You know, you don't need a hard copy of the instructions cause your pc will be on. Only your browser will be off, so you can read files from note or whatever other program you used. Believe me, Belle is stress worthy:).

Stupid me, 25 Aug 2013Quite preachy this morning, huh :-)). Just came from one sermon and I'm getting another one :-... moreHey, sorry for my "lectures". Some times i get nosy, i did not meant any offensive hits... I tried to tell you that nobody is perfect and to know what i know took me SOME TIME, i learn as i live (so, i'm no perfect, even in my strong points), and that is why you should not talk negative about your self, even if you are self aware of your weak points (God knows i have many), at least this is my policy:)). So, to clear this up, it will not take you 10 years:)). This was just the count of how many years i used this system... You don't talk to much, and you got me on "caring" stuff. Some times, to much... and that is why i stick my nose everywhere. I just get the feeling i know the "problem" and i can sum up the solutions. Anyways. Nice talking off topic to you. have a nice day. Once again, i apologize if any harm done...

I promise you I'll try them all in time when I return from Tobago. I'll miss the net (no wifi where I am going, I think) but the beach will compensate for it.

I suspect I have ... moreOh come on, there's a lot you can still do ;-) You can install Remind Me (plays a sound every 5 minutes when you have a missed call or sms), QuickLock (to lock your screen by tapping on an icon), ClockSync (synchronizes your clock with an atomic clock), Nokia Internet Radio (hundreds of stations for free), camera apps like Panorama, Photorim, SCam etc, then gadgets like BubbleCompass (so you know where you're going), better calculators, metal detector, torch... And those are just free apps. ;-) Also, did you try any themes yet? A lot of people are perfectly happy with Symbian Anna so if it works, leave it as it is until you're more confident. (Hmmm, yeah, but I'm the one trying to have a life and be creative and constructive while almost everyone else is "dwelling on war" :-) But never mind that.)
By the way, for all who want to try it, the Instagraph Uploader app doesn't work for me. Maybe it works for someone who already has an Instagram account? I created an account, tried to upload a few photos and it says "Error: Logon_ErrorAccountDisabled!" and if I want to log in with my PC I get "This account is inactive" - I suppose Instagram doesn't want Symbian users. If you want to play with filters get SophieCam for your phone and Pixlr-o-matic for your PC instead.

Install App Stop from Nokia Store and see if any hidden apps are still running. Log out from Social. Do you use WhatsApp or Viber, or your email client checks for new emails? Are you using any widgets that need internet connection such as Weather?

Is great and that screen has allot of brightness power. The colors are not that vivid as with amoled but you can pass this very easy, cause compensates when you use it in sunlight without problems (even at a low screen brightness). Still, looks girly in front of n8:))

Always good to read it from someone who used it for a while, not a reviewer who had it for 3 days. :-) And yes, I agree. My friend's wife has a C7 and I can't really imagine it as a man's phone. Just too soft, rounded, like a fashion thing. 701 is almost the same, small design changes. OK, some said it looks like a "photon torpedo" but if I had it I'd put a case on it, and probably I would buy one of those "off-road" cases that look like 4x4 car tires. Just to make it look more serious, like a tool. :-) Even in a see-through TPU case with some sort of a hexagon-diamond pattern on the back my N8 still looks like it's meant to do serious business. Which it does. :-)

Painful separation, you know, after all that time with Symbian and S60, (although last years i'm using androids as well), however no place for sentimentalism here, it comes a time to move on. Regards!

When you hold the device it feels great and strong. Is faster then N8, camera is weaker(but that's normal, no?). The only problem it has is that, in front of n8, is just a girly device. N8 looks like a tank in front of it. And that doesn't bother me:)). Compared as proccesing, 701 is faster, quite more. Camera, n8 is the winner. Fp 2 in front of refresh? Has some great stuff, but refresh is a mix between symbian and belle fp2. Fp 2 is just fp 2. Allot of sparkling effects, but some simple things missing from it. Things that are not that simple for me. As of device manner? N8 is for Man, 701 is for girls (no offence for those who have it or have the c7). It is just true. N8 is like the bull for the 701..:)). That's about it.

I suspect I have reached my limit as to what I will do with mine because I hardly think I will hack and have the need to use Phoenix etc. My only regret is that I could not bring myself to do the Belle upgrade. Maybe some day - and if it comes, I have all the info in my file plus a hard copy. I think if I had a printer, I would have done it at the peak of my interest & enthusiasm when I was actually backing up my stuff. But not getting the hard copy at that particular point put a damper on things. I think momentum was lost. But I do appreciate all the efforts and help I received from you and Carol.
It was also great to see the daily interest move from 11% to, well, 28% today. It means that people are getting something out of visiting this site (following the soap opera is just a bonus :-))). Keep dispensing the information because there may be more people out there who need guidance than you think - and I mean guidance in things you pros take for granted too, not only the advanced things.
I KNEW you would not be offended :-) and we are even :-)! Music is about taste and what you feel inside, I think. To each his own! And yes, I know about the war, not everything but enough, but don't dwell on that, its gone. There may be a bigger one coming elsewhere and we'll face that if or when it comes. Meanwhile, life goes on.

Okay, here's some news that will make some people happy:
INSTAGRAM for Symbian!
Now there's an unofficial Instagram app for Symbian called Instagraph Uploader. I'll maybe try it tonight to see what it is about. You can get it through Nokia Store:
