Ok my N80 arrived today, it's my first S60 phone since I had a Nokia 6600 about 2 years ago. So far it's going well. One thing that suprised me is the speed of the O.S, or rather the lack of. All I've been hearing about 3rd edition is that it's a hefty speed boost over previous versions, well to me this N80 is as slow, if not slower, than my old 6600 :con? Anyway, I'm getting back into how things work and getting used to the speed. I've got a couple of questions.

1. With my previous phone, Nokia 6230i, everytime I locked the keypad I had to open it with a security code. Is there anyway of making this happen on the N80?

2. How do I install the SIS files onto the phone as I'm using an iMac G5 so I can't use Datasuite. I have Bluetooth though.

3. Does anyone elses N80 suffer from a wobbly top half? The screen section on mine has a fair bit of play in it if I wiggle it left and right :icon13:

4. Is there anyway of making the whole Camera/Image look proccess work in Portrait?

5. When the phone is in sleep mode will a txt message wake it up for me?

6. Does anyone else have problems connecting to a Mac through Wireless? I'm using a 128bit WEP key on the iMac sharing through it's built in Airport, I put the same WEP key in the phone and it won't connect.

7. Anyone managed to get the iSync plugin working in 10.4.7 and iSync 2.3?

Many of your questions have already been asked and answered in depth here already, I suggest you do a search for your individual questions and you will find the answers you want 😊

also reading the manual may help answer some of your questions

1.- the answer is in the manual
2.- just send the file tru bluetooth to ur phone
3.- all N80s are like that
4.- Look in the forum (Search engine and Gloogle are ur best friends)
5.- Of course, it will ring or play the tone that u have set it up to (MANUAL ANSWER)
6.- u need Simple Server to do that and there is no a mac version, u cant browse files from ur phone of ur computer
7.- Look in the forum (Search engine and Gloogle are ur best friends)

May the user guide, manual, search engine and google be with u

cheers
