I used Window Live Messenger (ya...Microsoft own MSN Chat) and Fring.. I prefer Fring coz it had "fring call" which I can make voip call. Tried fring call at LCCT and Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) using their free wifi.. not call, clear and not much lag.

Other alternative are IM+, Turbo MSN, Palringo Instant Messenger and many more

I confirmed that Garmin Mobile XT can be use for E71. In fact, I manage to install Garmin mobile XT to 2 nos. E71.

I suspect either (a)U didnt do it correctly or (b)U didnt activate E71's GPS.

For (a),
go to Setting --> About --> if U did it correctly, U will see something like Unlock ID: XXXXXXX. If not, U may need to 'hem' again..

For (b),
To choose which type of GPS positioning method:
Go to Setting --> General ---> Positioning ---> Positioning Methid ---> Choose All except Bluetooth GPS

Let me know if this work
No new firmware update yet...as far as I know.

maxis has both GPRS and 3G..regardless of prepaid or postpaid.

yup that qwerty keyboard is one of the main feature of E71..i wonder how does it feel using qwerty keyboard on phone..gotta get this phone one day hopefully..

just got my e71 yesterday and its superb! the keypad is so nice to use. my fingers not small size, abit worried earlier. but is a breeze using it.

however, i felt that the type of finishing is prone to scratches.

hehe.... time to get the horse working today.

thanks, renee. got it from her.

i believed price wise is pretty standard, rm1390 with 2yrs warranty. furthermore, most places do not have the grey steel. and she has it! hehehe...

btw, anyone tried the Invisible Shield?

you're the first person to be interested. I'll try to get a good deal as soon as possible cos I have frens there who can send it back for me. hopefully I can get a picture as well.

wow, i have to say both looks the same, even the price is the same, but my guess is both are OEM from same factory....
anyone can clarify with me PDair leather case made from where? Do they have a product card or something?

I'm trying to search for it, actually found a supplier online, but the price is actually the same as the Carrymobile brand which led me to a conclusion that they are OEM from the same factory only different brand name. Plus shipping from oversea will cost about RM130 for one leather pouch. Anyway, the one I enquire about is the flip type that I really want to get exactly like the picture.
still trying to negotiate with the supplier.

err.. sorry.. i might have missed it somewhere but can you tell me which website is it please? thanks....

Hi..

can anyone tell me how to transfer my contact list from dopod 818pro to e71? just bought myself a new set couple of days ago. got too many contact list to transfer manually from m y dopod to my nokia e71

anyone please...

different from PDair. this one full leather case. got place to put ur xtra memory card too.. guys..is it normal the autolock got big lock image when the autolock activate?

Anyone know how to not include my messagetone or short sound clip to be included in the music player when i refresh it? I don't want to have the files to be mixed with my mp3 songs.

Mine blinks every 10 seconds or so, and when there's new notification, it blinks every alternate second.

yea, just enable it. anyway, looking for a freeware where i can change the home screen layout. Anyone got any recommendations? I found some but its normally shareware.

I think there is a 3rd party software to create a better layout. forget its name but its not free, its a shareware. However, if you like the layout but just want to change the shorcut on the homescreen, u can do so:-

Menu->Tools->Setting->General->Personalisation->Home Screen->Mode Settings

Then u will see on the first selection is the mode you are in. Preset are either Business or Personal which u can fast switch with the Switch Mode button.

Go under Home Screen App->App Shortcut and u can edit Horizontal shorcut with the big icons. U can remove what u don't use and put in those u use.

The vertical menu however I can't find a way to edit it yet. the most I can do is remove them from the list.

To do this, go under Home Screen App->Enabled App and u can remove those unwanted shortcut. Mine only has 2, calender entries and wireless scanning left.

If you do not like the Home Screen to appear altogether, go here:-

Menu->Tools->Setting->General->Personalisation->Home Screen and under the first selection indicated Active, on selection, the Home Screen will be deactivated and u get a blank wallpaper on your home screen. To put it back on, just do the same again.

sorry, think i misinterpreted your question, I don like the vertical and horizontal view, I want to change it, no particular preference actually, but just want to change the layout until i find one that suits me.

1)The installation normally starts up itself to make it easy for you. First time install will take longer after that, its just routine check for installation files which is only few seconds.

2)If yours is ORI, u better go back to Zitron to get it checked, AP however, then there's nothing much u can do. I personally don have such problems but since my laptop has an SD card slot, I use the SD adaptor to slot in the memory card to my laptop. Easier and no hassle.

3)There is a dedicated phonebook button just to the right of your scrollpad. Once u press the button u can put in an alphabet and the list will be narrowed down. But first u have to get into the Phonebook first. If you are asking about simply putting in an alphabet and hope the list appear on the homescreen automatically, I don think that is available. Otherwise there is no need for the dedicated phonebook button.

Just enable Breathing Light. It looks cool while its breathing.
It is only available to firmware from other regions, but sadly is not available in our local firmware.

actually, i try using Opera Mini on my E71, but everytime it uses EDGE to connect even though I have scanned Wifi connection and already connected. I can only use WLAN when after scanned for wireless I straight enter with Nokia browser. Honestly, I think Nokia browser is an equally good browser cos so far no problems. Opera Mini is just another browser of similar standard but more widely promoted.

I had tried UCWeb, Operamini, Nokia Browser and Skyfire

UCWeb: A lot of add-on ( got own media player), UI a bit bloated, speed also slower (a bit) compare to Operamini.

Operamini: Very user friendly, fast among the 4 mentioned. UI is clean and nice. Can use Myopera to manage feed and bookmard. My choice of mobile browser

Nokia Browser: normal speed, UI is ok. I like their multiple history page back.

Skyfire: Slowest UI, can stand of it.. page also loaded by view area. Like U scroll down to a new area, it will get blur first..then start to load the page...need few secs of waiting...very annoying.
