I've rec'd Nokia N95 8Gb

Whats my chances of being successful in this claim, its the first time ive had to do such a thing. Do Ebay side with the buyer or the seller??. If worse comes to worse then i suppose i could just put it on ebay and sell it for the same price i bought it for. But then id be liable for ebay charges which i think are extortionate along with paypal fees.

Someone did this to me with a Samsung d600 a few years ago - they were actually selling the unique Orange version (which offered slightly different functionality) but presenting it as a plain unbranded D600. I opened a dispute and centred my argument on the obtrusive Orange firmware interfering with my own network operator's functions and the fact that the D600e lacked the connectivity of it's D600 cousin - eventually I agreed to keep the phone in return for the seller bearing the cost of having the phone reflashed with a generic firmware (about £25).

Incidentally how much do these N95s tend to go for second hand? Ordinarily I'd sign up to Vodafone and get one but I'm currently on Tmobile's flext35+WnW and would prefer to keep the tariff.

Well i recently sold my N95 on ebay for £250 with a 2gb card but looking at ebay...they still command a price of about £250-£300 brand new unlocked and sim free. Plenty of them on there.

As for my situation, well im opening a dispute tommorrow as he still hasnt replied back to my email about my concerns. The guy is a knob, left him neutral feedback and he replied saying that i am of poor mentality lol and that he answered 3 times to my email...yeah he did ill admit but it wasnt in reply to my questions about when hes sending the phone...replied 3 times when he emailed me on monday saying he had posted the phone out. Anyways just have to wait till tommorrow to open a dispute, i have a feeling though that ill hear from him before then as he knows i have 10 days before i can open a dispute.

Nope wont be the new one till the new yr sorry to say, Vodaphone have the exclusive i think. The one on the o2 website would be the old one with a 8gb mem card...if its not black in colour then it isnt the new one...simplest way to tell between the 2:).
 
Taken from another forum :-

1. Louder,faster Music player.
2. Nokia Maps loading and surfing faster
3. Clearer Multimedia menu
4. Different background on Search 4.00
5. Faster moving through Menu while music is playing in background
 
Ive done the upgrade.

No.1 tip: If your moving from operator to generic firmware, DO NOT restore your phone. It majorly messes it up.
I managed to do a hard reset then reinstalled the firmware with the PC app to get it working again.

Seems a bit nippier. And theres a few new menu options too.:).

(I got this from another forum and tried and tested it. 100% working)

HERE'S HOW TO DO IT:

STEP 1: register at http://www.yamigo.com/index.php?option=com_registration&task=register

name: any
username: anybody (maximum of 6 letters, no symbols allowed)
e-mail: [email protected]
yahoo User ID: anybody fetch contacts? (check)
yahoo Password: **** (put your yahoo password here)
msn user id: [email protected] fetch contacts? (check)
msn password: **** (put your msn password here)
aim user id:
aim password:
icq user id:
icq password:

* send registration.

STEP 2: open your email add. you'll find your log-in name PLUS password there.

STEP 3: open IM on your phone. you'll get the "no server defined. define one now?" message. choose yes.

STEP 4: type the following into the respective boxes:

server name: yamigo (or anything you like)
access point in use: choose your gprs access point
web address:
Code:

www.yamigo.com/wv/control

user id: anybody
password: the one from your email ad

STEP 5: log in and kiss agile and IM+ goodbye! cheers!


HERE'S A TIP:
if you're tired of cnn and bbc sending you those rss feeds all the time, just send "stop" as an IM. if you miss having those feeds pester you, then just send "start". by the way, don't forget to save BOTH as your IM contacts so you can IM them to stop and start as you please.
 
Ive changed my product code and im about to update the firmware but does anyone know how to get the vodafone settings back on the phone for things like the internet and mms?

0549487: EURO1, i think. :p Cant remember now.:p.

The generic firmware has an operator settings wizard on it. No need to worry about gprs/wap/mms settings.:)

The only problem im having thus far, is that it seems to auto install any apps that were installed on the flash drive previously.
Which is good, unfortunately, the two customised apps, the VF Messenger & eBay are present and wont open OR delete!?
Otherwise it works fine though. :).

...plus you get VoIP back :)

You lose the Spiderman 3 movie though (activation key disappears).

Is it worth trying to manually delete the Vodafone apps beforehand, assuming its even possible? I've heard apparently the "Youtube" application doesn't work either...
