For those who haven't done their firmware update to (for Lumia 800) Lumia 800 1600.2487.8107.12070 here is the link below (at your own risk of course):

Installed this morning, battery significantly went down from around 200mA to 90mA.

Hope this will take care of the battery problem.

Either you :

1. Wait for the update (until it comes to Malaysia Region) - here is a Nokia official Link:

http://www.nokia.com/my-en/support/product/lumia800/

(Its say there an update, but that just nokia updating their websites, remember to turn on your "settings>phone update" on your phone)

2. OR you register a Singpore Live ID (meaning a new live id and all the works... read front page of forum)

3. OR as brother bulkbiz pointed out, you can go to the Nokia Care Center for a free firmware update

4. OR you can do it yourself (which carries a certain risk) as per link below:-

(1 - 4, safe - risky)

I chose number (4), 12 hours ago updated, haven't noticed any error but slightly improve battery life.

Up to you. Hope this helps.

True, but don't you think because a lot of Malaysian are registering a Singapore/Foregin Live ID, in which will make Microsoft doesn't want to support the ecosystem in Malaysia?

My personal opinion is that, if more of us Malaysian register a Live ID in Malaysia, and start using Microsoft services more and more, they will probably provide a better ecosystem/marketplace for us Malaysian. OR is that not how it goes in Malaysia?

My apologies, rather than a reply, just wanted to start a discussion on this.

Agree with bulkbiz. But there are some lights in the tunnel,

1. There are some rumours going on that MS is going to scrap live and zune altogether and make just one MS account.

2. The coming of Nokia Lumia 610. A lower cost hp, which a developing country like Malaysia could definitively take up.

But all this still begs the questions on when?


timoott2000, have you updated your windows 7 or XP SP3?
