oh, thought u got an unlocked e65? crap, is that a voda one?
Posted by Dogmann
@Miss uk
You don't need to unlock it but you can easily debrand and flash it with generic firmware, but you will lose the Voda shortcuts and links.

marc any idea to use e60 as a wifi modem with a laptop?
Posted by Miss UK
Yep it's a Voda - Phone @ Bobafett
Marc, I know how to do it as ive done the same to my N80,
however the Branding does not bother me theres not much on the E65,
was the N95 covered was it?
i'll do a review of the E65 later found my digital camera
and charged raring to go
I found my Cab tone lastnight for it via Nokias website on the phone,
I was quite chuffed by that
lol and I found the "Knight Rider" theme via MOSH,
i'll pre-set that to my mate I think
Posted by BobaFett
is wlan wizard installed u did u installed it already? also u can run many great apps from other e and n series fones. did u tested maps?
Posted by Dogmann
@BobaFett
Sorry no idea about using your phone as a WiFi modem with a laptop but i would of thought it would be better to just buy a USB WiFi dongle for the Laptop.
Also i have to say i have never needed to use the Wlan wizard as at Home just defined my Home Router as an access point and when out just connect to a unlocked Network as needed.

@ Bobafett.
I have tested Maps out its installed on the phone nicely,
runs just like on the N80 btw
Themes are a problem for this phone none seem to install of MOSH even if you change the date they don't install
theres not many themes for it "Mocha/Blue dots" or the 0riginal Nokia 1,
ive just left it on the "Vodafone Buisness theme" which is Grey and has a Map on it bit boring I know
btw I done a review see here

e61 or e61i???
not fussed about camera at all, and have an offer for bth with just 10.00 difference... I'd just like to know about the i's d-pad compared to the e61's stick which worked well for me?????
Posted by BobaFett
well, i would go for the e61i, better keypad imo ( more space between the keys ) and the keypad is very good. e61 joy wasnt really for my taste
Posted by suhlman
thanks bobafet,
but hmmm????????? I happened tpo love my e61's joystickm but I hate the dpad on say the n95...dilemma!
might try and borrow an e61i before I decide...
Posted by strecker
Go for the i! The dpad's nothing like that wheel of fortune they slapped onto the n95 (what a way to ruin a great phone! Almost as if they tried)!
It's a fine if small upgrade to e61...
Posted by mob453
I just setup up an access group with priority for my home broadband connection first, then my data connection on my network.
that's my connection sorted, still using truphone for free calls.
Posted by GUCCI.011
I think Joystick of E61 is great, E61 and N91 joysticks work great. I sometimes use my Dad's E61 and i love the UI speed, Feel, look, weight and size of E61 very well balanced IMHO. I haven't tried the E61i though so no comment there.
Posted by BobaFett
would e60 screen fit the n91?
Posted by Miss UK
Boba I mema you mentioning about the new 2.0 Version of Google Maps with GPS have you got a link for it so I can go to it and download it to my phones?
Posted by mob453
google maps. www.google.com/gmm
Posted by BobaFett
its also shown on google search site, download googlemap, its right above the search box
Posted by Miss UK
Got it
I had to rest the phone cos every 20mins or so the display would light up is that normal? never used to do it before
ive lost all the GPRS settings for Vodafone anyone know how to get them sent to the phone without having to manually doing so?
Vodafones sites down Ive requested them but there not coming thru
I managed to scratch the phone by flunging my Jacket down on it the zips caught it and marked the earpiece
Posted by BobaFett
get the settings fromt the nokia.com site, operators use it too. just right down the code when its requested
Posted by Miss UK
Tried it but settings don't come to the phone.
I phoned up Vodafone and have been told it needs a softwear update,
i'll take it into my local shop tomorrow,
i'll try and get them to replace it as ive a letter stating from 21st November,
I can cancel my contract etc, im hoping they will do that instead of placing it for a softwear update lol
using my N80 atm prefer that anyway
Posted by BobaFett
so e65 isnt really the winner then? well, if u right that u prefer n80
Posted by GUCCI.011
@ Boba
Im sure you could fit a E60 screen in to N91 they are the same dimesions, it would be a great idea!
@ Miss UK
Sorry to hear your E65 giving you problems. After playing with one i also prefer N80, the only Eseries phones i would prefer over N80 would be E70 and E90

Posted by BobaFett
yeah, but will the hardware accpet it too? did anybody swapped screens among e series already?
Posted by Miss UK
I actually prefer the N80 i'd much rather wish I had that 8GB N95 though
I took my E65 into a Nokia service centre and they couldn't update the software for me even though it's available,
apparentley it's all down to Vodafone that the phone can't be updated presentley gotta wait for them to approve it so they said
Posted by BobaFett
u should take maybe another fone then... probably that crap voda fw ruins the fone...
Posted by Miss UK
Just gets better Superluminova has advised me that Vodafone ain't planning on bringing a update out for the E65
Posted by BobaFett
maybe u should take another fone then... also wondering, what if u would unbrand it and use it with generic fw
Posted by mob453
i'm waiting on the e51 to become a bit cheaper.
i can imagine the n91 firmware only using the top right corner of the e60 screen if it was swapped.
Posted by BobaFett
e51 is a great fone, a friend of mine is very satisfied with it. great features and very good standby time as he reported me
Posted by Dogmann
@Miss UK
Nemesis is your friend !! trust me dump the Voda branding and it will be like a completely different device, as although the branding didn't look to bad on the N95 8GB once debranded the differences are huge if you are going to keep it it really is well worth doing. It is also really easy and simple to do actually it is quicker and easier than upgrading the Firmware if you need i can send you a really good guide just PM me an E-Mail address.
Marc

It would be stable if I did change the product code then download the latest firmware, however it will loose all the Vodafone branding and im sure if I develop some fault later on then Vodafone might refuse to fix it.
I done this to my Nokia N80 I turned it into a IE and it lost all the 02 branding as such, didn't really care as it was a eBay handset.
but that E65 is brand new and yes I gotta use till 2009 lmao!
even if I did sell it,
it wouldn't get me much there £100 brand new on eBay presentley.
Posted by BobaFett
just debrand it and if there is sg wrong, u just change the product code and flash it again with voda fw
Posted by Miss UK
Can you actually re-download the Voda firmware for free again though?
btw im gunna test it out see how it goes, my old handset froze up on the first week, then by the 14th day it had other issues re-booting, loosing sound
Posted by BobaFett
well, j.a.f box or mt-box incl voda fw too afaik, but not sure in that with those boxes u can alwasy flash your fone
Posted by Miss UK
i'll see how it goes over the few days Bobafett i'll use the E65 then go from there
Posted by BobaFett
why dont u give it back and take sg else?
Posted by Miss UK
I can't had it over 14 days
beside that I want a N95 but there wanting £200 for it,
I would rather not get myself into any debt over a phone lol
Posted by BobaFett
the n95 8gb battery fits perfect the e65, so if u want more power, just swap the batt
Posted by GUCCI.011
Wish it was like that for the N95 Classic.
Posted by BobaFett
still no news on any new e series fone? e51 is nice, but i miss one big big screen...
Posted by Miss UK
The battery lasts ages, started using the phone late lastnight thought i'd take it out with me, no probs what-so-ever and the battery still remains fully charged
im hoping this one doesn't let me down
btw this phones Mocha brown the other was a Black 1
Posted by BobaFett
u got many apps in it? what do u use usually?
Posted by Miss UK
Bobafett haven't had a chance to download any apps, I want to put Google maps on it and Virtual radio thats if I can get it to work on this phone
Posted by BobaFett
at least u shold try fring imo. and also by an chance get n95 8gb battery, will work fine with e65
Posted by Miss UK
So far no probs however I haven't used wi-fi yet,
I think the last phone caught a virus
the N95 8GB uses same battery as the E65?
Posted by BobaFett
actually not, but it fits it
like the n-gage high cap batt fits som other models aswell
Posted by Miss UK
Whats the Model number for that 8GB Battery Boba any ideas?
darm the camera is really bad on E65 why couldn't they add a flash for it,
im stuck with this phone till May 2009 I better not take it on holiday with me then
Posted by kwabs2006
any e51 lovers?
Posted by BobaFett
@miss bl-6f is the battery type and actually the e65 cam isnt that bad, but as u know, e series are focused on biz, so the cams are there only for fun.
Posted by Miss UK
it seems very grainy indoors on the pics,
the battery for the E65 is BL-5F..
I like how Nokia hide the Memory card in the phone by the sim card,
just hope maybe the E70 is somewhat better with the camera btw...
