Nokia Ranger, reporting in with C7 in hand.

Great device. I like the design more than Nokia N8. Btw, I tried charging and confirm the light next to USB turns on.

Somehow I am more impressed with the Nokia C7 compared to Nokia N8. Am I biased?

Btw, how long does your battery last after a full charge? Mine has still 30% left after about 26 hours. Below is my usage :
- WiFi 2 hour
- music player 4 hour
- running on 2G
- calls about 15 mins
- 10 smses
- 2 app downloads
- GPS navigation about 1 hour ++. (GPS is very good. It detects almost instantly (maybe about 3-4 sec) without data usage.

Now i know why people complain that battery life of Nokia C7 is terrible. Charged full this afternoon and now 2 bar left (20%) after my push email is activated. Haiz...

For me there is no problem charging via 2mm port.

Just be a little stern to them. The magic word will be, "I want to speak to your manager".

Last time when my Nokia 6120c was at the NCC for more than 2 months, that was what I did and the manager personally called me to settle things.

You can also write on Nokia Malaysia's facebook wall about that and also look for their contact form at nokia website to make a complaint.

Worst case, you use newspaper e.g. Malay Mail where they have this consumer complaint thing (not sure the exact name).

Just got your unit?

Does Radiance knows that you are going to send it back?

C7 came just after N8 (immediately after) and all the hardware problems should have been addressed by now, unless you have got a old stock.

I am still surprised that your box is sealed with "AVAXX inspected" sticker because if it has been inspected, it shouldn't even be dead on arrival.

Probably it is time for Nokia to change their hardware manufacturer in China.

Foxconn doesn't manufacture all the hardware for Nokia, do they? The reason for a mobo to fail is not always because of the mobo itself but due to incompatible OTHER hardwares which are attached to it.

Good idea but doesn't work for Nokia. Why?

Because it takes Nokia such a long time to bring a 99.99% stable firmware. There are a lot of phones that I know where even after more than 1 year in the market, the firmware is still buggy.

Based on that, it doesn't make a difference for them by having test runners before they launch their phone.

Probably you should specify who are the photo spammers

Well, Symbian exist for years and yet, they are not able to fix the core issue which is the serious firmware bug. They actually DID make a lot of changes to Symbian but it is still the same as in performance.

Probably, Symbian is just not suitable for today's world. For smart phone beginners, they would have a bad impression about all smart phones if they start off with Symbian.

I support Nokia + WP7

iOS also don't have all that....but ppl don't complain

You will change your perception once you actually try an Android phone (well, not the crappy ones of course)

BTW, the good news - Symbian will not be abandoned, at least for now . So support for this OS still goes on.

Btw nokia has announced that they will migrate all symbian phones to WP7. Not sure how is that possible but it was the latest announcement for Nokia

After reading the article, I realised that the message was, all FUTURE Nokia phones will be on WP7 and no more on Symbian. Damn, must sue the blogger for his wrong title.

Yes, for some time.....so that they can get back their money for the losses. By 2013-2014, Symbian will almost have no support from Nokia.

Two reasons for you to get a blurry picture :

1) shaky hands
2) it is a fixed focus camera phone. Make sure that the photo that you take is within the focus range.

BIS using TRUE push technology. It is not like other OS which claims to have PUSH email but actually it still PULL the emails.

How does PUSH technology works? The RIM server in Canada will pull the emails for you. Once the email is pulled, it will then be pushed to your BBerry phone. Which means, your phone don't need waste its power to do the pulling job like Android, iPhone or Symbian. That is where the battery life is extended. Your phone only connects to internet when emails etc is pushed to your phone.

Also, when that happens, you will save your internet bandwidth as there is no unnecessary connection to internet to check for new emails.

That is the reason for C7 to have a bad battery life when you access email, internet etc.

Probably because those parts at the back of the phone are mainly made of stainless steel rather than plastic and you are feeling the heat because of that.

I also had the same problem with my Nokia E71 last time. I think that should be OK.

Probably you can off your 3G and then use your phone because I realise that the phone gets more hot when it is running on 3G mode.
