Select Button and Programming Choices/Uploading

😁 Just bought this phone. Very difficult for me. I am used to old Nokia analog which was very simple.

1. Can you program the phone so the scroll buttons go through Contact list right from main display w/o having to go to Name, Search?

2. How to you upload things into your images file?
No instructions on that?
Do I need to buy cable and also download PC Support from Nokia?

THANKS THANKS THANKS

i bought the usb cable and super disc off of e bay for around 8 bucks ( super buy ) although a few of the pictures are duplicated ☹️

but the software is free at nokias' website and u can try and use that,i ve been having a hard time with the pictures ( music fine )

also try sending an multimedia message to your phone through your computer ( i havent tried this yet )good luck as i know this phone has been nothing but headaches for me.☹️

Thanks for your reply. I down loaded the software and will buy the cable. But on the software when it says select phone, this phone doesn't appear.

Intersting when you go to Nokia's US site and to the "Fun" tab re tones, pictures, it only lists T Mobile and Cingular as carriers it supports. I just bought this phone from Verizon.

And Nokia wants to know why it has lost giant market share and leadership? How pathetic they cannot even update their website and software.

I'm hoping that the issue is that the phone is so new and that there will be changes made with so many people bitching about these problems.I'm going to be giving Verizon a call tuesday evening and see hat they have to say about all this.Have you and is there a complaint section at Verizons website?I will check there after this post/reply.
keep in touch as we maybe able to help each other out with these very stupid problems.When I made the decision to get this phone I thought I was eliminating any of th common cell phone issues and here we all are dealing with stupid issues we shouldnt even be having to go through!

Hi...helpful info...call the Verizon new york office, they will return your call and document the complaint. Call 800-621-9900 and ask for the wireless department then option 2...that should work. And they will return calls. You can also sign on to this petition http://www.petitiononline.com/VERIZONW/petiti on.html

On my phone 6255i the default settings allow me to press either the up or down arrows and my contact list pops up. As for uploading you need a DKU-2 usb cable available as envoyboy said on ebay and download the Nokia PC Suite from their website it works fine. On a side note don't waste your time on a bluetooth usb adaptor I tried one of those too it worked but was 3 times as slow as the DKU-2 cable.

Yes, but my phone is the 6256I and it does not do that. I wish I could change the settings.
Thanks for the cable info. I wish I could get an answer from Nokia but they never responded to several emails - and they wondered why they have lost a great deal of market share in the US

I spoke to nokia about this...the 6256i is limited no thanks to verizon...unfortunately you cannot reprogram the up and down and right to left arrow keys...I had a nokia before this one which I could do that, however I have quickly learned to get around it through just using the names button and then when search is highlighted pressing the first letter of the person it will jump to that section of the list. The lack of features is due to verizon..this phone is supposed to be geared up to have the UI that verizon has put on the new phones that offer Vcast. They are doing this cause they assume their customers to be less skilled in technology and feel that consistency is the best way.
