But your built-in applications or ROM applications will stay as they are. But if you format the phone memory it is also advisable to format the memory card so as to clean all the drives with the undeleted component files of those already deleted. Be sure you have a back up on your PC of all your user data, media files and softwares as you cannot recover them once you format your phone memory and memory card.

        David, 29 Apr 2009Hi, my question is what to buy N82 or N78??I know about 5mp... moreAll I can say is, the FM transmitter and FP2 on N78 are not worth the 5MP, Xenon, VGA@30FPS video, 3D accelerator, and TV-out of N82!

                    David, 29 Apr 2009Hi, my question is what to buy N82 or N78??I know about 5mp... moreAs far as I think, it all depends on your needs. As an N82 user, I find my self pretty relaxed about my phone. It has a bunch of cool features which N78 don't.

                    Mainly, the BIG difference is about the Camera. Otherwise, i feel it's just the same thing (I havn't really considered about the battery thing since I don't face much difficulties of getting my battery emptied in the middle of some work and unable to recharge it)

                    If you use your mobile camera often, going for gatherings and shootout often just to keep some memories or only for fun, i'd say you can go for N82. You know, it has a 5MP camera equipped with a Xenon flash, which basically helps you out really well taking pictures in the absence of light or just when dim light is available (mostly the case in gatherings :smileyvery-happy:). Moreover, it records vidoe at VGA resolution (At 30fps) where as N78 records at 15fps. Means N82 has BETTER video quality!
                    But if you're not a heavy mobile camera user, it's ok to go for N78. It has a 3.15MP Camera with LED Flash, pretty good one too.
                    Anyhow, if you can afford a N82, why going for N78? afterall, N82 is worth having (As for me, I'll go fo N82) [Pardon my ignorance, i was bit biased for N82 since I find myself better suited for N82]

                        I work in telecommunications, so I often get to test the different stuff that is on the market, and I picked the N82 because it was proving to be the most stable and reliable of Nokia's smartphones. Nokia has the most extensive range of any of the big manufacturers, and whatever you may read against Nokia from some less-experienced users on this forum, reliability and updates are no picnic on other companies' smartphones (and here it is important to distinguish between a normal GSM phone and a smartphone - the latter has a limited OS that runs preinstalled apps plus a few JAVA apps; whereas a smartphone is much closer to a computer than a mere phone.

                        Aside from the basics of making and receiving calls and messages, I use a lot the camera, music/video players, mobile internet and sat-nav.

                        I have taken some fantastic photos with the camera, ignore the 5MP - this is just a technicality, most cameraphones can't begin to compete with a standard digital camera of similar specs. I have found the picture quality of this phone sharp with excellent colour quality, even in poor light which is one area where most cameraphones (inlcuding my old SE K800i) fall down. One downside is that the shutter speed is slow in most modes - I have some brilliant shots of the Red Arrows' smoke trails from the recent Sanicole airshow at Hechtel, but the planes themselves proved pretty elusive, so is lacks a bit when taking action shots.

                        The video quality of the camera is also good, it produces excellent VGA-quality video (which is good enough to watch through the TV with the provided cable), though sound reproduction could perhaps be a little better.

                        The phone plays MP4 movies vey well, and music playback is also good - the sound from the stereo speakers is reasonable for such a device, and the headphones produce good sound (there are lots of people moaning with all modern phones that volume levels are not high enough, but in twenty years time they'll be thanking today's phones for not deafening them). The only catch is that the music player isn't always very versatile to use. I have a language course CD copied onto my memory card which I tend to access through File Manager. Having said that, I have yet to encounter any phone with a really good music player; they are designed to play music whilst you're mobile, they don't seem to imagine that you might be on a work break, in a hotel or just relaxing in in the garden and so be in a position to take more personal control over your music.

                        The internet is brilliant, as the phone has a good inbuilt WLAN system. I live in Belgium, where the mobile internet is expensive, so I rely on being able to use my home or work WLAN or hotspots out in the town. Unlike most mobiles, S60 smartphones have a proper web browser that can view web sites almost as a PC would (allowing, of course for the smaller screen size), and it is much better than the Microsoft Mobile Internet Explorer that I've used in some PDAs and other branded smartphones. The only real snag (which is common in the breed) is that you can't update things like Flash so if a new version comes out, you have to wait for a full software update to the phone and hope it contains this updated feature.

                        Another thing I use more and more in preference to the old system I have is the Nokia Maps sat-nav system, even N82s sold with the latest software (v20) come with the old 1.2 version, but update it to 2.0 and it is maturing into a nice package. The only real snag here is the size of the screen, though it did let me down last week on the way home from Antwerp when I left the road due to roadworks and I had to pull up in a service area and restart the app to make it recalculate the route. Only one problem in four months, though, I can forgive that.

                        I handle phones of different types all day at work, and I definitely don't regret buying this one.

                          There is lost in translation here I believe. In general bar code reader of phones(Nokia, SE, Samsung) can only read(I stand to be corrected) the new NYT codes which compose of geometric parterns in contrast to the product codes/prices which are either variants of UPC's, & EAN's bar codes in black strips that is in most products.

                          If you have a printer you can look in the net for a small freeware software that can produce this NYT codes that the cellphone can recognize.
