I have been in serious contact with him, and he insists it is not a scam. I offered to pay through escrow.com but he says no. If this is for real, its an awesome deal. But its likely too good to be true. Any opinions will be greatly appreciated.

        1) The N91-1 works on GSM.

        2) Currently the only way to get the new SW is to go to a Nokia Service Centre but I have heard rumors of over the internet updates coming this year for future sw

          Can anyone tell me if the WCDMA version (N91-1) will work on GSM too?

          I tried a GSM version today, all good but no WLAN.

          Thanks.

              Thanks pappy.
              *#0000# brings up this:
              v1.00.028.14
              29-03-06
              RM-43
              I don't use the video camera for conferencing, there is no 3G in the Eastern US region.
              Don't have bluetooth devices.
              Will check the WLAN option. Also under the battery symbol there is a littel arrow in a tray. What is that ? Thanks for your help.

                  1) I fond the new SW 1.10 improved battery life in general. Press *#0000# and see what you sw is.

                  2) If you only care about 2G then switch the phone from Dual mode to GSM. LAo if you have a new or inffecient wcdam network then do the same unless you need 3G.

                  3) Make sure you have not set you WLAN to show availability or it will ake up evey few minutes and transmit.

                  4) Turn bluetooth off unless you are specifically using it with an accessory or laptop.

                    The new S60 edition 3 has a new sercure operating system and unless a SIS file has been "signed" for this it will not run. The good news is that most companies have or are creating signed versions of their files (uaually with sisx extension) the bad news is most of them you have to buy again. Its like what happened to many smaller programs when MSFT moved to XP. This effects the N91, N92, N93, N71, N80, E60, E70 etc ll S60 Edition 3(Symbian 9) or higher.

                    Check out this http://n91.wordontheblog.com/

                    and look around they have some links to SIS/SISX for N91.

                    To SHakeel - N93 etc all have the same S60 interface...you will be waiting along time for Nokia to drop that.

                        Hey guys. I got the N91 a couple of weeks ago and to my surprise the battery life simply just sucks. I get about 2 days out of a full charge without playing music or browsing. Am I the only one with this problem? I know it takes a lot of juice to power that huge color screen, but 2 days? The worst battery life of any phone I had sofar. Maybe after a few total discharges and recharges the battery will improve but I doubt. Thanks for your attention.

                              Hey! guys , I AM SERIOUSLY SERIOUS about this phone. Guess wat ? Its awesome. I hav found great themes on symbian.mobilethemes.com .
                              The set is better wid BOSE and the blutut is grrreat. The cost is ruthless, but if you r willing to spend this much then its worth waiting for the SE P990i .

                                Ok thats the right SW.

                                As I mentioned these are like computers. In a recent Wired article I read (N91, N80, SE900, etc) and like computers they will choke once and a while (like Microsoft on your PC). Each generation will get better but Nokia, Motorola, SE try and balance the desire for a 100% reliable device and a full computer/musicplayer/video recorder in the pocket. In short the device will crash once and a while (I have to push mine really hard - play music, start WLAN braowsing, end send an SMS, etc ). Users have to get accept this to some degree as these "computers" grow. The article went on to say that these devices have millions of lines of software and even if they test it over and over its not until you get a device in the hands of millions of people that certain use case bugs are shown. Maybe its an excuse by Nokia, SE, Motorola etc but since the PC world follows a similar path I tend to believe it.

                                What exactly were you doing? I ask because it depends on the use case.And once you know the way you use a device most often then you can decide which device is good for you.

                                  after a HUGE confusion area of what is good and what is bad framkly i'm lost in here i need a frank advice from you guys...

                                  i'm trippin between N91 and N80, if we collect disadvantages they are almost balanced between these two models, and my major interest is to have a Mobile without malfunctions...so which one is the best to buy....?

                                    I found that with the newly released Roadsync for symbian series 60, N91 can also sync with Microsoft Exchange server to receive push emails just like E60 or E61.

                                        Hello Mangesh,

                                        Sorry I couldn't reply you earlier. Just buy Bose triport without a doubt. If you have N91, they give about Rs 1500 off. Net landed price is Rs. 6200. You have to hear it to believe it. Sound is far far better than the supplied earphones. Just no comparison. Just remember to deactivate the Bass boost on N91.
