Wanna ask.. After upgrading ur firmware do u nid to reinstall garmin? or u just put back the microSD card den can straight use? If dun nid to reinstall den i'll update my firmware asap Btw i tot there's no free garmin? got ahem installer? lol

garmin and other software that install on memory card should be able to use after update...

Coz i scare some of the parts are installed into the system bin of the fon.. just like windows if u format C drive but ur games installed on D drive kenot play coz some of the stuff are installed into the registry..

i'm not 100% sure, but when I reinstalled my firmware, the programs I installed on my memory card didnt show up in my phone. they were still in the memory card and under the app manager tough.

Hmm but the main point i wanna noe is.. can u use/open the applications u installed on ur mem card??

You use pcsuite backup all your stuff then update firmware then restore back as long as u restore The phone memory and card memory it will be fine.

Oh.. didnt noe pcsuite can backup stuffs... okok...thx for the info.!! looks like will update my firmware afterall

Yes you can backup monthly even u lost your phone u can restore that backup stuff including your sms to another Nokia phone.

I own a N73,N82,E71,N96 so all my contact,sms and files i can copy between the phones.


I already updated it 3 hrs ago.

My version now is 200.21.118 dated 27-11-2008 from 100. something

how long does it take to upgrade the firmware using pc suite? looks like gonna give it a try later on..that garmin lock position in a few seconds makes me

i dunno mine lock in few sec even with the previous firmware. After update still same speed.

Download depends on your internet connection the firmware size is about 100mb +++ but update less than 10mins

Make sure nothing happen when update if fail phone cant boot back

Darn it.. just used the software updater to check for new firmware update to install.. cant detect any.. Now trying to change the product code.. hope nth goes wrong

good luck my phone original from avaxx one.

for mine, nope i i cant open the apps coz they didnt appear in my phone after that. but a quick check in the app manager shows that the apps are still there and when I reinstalled them, my phone asked if i want to replace the installations (as all were installed in my memory card)

ohh...my fon able to use program that have been installed before after update..only few app that i need to reinstall

working for me after restore all my application works.

hey guys, i want to ask, is this phone suitable for big finger ? wanna buy...

not suitable the keys very small only.

Thanks for replying guys.. i've changed the product code dy.. now waiting for my fon to be charged to full batt... the nokia updater dun let me update coz not enuf batt Last step dy but still nid to wait.. wuwuwu

I think i got big and fat fingers I just use the tip of my fingernail to type sms. If you want to type fast, need to use both fingers.

Btw Just try to downgrade to Garmin 4.2xx. See how the battery life. Now left 71%. I plug out from the charger at 8am this morning.

Have flash the phone to latest firmware and 15 minutes of gpsing.
