My Nokia 6630 is well overdue for an upgrade and I'm hoping to get either an N82 or an N95 as a replacement. The 6630 has certain features that I really like and use a lot and I'm wondering if the N82 and/or the N95 has them too. The first one is that the 6630 has a "wallet" which is a secure area which can only be accessed by typing in a password where you can store sensitive information like PIN numbers etc. The second feature is that it allows you to completely customise all the labels for all the contacts details. For example if one of my contacts has three different mobile phones I can label them all differently, e.g. mobile (work), mobile (personal) or mobile (golf) etc. and I can also fuly customise the defaults on these - one could be the default for text messages, another could be the default for video calls and yet another could be set as the default for normal calls. Does anyone know if the N82 or the N95 has any or all of these features?

Both phones allow you to edit the label and add additional info.

Neither phone has the wallet (removed on newer models due to security concerns). Many "paid for" programs are available but I use this free program: http://www.eaves.org/jon/j2me/pocket.shtml

The N82 is the faster, sturdier more reliable phone of the two but the N95 has a slightly better screen.

Many thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know!

Yes, Psychomania is right.

Except for the slightly larger screen, the N82 has to be considered the better phone in every other aspect.

[petesavan]

Thanks. Yes, I'm getting more and more convinced that the N82 is the one for me. At the moment though the only network that seems to support it is O2. I'm with 3 at the moment and have always found their service and coverage pretty good so I'm hoping they will soon be offering this phone too.

3 UK will be selling the N82 later this month.

I hope that happens

I've been to the "pocket" site you suggested and got as far as part 4 of the download section and managed to set a password on the emulator. How do I go about installing this on my phone though? There are no clear instructions for doing this anywhere that I can see!

[psychomania]

It's easy to install on the phone.

Download the zip file and extract it's contents.
http://www.eaves.org/pocket/pocket.zip

Use the application installer which is in nokia's pc suite to install "pocket.jar" to the phone. www.nokia.com/pcsuite

Another way to do it is to send the .jar file by bluetooth to your phone. It arrives a bit like a text message and you can install the program from your inbox. You don't need pcsuite for this method.

Brilliant! Thanks very much, that works a treat!

I don't know if you (Psychomania) can help me with this problem as this isn't the right part of the forum to post it, but you've done extremely well for me so far. I have already posted this elsewhere in the forum but have had limited response so far. My trusty Nokia 6630 has thrown a bit of a wobbly and won't charge any more. I can charge the battery OK by resting it's contacts against the contacts of my other Nokia, a 6280, and then put it back in the 6630 and it works fine. When I plug the charger in, either the mains one or the car charger, I get the message "Not charging" with a phone icon with a red cross on it. Also the charging bars go back to zero when the charger is plugged in, althought they revert to normal once the charger is removed. This all started a couple of days ago when the phone rang and immediately switched off as the low battery warning had been beeping for about half an hour and the phone ringing must have taken the last bit of power from the battery. I plugged it into the charger but was maybe a bit impatient waiting for it to start up again as it seemed rather sluggish accepting my PIN code, so I switched it off before it had completed doing this and when I switched it on again it had this fault. Any idea what could be causing this and how to cure the problem. Do I need to make a backup and do a hard reset or reinstall the firmware? If so how do I go about doing that? No problem if you have no idea as I hope to replace this phone with the N82 in the next couple of months.

Personally I think it is a hardware problem with the phones charging circuit.

It may be worth trying a software update but I doubt that it will have any effect.

I'm assuming that it's not under warranty anymore. It would probably be a waste of money to get it fixed if you are about to get a new phone.

[petesavan]

Many thanks. I was resigned to it probably being something like that. If I decide to do a software update I'll let you know the outcome, but I may not bother - I don't want to make it worse and I don't want to actually have to use my other phone, the 6280, that I really hate!

[psychomania]

I hope you can get your new phone quickly!

Let us know if you need anymore help.

What's the maximum sized memory card that can be put into the N82? Is it best to use Nokia's own make? I find Kingston memory is very reliable and would normally go for that if given the choice.

[6280]

You can use Sandisk and Kingston atm, you can use an 8GB SDHC card in there.

I recommend sandisk, they are very reliable.

The current maximum is 8GB. 12GB - 32GB cards will be available this year but no one knows yet if they will be fully compatible with nokia smartphones.

[petesavan]

Many thanks. I'm sure 8Gb will be adequate. It's a bit of a jump from my 6630's 64Mb card!

[petesavan]

A further question about that Java scripted "pocket" utility you told me about - can the contents be backed up with everything else when you do a backup using the Nokia PC Suite?

[psychomania]

No, that program doesn't have the ability to be backed up.
