I recently purchased an N411i and I found setting it up with laptop easy. Install drivers first then NEC mobile suite and final step plug in phone. Menu can be difficult at first but stick with it, gets easier with use. I have a couple of questions though. I seem to be unable to download any ringtones. I get the usual confirmation text but no download. Also I seem unable to use MP3 files as ringtones can anyone please help!

Bought a N411i for Xmas. Nice phone but I can't manage to connect my phone to my computer via the lead and USB port. I have installed the NEC mobile drive and software but when I connect the phone the computer still says PHONE NOT CONNECTED. I have looked into the NEC suite and that just tells me that the phone should be the same language as the suite itself.
I have cotacted my network supplier and NEC but they have been of no help.
All I want to do is download MP3's and photos from and to my computer.
Can any body please, please help me?

it is odd that so many people cannot use bluetooth. 1. it does not do file transfer. 2. heaset bluetooth is in applications. switch the bluetooth on and pair device. in the manual. remember bluetooth drains the battery

to emma and others, the phone is only availible from o2 in the UK and on their site its £149.99 with a bluetooth headset and a apple ipod shuffle. Alternativeley you can purchase it for £99.99 by itself from any o2 store on the high street.

Wow! this is one amazing phone, and for only £99.99! The camera is fantastic, imode is incredible and the design relly cool. the only slight let down is that it has a 65k screen insted of a 256k screen, byt hey, nothingsd perfect.

Unless you can be bothered forking out £300 quid then this phone is for you!

I recently upgraded my phone, to the N411i which I really did enjoy having, until I tried to connect it to my computer. I have installed and uninstalled the complete software many many times, still with no avail. I keep having the same error message on the NEC suite that the phone is not connected, yet the computer says that it is. Please someone help me with this problem! Many thanks xXx

Hello, after looking at its specifications on the web I thought "wow, all this for only £100". But now I cant stand it: the battery life is awful, worst menu system ever, slow web browser and more trivial it has a rubbish alarm clock (you have to leave it on in order for it to work). However if you can tolerate flaws like that, then the phone is still good value for money as it has all the features of its rivals for half the price. Overall if rating out of 10, I would give it four or five, as it's a real hit and miss handset.

Got very excited talking to the sales guy about what this phone could do, but I found the setting up painful. The whole phone is somewhat bulky and heavier than I was expecting. I've been using a Sony T610 and thought that was text-unfriendly, but please!...

The ring tones are great, but at the end of the day (call me old fashioned) but it's just an alert to let me know I'm being called. So what's the point of a full beutifuly crafted 64 polyphonic ringtone unless the local entertainment is so bad you're gonna sit in all night and listen to the phone (how sad would that be?!).

I didn't like the little rubber cover on the charger port. My experience has always been that these become detached after a few months. Also (and this may sound petty), I hate the two-piece charger thing. Isn't this 2005?

The display is good, the colours are good, but I thought that the camera was average. A bit grainy and dark and no better than any other I've seen. The 'i' mode is probably good, but when I tried to activate it, the error message told me to contact an O2 dealer to set up the account which I was not what I was expecting to have to do.

After not too much time, I put the SIM back in the Sony and have returned the handset. I've decided to opt for the V3 instead (size, weight, style, etc.) and will let you know. For the record, i recently purchased a Siemens A62 PAYG having got to work and realising I'd left the Sony at home. The A62 is brilliant, if basic. Easy to use, good display, nice tones, in short, it does what it says on the tin! and at under £30.00 Including £10 air time is a steal. My point is, it isn't sold on gizmos and features. The 411i is packed with goodies, but I feel, at a compromise as we seem to have forgotten what the end goal really is. Good, clear signal and phone quality.
