dust behind the screen?!?
had the phone for a week. Dust is all up behind the screen already - i keep it in the case, never dirty or dropped... anything. Called popularelectronics where i purchased it and all they said is wait till it gets really bad and then call nokia, and wouldn't honor their return policy
any ideas?
Video Playback and DVD Import Help
What is the best program to use to put dvd's on this phone, granted the screen is already in landscape mode shouldnt make a difference cause thats how the playback is in all nokia phones whether it reorients it or not, but the screen size is 2.36" instead of 2.4" on this phone....
DVD Catalyst still a good one? they dont really have a drop down menu for symbian phones. Any freeware to get the job done?
Re: Has VGA screen but downrezzed to QVGA
is it really?? I have one right now. Do you think there's some sort of software update or hack I can do to get that resolution out of the phone? Maybe in the near future???
Re: Changing the n80's operating system??/
yes, just do the software/firmware updater. It will tell you your software may or may not be up to date, but even if it is you can reload the firmware version you already have and select the english language and you're set
Re: N80 3G?
If you read through all of the posts for this phone on this very forum, you should be able to find the answers to almost all of your questions you are asking especially concerning the Nokia N80's 3G capabilities. Also, phonescoop has very extensive explanations on American 3G networks versus European bandwidths - including equipment compatability and even definitions and visuals.
Phonescoop has proved to be a very useful tool for anyone looking to do some reasearch on a ...
N80ie?? what about us?
On the Nokia USA's website on the upcoming handsets tab, there shows a N80ie. Yes, this would be the internet edition of our phone, where there is no physical difference, just software.
My question to anyone out there who has some input at all is:
WILL US N80 USERS BE ABLE TO UPDATE OUR PHONE SOFTWARE TO BECOME THE N80 INTERNET EDITION, OR ARE WE SCREWED?? i know they already have done updates to the n80's ...
E-TEN Glofiish X500 - Is there a keyboard??
Ok, this phone looks super bad a$$!! but but but, is there no slide out keyboard on the darn phone, or is it just me not finding it, i google'd it , yahoo'ed, anything'ed it and i can't find a picture or thread or review that claims the phone to either have a keyboard that slides out or none at all...
Re: Nokia n95
it could be lots of stuff, radio broadcasts in sections, book chapters, anything thats like an excerpt of anything really at all. You can subscribe to them through itunes and has become super popular...
sooo, um, is Jaw3000's E61 stuck on 2.5G?
I know you just clarified it in like 2 or 3 different ways, and i do understand the different reasons... but will his E61 never pick up even that second half of AWS that does in fact line up?
So, i guess what im asking is it ALL OF BOTH OR NOTHING AT ALL?? or will there be times or areas that a European UMTS 2100 will actually work on AWS here in the states? Sometimes even? or just ...
Re: Need Help Please - US Warranty Issue for UK Phone
shoot... that sucks real bad. k a couple questions: where did you buy your phone from/who/when and how. Was it a 3'rd party that may have a separate warranty policy? Did you register on Nokia's site even for the warranty with Nokia themselves?
Aside from that, there is a big long deal that before the software updater begins you have to agree to, and it pretty much protects Nokia from being responsible for errors in this process, which is also ...
Harry Wild everyone! fun facts abound!!!
How do some fun facts for the day sound? Well, I won't take ALL of the credit, it's actually all thanks to HaryWild for bringing it to my attention. Thanks to his rambling, threatening, and distasteful remarks - he has enlightened us once again about just how many morons walk the earth with their lawyers having to hold their hands to cross the streets these days. Motorola can't see into the future? WHAT? Why? cause i know i can... ...
Re: I got some good news, and some bad news...
well, jk, after i finish posting, phonescoop got some more info that may be more accurate... read up
I got some good news, and some bad news...
alright... based on where ive been reading, and also some more info thanks to engadget, i wanted to post some info now that the official press release is said and done. Good news, this T-Mobile isn't messing around with a full blown UMTS/HSDPA 3G network that they have already begun... -- yes, in fact, they had already started somewhat. This will be a quick, fast, and readily available network to finally browse on the 3G network and (possibly 3.5 ...
Firmware update available now from Nokia
just as the news post was made by phone scoop in mid to late-august, Nokia had opened up available firmware updates either "over-the-air" or via-PC, through Nokia PC Suite. I had been hoping to come across more phones as they have continued to expand upon their list of phones with available updates. Just today, I noticed that they have added the N80 to that ever-increasingly larger list. I'll post how well it goes as soon as I complete the ...
Re: T-Mobile Announcement - Good For the N80?
I bet I'm not the only person that is ENTIRELY AMPED about this great news!!! There are some interesting factors that I'm waiting to find out however. That's more or less why i'm looking forward to see what news can be gathered once the actual formal announcement and press release on this topic takes place. As far as I know, most of the "facts" are proven hearsay and are meaningless. I would be sooooo happy to have my n80 ...
Re: "version for the US", har har.
the liklihood of this phone landing in cingular's hands is about the same as was the n80 - it's not happening.
Re: N95 traffic and weather for navigation?
not to contradict you really, but just wondering... if they only tend to officially release it in Europe and Asia, then why is it on nokiausa's website?? Perhaps it will be similar to the N93? will they at one point sell the n95 from nokia directly so we don't have to rely on having to go to indirect 3'rd party dealers??
just hoping for clarification on all this super exciting stuff...
oh oh and one more thing, ... , do ...
Finally, the best phone in the world
I don't care about the price tag... or at least too much. Hell, make it 300 bucks more and i'd still buy it with no regrets at 1G. I don't know if im the only one here that has noticed it (i highly doubt im alone on this one) but no matter how baddd a$$ the phone is and every single company is subject to the same fault: there is at least one major point missing!! This phone marks ...
Re: will the US version support video calling?
try reading through a lot of the already posted forums that already discuss the development of this question. You might find some pretty helpful stuff. Anyways, correct me if im wrong, but as far as the video calling goes, depending on the network you're using, is not going to work ever with the n80. The n80 is WCDMA 2100. There is no such frequency in the states unless NY is super suprisingly awesome that i had no clue about.
Re: Auction 66 - What are your thoughts - Winners/Losers?
alright alright thats cool... there are just a bunch of retarded posts i found all in a row, and unlike you, they were all far from joking... anyways, rivalry is in fact good, and sorry for picking on you over others. Thanks for the "non-indecent" reply as well.
Re: Auction 66 - What are your thoughts - Winners/Losers?
Chainsaw... Its interesting how you decided to post a reply to a question, but find the means to do so without once touching upon the subject at hand. Let me say this for starters- there is a time and a place for everything. And there is very rarely a time and a place for ignorance. Try to take advantage of what this forum has to offer and not deface it with pointless you know what. now moving forward, ...
Re: Dissapointed
just a side note - id be careful in assuming a BB bought and sold by a carrier will include WiFi. Just take a look at all the main companies - Cingular, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc. and i cannot even count on both my hands and feet how many devices could/should have had WiFi and that feature was removed before bought from the manufacturer.
Re: How is the Reception?
hahahah - careful, there are good motorola's and "you-know-what" Nokia's... however, i know what you mean. The Reception has proved to be a step above even the T509. Now whether that's saying much or not is up to you. However, the phone has performed well so far in its short lifespan on the streets, and the "high-er to midrange" Samsungs all typically have excellent reception. The one thing im still curious about more importantly is the call clarity, which ...
Re: A2DP ?
yes, the stats do say that it has A2DP. However, there is probably a good reason the phone is only 99 bucks with a contract from t-mobile. I tried to play music through a headset and it wouldn't work either so you're not alone. Im not going to say 100 percent positive that it doesn't have A2DP, but just because the phone is supposed to have it doesn't mean that it will have it. Carriers can sit there with ...
Re: Dear Nokia, please add a2dp to phone lineup
AAAHHH!!! You have no idea the amount of money id pay to get my N80 to have A2DP!!!!
oh boy oh boy!!! = sick phone!
This phone is incredible. Just played with it for a bit. Put my sim card in, made a few calls, put some music on it. Now i want it! Doh! there are too many good phones out there, and my V3i and N80 suddenly seem to need a new friend ... WITH STEREO BLUETOOTH OMG!!
anyways, i dare anyone to tell me that their slvr - that is twice as thick, with a camera not even half as good, ...
Re: Regarding WCDMA 1900 - New Buyers
hhmmm... i dunno. I guess if you're this close and it doesn't kill you to wait it couldn't be a terrible thing to wait for it so long as it does come out this month or at least next month maybe. What I'm thinking is that Nokia isn't going to abandon those who it sold the "regular" N80's to by not providing a firmware/software upgrade, so even if you did get it right now, as I already have one ...
Re: Dissapointed
I don't know how this phone can be such a dissappointment in comparison with that series of old Black Berry devices. This is a, and no this can't be stressed enough, HUGE HUGE HUGE deal for not even new bb users, but any phone consumer in the market for an email phone. Tell me there's no better thing for RIM lovers than a black berry device similar in size to the ever-droolled upon RAZR (not baggin on the RAZR ...
Re: Regarding WCDMA 1900 - New Buyers
your very welcome. Everyone on this site and forum for all of phonescoop is always very helpful even if just asking the right questions. I know ive gotten some of my answers that i coulnd't find anywhere else from someone on this site. Now, to the further questions-
Software upgrades will not help picking up 1900, thats a hardware issue. Just like if you get a phone that only has tri band GSM 900/1800/1900, you cant really do much to ...
Re: Regarding WCDMA 1900 - New Buyers
edit to the end of the 2'nd paragraph - **(probably the only excuse for those who really early on got a hoold of this phone way before it came out and had complaints - like random rebooting and whatnot)
Re: Regarding WCDMA 1900 - New Buyers
I know its a error in using the term "technology" as some may call it including a namely few at Motorola, however, you can always find what "technology" the phone is, its included in the description of the phone (i.e. quadband GSM WCDMA 2100) almost 100% of the time, and if not, look at the box, its under the IMEI label on the white sticker on the side of the box saying if it does have any, it will ...
Re: GPS? Wayfinder Service even promised by nokia? WT-"EPH"
yea, im hoping that will in fact do the trick... only problem is i already own the phone obviously... and im kinda nervous that maybe since its for an "n80i" instead of just a firmware upgrade, will the new software just be included in the new phone only? or will i be able to update the software for my N80 as well!? GoD I HoPe I cAn GeT tHe SoFtwARE UpDatE for MY PHONE TOOOOO!!! :paranoid:
GPS? Wayfinder Service even promised by nokia? WT-"EPH"
"**** Due to deficiencies in the Nokia firmware for the N80 this device will not work with Wayfinder’s products until an updated firmware is released. Please come back soon for updated news!" -- This is on the link from wayfinder's us site - "http://www.wayfinder.com/products/compatible _phones.us.php?link_id=spot"
I emailed Nokia and they said they have no clue and are looking into it... this phone is definitely for "BAMF's" (ive been listening to too much Dane Cook lately..) and it rocks the house, but ...
Re: Quantum Concepts
hahah wow... maybe its an expensive but nice picture of an n80... lol naw nvm i don't even know it just sounds outrageous, but cool if true, for those of us who havent broke the bank for this piece of art already.
Re: N80 for Cingular
"Ever hold a ten megapixel cameraphone? Naw, neither had we, not until today anyway. Straight from the floor at CeBIT, we've got the Samsung SCH-B600 with an integrated 10 megapixel shooter. It's never gonna come anywhere close to the US or Europe so nuzzle up to your monitor real close-like and take in this beauty. Click on for more pics." - Engadget Mobile
Directly taken from the site you just posted... good luck assuming its coming to cingular
By the way ...
Re: N80 for Cingular
No, none of these questions are ignorant... lol no worries. Ok, now if and when you buy the phone, here are some things to consider as well as be able to tell which "version" the phone is. You will most likely save money if you buy from ebay, but keep in mind there arent guarantees on the product, there will be no warrantee, nothing. Im not saying there are no such thing as good purchases out there on ebay, ...
Re: Helio....
its a CDMA phone that works on Helio's network, so nope no SIM cards. SIM cards are on a GSM network phone. if you read closely on the post for the helio phones by eric, you'll see that it says that if you dont have an account you either have to start one or get them to activate the phone on an existing helio account - kinda a giveaway, but yea, if you've never heard of it, there ya ...

Re: August Giveaway #4 (1 of 2): Helio Hero
Sweet, I'll take it if I can!? woot woot
Re: N80 for Cingular
oh.. and a quick add-on to what i said earlier - 3 HUGE pluses of the N80, well i guess if you value these 3 things as i know i do = the screen resolution is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, crystal clear and easily maintained. Webbrowsing is sweet as well. The text is fit on the width of the screen even though they are able to maintain "real" web-browsing (watch the video review, its darn cool). Lastly, especially since i have ...
