Hi,

Just got the E71 and playing about with it. (had to buy this handset as nokia refused to fix my other unit which i'd only had for a few months. They say the chip had fallen out of the circuit board. I say it was prob not soldered properly, but they wont listen)

Anyway....
I just put my mem card from the prev nokia into this and it hardly plays any of my video files. Something to do video/sound and it will try to partially play them. From what I've read it seems to be unable to support vids that could have been records at a higher res 😮😡:icon13:

My question is what can I use that's FREE that will play it.

I tried to d-l an old version of core player, but that failed to work (cert error). And the new version needs to be paid for

Is there a VLC type player for the E71

Also I was told to download Google maps, as the maps s/w in the phone will not properly function as a gps type device (updates your location as you move) without paying a monthly fee. What else is "cool" to download. Perhaps some type of weather app (has to be free too lol)
