Nokia 6600: Important information when changing phones or MMC

A full version of Opera is bundled with most Nokia 6600's in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia. It is part of what Nokia calls a "complimentary sales package" which also includes a number of Try&Buy applications. These applications are preinstalled on the MMC card that comes with the phone.

Some 6600's ship without this package. As far as Opera knows this include 6600's distributed through unofficial channels, most 6600's in the US and all 6600's distributed through Vodafone's channels. If your MMC did not come with Opera you can purchase the browser from http://www.opera.com/buy/.

Opera is locked to each phone's unique IMEI number. If you replace the MMC card you must install Opera on the new card (or internal disk). You can download the latest version of the browser from this location:

http://www.opera.com/download/?plat...mbian&man=Nokia

Make sure you choose the version for Nokia 6600 and not 3650/7650/N-Gage. When you install this on the new MMC it will pick up the registration info from the previous installation of Opera and continue to be a full version. The process is automatic.

If you have to replace your phone, but keep the original MMC, Opera will no longer be registered. This happens because the registration code is locked to the IMEI of your old phone. All Nokia service centers have information on how to generate a new registration code for Opera. You have to provide them with both the old and new IMEI numbers.

This will also be necessary if you do a complete format of both the internal disk and the MMC. Contact your Nokia service center for a new registration code.

We understand that some Nokia service centers are not aware that they have access to a system to generate new codes. If that is the case you can send an e-mail to [email][email protected][/email]. Support requests sent to this address will not be answered. The following information is required:

1. Full name
2. Full address
3. E-mail address
4. Old IMEI code (if possible) - 15 digits only
5. New IMEI code - 15 digits only
6. Date of purchase
7. Place of purchase
8. Name of service center which could not help
9. Current registration code (If applicable)
