i cannot seem to find the MSN live messenger installation in "Downloads!" of my phone... i refreshed the list already... but still can't find it... instead, i am using the web-based msn live...
i heard there's payment for it (the msn live messenger program)
is there any package from any telco company providing unlimited data transfer so i won't be burning hole in my pocket each time i log into msn....

I've bought my phone from Sapura... smile.gif under sapura warranty... smile.gif

sound quality and etc... more than satisfied...
picture quality... what else can you ask from a PHONE??? good enough and clear enough... probably can't be competing with n82 as they CANNOT put the best in one phone and so they have to put something a little better in diff phone so that all the phones has a selling point...

screen quality is satisfactory... keypad , slides, video call, battery life... all under satisfactory...

i just love my phone...
hahaha

if can, please do teach me how to get more nice firmwares and etc etc .... smile.gif

got all the apps in my phone now... pretty happy with it... especially msn live messenger... happy.gif
stupid phone can't d/l it on through nokia's Download but i found a link somewhere and managed to d/l it.
rotateMe, flipsilent, light sabre all worked pretty fine but my phone did hang while using light sabre... want to get nokmote but don't have a credit card to donate... any suggestion?

i put the RM15 screen protector from low yat... only screen, no protection for camera lens... so sad... planning to buy the MFSP from singapore... gf coming up from sg soon... weee~!
GPS working fine... pretty quick lock after the 1st time... but then again... very limited street name... can't find all the street i want... any other recommendation for GPS???

using 3G is pretty expensive so i really advice you guys to get the unlimited access or the RM25 package of free 8mb and 0.03 / byte...
downloading progs and etc or msn would cost you a bomb if you don't have one of these package.... $_$ burning a hole in my wallet...

playing around with the theme maker... really nice to be able to customize EVERYTHING in your phone... haha... now... i think i just need a email appl to check my company email while travelling...
playing around with the camera... VERY satisfied... would be playing around with it more... the settings and etc etc...

want to get a proper poach / protector for it... the RM25 fake nokia nseries poach from lowyat SUCKS... haha... happy.gif it looks pretty decent on the top... but actually... SUCKS!!!!!! the holes for all the buttons are out... can't plug in usb cable with the poach connected, charger is just 3/4 in... and everything else...

overall... I AM A VERY SATISFIED AND PROUD OWNER of a N95 8GB phone...

i love this phone... happy.gif
stating this on my birthday... 15/1

nokmote not very good bcos it is VERY sensitive. u tilt a bit ady ady move a lot. Wait til it exit beta version, maybe better.

no need get 3G. free wi-fi connection all around KL. Check the pinned thread for free wifi spots.

n95 8gb does not come with the leather pouch like n95???
*
but still it looks really nice... nokmote... haih... so sad... haha... happy.gif

no need 3G??? i'm always on the move and on the go... i've hotspot and etc etc... but still... can't be always finding for free wifi spots... i might be in a jam wanting to check a mail or just watch youtube on the train or etc etc... happy.gif
99 a monht... about Rm3.33 a day... not bad lo... smile.gif can watch tv and etc etc... but then again... the battery will drain VERY fast...

Happy birthday! rclxms.gif

I felt the same as you when I first got the phone, everything is just so nice, especially the huge screen, watch movie ichiban ler... biggrin.gif
You buy me another one I don't mind do the scratch test... brows.gif

I have no doubt about the quality la, it's just the covered surface not quite enough to protect the whole phone ler...But still it's the very best protector out there currently, and I doubt anything will be better than Invincible Shield... flex.gif

thanks for the birthday wishes... happy.gif i'm really happy with the phone but i want to get the shield also... so hard to get it... have to order online somemore... T_T

Just want to report what I've found in the Nokia shop at The Gardens of Mid Valley...

I played around with E90 and E61i, well, I don't know, even with the same 2.8" screen, E61i's screen somehow looked a little larger than mine... sweat.gif Also, I noticed the screen quality - it's the very first glance of what set E series apart from N series. The screen just look so beautiful, even more beautiful than N95 8GB. Same as E90 (of both screen), the display somehow has the crystal like sheen, just felt so much better, like those seen on ipod classic and nano (or if you've seen high end LCD like iMac's screen you'll know what I'm talking about). Then I look back at my N95 8GB screen, it's like, ok colour nice brightness also very nice, but it just don't have the crystal sheen found on the E series.... sweat.gif

Then hoh I also played around with a dummy set of N82, surprise, screen actually looked bigger than I though. hmm.gif But I didn't play with actual set so there might be difference. hmm.gif Size also very nice, but one handed keypad input is somewhat impossible, it's just far too bottom and all cramped together... sweat.gif Still love my N95 8GB although no xenon flash haha... biggrin.gif
*
E series is some sort the business class of the nokia phone... more executive and etc etc... so it is some how better... i want to get E90 but then again... it looks soooooo UGLY!!!!
hahahaha... n95 8gb is BLACK and its executive look enough with the professional feel and it has all the functions... hahaha

QUOTE(nghj @ Jan 16 2008, 06:05 PM)
back to topic...

N95 8GB roxxx (after N82  whistling.gif )
*
i have to admit... N82 is the next in line that could take over n95 because almost EVERYTHING n95 has / can do... n82 has but it lacks the look and smaller screen etc etc... to top that off, n82 has xenon flash and built in accelerometer for picture rotating unlike n95, we have to install the app to rotate... i've done a review on n82 and i think n82 is really good phone if you're on the lower end of the budget but n95 8gb comes in black... and it has 8GB!!! muahahaha oh well... that CANNOT put the best of everything in one phone right? it would kill off their other phones in line... happy.gif

QUOTE(D-Zire @ Jan 17 2008, 09:55 AM)
hahah...yeah man...i reckon nokia 3310 is the best la...wa duno drop how many times also cant rosak one...someone its so heavy u can use it to throw at stray dogs that come after u
*
talking about all these older phones... haha... i've like 3x 8250 , 3 x 3310, 1x 8850, 1x 8210, 2 x 3210 and etc etc...
haha... all also damn durable... drop don't know how many times... the 8850, i dropped it while jumping over the wall OUT of school...



please do update on any new phone apps ya... happy.gif but at the moment... i'm still looking for that portable charger that can charge your phone for 3 times... its like a mini battery that can be charged up to charge a phone up to 3 times...

11) Open auto_signsis.bat with notepad

Code:
signsis FExplorer.sis FExplorer_signed.sis xxxxxx.cer sultan.key 0123456
(xxxxxx.cer is the certificate you created, and downloaded from Symbian Signed web site change it with yours)

example with this tutorial and the version downloaded :
Code:
signsis FExplorer_english_3ed_116b_unsigned.SIS FExplorer_signed.sis dzed.cer sultan.key 0123456
- save auto_signsis.bat (do not use Save-As just Save)

12) double click on auto_signsis.bat This will create a new file called FExplorer_signed.sis (or whatever you want, just change the filename), install it and enjoy this great App

in this example, you'll install :
Code:
FExplorer_signed.sis
After i did everythg  and i double click the auto_signsis but nothing come out. Can anyone help me? Please

sapura is normally used for corporate / credit card purchase / bank promotions / government officials buying... they normally sell in a bigger number and not one or two units...
happy.gif
avaxx is official SOLE distributor for individuals buying for personal use...

if you were to get free phones from Maxis / Digi / Celcom promotions or post-paid line... you might get sapura phones too if its a corperate deal... like the maxis SME promotions...

Sapura phones can be taken to any nokia care centre for repairs and etc... happy.gif

weee~!
finally i come back into this thread.... GPS works fine on my phone for nokia... if you guys are using original nokia... i think it would be advisable to stick with your nokia maps until your trial ends... smile.gif and i think there is a small premium fee that would last you a lifetime...

pictures pictures.... i've some to share but then... i am quite lazy to post it because it takes time and it is sooo slow... smile.gif
tried taking night shots of sceneray... even with +5 contrast, high iso, and +0.5 to +1.0 exposure... it doesn't give me the pic it want...
it looks sooo good on the screen(display) but when it takes the photo(processed, and saved)... the picture comes out entirely different le... not as sharp / color toning and etc... anyone can help me with this??

oh well... smile.gif
I am Selling Original Nokia N95 8GB!!!!!!
AVAXX / SAPURA!!!!

well...
being in a line of work where you need to have your phone charged up for all kinds of unexpected things....
I charge my phone everyday... it has flipsilent and rotateme(deactivated) in the back. If i use wifi / GPS, by the time i get home around 12am... it would have 3-4bars left... if it is just normal text-ing and about total of one hour call, 12am should have about 5-6 bars...

that day while taking bus down to melaka(2 hours trip), i text, listen to music via bluetooth stereo headsset, and had flipsilent, rotateme on... at the same time i was GPS-ing... started the trip with 6 bars, then listen to music via BT for about an hour... ended up with about 2 bars...

i think, you can set the flipsilent to not run on every flip you do... i deactivated the flip over = silent mode... i just set flip over = silent ringer... rotateME is on but deactivated, would on it if i need to see pics or etc etc...

on average of one day... with about an hour of call, about 15 text, some pics... i have 3-4 bars left at the end of the day... which i don't dare to keep until the next day as i don't want to have the situation where i've no battery the following evening / night

same... i got set to flurorescent each time i take indoors... smile.gif
hahaha
got contrast +3 also
smile.gif

thanks for your advice...

but then... if use 3 days of battery like that... i rather not use the phone already...
no wifi, no BT, no accelerometer... if no 3g also...
seriously, it defies the whole purpose of getting this phone...
smile.gif
if you think your battery life is short... just go charge it every night... afraid of spoiling the battery??? (a battery is not that expensive to replace) and if you're that power saving, get a nokia 1110 or whichever phone that doesn't run on color screen... smile.gif if a phone can be fully utilized and last for a day... i believe it is being fully utilized... if i am trying to save battery so i can last 3 days... i find no purpose in getting this phone... i would rather buy a digital camera with 10MP and can take nicer shots... and get a decent looking phone with BT so i can talk while driving... both added together... still cheaper than this phone...

so...
food for thought

well... how long have you charged? is it your first few days using it? didn't fully charged your phone or you left all your app running in the background without yourself knowing it?

i am think for photo, there is no stabilizer

QUOTE(pigcat @ Feb 2 2008, 02:29 PM)
Yes it's true, it literally allow me to use another 24 hours for light usage.

But don't get me wrong, I do that simply because I live up on the hill and the the GSM signal is quite weak there, let alone UMTS. If I set to UMTS, constantly switching between UMTS and GSM + searching networks will drain the battery like hell. Ever wonder the signal symbol somethines antenna and sometimes 3G cause the phone is searching for the best network to work with, but if you find it's doing it very often better switch to either UMTS or GSM. I don't use 3G so GSM worked fine for me. FYI, missgeek had her phone lasted for 3 days average even with dual mode.

Well, from paper the N96 battery capacity seems to be bad. But no one really test out the real unit and the real life battery life yet, so it is very hard to say for now. And I do not think it is fair for us to judge Nokia just from the paper. You will never know Nokia might throw in a way better battery management chip inside the new N96. With all the latest semiconductor inside the new N96, the power consumption might be smaller than the current N95 8G. I am pretty sure the engineers in Nokia are paid to do some research. I guess we just have to wait and see.
*
i agree on this... but then again... you know... n96 has 16gb of internal.. double of ours... not that i am saying ours is not nice... happy.gif
just stating that it is a revolutionary phone... give it sometime... probably they would launch another n96 32gb or something... haha... battery life would probably last ... but then again... happy.gif i am still loving my phone...

QUOTE(leekweehui @ Feb 20 2008, 05:37 PM)
i still believe ours is the best phone.

anyway, off topic a bit.
my fren lost her phone, and she got a suspicious' number of the stealer. any chance that police will investigate this? i sms-ed the person and threaten him to return or i'll report police, seems like not working XD. any experience from forumer?
*
perhaps try text-ing him that you have the imei number and you can just lock the phone up... or just say smth like you can track him through GPS... hahaha

well...can this phone n95 8GB scan business card like other sony ericcson phone...pls let me know thnx!

i would like to know about this too... happy.gif
