yes. i can confirm this. your phone has to be on the correct product code to support chinese, and for Nokia's, it's the APAC region codes that support chinese..

not neccerssarily..

what was your previous product code before changing it with NSS to update your firmware? cross check it with the product code list and see what you come up with.

if it came up in the plain vanilla edition's list, then most probably you've been cheated. otherwise, if it came up on the internet edition's list, then your region could have been different. and afaik, not all regions are given firmware updates..

well.. if your set's a AP set, it will usually not have the same IMEI number as the box.. but als long as the IMEI in your phone and the IMEI written in your receipt is the same, you should not have anything to worry about..


are you on the APAC/HK region's firmware? if you are, it's normal to have a different font from the European firmware's..

it's normal.


the N80 does not support A2DP..


well that depends on you. do you like WiFi more or do you prefer a better camera?

WiFi - N80
Camera - N73

yes. updating the firmware does indeed resolve the lagging issue. but that's just half the story..

the "lag" does not only come because of your firmware, lag will also be apparent when you store too much images/mp3's/applications..

so, in conclusion, how bad the lag is in your phone, depends on how much stuff you store in it..

well if you've got cash to spare, the N80 is indeed a good buy for a phone with WiFi..


rubbish. utter rubbish. who told you that?


through infrared?


yes. afaik, changing to a faster memory card will indeed improve the speed.

yeah. but the range..


yes. agreed. plain Kingston cards are no doubt cheap, but their speed is just unbearable.

i would recommend Kingmax cards, or even Kingston's 120x Ultra Speed line of cards.. but if you fail to find any of these, any card which has a rated speed of 120x and above should do it for you.

whoa. loose ribbons?

but by simply changing the product code, you can change it to whatever firmware you want.

um.. check the N73 thread. i've written a guide. however, don't follow those codes. they're for the N73 only.
