Anoop, 03 Nov 2009Hai all, I bought this phone last week,after reading the co... moreI can see you have come from a myriad of phones. Dont despair. Please soft reset your phone by typing, *#7370#. Or you can do a hard reset by switching off phone and pressing, multimedia key, power key, key 3 and star key all at the same time and then the phone will come on and give you a list of countries to set your location. That way you know the hard reset has worked. I had the same problem with version 11.049 then upgraded to 20 which works like a breeze. I know there is version 30 available but i dont want to upgrade coz i have read nothing but problems in ver 30. As of now, 20 works for me and am content.

    Anoop, 03 Nov 2009Hai all, I bought this phone last week,after reading the co... moreWell, above anything do a backup first, ok
    Try a hard reset by typing *#7370# or by holding * 3 green(call button) and power while phone is off. I suggest you to format and derfrag your memory card aswell. You could reinstall your current firmware if you dare.
    Sad really, I sold my n79 v11 recently and never faced major issues. I just didn't liked it.
    I have an N82 now, and never looked back.
    Hope I was of any help.

        i think the fm transmiter is the best thing in this phone . you can on the radio and set to fm 100.00 on the radio and on your fm transmiter at mobile at the mp3 option and set to the same fm and play the mp3 . nice experince

                          i bought this mobile about 15 days ago after my n81 i have been used around 12 device and its my hobby but i obserbed that this phone has everything lyk TV OUT 5megapixel camera,Navi wheel good on net browsing and its camera quality very sharp specialy in night you can caught fare photo
                          just because its NOKIA's FP2 mobile and its easy to operate also in conclusion it can make your all wish
                          BUT ITS MAJOR FAULT THAT YOU CANT HACK THIS DEVICE SO YOU CANT DOWNLOAD MANY GAMES AND SOFTWARE FROM NET ME TO TRYING FOR MANY DAY BUT RESULT ONLY A ZERO SO I AM GOING TO RE-BUY A MOBILE AGAIN ON 5,000 Rs DEFICIT
                          so and the end its also a good mobile if you are not interested in software if you are
                          than i suggest you to buy NOKIA N82 its my persional opinion thanks

                              and yes you can update by the phone it self but your
                              but this will cost you gprs usage from you network provider. unless u do it by wireless.
