I am using the 6086 WiFi connection and it works OK. I got rid of the T-Mobile Hot Spot router and went back to my Microsoft "B" router because I could not get the Hotspot router to work with secruity enabled - It was a open connection. I have also added a range extender to my network to pick up the dead spots in my house.

My problem is that the phone will not transition from WiFi to T-Mobile network under any WiFi connection. I get disconnected. Anyone else having this problem?

I am also disappointed by the music player on the T-Mobile Nokia 6086. I looked up on Nokia's web site and the 6086 is suppose to have a "real" music player. I also asked Nokia about the missing music player and they said that the carriers can modify the software (add/delete) on the phone. You will also see some extra junk/trial games on the phone that T-Moble wants to sell you and you can't delete. With only 4 or 5 mb of memory I suspect T-moble deleted the music player and added junk games. Thanks T-Mobile.

I am definately disappointed by the music player on the T-Mobile Nokia 6086. Playing songs one by one is absurd. How can they call that a music player?

i was wondering if you use your minutes if you are on a wifi connection for example your home router..i was just wondering if its free or not. if you dont buy the hotspot plan..and i was also wondering if anyone is bothered by the music player..and that you have to manually play the next song after one has finished..it doesnt continously play.

Does anyone know how to keep the display light on for as long as I want, not just for 15 seconds? I do Field testing at night with the phone and need it to stay "lit" for at least 1 to 2 minutes.

I have the Nokia 6086. I use it on wifi all the time. It works pretty well. Occasionally there are some hiccups in the signal on wifi. My phone doesn't connect automatically all the time. The networks are saved to my preferred networks list and have great signal strength. It just won't connect. I have to manually go through the menus to get it to connect to my networks. I am still figuring it out.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can find out what my phones MAC address is? I need to connect to a WiFi with MAC exclusion, so I need to add the phone's MAC number to the safe list, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

All the phone needs is a wireless internent connection and it will connect to to the internet. If the WIFI is password protected you will need to enter and save the password. You can save the WIFI connection and it will automatically connect the next time you are in range. For the Home I recommend the T-Mobile Linsys Router. It connects faster than my Microsoft. I am using both because I did not want to rearrange my computers and router settings until my 14 day grace period has expired.

It works great, but I am having trouble going from WIFI to the T-Mobile network; I keep droping the call. Does anone have any experiance. This is not a deal killer, but they did say it would transfer but it hasn't happened yet.

I have had the internet crash the phone several times on certain pages; and I am wondering if the operating system needs to be updated.

Any ideas on how to use the Music player?

Can anyone please let me know how to make VOIP calls with this phone? Do we need any VOIP service or just internet connection is enough?

Some of these responses are truly comical.A $50 or a $99 cell phone isn't going to have it all. You need only 2 things with a cell. To make a call and to receive a call. Thats it. I'll bet most of these reviews are written by people with more tattos and body fish hooks than brains.

If this phone is so poor why is there a waiting list? Who gives a stuff about the camera Hallo! Its a phone. The VOIP is the best thing . I cannot wait to get mine. It is solidly made and the keys are easy to dial with battery life is good. Sorry to those people who expect it to cook their breakfast for them as well and talk a lot of twoddle.

If you wanna more resolution buy a pocket pc,
Ppl think their phone must ve used for anything but to speak,
I just want a fone with voip and wlan, and this phone is the cheaper, if this phone werent available, I must buy all shit ultra camera + ultra display and it cost a lot.
This is your fault damn dumb ppl buying useless things.
If you want to take a phone, buy a camara, its always better!, better quality and functionality
If you want to se a video, use your monitor, buy a psp, be creative, your phone isnt for that.
If you want to hear music, buy an ipod!
If you want a phone try a cellphone!

I just got this phone today. Hooked up very easily to my wifi network; I did not need the router offered by T-Mobile. Not a great screen, but it plays MP3s and the camera is intuitive.
The main reason I got this phone, of course, is the VOIP (UMA). No cell phones work where I live, so now I have my own cell tower, in effect.
These phones have their own MAC address, so if you do your wifi security by MAC inclusion (like me), it will work.
Better sound quality than my home (voip) phone line, says one person I called.
