Nokia 8800 Series vs. E72

Hullo all.
I am due to refresh my phone soon and am wondering if there is any definitive news on the next model in the 8800 series?
I currently have the Arte (8800e) and have had the Sirrocco (8800d) and the original 8800 in the past.
I am of two minds to wait and see or go for the E72...
Does anyone know anything firm about the rumored 88XX Erdos (perhaps 8820)?
Cheers in advance.

Opps - sorry about mentioning rumours, did not realise it was against the rules.
What I am looking for is a smartphone, primarily for push email and onscreen feed updates, with a similar form factor to the 8800 series.
What I like about the series is it's quality of build, materials (OLED screen), and slide form.
I'll hold out for a month or two and see if anything hits the market.
If only there was a way to put S60 on the Arte
Thanks,

Sync Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX

Hi.
Does anyone know how to sync a Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX, in order to get all contacts over to an iPhone.
Is there a free software out there (whyever Nokia doesn´t provide one).
Thx,
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nokia used to produce Mac versions of the PC Suite software back in the long-gone days of the early Communicator series, but Apple applied pressure for that to stop, because they wanted all Apple users to sync with their own iSync software.
Regretably, Apple is not great at ensuring compatibility with all phones from all manufacturers. For more information, go to http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/isync/compatibility-and-download - you will see that the original Nokia 8800 is compatible with iSync but that subsequent versions like 880 Sirocco, 8800 Arte etc. are not yet covered.
iSync itself is made by Apple, and the Nokia site will link to Apple to download it. Nokia does provide some plugins to make some common models work, but I don't think that later 8800 versions are included. It is possible to search for third-party plgins that may solve the issue if your 8800 is not the original model.

ISync Nokia 8800

BTFE works fine with my Nokia 8800 but I can't get it to sync - the bluetooth connection drops on the handset.
It's listed as compatible with iSync on the Support site. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, are there any known workarounds?
Imac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

This is a Nokia Series 40 mobile phone. The series indicates the operating system on a Nokia. A Nokia Series 60, 80 or 90 is based on Symbian OS. Nokia Series 30 and 40 are based on Nokia's own operating system.
Apple iSync 1.5 and 2.1 supports Symbian OS based mobile phones but no Nokia Series 40 phones. Search for the various topics about the Nokia 6230 and have a look at MacMedia PhoneDirector.

Nokia 8800 Sirocco - good or bad buy?

I'm thinking of entering into my first contract tomorrow and wanted an Nokia 8800 Sirocco
My friend works for a phone shop and can get me one on Orange.
Would anyone avoid it? I heard the battery life was terrible on the 8800, is it the same issue with the sirocco? Also, I have a N70 at the moment but don't use email, from reading the forum it appears people are having a lot of trouble with email? Is it something that goes wrong even if you don't use email?
Any advice would be very welcome
Cheers
Rob

Ive read and heard from friends that the battery has been improved from the 8800 series although it is supplied with two batteries also.
I have the original 8800 and im very satisfied with it.
I dont use the camera and music,video and bluetooth functions which all add up to drain the battery.
I get 2-3 days from each battery.
The scricco has a better camera {which i dont use} and has the powersaver option cured. ie : it scrolls down the screen unlike the 8800 which does not which in time caused the lcd screen burn. It has also a better keypad, although im not sure about the thumb indentation on the slider..lol
My advice is go for it and you have been offered a decent contract too !!
I would try for a 12 month contract tho.
Some users have experienced difficulty when attempting to use the e mail function as it disappeared from the menu system when accessed. If you use e mail from your service provider then ask to try a demo fone to see what happens.
I dont use it myself as my provider gets enough money from me as it is..lol
Good luck with your choice and yes im well jealous....

Truth about nokia 8800 Sirocco by myself and the d...

right i saw a lot of people that need help with this issue
well first of all there is the nokia 8800 sirocco Gold and the 8800 sirocco Gold Look, don,t be mistaken the second is not a fake it is acctualy a normal silver sirocco with a gold brush.
the firt one is 18k Gold not all gold but a small layer of gold over it.
how to spot a fake!
any IDIOT that still believes that a 8xxx serie still says made in finland, dont even reply on this post cause you got a fake sirocco.
if you have a real 8800 sirocco or 8600 luna they both will say made in GERMANY.
second, the Gold look sirocco is about 385 to 450 euros.
a realy gold edition is around 650 to 800 euro's
third, a real sirocco Gold will have a Gold certificate if it does not have that its either the Gold look or a complete Fake.
fourth, if there are no letter on the back of the phone dont, buy it,it has to say nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold right in the middle of the back, if not dont buy it.
LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT
on this nokia site you will see my nokia, click on it make a my nokia account.
in this account you can put in imei numbers in of your nokia phone, if you got the brains this is your key for checking any imei of any nokia phone.
you will get feedback about what phone you have. this is the only true way to verify if you got the real thing!
i wish you all a good and luxery 8xxx day!

Nokia 8800 / 8801 Data Cable or Car Kit - Anyone H...

Does anyone know how or where to get any of these. I do recall that Nokia made a data cable for the 8800 but cannot find one.Instead I bought a cable from eBay which fits into the back of the handset but this does not work.
Nokia E71 RM-346
400.21.013

The 8801 is the same as the Nokia 8800.
However the 8801 is designed for the US market, because it has a different radio module in it.
It is Quad Band, but instead of working on GSM900 it operates on GSM850. Because there are no GSM850 Networks in the UK then that handset will only work on GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 Networks. GSM 1800 Networks are available in the UK those are T-Mobile and Orange - in dense areas of population you may get some Voda or O2 but not nationally. Vodafone and O2 use GSM 900 Networks and as such the 8801 will not pick them up.
As the handset is the same as the 8800 there is no data cable connection, and again the only way to connect it is by Bluetooth.
I'm guessing that you did not get the phone in the UK?
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black

Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte - Desperately want 1!

Not sure if I am posting in the right place but I would like some advice please...
End of last year I looked into buying a Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte and found a good deal with Orange. However as I was going abroad for a couple of months and wouldn't be using the phone, I thought it pointless to sign up to a new contract however upon my return the phone had disappeared off their website and off every other network provider's too! I have looked everywhere and cannot find a single contract deal anywhere.
I have seen the Carbon Arte but don't like it as much as the Sapphire version so does anyone have any idea why it's not available anywhere? or if you know of a deal, please let me know asap.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

it will be available somewhere might take some searching though ,have you tried any good online retailers
heres a place ive found i dont no there rep as im not living in uk
http://www.phoneslimited.co.uk/Nokia/8800+Sapphire+Arte.html

ive just checked the nokia online store and according to them its in stock ready to ship

DT-8 Stand for Nokia 8800

Hello All,
I am trying to find an extra desk stand for my Nokia 8800, but it looks like official Nokia stores do not offer one. My local retailer doesn't have one either.
There are some on ebay, of course sellers claim that there are authentic, but I can hardly believe this. Also, found one on this site http://www.directmobileaccessories.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2236 but also have doubts about it being genuine Nokia item.
I will appreciate any advises and comments.
Regards,
Denis

I'm sure one has been found in the 2 years since the original post was made
This forum is for phone problems, ebay is for selling stuff.

How one can print a page to pocket printer from handset of nokia 40 series/

how one can print a page to pocket printer from handset of nokia 40 series/60series/80 series
if u have any information regarding these two question the pls send me the link

I came across something similar recently where it printed the left hand side only!
If I want to print an email, instead of File > Print ( does not print properly ) I click on the print icon on my email webpage ( do not use applemail and access gmail direct) which then takes me to print preview showing the complete email which prints ok.
Some webpages ( File>Print) do not print properly and some do. Those that do not generally have their own printer icon (path) that needs to be clicked on.
Maybe something to do with encryption but don't know.
Hope this helps in some way.

NOKIA 8800 CARBON ARTE HELP!!!!!

Hi
I have a Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, cannot seem to get predictive text messaging in English, its only Chinese and other languages. Can anyone help with this please.
Also, when I download my software and pit my USB cable in, nothing happens. Help please.
Thank you in advance

All Nokia phones have English and other languages.
The fact that yours doesn't and that the phone isn't recognized when you plug it into your computer leads me to believe that you have a fake. There's a huge number of fake 8800's available on the web, in particular in places such as eBay where most phones on sale are fakes.

Nokia 8800 contact in first name sequence only?

I'm able to sync my Nokia 8800 with my powerbook, but is the contact order in first name sequence only? Is there any way to arrange it in Last Name basis?
Thanks in advance for your help.

i just noticed that of my 462 contacts, about 90% of them have the first name in the last name box and vice versa. i input each one of the contacts and have synced several times between my iphone, gmail and my 4 mac computers. i have seen that you can sort by first name or last name, but this is not a sorting issue. the first and last names have physically switched locations. i noticed this so i turned off mobile me and it did not sync with my iPhone. i think i will have to just reload the contacts on the one computer but i still don't understand what happened.

I have the usb data cable for nokia N1200 Series.Does it works with Nokia 1680 classic and what driver should I use and install ?

Hi,
Have you checked the Connectivity? If the device connects on wrong type of usb connection, the PC Suite cannot access the device.
Choose Settings>Connectivity>USB data cable> PC Suite from your handheld.
Should work, if the menu-line is correct. I'm running a 5310 on S40 with firmware version 05.81.
