I've tried installing FP2 theme. Everything worked well except that the FP2 theme features such as the horseshoe menu style etc will not be available.
*
U did?? But tis phone is FP1 topped up with some FP2 features, so wad are the EXTRA features that you are getting with Fully FP2? Besides, the E66 is special in a way that it's got features nt available in pure-FP1 or pure-FP2 symbian phones..wad happen to yours?

I really have no ideas what are the "some" FP2 features on the e66. All I know about the FP2 was the menu being different. And yeah..I didn't bother to check it out oso..haha  rclxub.gif . When I've installed the FP2 theme, everything looks the same except that the menu style which was highlighted at the site hosting the theme never showed. Or is there any of the FP2 features that I should look into? What are the special features on e66 that are not in pure-FP1 and pure-FP2 eh?
*
very hard to list them down, if u wanna know its in the reviews website links from main page. But I'm curious bout how u can install FP2? Coz I cant find anything about converting FP1 to FP2 on the net. As I know, all phones are designed specifically for the OS version and not meant to work with other versions due to the hardware specs.

I'm not sure on that. All I see was that the theme was listed as FP2 theme by the author and they have the menu style screenshot. I downloaded and gave it a try to see if the theme can be installed on my e66. It was successful, but with the normal menu. The stylist menu never showed up. Or maybe the theme isn't really a FP2 theme...hmm...
*
Bro..if its an "FP2 THEME" theme, then I think what you've downloaded is only a normal theme. Not FP2. FP2 is an upgrade software, not a theme.

hi all, i'm planning to buy a E66 oso but i juz cant make up my mind whether to buy AP or original set...
i heard that original set can let the buyer to replace the casing of E66 without any charges if still under warranty, is this true???
*
It depends on which AP company u'r going for, coz different APs give different warranty period for different parts i.e. phone, lcd screen, battery etc. I not sure if Ori distributor will replace your casing even if it's still under warranty..u need to confirm this with your supplier.

This phone looks nice!

I wonder about the battery life of this phone.  How long does the phone last for just a few calls and some sms?

I'm really considering this phone.
*
If it is common usage, the phone can easily last for 2~3 hours. But if u'r a heavy WiFi and GPS user, perhaps 1 day or less...its a compromise for a slim and slick phone blush.gif

IM works definitely, coz I've tried it..but its even better if u try using Fring - its a great IM software! rclxms.gif PTT should work, but never try..

QUOTE(bimmer @ Nov 21 2008, 05:44 PM)
Has anyone used the Podcast and Radio on the E66? I am not sure how to use it.
*
Podcast if for downloading online sounds and videos, but I think you need to subcribe to certain favoured channels to hear the songs and watch the videos..

For Radio, just go to Radio and search for the right frequency..

Got my phone today, hurray rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif . You may add my name into the list :

kwkean - [22/11/08] [AP] [Grey Steel]

Btw, do your battery cover ok ar? Mine generate some click click sound when I press on it. Press a little bit harder you can see it go in and out at the lock socket area. Is this normal ar? Other then that it is solid as the cover didn't move left or right.
*
added to the list d, welcome bro!! rclxms.gif

ur battery cover definitely not ok ler, it shud be solid and no creaking at all. Try take it off and snap it back again..I think probably you didnt fix it properly..

i onli talk phone about 1hr at nite onli...
den nid to charge every nite...

try 2 follow fong82's advices, and at the same time check if you have any running apps in the background (esp GPS, Wifi etc)..make sure you properly close all running applications whenever u'r not using them.. blush.gif

QUOTE(fong82 @ Nov 24 2008, 09:06 AM)
In my view, there are several ways u can do:

1. Check your phone battery whether it is original or not.
2. Reduce ur light sensor (Setting -->General ---> Personalisation --> Display --> Light Sensor) [High light sensor consumes lots of energy]
3. Charge ur battery when only one or two slots left. Protect your battery. [I heard this advice from my gf]

I also need to charge my phone battery during the second day as I spent lots of time on investigating my phone previous night.  Anyway, I still fail to set my MMS setting.  Hopefully someone can help me asap!

If my views got anything wrong, please correct me!  Thanks very much!
*
Bro, wad did Digi said about ur MMS? For my case, when I start my phone at the first time, it runs the setting wizard and automatically detects all the settings.

how to install themes & software for dis phone ar...?
coz i duno how...
hehe...

The easiest way is to transfer the setup files to your card (.sis, .sisx or .jar files etc), then go to File Manager and run the setup files. Then follow instructions to install.

2nd way is to connect ur phone via cable and run Nokia PC Suite, then install ur software from there.

All this are basics in the User Guide Manual..i'm pretty surprised many ppl dun bother 2 read.. sad.gif

Oh sorry, I mean the earpiece from the phone itself, not the headset sweat.gif . But, it is ok cause I think is my friend's phone problem. I try calling other person and the volume sound better laugh.gif .

Anyway, the battery life really suck, only last for 1 & 1/2 day vmad.gif . Off 3g, Bluetooth and WiFi scanning , off all the unnecessary battery consuming program and below average phone call and SMS (less then 15 minutes and 10 SMS a day). How come yours can tahan 2 to 3 days? My battery come from Korea and assembly in China, could this be the reason behind this bad battery performance?

Sigh man, if Nokia don't come out something good to fix the battery life, I might have to change phone next year when DiGi 3G start cry.gif  cry.gif .

Try theme from this side : http://www.symbianthemes.us

Yup, though it is a business phone but if you cannot fully utilize it due to the week battery performance, better get a more powerful phone especially if you are a hardcore phone user. I wanted to keep this phone till they bring out touch screen model for E-Series but sigh ....... such a lovely phone, what a waste cry.gif .

let us wait for the upcoming E75..the slide phone wit qwerty keyboard..cool..hopefully this new model will fix all the problems with the recent ones, but again nothing is perfect..sigh sad.gif
