately the client fails to install (regardless of how I get the installer on the device) with an error about it being a"built-in component" which I suppose it was when i first had the device, but I was able to install the first full release version.
I'm running the latest firmware 21.0.10 (Or something like that, its reported as being up to date with the Software Updater) and Have tried uninstalled everything and even reset the phone to factory defaults all to no avail. As a side note I also cannot even uninstall the n-gage application as it doesn't appear in the AppManager and pressing the 'c' key on the icon to delete also fails.
Does anyone have any ideas as the customer care email address is completely useless as they don't seem to bother reading your email and only tell you to...
1) Install the latest firmware (I already am)
2) Install the n-gage app (I can't thats the problem)
3) Reflash your n95 (I don't own one)
4) Goto 1.
I just hope that someone else has had this problem and can help. Thanks in advance.
- Skavenger.

Do a hard reset, and then try again to install the n gage application into your phone.
Hard reset (the three key code/reset). Turn off the phone. Press and hold three keys together, the green/talk key, the * key and the number '3'.Then, turn on the phone and don't let the three keys before you see the nokia hands logo/nokia boot up screen.Warning!You will lose ALL your phone's data/files!

Any comments for N81 8GB?

Hi,
May I know if anyone have used N81 8GB? How is it? I managed to have a look at the phone, the lower part of the front panel seemed rubber and sponge like...look fragile. The keypad also got 1 layer of rubber stuff...not those solid stuff...
The functions seem attractive. Any comments?

i have it, and tbh i dont find owt wrong with it, keep trying 2 open the 2nd slide (as i had the n95 8gb) then i remember it cant lol, but it all seems ok really,think the music buttons can get annoyin cause u dnt ave 2 add a lot of pressure to activate it so unless its locked music player can turn on
