Bad news, unfortunately... It looks like maps for offline GPS navigation are no longer available for download. In fact, I expected that this moment will come much sunner, but I quess Nokia (not Microsoft) was respectful enough to keep the servers running until this month. But now, finally, they pulled the plug.

Luckily for me is not a very big issue since my all E6's have my maps in them, plus I have a memory card with full Europe, so I can use them with no worries at least 3 more years. :D, maybe 5 years, who knows... :P

But, if there is a E6 lover (like me) out there who wants to backup he's maps, there is a workaround...

Until next time, have a great summer, everyone!

    Becuse I am not a whatsapp user I can't tell you for 100%, but I am pretty sure that E6 does NOT support whatsapp. It's obsolete, it's a Symbian and it's from 2011. Also, E6 was born dead. :) But my E6 works for me like a charm. :)

          thank you guys for the answers (for flickering).
          i think it is related to the overlays (that means, it is related to the Open... programming layer), with Belle Refresh and with automatic brightness control. This is indeed with 100% brightness.
          I initially thought that maybe some electrolytes are going bad but in this case the problem would not be related to transparent grey overlays (like in the Messaging app in the right side).
          Anyways, I really enjoy having this phone for calls, SMS and e-mails. It is possible to use Facebook but without Facebook account it is easier to live ;)

Don't worry about you English language, I'm not British too! :))

But is really not a problem, because it can be seen very hard and only indoors, and if you have maximum brightness indoors, it can hurt your eyes. Speaking of eyes, I think your brightness settings are too low. Or maybe is just me... But, don't forget that you have a very small screen, with big resolution. Personally, I use my phones with level 4 of 5 in brightness all the time, font size is on normal and I use a default dark theme.
              If I'm in a very dark room, I use brightness control with Extra Buttons app or I use a app called "Brightness", if I want more lower brightness...
              About the screen, sometimes I want to never turn off the screen (for example when I connect my E6 with my tv + keyboard), so I use a app called "AlwaysOn". Also, this app turns off my phone lock code. So, when I'm at my home and I use my phone alot, I use this app to open my phone quickly and I lock the screen with a simple swipe with the help of brilliant brilliant Belle Extra Buttons app.

              PS. Sorry for my poor english.

Also, I can see it only indoors in front of a big light, or if I turn the screen at full brightness manually, but it's hard to see it.
                  Personally it doesn't bother me at all because this scenario it's extremely rare indoors.

                    does anyone have a slight flicker when full brightness. For example, with standard theme, in the standard messaging app, the gray areas are slightly flickering (barely, but still).
                    For example, in Opera when you open menus, the gray areas may flicker a bit.
                    I have two E6-00's (original are both), both are having this behaviour. The flickering is just slight, but still, I would like to know if this is common.
                    I have Belle Refresh installed on both devices.
                    BTW - if you are looking for grey E6-00 with scandinavian keyboard then I can sell.

                      Thanks for the battery advise, my batteries usually last long, so I don't have to charge them often - once eventually twice a week!

                        PS. One more thing about the battery: avoid charging it when is hot/cold/big humidity. For example, when is winter and you came home, wait at least 2 hours before charging it...

                          Initially i tried to install it without changing the date, but it didn't work, so I had to do it the other way, may be I was lucky! :)
                          I know about the 'slider - torch function', but I really don't like it! They should have use simple button to turn ON and OFF the phone and for the torch - app or extra button, like all new GSM's have!
                          Where do I find this torch app?

                            Now,
                            As far as I know, all apps are compatible between Anna and Belle.
                            Good to have Extra Buttons, congratulations - is a must-have app for E6! Very intresting the steps you took to install it, but I think you was lucky, I tried myself to install it with your method a minute ago with one of my E6's, but it didn't worked...
                            Anyway, about the torch, personally I use a little app called "BelleTorch". Open it, then press the select button - that's the fatest way to use this app.
                            About the slider, I guess you knew that you can activate the torch even when the phone is locked. ;)

                              I've downloaded the the extra buttons app and it works just fine on my ''Belle''. It was simple installation: changed the date>phone OFF>removed SIM> restart> install - job done! :)
                              Then I decided to do one experiment and see if the app will work on my ''Anna'' - same steps and the result is: Same fine working app! :))
                              I only wish that there was a torch icon, so I wouldn't have to touch the slider at all!

                                More info about this app (with screenshots) :
                                http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/flow/item/17134_Belle_Extra_Buttons_gets_huge_.php

                                It's pretty easy o find it, but a little tricky to install it. For example, go here: http://www.n8fanclub.com/2013/09/nokia-belle-extra-buttons-for-nokia-n8.html

                                Tips to install it:

                                a:) install it now, with today date, probably will not work, then go to plan b;
                                b:) change the date to 2011 or 2012;
                                c:) last solution, that is working pretty sure but is kind of a pain: hard reset your phone without sim card in it (make a full backup first in file manager, including your settings) with *#7370#, set the date 2011 or 2012, install the app, then put your sim card, restore your backup etc.

                                Mind you, that all third-party apps look like 15 years ago, but so is the phone, so no problem here. :)

                                Tell me how it went.

                                      I understand, now everything seems all right for me. In fact, E6 was such a big failure in terms of sales for Nokia, that Chinese had no reason to clone this model.

                                      About wifi, keep digging, Belle is pretty reliable with wifi, I had no problems. Yes, sometimes the wifi power saving is switching off by itself - wich is really stupid and i I didn't found the cause - but it happens 2-4 times in a year... And my in use E6 has wifi on almost all the time. By the way, if E6 had oleophobic coating it was too good for me. :)

                                        Thank for the hints, I’ll see what I can do with the WiFi!

                                        I didn’t know as well that they have made the phones in Mexico, but that’s what is written on the label. The keyboard is Spanish, it has only Spanish, Portuguese, English, French and Dutch languages. So I guess the phones were made in there for the American market.
                                        The phones came with foils on the screen (with silver corner, so I guess original Nokia), the silver phone (Belle) had also foil on the back covering the camera, and on the left, right and central buttons, ‘Anna’ (black model) came with only screen protector.
                                        They are single SIM both, but I’m using each of them with one SIM - 3 mobile (Anna), Lycamobie - (Belle). I live in the UK.
