New Nokia Tradies phone?

I'v been looking for a new Nokia Tradesman phone for my father. He had the older style until recently & would like a similar thing though with a bit more memory. I'v read about the "Sport" version but he would prefer a 'bare bones' type of phone. If anyone could advise, it would be a huge help.

Unfortunately, Nokia haven't bothered to update this market segment since the hugely popular 5140i. There are other brands, however, such as Sonim and Samsung that seem happy to fill this void.

You are welcome! I played with the 928 in a Verizon store and really liked it. Besides the great camera and Nokia Maps, I'd be pretty excited about Nokia Music, too. As I understand it, this free app lets you create playlists from its entire music library, which can be stored on your device to listen to any time.
There are a few members on the WP board who are really knowledgeable about Nokia and WP, so let us know if you have more questions.

WhatsApp (finally!) coming to New Nokia Asha phone...

There has been so many questions on the topic here and other channels that I thought to post a short "heads up" on the topic here as well. It was announced today at Nokia World that WhatsApp is coming to the Asha platform phones starting next month. Stay tuned for further details, but here are a few snippets of what was announced today.
http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/10/22/clear-advantage-the-nokia-asha-500-502-and-503/
->
"Continued app support for the platform is also celebrated today, with the launch of the enormously popular WhatsApp for new Asha Platform devices, including the Asha 501."
The Asha ecosystem continues to grow with over 900 developers already in the million download club. Many of them are developing social imaging applications for the newest crop of Asha phones. WhatsApp, the popular social application providing free messaging to millions of people around the world, will be available for the Nokia Asha 501 starting November, with support for the new Nokia Asha 500, Asha 502 and Asha 503 coming soon. - See more at: http://press.nokia.com/2013/10/22/nokias-latest-family-of-products-accelerates-application-innovatio...

Regarding other new announced features for Nokia Asha phones, it's also worth noting that:
"Owners of the first Asha Platform device, the Asha 501, aren’t left out: they will receive the new features through a software update. All new Asha 501s shipped from the factory will also come with the new software."

HELLO SIR

notification light
back light
bluetooth
wifi connection problem
slow volume at ring tone
pls help me purchase at new nokia e6 phone
solve this problem ?

It's not going to happen. Even a cursory reading of the forums would have revealed this fact.
Apple can NOT help you. AT&T WILL NOT help you.
Leave your iPhone at home or in airplane mode while you're in India and buy yourself a cheap disposable phone to use while you're in India. I believe AT&T still has a program where they will put your account "on hold" while you are gone for a small fee.

Why when i buy a new Nokia phone i have to buy som...

I've purchased the new NOKIA 6233. I realized that all the USB cable drivers and software work under OS Windows 2000 or Windows XP. I have Windows 98 and everything works ok. Why when i buy a new phone i also have to pay to upgrade my computer? Why Nokia doesn't provide drivers for all users?Message Edited by spero on 28-Aug-2006

It does not and will not work with windows ME. There is nothing that you can do to change that fact.
Win ME is old, obsolete and unsupported by microsoft.
You have three choices for updating your phone:
1) Buy and install win xp or vista, then install the software updater.
2) Update you phone using someone else's pc which has xp or vista.
3) Visit a care point and ask them to update your phone.

New nokia social 1.4!

Hello MODS,
I've heared about the new nokia social 1.4 from online news published 01/14/2012 and its support for new features as notifications, events, syncing contacts and dedicated facebook and twitter widgets. I am planning to buy nokia 701 very soon but i wanna ask if this new is still laggy, does it crash and what about the notifications is it push or manual refresh?

Yes dedicated facebook and twitter apps and widgets are there. Nice thing.
701 is not at all lagging. From my experience of 2 months use, the phone is just robust it just won't crash.
Notifications are of course push.
701 is highly recommended. Man it can multitask upto 25 to 32 apps without hanging or slowdown. Well I hardly use 5 apps running.

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.

Can't sync my Macbook with my new Nokia Lumia 900.

I spent two hours with a couple of the tech folks at the AT&T store yesterday, trying to get my new Nokia Lumia 900 to sync to my Macbook... but with no luck. No matter what we did, I kept getting a message that the server was not secure, and so the calendar and address book wouldn't sync. Other things probably as well, though these two were my primary concerns. And, yes, we had downloaded the Windows Phone 7 Connector. It didn't seem to matter. Any suggestions, other than taking the phone back and getting another iPhone for a couple hundred more than I paid for the Lumia?

Take it back and buy an iPhone...
Sorry had to say it -

Joikuspot not working on brand new Nokia 808

I've just purchased a Nokia 808 from Singapora and tried using Joikuspot. Unfortunately for some reason it fails to start a connection. I've made sure that BOTH mobile data and wifi are on as well. When I start the program, it asks if I want to start a connection (to which I say yes), I choose AT&T Internet and wait. I can see the 3G internet icon start up, but the wifi icon (or transmitting icon) never appears and the message "Connection failed, Connection unavailable" appears up at the top.
I've tried reinstalling Joikuspot (well, I purchased the premium version actually), reinstalling the phone software (via Nokia Suite) and doing a factory reset with no success. Internet and other apps seem to work fine under 3G and wifi as well so I'm not sure what's going on. Any information regarding the matter would be extremely helpful. Thanks everyone.
Jon
Btw, I've also contacted the people at Joiku and what they've recommended (factory reset, checking certain settings) hasn't worked either. :-(

Hi all,
This post is about using the third party application JoikuSpot in USA (and other FCC governed countries) and is copied to the following threads:
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Phone-Applications/Joikuspot-not-working-on-brand-new-Nokia-808/m-p/...
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Pureview-808-Intermittent-wireless-c...
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Help-Does-non-US-variant-808-purevie...
1) It doesn't matter where you get your Nokia 808 PureView from, ie it doesn't matter if it's a US, Singapore or Finnish variant.. If you are using that device on a network/carrier in the US, the device recognises this and is not going to allow you to make Ad-Hoc wlan connections, as per the regulations set out by the FCC.
2) I understand (this I am not certain on) that the FCC regulations came into force in 2011. Therefore for any device manufacturer since then, the device is not allowed to create Ad-Hoc networks otherwise the device manufacturer wouldn't get FCC approval.
3) The FCC restrictons are in this case technically talking about Ad-Hoc networks, not 'wifi direct' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Direct) networks that are used for example in Lumia 610/710/800/900.
4) I understand the US Variants of Nokia 808 PureView do not have JoikuSpot preinstalled.
5) I understand that US customers are not able to purchase JoikuSpot from Nokia Store.
6) JoikuSoft should be aware of this as they are making the software to create the Ad-Hoc networks. I will find someone to talk to JoikuSoft, failing that I will do it myself. I noticed a post from 'greentoy' claiming "According to Joikusoft Support, It should work fine in US, but they didn't know for sure.". Greentoy, if you're reading this please post me the JoikuSoft contact you had so I can sort this out with them.
It goes without saying, if you have Nokia 808 PureView in the US, and are using JoikuSpot successfully, then I am happy for you and don't want to cause problems for you, but I suspect the FCC would be happy to tell you about their feelings..
Are there any other questions I should be aware of using JoikuSpot in the US before I try to get in touch with JoikuSoft?

HELP - My new Nokia Lumia 620 won't boot up, even ...

I'm worried my Nokia Lumia 620 is a lemon, and the Care Centre will just keep taking it in for repair. The reliability so far has been disappointing, especially as I was giving Nokia a try after a 10 year break, and also trying out Windows Mobile / Phone after a 6 year break. I want to recommend it - I'm continually being asked by friends and colleagues what I think of my new phone.   Nokia will be smart to just replace it.
The details: my Nokia Lumia 620 won't boot up today (again). It hung on boot this morning with the Nokia Logo. That was over 2 hours ago. It had this problem during February, and I returned it twice for repair to the local Nokia Care Centre. I guess I'll take it in again later today, but it just feels like a lemon handset so far.
Timeline:
Handset purchased in local Nokia Store on Jan 29 2013 ( 7 weeks ago)
Handset gave "Exclamation-Mark-Screen-of-Death" on Feb 19 2013 (3 weeks old handset)
Local Nokia Store sent me to local Nokia Care Centre, handed in overnight "for repair"
Phone returned on Feb-20-2013 after software refresh.
Worked fine for 1 week.   Problem returned Feb 26 2013. (4 week old handset)
Nokia Care Centre "replaced motherboard" on Feb 27 2013.
Has worked fine for 3 weeks.   Now Lumia 620 won't boot this morning - no Exclamation Mark, instead it's the Nokia Logo on boot.
The handset is 7 weeks old.
Hard reset (side-button-combination) hasn't worked either.
Any advice on getting this working, repaired or replaced?

Update on the repair - it didn't work. I returned the phone to the Yau Ma Tei Nokia Care Centre on March 20th, and was given what was termed a 'replacement' phone. I was pretty happy. All was well. But two days later when I tried to make a phone call using my headphones, I noticed that only the left audio channel was working through the earphones. I tried a second pair of earphones and the same problem. The audio was only working through the left channel. On a new phone. How strange.
So was it really new? My suspicion is that the repair centre has used old returned parts (parts they perhaps term as refurbished) - so in fact my replacement phone is my old phone assembled with old and refurbished parts. Was it in fact a refurbished phone assembled from refurbished parts? Frustrating when they tell me it's a replacement phone.
That was back in late March. I posted a couple of tweets and Nokia responded. They even phoned me to try and help. However no offer of a new phone. All they suggested was that I revisit the Nokia Service Centre. For a 4th time.
That was about 6 weeks ago, and I simply haven't made the time to go to the Service Centre again. It's hard to find the time when my last 3 visits have been so unsuccessful.
Sometimes you just get a lemon. It happened to me once before with a different manufacturer when I was on a contract and had to live with a phone for 2 years that kept cutting out during calls. Same problem - the manufacturer attempted to repair it, but it just never worked properly. That was 10 years ago. Now it's happening with my new Nokia. Luckily I'm not on contract this time. I've read good reviews for the Lumia 620, and overall it's a pretty decent handset in every other way.
But the issues this particular handset has been plagued with has overshadowed any positive feelings I have been having. I'll probably be cutting my losses and changing handsets in the summer.

Problem I can not Update new Nokia X6 8Gb firmware...

Problem I can not Update new Nokia X6 firmware Version V.21.0.005,
can someone tell me where can I get new Nokia Software Update for X6 8Gb,
I tried to update new firmware, but this is new version is not Aviable
where I can get new version in my phone serial number: numbers end
in ( 2587 ) and when will update available for my phone serial number be
Thank you

Reasons why a phone cannot update:
1. It is a country variant - country variants often get the updates later, or have updates skipped altogether. A Turkish country variant product code for example, skipped v40 and updated from v31 straight to v50.
2. It is network branded - phones acquired from network providers or these providers' stores SIM free are branded, and will not get updates until the networks approve and modify the updates to their liking.
3. Special editions - These special editions are chartered editions and may never get updates unless taken to a Nokia Care center.

Solution - i removed battery and replaced. (This is very bad solution but i had no other option)

So disappointed!!

hi mate, as a precursor to taking your phone to nokia care, you can check that you have the latest firmware updates for your device, and that you are up to date with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store. also try performing a soft and then a hard reset if that doesn't work.

Brand New Nokia C6 hanging lots.

Hi,
I just bought a brand new Nokia C6. I have to say, i'm very satisfied with the phone when it's in good shape, but it hangs a lot. When I lock the keypad on my phone, the phone locks itself and no amount of pressing and holding any button will revive it. This happens randomly. I have to remove and replace the battery. This happens around 6-7 times a day. I have tried to reset the phone, but it still got the problem.
Does anyone have ANY help to offer?

Hi
Same here..Bought Nokia C6-00 on the 8th of October. It keeps on hanging when I lock or unlock the touchscreen. t\This is the first time Nokia has disappointed me. After reading all these discussions it seems like this model itself is problematic.

We cannot give you precise information will your phone be compatible and when it is gonna happen, but the list of compatible devices will be extended. You can check updates on http://maps.nokia.com/explore-services/ovi-maps/downloads#/default/
If you have free trial on your phon efor 7 days, you need to open in your phone:
menu>maps>options>shop and licences>shop (if you do not have any free trail) or if you have free trail you need to go to my licence>select.
Kind regards,

My question：
I 'm a nokia phone's user of Hong kong,China and I'm using
the nokia N82.
recently,I hear the nokia OVI maps can update to the 3.03 VER. with the free Navigation Forever.
but my nokia N82 is still not see the updatelist in yours website.
however when I go to yours webside from my nokia N82,because I want to try the 7-days Navigation ,but now can't go any more.
actually,I have asked the Hong kong nokia 's E-mail ,they haven not aswer me the question "when will the nokia N82 can update to the New Ovi Map with the free Navigation Forever"
I'm really really angry about that...
so I really want yours to answer me the question,I 'm very need this function with my life . thank you very much
a nokia N82 user

This I wrote in the "Nokia E71 and E66 get free navigation, today" thread but it fits this one as well. So here it is. (Yes I know that the 1 year licens is €10 now).
This "news" is really a slap in the face to us N82/N95 owners who also runs S60 3.1.
If Nokia from the very beginning told us that "Sorry folks, if U got an older phone you don´t be able to get the free navigation Ovi Maps" then my reaction would be, ok that´s life.
But when you read things like
Ovi Maps are already available for download for 10 Nokia models, including the popular mini Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia E72. More models are expected to be included in the coming weeks.
And everywhere on the Nokia website
-Navigation on your Nokia. For free. Forever
-Mobile navigation for everyone
-All this with only one click. And it's all free.
-Ovi Maps Free navigation on your Nokia.
You really hope that it will be free on your Nokia.
And on top of that the E66 and E71 get the Free navigation (So the limitations could´t be the software S60 3.1). Then I think me and many N82/N95 users are mildly upset.
After used five Nokia phones I don´t planning to buy a new one. Instead of spending €99.99 for 1 year navigation I put the money in a HTC android phone. Then I can spend €25-€30 on a no limit navigation software.
You spoke, we listened
http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/04/06/nokia-e71-and-e66-get-free-navigation-today/
Yeah right.
Now people say. It is a lot of coding, programming bla bla bla.... to make it work in N82/N95.
I´ll give you the solution for free. Just reduce the licens price to €0 or €0.10 for the 3.01 Ovi Maps.
