Nokia 5500 sport-lacking in features?

I just upgraded from a 5140i to a 5500 sport and in doing so tried to copy my contacts from the SIM to the phone. Not only do you have to do this individually, contact by contact (or have I missed something), but it does not copy the whole business card, preferring to set up a new contact for each line of the business card. Irritating at least if you have 200 entries on your card! Is there any way of overcoming this?
Secondly, there is no way of putting a reminder to 'call' a contact into the calendar as there used to be on the old phone. Useful, as you could call the contact as soon as the reminder prompted you.
Thirdly, the letters on the screen are tiny! At least there was an option to double the font size in the old phone (in 'contacts' - again! ).
Fourthly, there seems to be no 'timed' facility for setting a profile, useful if you go into a meeting for a period and come out and forget to switch to 'General' again.
Fifthly, calendar 'anniversaries' cannot be set up as date specific ie birthdays are now just marked as a reminder, without telling you how old the person is as there is no way of inputting the birth-date.
Sixth. Autolock operates on all profiles, it would be better to be able to choose which profile to apply it to.
If anybody has any suggestions about my comments I woud be interested to read them and find some fixes.

Hey, have the same phone and gps module and having problems connecting to gps satellite. Pairing the two seems ok - green and blue light flash but am getting no white light, just wondering how did you get yours working? thanks.

  • Nokia 5500 sport-more underwhelming features...

    How do I store the T9 dictionary onto the sim card? Every time I upgrade my phone, I have to re-teach all the abbreviations and spellings accumulated sometimes over a two-year period. This is a real pain, and I do not see an obvious way around it. If anyone knows a fix, please advise!

    Wicked story there!

  • Nokia 5500 sports connectivity problems with Blue ...

    Hi i have just bought a Blue ant light hands free car kit and my Nokia 5500 sports will not connect to it. i have tried everything, the phone does detect the blue ant devise if you search from data transfer but of course it wont send data to it. Can some one help?

    Nokia "care"/"Customer Service"/"Sales" contact numbers all appear to be inoperative this morning, and their automated web generated e-mail enquiry service comes up with an error message when completed and an attempt is made to send it. When you send a real e-mail to Nokia to report this, back comes an instant response that their support is not available via direct e-mails, and to go to the web for contact details; It doesn't seem too great through any of their communication channels. This could be the last Nokia I buy...
    Moderator note:
    Nokia Care e-mail address removed from this post. Please note that the e-mails to customer support need to be sent via the "Contact us", new mails cannot be sent to the contact centre addresses because they will not contain system-generated codes to ensure routing to the right people.

  • Nokia 5500 sport RM 86 - character reduced support...

    Hello folks,
    I bought 5500 sport gray, branded for operator Orange France.
    I was disatisfied with it, and change product code to Balkans.
    I got Serbian language.
    Product code is: 0533823.
    And with NSU, reinstalled firmware version 4.60.
    I set serbian for writing language, then turned on character reduced support.
    However, character support for Serbian does not work at all.
    When I type our special coded characters such as: č, ć, ž, š and đ, number of remaining characters automaticly falling from 160 to 69.
    I was curius and changed product code to Euro1, and character reduced support worked.
    I back to balkans code, and still does not work...
    I really like t9, and I cannot write SMS messages...
    Experts, please, tell me, I found 12 product codes for Balkans but dont know which to put in function to character reduced support work...
    Thank you verry much.

    Talking about product code changes is prohibited in this forum. It is unofficial and is grounds for Nokia to refuse to repair or service your phone in any way.

  • Nokia 5500 Sport update

    When is Nokia going to release the latest (4.60 I think) version of the 5500 Sport software via NSU?
    Why is my product code giving me "no update available" message when I've already been updating from 3.14 to 3.55 via NSU?
    I'd really like to hear directly from Nokia about this, thanks!

    The phone will slow down with that number of messages, what ever firmware version you use.
    Try deleting or backing up some messages.
    You could also try installing the SMS accelerator which you can find on page 3 of this link: http://europe.nokia.com/A4273040
    Deleting messages could be the solution to the "speed" and instability problems... But this is not quite the point. I want to know why Nokia is not making the latest update available on NSU, and when are they planning to do so!
    Thanks!

  • ISync and a Nokia 5500 Sport

    I have looked and looked and looked, but I can't find anything that will allow me to Sync my 5500 with my mac. A few apps out there claim to do it, but reports from those who have tried are generally poor, and the apps cost!
    Has anyone, ever, managed to Sync the two?

    hello Stevebb,
    I am not sure if you will get this message, but I am wondering if you have had any luck in synching your Nokia 5500 with your mac. I have not been able to do so yet and I want to ask you about it.
    On your post it says that it was answered and therefore I wanted to know what the answer(s) was(were) is possible.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Need nokia 5500 sport original panel

    Please provide any detials or online shopping link to get nokia original panel for nokia 5500 
    i already went to Nokia care they are not responding properly .. saying Nokia corporation is not providing product support for this model ,
    so they cannot provide the panel for this phone as the Nokia already stopped this phone . my phone warranty also got down . 
    i have bought for phone for 10000 INR , with in one year the key pad was teared and panel back end was damaged.

    i dont think this phone will let you record 4 hours straight out of the box... i think you will need something different for that, and a new memory card.
    as for the cdrom, you can get all the software on www.nokia.com/pcs - for the wrist strap you would want to check with your retailer.

  • Nokia 5500 sport Keypad

    Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to go but.. I have a two month old Nokia 5500 and the rubber keypad has started to peel off. Is it possible to get a replacement keypad/cover? I feel the manufacturers warranty should cover this, but i'm not sure. Any advice?

    nice link makingmark, but the thing is why should we need to replace it at $5 a time every couple of months?
    My local service centre said that this was "cosmetic damage" and therefore not covered under my warranty.
    I live in Hong Kong and we (like most places) have a law which protects consumers from being robbed by the unscrupulous.
    Part of that law states that goods should be of "merchantable quality" and it further goes on to define merchantable quality as being "..as durable as it is reasonable to expect having regard to any description applied to them..."
    Nokia describe their 5500 as "designed to be tough", "built for an active life" and "designed to withstand bumps, dust, and water splashes".
    This description could reasonably lead me to believe that it is durable enough to withstand the rigours of three months being in my pocket while I get the bus to my office and back.
    I have decided to launch a website petition to try and get a recall on this shoddy product.
    I am also writing a letter to the Hong Kong Consumer Council and the I'll see if I can claim on the Small Claims Court.
    I hate being duped and sold sub-standard gear - espoecially when Nokia has previously been so reliable.
    I'll post the website once it is online - shouldn't take more than a day or two.

  • Freezing Nokia 5500 Sport

    I am having a problem with my phone, which crashes everytime I send a message (SMS). The phone crashes just after pressing 'send'. The bar that displays a rolling motion in the activity window stops after a few turns and the phone freezes. You cannot do anything until the display light goes out at which point the phone goes back to normal. It happens everytime I send so I cannot proceed with other activities during a 10-30 second period which it takes for the light to go out. It is as if when the light goes out in comes around and starts working again. Under these circumstances the light also remains long for longer then the 10 seconds Ive set it too. The phone has been doing this since new but since there are no Nokia Service Centres close to where I live they (service centre) is not of much use.
    To me it seems like the messaging application fails to work in the background but freezes up the phone instead. Sometime I get a noticiation that message application is closing.
    this is a rather annoying problem and I would be great if someone has any ideas as to what can be done.

    Hi!
    so you know if you got the themes locally installed on the phone, or if you installed them on the memory card. Themes can swallow a lot of memory of your phone. If you're not sure, delete them all (or at least the not used ones)

  • Nokia 5500 Sport - no stopwatch?

    I'm really disappointed that the 5500 doesn't come with a stopwatch with lap timer functionality (not to mention thermometer and sound meter like the 5140 but I digress). It's a feature I need very often and a huge flaw for a sports smartphone. Even my 1112 has a basic stopwatch. I was hoping Nokia might release a decent stopwatch (with lap timer) soon. Any input on this is appreciated.

    Hey, you're right. Actually I had forgotten about that. It's a pity that it doesn't suit motorsports or any other precise measurements because it doesn't have hundredths of seconds but it's a start. It's also annoying that it saves the exercise data everytime I simply want to time an activity.
    Thanks though.

  • I can't send texts on my Nokia 5500 sport

    I'm sure this is something really obvious, but I can ring out and receive call and texts, but every time I try to text, it tells me my message cannot be sent.
    Please help

    I had a similar problem when I first got my 5500. It came with an orange sim card but I wanted to use my existing vodafone sim which worked ok except it did not have the message center number on it and the phone's software did not provide a method of setting it!
    Anyway, a nice man in the local Vodafone shop inserted the vodafone sim card from his phone into my 5500, visited the message center settings screen and that fixed the problem. It seems that the message centre number was read from the SIM card and the phone remembered it.
