hi all

lets share your review of this phone...

me myself...
just bought it 2 days ago for my wife
pink color btw....

1st impression....
slim....patterned surface instead of plain color....
graphic wise...nice
big screen
button OK...not that hard n stiff kind....
easy to sms....
menu navigation...nice as well.....
sound? wow! so loud....!!!!
even the alarm can wake up the whole people in my apartment lot....
hehehehe

but....
to be frank....
MP3...if played here....
compared to my cheap 3110 Classic....
mine is way nicer...crisp sound...
this 7310...kind of hissing sound
tried adjusting the equaliser
tested all mode...rock..pop...jazz etc...
but still can't beat my 3110c

one more prob
the USB port "door"
too hard to open...not rubber type like 3110c....
pain my nail opening it...
unless i need to open the phone case 1st...then easy to open the port....

thats all from me....

chicaman — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:21:18 +0800

Welcome to N82 V3 thread

N82 V1 Thread -> [Nokia� N82 Official Thread]

Nokia N82, the latest multimedia computer optimized for photography, navigation and internet connectivity. With the tools to discover the places and moments worth capturing, and the capabilities to capture and share them instantaneously, the Nokia N82 offers photography enthusiasts an enhanced camera experience.

Discover, capture and share
The Nokia N82 enables you to explore your surroundings and find your way with navigation and routing; document your adventures with the high quality imaging capabilities; and instantly share your experiences with one click upload to the web.

Featuring A-GPS, 5 megapixel camera, Xenon flash, Carl Zeiss optics and internet connectivity, the Nokia N82 also incorporates all the multimedia computer features common to Nokia Nseries. like its predecessor the Nokia N95, the Nokia N82 is the latest epitome of a truly converged device that is not one thing but is many.

Discover the world
The powerful A-GPS and preinstalled* Nokia Maps help you explore and locate new places, whether in another country or just around the corner. All Nokia N82 standard sales packages come with a free voice guided navigation trial*, and you can purchase additional features, such as city guides and longer subscription to the navigation.

With access to more than 15 million points of interest, you can locate and navigate to the most interesting sights, bars or restaurants wherever you are. You can also send map excerpts and routes to friends by MMS or save map screen shots to the gallery.

Capture your experiences
With a 5 megapixel camera, powerful Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics, the Nokia N82 delivers remarkably vivid photographs, even in low-light conditions. Fast camera activation, autofocus with a dedicated autofocus assist lamp, fast reloading between shots and DVD-like quality video capture make it a truly convenient and credible tool for capturing and telling your life stories.

Thanks to the 2GB microSD card in the standard Nokia N82 sales package*, you can store up to 900 high-resolution photos or up to 84 minutes of high quality video on the device.

"The Nokia N82 gives the best ever camera and navigation experience in one stylish premium device. Just imagine what kind of possibilities this will open up and how much richer your every day life experiences can be! The sophisticated design and glossy looks appeal to men and women who are conscious of their style and want to impress with the latest in technology," Satu Ehrnrooth continues.

Share your stories
With high speed Wi-Fi connectivity and one-click upload to communities, the Nokia N82 makes sharing your experiences and discoveries easy. When viewing a picture or video, simply one press of a button starts uploading it while you carry on using the device for other purposes.

Or you can impress your friends with multimedia slideshows - complete with music and effects - on the high resolution display or on a compatible TV.

The Nokia N82 comes with the new content driven 3D multimedia menu and includes a convenient orientation sensor that rotates the user interface automatically between horizontal and portrait mode. For quick and easy access to entertainment content, the Nokia N82 also supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including Nokia Music Store, N-Gage games** and Nokia Maps.

Bluetooth, E71 & Vista Bluetooth Driver Installatio

Gentlebird — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:54:08 +0800

Hello all,

Greeting to everyone, this is my very first post and hope everyone could bear with me ignorance.

I bought my E71 last Friday and I love it!

However, I am having trouble in installing the "Bluetooth" drivers (4 at least) when connecting to my Windows Vista SP1.

Under the devices, it list down 4 "Bluetooth Peripherals Device" under the "Other Devices" within "Device Manager" module.

I tried installed the Nokia PC Suite Rel 7.0.7.0 9 (Downloaded from the Nokia website) as well as the CD version which is 6.86.9.4 and allow to search from Internet too but still unsuccessful!

The Bluetooth Radios within my notebook are " Dell Wireless 360 Bluetooth Module" & "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator".

Appreciate anyone could help me out this or some tips or links that could guide me to solve these puzzles!

Thank you.

Regards.

[addedon]July 26, 2008, 9:32 am[/addedon]*bump*! well, is either no one using the Vista bluetooth against E71 or am I just the luck one?

Anyone able to help and guide me on this?

Haven't got any luck so far but seeing the annoying popup of "new device found" everyday!

Brief introduction of the Sharp 902sh / 903sh

=========================================

The 902sh / 903sh is brought in by various people and ways from Japan, Europe, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It must be unlocked in order to use in other countries.

However, it got discontinued in year 2006 and the only way to get it is to find second hand sets. It can?t be bought from handphone shops like those in Lowyat so you might as well try your luck in Garage Sales or Lelong.com.

here's a pic of our sexy Sharp 902sh and Sharp 903sh:
