I'm hoping this post will also be read by someone who works on the applications that are built-into Nokia phones.

I have recently made extensive use of the voice recorder feature of my Nokia N85, and I was reminded how extremely inconvenient the arbitrary one hour limit to the recording is.Thanks to it, one has to always check whether the hour has finished, and if it has, manually start another recording. If it hasn't, just check back...

I had to spend a good amount of time searching for third-party voice recorders, none of which I found satisfying, either because of their price or because of the fact that, for some reason, the recording quality never comes close to that of the in-built voice recorder. I therefore have to continue to go with it, although I really wish Nokia realised that it is ridiculous to cripple the functionality of an essential application, especially in more recent phone models.

I have 8GB on my memory card and want this to be the only limitation my voice recordings. The one hour limit may have made sense 10 years ago, but not any more, and I doubt any one appreciates a "legacy feature" like that. Please show a bit of flexibility, Nokia, and address this issue in your future firmware versions. Thank you.

Keep on hoping. Use the contact us button to do some complaining. This is a usersforum. What do you want us to do??

"What do you want us to do??"

Well, I noticed other threads benefit from the replies of people who seem to be Nokia developers. You will understand how one could then assume that this thread might as well. Many thanks once again for your well-educated reply, "Professor".

Oke, I understand. In fact, you're right about the limitation of one hour being ridiculous. Let the user decide what he wants. But there is nothing we can do about it on this forum.

I have to agree, this is annoying. So many choices made in included software seem to be placeholders for third-party or nokia-developed premium apps. Nokia provides quite a bit free of charge, and is good in so many ways, that I hope they'll reconsider the iPhonification of their lines and provide solid value with included apps, instead of charging for basic functionality.


hadimassa, no personal offense meant to you, but i have to respectfully disagree, this is exactly where grievances should be aired, and what we can do about it is discuss it.

Point taken. The thing is that it's obvious not on Nokia's priority list, if it was they would have done something about ages ago. I consider this app as an extra.
