Aside from terrible battery life and crumby 'art' pics from the camera, this is a great phone.

If you can't sync with your mac you should spend more time o the Google -- <http://nokia6300.net/8/new-version-of-the-nokia...>

works like a charm.

We are onto our 4th one. The N95 8GB of the Volvo world, having started out with a Motorola 9600.

The really new ones are apparently the N96 model – looks nice, in theory should be better, but just doesn't quite crack it. Friend who purchased new Volvo is disappointed. As I predict N96 buyers will be.

Why would you use a Volvo salesman?

They are mostly Mrs Mike42's knitting circle, plus a few used Volvo Estate salesmen.

If I had friends I wouldn't have so much time to post here :-/

Curse you, deliverer of free handsets! How dare you not allow for my bordering-on-mobile-fetishist requirements

Maybe in order to complete the circle of living the Normob experience, you should dump 1,450 of your contacts and see how the rest of the world lives?

I was given it to use … by one of the companies I'm working with!

Dude, you're a high-flying, power-using businessman.

It's the salesman's fault for not giving you the phone you need.

Surely?

I just have to live in reality. Woe is me. Woe is the mobile industry.

1500 is *quite* a lot. Especially given that it's sold as a middle of the road handset…

(and if the specs say so Ewan, can you really moan?)

1500 contacts ought to be be enough for anybody /billg

I'd say, it's time for a prune. Do you really still need the number of the takeaway from when you lived in the other side of the country?

On the spec page – http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4275191 – it says it has up to 7.8MB internal memory. Assuming all the memory can be allocated to contacts – that's about 5Kb per contact. Probably a sensible amount if you're reserving space for several phone numbers, work and home addresses and a photo.*

Of course, with the price of memory crashing at the moment, they could have stuck a GB of memory in there and not had to jack the price up much.

*Although the same spec page says it can store 1000 contacts. So Ewan got 50% extra FREE!

S40 is a phone OS with applications built on top, S60 is a mini computer OS with phone computability built on top.

That aside, I agree, why is there a 1500 limit for contacts?

This says to me that Nokia should have a headline figure like “1500 contacts” on the box. Althought 1500 contacts is soooooo beyond the norm that they probably never even considered it.

Other possible labels? “works with PC only”, “1 minute startup time”, “Inaudible walking down street” etc.

That may have prevented any angst. But, somehow, I doubt it.

If I'd paid a tenner for it, sure. This isn't a business phone then, in any
way, shape or form?

but its only a little phone Ewan….!

Series 40 phones have gained a lot in the last year or so with some great screen resolution that matches it's bigger brother the series 60 so its easy to think they can do as much as the the 60… But they can't !

Thats why they have two operating systems I guess….
