Need a RELIABLE new phone.. N80 /N80i / N81 /N81 8...
Hi all,
I'm looking for a new SLIDE phone. Reliability/Bug wise, which is the better choice? N80 /N80i / N81 /N81 8gb?
Any other thoughts/opions that may sway me one way or another ?
eg the LCD display... N81 has a smaller yet more colours available in its LCD display (according to online specs.) Having not seen any of these phones 'in the flesh'... A big issue?
OS/Firmware... Are certain OS'es (symbian etc) better than others? are firmware updates easily obtainable and end user installable?

David {removed per forum guidelines}: need help regarding new phone
Hi everybody,
I am David {removed per forum guidelines}.I want to buy a new phone having latest features of business applications.There are many brands in the market. So I am confused .Will you guys please help me regarding this?
Thanking you.David,
I have two smartphones for you to compare. Both are safe to use as a business tool. They are both very popular smartphones which is why they are my first suggestions to you.
Samsung - Galaxy S III 4G with 16GB Memory Mobile Phone - Marble White (T-Mobile)
Model: Samsung T999 Galaxy S III 16GB White | SKU: 5715328
Stay in contact on the go with this Samsung Galaxy S III mobile phone that features 4G speed for fast data transfer. The 8.0MP digital camera lets you capture crisp, clear photos. Requires a minimum $10/month Web access fee with all Classic voice plans. Early termination fees may apply.
4.8 Read reviews (5)
Sale: $699.99
The Samsung Galaxy S III is one of the newest Android phones and it's made a huge bang in the mobile phone market. Please note that the price with a contract is actually around $179 for this exact model. The prices are dramatically decreased when purchased with a 2-year service agreement.
The other phone I reccomend is the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 will be unveiled tomorrow shortly after 10:30 AM PST and I cannot discuss the details of this phone until they are official. I do know that iOS is extremely secure, and there are many features that make this phone great for business and also leisure. One thing to consider is the huge difference between Android OS and iOS.
I hope this has given you something to think about. I'm off to bed now, but I will be back tomorrow to provide you details on the iPhone 5.

I heard about all the problems with the new iOs 7 update but also heard Apple would force me to do it. I tried to update but didn't have enough space. Had to delete ALOT of my apps and still not enough space. Phone was working perfectly fine and message pops up that "I will not have any service until I restore to iTunes. I plug into laptop to restore and it forces me to update to iOs7. Takes 3 hours. It updates but phone doesn't restore. Have tried all the troubleshooting tips:reset to factory settings, recover etc. Got a new SIM card because it said I don't have one but I do. Apple support wouldn't help me because I was out of warranty, and said I would have to pay. Went to the Apple store and they couldn't fix it and said "it's a hardware issue" that will cost me $170.00+. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE NEW iO7 FRIED MY PHONE'S HARDWARE. The phone is on the HELLO stage and keeps searching but will not activate to server- it's temporarily unavailable. Have tried multiple times.I have a 3 year contract with Rogers and the phone is less than 2 years old. Apple needs to take responsibility for crashing my phone. I NEED A FREE NEW PHONE!!!
Restore it to factory settings, then set it up from your back up. Did this last year when I got my new iPod, and it worked. I have no idea why syncing OTA can sometimes glitch, but hopefully this will help.

I originally hooked my iphone to my cousins itunes/apple account (on my computer). I did so because my computer wouldn't register with itunes (some software problem) so I couldn't hook it up. I've now fixed my computer and want to hook my iphone to my itunes/apple account however when I do it asks me to choose a new phone or restore from backup. Well it was never hooked up to this account so I need to choose new phone, if i do will everything on my phone be erased?
Hello there, pullmyhairout.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great guidance for backing up your iOS device to your computer:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes
Back up
To back up the content on your iOS device to iTunes on your computer:
Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Choose File > Devices > Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device and choose Backup Now.
You can also back up by syncing your iOS device with your computer. When you use iTunes to sync, backing up is the first step.
To check that the backup finished successfully, open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. You'll see the name of the device along with the date and time iTunes created the backup.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
New phone, trying to set up from latest backup, cant
I just got a new iphone 5s as my 4s would no longer turn on wifi. I have plugged in old phone and completed a backup. Plugged in new phone but it only gives me an option to set up from a backup done ten days ago. Cant do it via icloud as old phone wont turn on wifi. I have information on my old phone that i need on my new phone and text messages etc. can anyone help me work this out please?
Assuming you are using iTunes ,perform the backup on old iPhone again
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device -
I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

I need to update my phone, but my computer broke, and do not have a new one. can I use someone else computer to go through with the update if i log on with my itunes account or Is there a chance of loosing all my data, ie: music/photos? And if all else fails can i go to the apple store and have them update my phone?
Update to what? The 3G you want to update? You have ios3 or 4 on that 3G?
Go to a friend, authorize that pc.

Make a backup of your stuff (from the phone. apps/photos/music/blabla). Update your phone. The phone will restore the backup automatically. -
Got a new sim for my new contract, so need to reactivate my phone. To reactivate I've to put in my Apple ID which I have but it's saying it's not accepting it and is asking for old ID which phone was set up on which I do not have. I can't do anything with my phone as it's locked on the enter iD screen! I have already reset and verified my password but still not accepting it! Help
If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787). If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

How am i ment to use "find my i phone" when my iphone has not yet got icloud on it. What a waste of an app. Now need to get a new phone.
Easy... you install the Find My iPhone app > http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
You can use that app without iCloud and you don't need a new iPhone.

Please can you help....
I ordered an iPhone 5s in early September from the orange shop in Chamonix Mont-Blanc France.
I needed a new phone as i dropped my iPhone and broke it so it thought i would upgrade.
I was asked in the shop if I wanted a black or white one, I asked for a Black one, as all my iPhones have all been Black as I DON'T LIKE White ones. (sorry)
I was told my phone would arrive in a week so I waited with broken phone for new one. The following week I was told it would be the following week, the following week i was told the same but the assistant in the shop told me they would ring me when it arrived. Three days later i recieved a text from the shop to say the phone would be in tomorrow, when I went in they said it had not arrived and they would call me when it was in the shop.
They called me on Thursday the 17th of October to say the phone was in the shop.
I arrived at the shop at 6:00pm after my work, the shop closes at 7:00pm. I recieved the phone, signed for it and extra unwanted insurance with I was told I could only canceled in a month. I was then told they didn't have any sim cards in the shop, i said no problem the Phone i assume will need charging so i will take it home and charge it and return for the sim tomorrow.
So the Phone remained boxed.
When I returned home and opened the box I realised it was a white one, I replaced the lid put it back in the bag, and returned it to the shop first thing Friday 18th October, to point out the error, only to be told "to bad" ?? I was told I could have changed it the night before but not this morning? They said I had ordered a Black one but as I had signed for a White one nothing can be done. I was angry and left the shop. I returned later the same day with a French friend to try and resolve this problem, as I wasn't sure if something was being lost in translation. I didn't think I was being unreasonable, it is a very expensive piece of equipment and this wasn't what i wanted. They told my friend that the phone was not available in Black, that was the 5, and that the 5s was only available in silver and gold, and that mine was a silver one.
I then thought it was my mistake as it was a new phone. She put a sim in the phone put it in the box and I left for a business meeting only to arrive and see a Black iPhone 5s sitting on the table??
So I then returned back to the shop with the Black one and mine still all boxed and untouched to prove they had blatantly lied to me an hour ago, only to be told that there was nothing they were prepared to do.
Is this fair practice ? I am at a loss with this and am looking for help ?Welcome to the Support Communities. This Apple doc may be of interest:

A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":
"iPhone 5s — Available in silver, gold, and space gray" (Source) -
Just bought a 5s to replace the 4s. My daughter lives in Bali, Indonesia. Needs a new phone and I would like to send it to her, rather than any other option. I was told it had to be unlocked to use internationally. What do I do, to make this possible. ?
Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked to ask
if they provide unlocking and if you qualify. Apple does not unlock
iPhones; only wireless carriers can unlock iPhones locked to their
respective networks. -
I ordered a new phone and shipped it to a friend in Dubai, UAE. without knowing i have to activate it by making 5minutes calls, please i need a way to activate it without sending it back to the US..any help? this has been very frustrating for me this past few days
scottxx,
That was very nice of you to provide your friend with a new phone! I am sorry to say that the device will not be able to activate while in Dubai. For a device to activate it must connect to the VZW network to become active. I apologize for any inconvenience.
