Hi everybody,
I am seriously considering to buy this phone after CNY 2008. Just three simple questions.
1. How big of a MicroSD card capacity can it take? I know it comes with 2GB but what if I want more? Or is 2GB enough if I were to follow the recommended softwares on the first post?

2. Any new issues found with the N82?

3. AP set, anyone affected by weird problem - meaning those in the Original set has not reported / affected?

seems like the black is going to be more expensive? I saw the review on N82 at GSMArena.com and it says the available colors are silver and black. Is black in the Malaysia market yet or not yet?

Right now, in the Malaysia market, is all the N82 only in silver color? From GSMArena.com review, I saw the photo of the black color unit already but on the other news, it said that it is coming soon.

Frankly speaking I am using a N70 black color housing for 2 years and I have seen enough black. Silver is a welcome change for myself. Besides, the black N82 is only coming with 128MB MicroSD and it's more pricey. It's also not in any official Nokia website but only that in the US.

I think I will go with the Maxis offer as posted by chtan, I hope the offer is still open!

chtan,
Is your unit warranty by Zitron?

I took the 150 package as my phone usage is also floating around there.
Just get over to the center and grab your unit, it really worth it and the whole process will only took less than 10minutes.
Oh, and welcome aboard the N82 family.

Yea I will do that on Sat since it's public holidays today and tomorrow.

I have been doing some maths. My bills are about RM150 each month but if with the Maxis 150 Value Pack, my calls will be cheaper and my bill will probably be less than RM150 but yet I have to fork out RM150 for the next 24 months, is it really worth it?

I have decided to go with the Maxis 80 Value Pack. This is also my current pack and I will take the Extra Five service that will make the call cost 8cent per minute and 1cent per SMS to the top 5 people who are also using Maxis. This should be enough for me. I dont mind topping up additional RM200 to pay RM1,888 for the N82.

Isnt that something better? Thanks for pointing out that a black is coming soon in US and probably soon our shores but I will just go with the silver as I have had 2 black phones till now. Kinda sick of black already.

Hi All,

New N82 owner here. It's Saturday and I woke up at 8:30am just to wait for Maxis Service Center to open. I am the first customer of the day, N82 still got stock. I bought it on the spot and taken out to do some testing and play play. Quite an interesting phone indeed!!


Please add me into the Owners List:

I took a 14 minutes 30 seconds video of a lion dance at Subang Parade later. I will upload to YouTube tonight.

Do you guys charge your phone battery for 8 hours before using it for the first time?

So nice the phone and to peel off the screen protector, I feel so sayang.

clsia1001,
Coming to step 18 for setting up my GPS... I followed the instruction: From the program, Goto Settings -> System -> Remote GPS -> Connection Allowed to Garmin GPS devices only.

I do not see Select 'Use Attached/Built-in GPS' -> Enable -> Done. Please assist!

u have to download the keygen,copy your card id into the keygen,generate keygen,copy the serial key,save into notepad as SW.UNL,copy the file to garmin folder.and you'r done =)

How do I find my Card ID?

If my video is 300MB about 12 min long... how do I convert it to a YouTube friendly format to be uploaded and shared on YouTube? Any idea cause I tried Adobe Flash CS3 Encoder, Adobe Premier 2.0, TMPGEnc-2.524.63.181-Free and VirtualDub but none of it works!

Sorry for being such a n00b here, I have another silly question - I was composing a SMS and made a typo. Then I use the navigation key to the typo word and tried to correct it, then suddenly my right key turns into PASTE and I cannot type anything else. Why does this happen? How does the copy and paste function works?

Hi guys, got some questions here:

1. Where can I download themes for my N82?

2. While I was renaming songs - after keying in the song title, how do I tab to the next field, artiste name?

3. Also, when I scroll up in the song list, it auto selects each song... Each time I come to a song I want to edit / play, I have to UNMARK ALL first... Can overcome this?

4. The original pictures in the Gallery that first came with my phone somehow disappeared on the first day. All the picture files turned into filename Manifest for over 100 pictures and size is 7KB each. If I reset my phone, will it come back? If I reset my phone, will it bring any problems to Garmin Mobile XT which I have already installed and will then need to install again?

5. I'm connected to WiFi and I want to Fring. My gf using her e65 is sitting right next to me and she can connect to Fring while I cannot on my N82, why?

Error message: Could not establish connection to the fring network. Would you like to start automatic search?
I click YES and then it says Testing Connection "my network name" (1/1) and it keeps coming back to the error message again.
I tried like 3 / 4 times.

OK, I have Opera and Garmin installed in my Memory Card. I soft reset my phone with *#7370#, then I reconfigure my time zone settings, etc. I realized my Opera and Garmin is still in there because it's installed separately.

Would the Opera and Garmin work like its intended without any problems or do I have to do a re-installation since I soft-reset the phone?

Sorry ya, I'm thinking if we format our PC, we have to reinstall the software kinda thing... Do I have to reinstall these two applications?

OK, some new questions after experimenting with my phone tonight.

1. Google Maps - what does it do? Is it a replacement map to be used with our Garmin app instead of Malsing? Or is it merely just a map, for fun? Which should we download? The .cab or .prc?

2. Expired certificate - what does it mean? I tried to install SmartMovie v3.41 and X-Plore 1.20 and I got this error message. Is there anything I could do about it?

3. ALON MP3 Dictaphone for S60 3rd Edition 2.23 - Buy or download? What's the limitation of the download version? Is this a freeware or shareware?

4. ProfiMail - What's the limitation of the download version? Which web-based (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail) mail services provide POP3 / IMAP downloads?

5. How do I convert the 300MB video taken from a N82 to a Youtube friendly video or any other format? Got software for it?

Thank you! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Pennywise,

Do you feel the heat from your handset for taking continous 12 mins of video. As for me i can feel warm at the battery area for taking 8 mins of video.

Errr... I never noticed any heat when I was taking the video.

QUOTE(chtan @ Feb 10 2008, 12:54 PM)
Just installed the latest Garmin Mobile XT ver4.10.60 with the Malsing latest map ver2.20gold. Work like a charm. No problem lock on the satellite, in fact it is very fast. The map is very detail and the routing is fast as well.

You can find the card id by running the GarminXT, Setting>about. Using the Id to get your key. Save it into a file called SW.UNL (becareful not SW.UNL.TXT). Copy it to your SD garmin folder.

You need another key to unlock the malsing map. Use map id 5061 for the first key and 5062 for the second key to get the map unlock key. With this two key, just put them together (key1+key2 without space in them) and save them into a new file called GMAPSUPP.UNL.
Copy them again to your sd garmin folder and you are set to go.

Remember to register your GarminXT first or you can set to use the internal GPS (default it set to connect to Garmin external GPS unit).
*
Thank you very much... How do I obtain the 2.20 Gold map? Is it through the website?


QUOTE(BBXiong @ Feb 11 2008, 10:34 AM)
let me see, excluding the language select function, it has a very very useful function...mark and unmark
try go into ur video player menu with al the list of songs u have, hold the pen button and press up or down, u can see the songs that u scroll through will be marked
u can use in message also, hold + directional key to mark, then right soft key to copy, if u wanna paste, just hold the pen button again, then after 1-2 secs, the right soft key function will be changed to paste
*
Oh I see... thanks for explaining to me, else I also dont know. I used N70 before this but never used the pen button before. Lolx!

QUOTE(gigohlo @ Feb 12 2008, 01:47 PM)
1. Look or any n95 8gig themes. they shud be similar with n82's.

Have u installed garmin? if u did, it explains Q2 and 3. Garmin somehow screws up the copy paste function, thus, everytime u press the "#" to capitalize a letter, the phone somehow gets screwed up. To solve this, Tab out and back in (press and hold the menu key to tab out and do the same to tab back).

4. Got pictures that came with the phone meh?  hmm.gif as far as i could remember, mine dont have anything inside. IF u reset ur phone, it shud be resetting the intenal memory. Garmin is installed in the extenal one rite? So it wun be affected.

5. The latest Fring is buggy. Its in my opinion la. I also hav problems logging in into fring with other wireless network other than my own one at home. The previous version didnt have this problem. Unfortunately, i still cant find any Fring versions that are lower. I plan to switchback to the older version.

hope this helps  thumbup.gif

Yes, I have installed Garmin - is this malfunction caused by Garmin or it's a bug since the removal of the pen button?

QUOTE(clsia1001 @ Feb 12 2008, 07:10 PM)
well..i'd my phone formatted b4, and the Opera and Garmin I installed still reside in my memory card (What u need is go to app manager and run the program to install the application) then all will do..smile.gif

Dunno about the new firmware with UDP (user data prevention) feature..
*
OK, in the end, I decided to format my phone and my memory card again and then install all from scratch!

QUOTE(Victor3010 @ Feb 12 2008, 08:07 PM)
for the fring...u try to go to the access point thing in ur settings and delete the wifi connection, and u try it again...bt try it with this way...use the Web browser first to make the connection, close it, and open fring again..this way should work
*
It didnt work... Oh well, I think it's buggy and I cannot find any older version. I will wait for the next one to come by. THanks

Does anybody know anything about this mymaxis deal of RM1688 for N82? Apparently bloody maxis locked the left soft-key to "mymaxis" which is some suckass wap portal. anybody knows how to remove this?

plus there is an acute "shortage" of N82 in low yat and sg wang all the low life dealers jacked up the price to "RM2899" - that's a figure they pulled out of their ass.  mad.gif
*
Hiii... The RM1,688 deal only applies if you sign up for Maxis RM150 Value Plan. I signed up for RM80 Value Plan so I got the N82 for RM1,888. I was at RM75 before that. Then I also signed up for Extra 5 - 1cent per sms to 5 maxis no. and 8 cents per min to 5 maxis no.

It can be removed, that soft-key. Just soft-reset your phone with *#7370#.
