What is the best way for firmware update> FOTA or Suite??? (In order to prevent bugs occurs.)

So means a complete update will only done by suite?
Ovi contacts got what use? Facebook addware in phone got what usage? (Seen like nothing much function Bcoz i saw same things when i log in facebook by phone "web".)

ok thanks for the info

You could use I-GPS is you dont want to pay!  Its a little slow in connecting, but once connected not a problem.

Keys, you need to get used to it, unless one has big fingers. Finger nail might be helpful! 

Settings > Positioning > Positioning Methods > Integrated GPS (only enable this and disable others so that it's free to use)

Thanks Heero for the feedback.....but if you want faster connection to GPS, then set AGPS< as soon as you get connected, just disable AGS, and IGPS would continue to serve 

Yeah there are alot of cool stuff in N79, just need to explore or download some freewares    Do you know you can turn on the  camera flash as a night light (torchlight) as well! 

u can use n79 (or all other symbian phone with gps) as gps receiver on ur laptop too...
i ran garmin on my laptop...haha

guys, how long the battery of ur n79 can survive?
i just bought my n79 two weeks ago and i notice that the battery generally last for 2 days only ( even for full 100% battery charge ).
and i only use to online like 30 minutes per day only.
is this normal?

is there any better nokia phones other than this?(touchscreen phone excluded)

is it worth it if i buy this phone next month?or shud i get other model?...

me?i want a phone that has a long battery life,got wi-fi,a quite good we browser & good music player...that's all i think..i just want an entertainment phone...i dun care bout' emel attachment,camera or wateve....i don't know why phone companies lately really like to produce touchscreen phones...it would be hard for me to sms,rite?...n85 specs are really good for me but considering the problems of the phone spreading aound the webs,i had to think twice bout' getting n85.... 

Hi, may i know how you identify the battery is not genuine nokia battery? can provide picture for comparison purpose or not?
i just bought an ap set black n79 last week, and the battery also only lasted 2 days. Normal phone call ard 30mins/day, 5 sms, 30mins music.

depends on which AP company.if the ap company is reliable enough then is ok.im always stick to AP since the company is responsible and reliable enough.

actually its very subjective because the ap company can close down anytime or change management. Ask yourself wats the chance compare to ap company nokia malaysia or nokia international to disappear? to identify ori make sure the warranty are either zitron, avaxx or sapura other than those is ap

ya.even samsung FMG also closed down d.

n97 & n97 mini are not my type....already hav a look at my friend 's n97 mini & it's not really my type,plus the price is too expensive for me....
i got really excited when i saw 5730XM in some articles months ago...but it's too 'plastic' rite?im a tough user btw so its not reliable...

E72!!rocks.

You should try it yourself before judging it so fast. Its big for a reason

To me N900 is a good buy for what is capable to perform. If u put N79 and N900 together and use then u will see the difference.

Here some stuff what the phone can do

Plenty. N900 runs on linux  so if u have knowledge in linux u can tweak this tweak tat all it need is the command or installer. Its still in development they even OC their phone from 600mz to 1200mhz ( at your own risk)  Try drop by a nokia store near you and try it.

1) Amazing graphics quite close to iphone
2) Amazing browser with flash supported no need 3rd party and no annoying lag
3) Amazing 5MP camera
4) Tons of application available to download from
5) Integration of Msn, Google talk, YM , QQ, etc etc without 3rd party but only plugin
6) Support additional decoder like RMVB,FLAC by installing decoder without 3rd party software
6) The screen is nHD.
7) 3.5 inch screen and visible under sunlight when 5800XM do not.
8) High virtual memory
9) Email integration no hassle just put your email address n password it will retrieve your setting from nokia server
10) Can play heavy flash files without lag
11) JHave  Xterminal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_terminal
12) Sms are sorted in conversation type.
13) Design to multi task without lag.
14) Able to sign in all your online messenger 1 click.
15) qwerty keyboard
16) ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX530 graphics  ( Its like a pc with external graphic card better or internal)

and many many more

It took about 1 year plus for 5800 or other nokia phone to get custom firmware imagine if n900 have 1 year with something so powerful imagine how far it can go.

My comments in blue.

You should try it yourself before judging it so fast. Its big for a reason
As I mentioned in the N900 thread before, I already tried it and I wasn't very impressed.

Plenty. N900 runs on linux  so if u have knowledge in linux u can tweak this tweak tat all it need is the command or installer. Its still in development they even OC their phone from 600mz to 1200mhz ( at your own risk)  Try drop by a nokia store near you and try it.
I already have a notebook with Ubuntu in it. I don't really care what my phone runs on, since I intend to use it mainly as a phone, not a development machine.

1) Amazing graphics quite close to iphone
The graphics and touch screen are not amazing. If you want really amazing, try any phone with HTC's Sense UI.
2) Amazing browser with flash supported no need 3rd party and no annoying lag
Many other Nokia, SE and HTC phones already do this since 2007.
3) Amazing 5MP camera
5MP cameras are everywhere. And unless it has Xenon flash, I wouldn't call it amazing.
4) Tons of application available to download from
Tons? Nothing compared to iPhone App Store and Android Market.
5) Integration of Msn, Google talk, YM , QQ, etc etc without 3rd party but only plugin
Same as HTC/iPhone.
6) Support additional decoder like RMVB,FLAC by installing decoder without 3rd party software
No comment, but many phones do RMVB out of the box.
6) The screen is nHD.
No comment.
7) 3.5 inch screen and visible under sunlight when 5800XM do not.
5800 has a lousy resistive touchscreen anyway.
8) High virtual memory
Okay..
9) Email integration no hassle just put your email address n password it will retrieve your setting from nokia server
E72, BlackBerry, HTC all can do this..
10) Can play heavy flash files without lag
Same as point 2.
11) JHave  Xterminal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_terminal
No comment..
12) Sms are sorted in conversation type.
HTC phones do this too.
13) Design to multi task without lag.
So many phones multi-task, except iPhone.
14) Able to sign in all your online messenger 1 click.
That's nice
15) qwerty keyboard
E72, MILESTONE, etc all have this. Nothing special..
16) ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX530 graphics  ( Its like a pc with external graphic card better or internal)
Nexus One has 1GHz Snapdragon.

Yes, add all of the above features and the N900 sounds great. I admit it has potential, but other phones can do most of the things it does, and they weigh less and cost less too.

5800xm is a touchscreen so i won't buy it... 
before this,i am quite skeptical bout e series...i thought i was only for executives or business people the specifications quite good & its battery life is better than n85...
now i hav to choose between e72,n85 & n79.....need some time to think bout this....
neway,do u guys know the price for these models now?
