Hi. Do you need antivirus software to protect your smartphone?

What about reading email with virus attachment on the phone? Or surfing to some virus infected website?

So does Nokia provide any anti-virus software preinstalled on the new phone?

Thanks. Knew about the .exe etc in PC but not the .sis etc in phone.

ha. may be Nokia can go teach Microsoft a lesson or 2. With Windows, virus is top on my list to be careful about.

If we buy AP set, can we still download update software and maps from Nokia website?

Assuming I have all my contact numbers and to-do-list in my calender in some Microsoft Words or Excel format. Is there a way to transfer those information to the new phone?

Hi. I got a E52 but this thread seems to be more active so asking this wifi question here.

I am not sure whether it is the phone or my wireless router the problem.

Sometime the phone can detect my own router but most of the time, it can't. But if I switch on refresh with the WLAN wizard, it can detect routers (for example Router-A, Router-B etc) belonging to other people's. Sometime only Router-A and not Router-B and vice versa. Any idea what's the problem?

Here's another newbies question.

Assuming I found XX WLAN in a public area or Starbuck and I wanted to go online. Select "Start web browsing" and it asked for "WLAN Network name". What name should I put?

Thanks

I used Nokia Ovi to transfer and couldn't find where it is on the phone either. Pressing "refresh" solved it.

Hi. A question on email using the E series. I can download email etc but I can never open any of the attachment with the phone. Does not matter whether it is JPEG or Words or pdf format or whatever. Any idea?

Thanks

With Maxis, you have to give them a call and they send you an SMS and you saved that SMS into your phone. Only then can you receive MMS.

AGPS cost about 10 or 20 sen each time you connect. And it only takes a few seconds to locate the satellite.

Without AGPS, I can still locate the satellite but takes much longer. Ranges from 1/2 to 5 minutes.

For Maxis post paid, the charges are 1 sen per KB of data. Each AGPS request is worth <5KB or <5 sen. Not sure of other Telco or pre-paid.

Your best bet is to set the phone to seek your permission 'EVERY TIME" it wanted to get data from the Telco. That way, you can decide whether to allow it or not.

From my experience so far, once it has a lock on the satellite, it will not make any further request for satellite location data from Telco. But if you switched off the GPS and then move to a different location, it's a different story.

Again from my experience, if you keep your GPS on for too long, it will very quickly suck dry your battery. So it is a case of leaving the GPS on all the time or turning it off and when arriving at new location, use AGPS again and pay 5 sen more.

IMO, if Internet is your main priority, you should not be looking at the E72. You should be looking at the iphone or phone that runs on Window Mobile or Andriold. My 2 sen. Those have much bigger screen and moving through the menu is like night and days in term of ease.

Got something I still haven't figured it out. How do you set the phone remind you of someone's birthday every year?

Ignore me if I don't know what I am talking about. Have you tried pressing Key "5" first?

Have anyone tried switching on their GPS continuously and know how long does your battery last? Assuming it's a new battery and fully charged. 4 hours? 8 hours? 12 hours?

Can you geo tag the photo? If yes, how?

I had the same problem with the E52until I found out there are certain symbols that the phone don't seem to be able to recognize/accept. For example, symbol like #@*&^% will not be accepted. Once I use plain vanilla ABC and 123 as password, no more problem.
