Hi all,

NEC N411i:

- Bluetooth only works for a headset. You can't connect to other phones or your laptop.

- You can't use mp3 as a ringtone whatever you try..

USB Connection: a lot of problems with windows XP. you better use a pc with windows 98. DO NOT plug your phone in.. first install drivers. Not from the cd you got with the phone, but download them here:
then install the mobile suite. also download here: ,then plug in your phone and it will work..

Phone modes: press the up-key LONG(the one on the circle on your 'keyboard') and then edit..

Side keys: the up-key: press long for camera...you see yourself on the 2nd screen.. press up-key again for photo.. down-key: press long for light...any key to out it off..

Grtz,
Suimppu

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.
