True. I thought with Tango they would have tried to enter the Caribbean with the 610 etc sooner rather than later. Guess we still too small a market for their immediate attention.

Loyal Nokia e51 user checking in.... 4 years and the phone going strong... battery prolly at 80% original capacity, one of the keyboard backlights gone, and the rubber side keys mashup, but the phone strong as ever, solid metal construction....

i just wish nokia hadn't messed up symbian... T_T

ouch!!! Been eyeing the lumia 900 as the upgrade to my dell VP (4.3 inch screen vs my 4.1)
Thanks for the app mention also. This is so much better than using internet explorer.

One of the selection buttons in my Nokia E71 is giving trouble. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't.

This happened a few days after I accidentally dropped the phone about 300mm (1ft.) on to my desk. I have re-booted the phone with the factory default settings, taken out the battery, re-loaded the phone software and the problem persists. The phone does not exhibit any other problems after the fall other than the malfunctioning key. So I suspect it my be a hardware problem.

Does anyone know a place where I can take the phone to assess what could the problem be?

Thanks.

WTK: Will the "Phone Only" Lumia 900 option on Amazon be able to work with a local SIM? (i.e. is it an unlocked phone?)

I'm seriously considering getting it and that's the only thing holding me back now :-(

original_lollybob · Postby **original_lollybob** » April 16th, 2012, 6:39 am

Is it $450?

If yea... Then yea it's unlocked

Driven · Postby **Driven** » April 16th, 2012, 8:14 am

didn't see them explicitly saying "unlocked" so I had some doubt.. thanks man

Ronaldo95163 · Postby **Ronaldo95163** » May 29th, 2012, 9:31 pm

Looking to upgrade guys..

Looking at the E6/N8 (with Symbian Belle)...Reason for the E6 is that I want something with a Physical keyboard as it's easier for me to type and it's faster to type with, I've had experience with typing both on Physical and Virtual keyboards from Nokia handsets(E71 & 5800) however the 5800 has a resistive screen so i'm not sure how typing on a capacitive screen is

On the other hand the N8 has a larger screen, 12MP camera with autofocus better media capabilities (hdmi output etc..)...I would have considered WP7 phones but only way i'd buy one is it's the Lumia 800/900(which are pretty expensive)...the others really don't appeal to me that much

So it's between the E6 and the N8

then you need to head over to the misc section.

original_lollybob · Postby **original_lollybob** » May 29th, 2012, 10:11 pm

N8 equals awesome... Symbian Belle is pretty great and Nokia has promised to support til '16 but still... There's no app development for it

E6 same as above

If u must do Symbian and you can afford it then u MUST buy the 808 PureView (then call me to see and play with it)

I would recommend either Lumia 800 or 900, even the 710 is a nice phone... but if you can hold off a couple months, wp8 should be out mid June, so the current lineup is sure to fall in price...

But if u going with Symbian, the n8 is the winner. And I think tstt in gb has it for less than 3k

Ronaldo95163 · Postby **Ronaldo95163** » May 30th, 2012, 2:37 pm

808 is over 500 euros

Researched a bit about apps for Belle...there are some compatible and some incompatible

How's typing on the N8 BTW? Is it smooth?

What about the camera on the E6...will it take good pics seeing that it's a fixed focus camera?

original_lollybob · Postby **original_lollybob** » May 30th, 2012, 5:02 pm

Yea it's expensive, but that camera

Can u imagine a Nokia windows phone 8 device with that tech *dead*

Typing is pretty good on the n8... Belle is a good OS yuh know... Sad that it doomed to death

I've never used the E6 so I can't comment

Ronaldo95163 · Postby **Ronaldo95163** » June 3rd, 2012, 10:49 am

Still trying to decide

Really want the E6 but the Camera on the N8 has me attracted to it :oops:

There will be the N8 Successor the year BTW

Ronaldo95163 · Postby **Ronaldo95163** » June 7th, 2012, 11:04 am

Was watching a review of the 701 and they said the typing sucks cuz it doesn't have a multitouch keyboard.

WRT to Asha
