Today I was looking at my 5 year old N 9500 and my 9300... Lot of people tell me that they are older and outdated devices... I have been using them the last 5 years non-stop. I have always been as many here a guy that loves the newest tech, a guy that wants to buy new products and extract 100% of them. But something happened with the last S80 devices... I bought an E90 , year 2007 ( september ) sold it and returned to my brick ( n9500 ). I bought a BB...sold it and returned to my n9500... The same happened with the first Android device... I know the big limitations of S80. Could it be possible to emulate an S80 in a Maemo device?? Thanks...

Setting it up to run as a macro means that it displays almost instantly - much faster than setting it up as an application. Single key hot keys allow very fast navigation and table switching. The contents of each cell can be edited, coloured, deleted, cut, copied or pasted into another cell. Colour coding cells makes it very easy to identify particular subjects. The macro can handle up to 6 files or classes, each of which will present as a separate screen. Each entry can be linked to an entry in the in-built Calendar and Clock applications, particularly useful for setting up alarms. A sidebar view allows comparison with calendar entries. Assignment due dates can be handled via the cell entry dialog. The macro can be used for a number of purposes: - display of class timetables for up to 6 groups - assignment manager, which can be used to track due dates for assignments for up to 6 class ...

It generally asks for the e-mail address, then the message, then to where it will be sent (500 in the case of T-Mobile. I cannot figure out how to do this on my Cingular 9300b. While I can obviously brute-force this by sending a text message to 500 in the format emailaddress/subject/message I was hoping that there was a simpler solution that I had simply not found. Also, what is the maximum size MMC card that can be used with this device?...

The original Music Player is soooo slow, and doesn't have a playlist feature. OGGPlay has a nice interface like Sony's walkman, but still has no playlist.

I have a Kingston 2GB MMC card which usually could be read by the Nokia 9500, but yesterday I copied some music from the computer and when I plugged it back, it is not recognized (File manager doesn't show the memcard, the Memory part on Control Panel says 'memory card is not ready'.) But it is still recognized by the card reader on the computer. Does anyone has the same problem? And how to fix it? Thanks....

A freeware app to check which part of the world is illuminated by the Sun, and to know when the sun sets and rises. Works on all Series 80 models (9210, 9210i, 9300, 9300i, 9500). http://www.symbioosi.net/things/sunclock2.jpg So, what is it exactly? It shows a map of the world with one part illuminated and one part darkened. There is also a sidebar which lets you know when the sun sets and rises, today's date, and the Moon visibility. This was a really educative project for me to learn about Symbian C++ and chronometry. I designed and coded the program in a way which enables you to run it continuously forever without going inaccurate. Well the summer time dialog goes invalid in 2050 but drop me a line if you need it extended when the time comes ;) The app only needs one thing before it begins to work accurately: the summer time (a.k.a daylight saving time) your country is using, if any.

Right now, both screens go white when not being used, almost like a screensaver. Sometimes it comes back right away when I press a key, other times it doesn't come back at all. Maybe someone here knows of someone in the NY metro areas who's really good with 9500 repairs? Any help is appreciated!...

I can successfully connect an Ericsson T39m phone to computers(Linux_XP)/GPRS) because I can disable data compression within the phone's wap/GPRS menu. Can I do the same thing in the Nokia 9300? Even when I disable data compression on the computers, I still can't connect. At least with my ISP, I seem to have to do it in the phone itself. I find it strange that I get no such error when using GPRS in the Nokia 9300 when it's used alone. Thanks for any pointers, Jake...

Whilst eBook can read txt files I prefer its use with the TCR file format. TCR is a compressed text file format, giving better compression than the Palm DOC format.  Andrew Gettings has released source code in C for the conversion of text files to and from the TCR format at http://www.cix.co.uk/~gidds/Software/TCR.html (www dot cix dot co dot uk / ~gidds / Software / TCR dot html). Replace dot with . and eliminate the spaces in the above address to go to the web page. The TCR conversion program written by Andrew is a pair of programs written to convert text files to and from TCR format, written in bog-standard ANSI C (well, gcc) and he says that they should compile anywhere. Now the challenge is to C programmers out there to get this code up and running on the S80 platform! Best wishes, Martin O'Neill...

Or that E161g is given to trouts to enhance the colour of their flesh? ;) Well, here's a freeware app named Exxx by me which can be used to check E numbers found in all kind of groceries. Coded in C++, it's fast and works beautifully on all S80 devices (92xx, 9300, 9500). Features over 300 E numbers to search from, and the application shows the name, the function, the foods it is used in, and some descriptive data of the additive. Screenshots follow.

So in XP SP3/Outlook 2007, my appointments do no suffer from the one-hour error when America goes to and from daylight savings time. Yet, in the Nokia 9300, even when I pick Washington D.C. as my homecity, and untick both daylight savings and automatic time update, I can not produce consistently matching timed entries. Even when synching an empty Nokia calendar, the Nokia still uses American daylight savings time, meaning that appointments during that period are off by an hour. I've searched the threads and find similar complaints, but mostly because people have had to change their homecities, which resulted in mis-timed appointments. I'm willing to stick with Washington D.C. no matter where I am. Any advice? My primitive workaround is to change the homecity to an American...
