Nokia :: Hardware Differences / UK Spec And A US Spec N900
Feb 23, 2010
Was wondering if someone could tell me if there was any hardware differences between a UK spec and a US spec N900? I have bought a US spec one via a UK seller and a friend of mine who did the same was told in an EU service centre that they would not be able to repair his phone as the US models were different to the EU models. Is this true?
I know the Evo is not due for release until June, but it already has a 'units for sale' presence on the web.
As it is probably unlikely that HTC will change the spec of the handset. Has anybody used one of these handsets on the Vodafone network, which is not a 4G network.
Besides totally free navigation (saving 10€ per year), what benefits are there upgrading to 3.03? I use both 3.01 and 3.03 in two E66s side by side, and so far I don't see what is better in 3.03 in normal car navigation.How come 3.03 does not have predictive country/city/street name search anymore? In 3.01 it is very handy if you are not quite sure how the city or street name is written (especially abroad), or you are not quite certain of the name of the street you are trying to find.Why was this dropped from 3.03, or am I using 3.03 wrong way? Unlike some, fortunately I at least seem to get street name searches ok also in 3.03 offline mode.One more thing, does it matter whether you download maps to either 3.01 or 3.03 through OVI suite or PC Suite/OVI map loader? OVI suite map loader has never really worked for me, I am unable to download anything from it. PC Suite variant works more reliably, just downloaded all maps and voices to E66 3.03 over night.
I have C3-00 with firmware v8.71. I noticed that when making or receiving a call, even with the volume set to 10 bars, when someone is standing next to me, he cannot hear the voice of the one am talking to. My friend has C3-00 with firmware V8-63, when he receives or makes a call, when you are standing next to him, you can hear the voice of the person he is talking to and you can reduce the volume in order for somone next to you not to ehar what you are discussion. Is it about the firmware or is it just my phone?I want to know so if I have to reverse back to V8.63 by flashing the phone or maintaining V8.71.
i realy your help in this one, now i live in Lebanon, and i'm searching for a n900, but the other day my freind told that you can't check for your balance in your phone operartor, is that true, were i live, you need to recharge your phone in before you make phone calls, send messages etc, and to see how much dollars(or what ever its called) you still have in what you have recharged, you need to press *11# and than the green button, and than a message shows up showing you your phone operator balance, is it true that that can't be done on the n900? i like it how i can overclock the n900 from 600 mhz to 1000 mhz in less than 30 sec.
i have spoken to a few people who have iphone 4s they think there is no real difference between them is this true or is there a major thing i need to know between the two, what are the real differences
I have a Verizon 8560 which had the internal screen go out.However, it says its only for GSM and not CDMA... that seems odd to me. Are there any overriding differences between the GSM and CDMA versions, or is this guy full of it?
Im looking at picking up an inexpensive Quad Band phone for an upcoming trip to the UK. I have narrowed it down to either the V195 or the V197.As far as i can tell the V197 is just a different color. Are there any other differences between the 2 phones?
I read on Amazon i think, that one person said the black colored center row of keys on the V197 were hard to read. FROm the pictures it doesn't appear that they would.I like the black color better than the blue, so i would prefer it over the V195.
What are the differences of these Xperia Active model numbers? In some instances my phone is being detected as ST17 by some apps but it clearly states on the About section that it is ST17i.
I'm a current owner of the BB 9700 Bold 2 (for private purposes only) and I love the keyboard and the (email) software overall. However, I somehow dislike the overall build quality .I want to buy another BB - the Storm 2. Will I be satisfied with the Storm 2 by means of typing speed and build quality? What are the other main differences between those two BBs (besides the obvious ). And moreover: Should I buy the Storm 2 now or should I wait for a newer device?!
It has become clear that Motorola's tactic is to provise updates and meet promises in a fragmented way, the main issue with Xoom is the multiple number of models and builds to an extent that Motorola is not sure anymore how to handle the updates with many variables and region differences, and their way to handle this is by creating more fragmentation, the US Verizon Models were the first to receive the 3.1 update followed by the US Wifi ones, later will be non-US Wifi upfate to 3.1 possibly with sd card enabling, followed by non-US 3g with the same update and finally back to the US Verizon 4g upgrade and sd enabling concurretly or sd after 4g.Some have predicted this when the US upfate started and Motorola denied at the time. Now it is clear this is the plan.
I am on version 1.2009.44 but version 2.2009.51 is available on my N900.I go to download and it says I need to download through the nokia software updater on my PC.So I connect it to my PC suite and run software updater and it cant find anything it says I am all upto date.But I am not.any help?
Just purchased an N900. I've also got a Skype account all set up and enabled on the N900. I'd really like to know if there is a way that the low rez camera that would normally be used for video calls, can also be used as a webcam when I'm Skyping to my friends? Honestly I don't even know how to use...or even discovered all the functions of this awesome smart phone. So...for the time being, here are my 3 inquiries: 1. How to invoke the low rez cam to function as a webcam when Skyping (if it can be done) 2. How do I bring up the "virtual" keypad? 3. How do I get to the built in Users Manual, that resides somewhere in the belly of this beast?
I have a Nokia N95 and it's been great. But it looks like I've been useing it for target practice so I was planning on buying the N97 or N900? But I heard Nokia has had problems withe the lennex operating system. I was told to hold off that Nokia has a totally new phone that will be introduced mid summer 2010 with a new operating system that will put Nokia back on top over iphone ect ect.
I must buy a new phone and I wanted to take a N900, but after I read this topic with all the problems, I am affraid that N900 is too buggy for me. I need a phone with a good battery (I am traveling a lot of time), I need connectivity, but also multimedia (video and music), but must of all I need a very good organizer. I can not afford a phone with so much problems and I don't have time to debug it!
So, I have to choose from these models: N900, N97, N97 mini, E72, BB 9700 Bold and IP 3GS. I know that you are not fans of BB and IP, but because I am a lot in the airplane, I need the multimedia and entertainment from 3GS and the office from BB.
i just bought an n900 and waiting for it to be delivered, it's second hand and i gather that some n900s don't accept all 3 sims but there was an update for it so now it does, is that right? if mine isn't accepted how do i update it given that it doesn't work with ovi or pc suite?
CPW is offering clearance nokia n900's on their webpage for £265.00. ie: 14 day returned handsets. Anyone bought one this way and happy with the condition of it. Im really tempted. I know their are alot of threads/posts on the pro's and con's of this fone/tablet. My question is if you could do a rewind would you still buy this handset ?
I just got an n900 and very disappointed .I can't download music to it via the PC suite I have downloaded some small apps and themes to my PC that I can't install through the application installer- it says that there is no memory left to install a tiny app when i have 20+GB available
Im used to my N95 doing it no problemthe whole phone seems unfinished - a half assed job and im reading posts from people with the same issues saying "nokia is going to bring out a PC suite for the n900 that will work" and "OVI will be working soon" that date back to February
I also fully charged it overnight its been on for 4 hours and the battery is nearly flat and I have only plugged in the mini USB thingo 3 times and the input socket is really loose.No EQ on the music player?? and no ability to edit the track names/artists in the menu.The N95 not only had EQ but stereo widening and other cool features - What a step down.i can't believe it - it almost 100% useless
I have all my contacts in Nokia x6. I also did sync with OVI site. I would like to get the contacts either from the x6 or from OVI site into my phone N900. How can I get them? I did use phone switch application from N95 to x6. Don't know how to do for N900.
I bought my N900 2 weeks back. My GPS is not working. If I try to open Nokia Maps it gives me a messages as follows
1. "Looking for GPS"
2. "Downloading Data/Looking for GPS"
3. "Looking for GPS"
4. "No GPS Signal"
I did lot of readings on this but couldn't find a fix. This is reported as a bug in Maemo Bugzilla.But I'm confused with the comments from other users in these forums.So please update me if this is a general bug, or is it something wrong with my mobile.
