Hello again :)
Thanks for the answers in my other two threads - i have widely given up on synchronising that phone, PC Suite just won't run and anything else won't help, period. And the stalling application - well, Google helped me to the "Agile Messenger" which does the same job, just BETTER and is totally FREE on top of it :)
Now, i've got that phone for three days and already almost had to bring it back. This is a serious rant: Why, oh WHY, does Nokia permanently release phones that are nowhere near ready to be released????????
The 6260, high-end, spiffy, full of bells and whistles. Released in Thailand with big TV commercials and full-page newspaper ads. Yet, it doesn't even support thai language, neither in SMS nor menu nor, and that is the worst, in it's web/wap browser! All thai GPRS portals run in thai language, and using a 6260 you get gobbledigoo. So i went, paid extra money for a full versiuon of Opera 6.2 on a CD, being told it will install a thai font to the system as well. Well, it did that, yes. And it screwed up the original "Web" application so that it wouldn't run anymore, and then it went further to be the slowest damn web/wap browser i ever seen in my life. Surfing WAP on the Siemens c35 with 9.6 kb/s over CSD was faster! I uninstalled it quickly, yet the "Web" application wouldn't come back, no downloading ringtones (Opera can't handle that!!!) and i tought OMG brand new phone and screwed - i HATE Symbian!
Needless to say, i tried a few other apps - camera FX (installed but wouldn't run), Phillips Camcorder (installed, runs (!) but produces crap picture quality, worse than the original video app), Full Screen Caller ID (installs but wouldn't run) and the dreaded Opera. After all, 500 Baht total wasted, because it is not like "Same platform, should run" like anywehere else. Hello Nokia - a bit compatibility would be nice! People BUY their apps and need to BUY the same apps again when they get a new phone with seemingly the same platform???
Well, prior to throwing the phone in the bin and committing suicide, i googled the net for "App closed: Browser" and found that millions of people have the same problem.... and found the very usefull *#7370# which made "Web" run again. So much to that - i advised my boyfriend to NEVER install ANYthing on that phone, because Symbian is that way, sorry but it IS so.
Now, i created a folder called "Keep" in the "Messages - my folder" thing, and saved some SMS there. Then, after changing to another SIM to test something, that folder was still there, but - EMPTY.
Original SIM back - still EMPTY.
Today, i tried the same again, this time with phone security OFF - still, after changing SIM, all SMS that have been in that folder have disappeared. Is that supposed to be so?????????
Why can't i save a copy of SMS in a folder on the MMC? I tought that should at least be possible? Or did i just not find out how? Or, for heavens sake, does that require yet another application which will make something else crash?
Please, any info on "How to save personal SMS from the destructive behaviour of the gods of Symbian" would be extremely appreciated, because tomorrow the testing period is over and that phone goes into every-day-use, with the rock-stable and almost problem-free (except the flickering keypad lights) 7250 being sold to a colleague of mine. Changing from serie 40 to serie 60 is like changing from Toyota Corolla to some experimental race car - slow and reliable to fast and unpredictable.
I hope some of you Symbian guys here can help me and my boyfriend........ Thanks in advance :)
Kind regards....
