Hi Guys, Found one amazing issue with Nokia 3105. When I set Alarm clock, it's valid only one time and does not repeat daily. So you have to set the alarm daily. Anyone else has noticed the issue and have update ? Checked my firmware and it shows: SW Version V J150V0401.nep 01-09-04 RH-48 ©NMP I guess 01-09-04 is software release date which doesn't seem to be age old. Regards UD

If you don't need camera, go for 6585. With 3105/3125/6225/6585 you will have to use data cable for Rconnect - Infrared won't work. However infrared is best to get your phone syncronized with your laptop. If you don't want to sync with your laptop, then go for 3125 or like me for 3105 that is the cheapest one. I got mine at 5.5K at WW. Regards UD

I wrote this to Nokia India support by email and they confirmed saying it's just like that. Pretty strange considering even my 3 yr old 3350 has alarm clock that can be set on a day wise basis. Dunno why such basic features are left out of CDMA phones. Even the alarm snooze function is missing on 3105. Anyway, as long as the phone servers my purpose i.e. speakerphone which is very good, I don't care much.

Does anyone have info on where apart from Nokia shops or Webworld to get the DKU5 cable that will work with PC Suite as well and not only for Rconnect. I tried to buy one from Baazee and this cable is not even working for Rconnect on my 3105. Has anyone bought the DKU5 cable available on the RIMWEB accessories site ? Regards UD

Hi Guys, Just bought a 3105 a week back. Found that RWorld is working with most of the options. I still get application errors sometimes while downloading ringtones but have downloaded 2-3 without any issues. Was this something already working ? Or this is new ? Regards UD

Hi there Ashish, Just bought 3105 too. And I use following codes for a long time - just checked and these work on 3105 as well. So you should not have any problems. *305 followed by number where you want the calls to get forwarded is what you are supposed to dial. For voice mail dial *3053600. To cancel all call diverts dial *308 If you need code for forward all calls, checkout RIM site - I don't use that usualy so don't remember. Hope this helps. Regards UD

Have you downloaded and installed DKU-5 driver from Nokia website ? Just installing PC Suite won't help. Regards UD

Maybe this is off topic but would still post the question. Anyone in Mumbai has bought 6585 or 6225 or 3205 ? I have been told at Malad / Borivali webworlds that these handsets are out of stock. Regards UD

Interesting . . I haven't seen any such chart when I visited webworld yesterday (Saturday). Anyway . . is it because RIM wants to launch new phones soon ? Nokia 6255 ? Stock Clearance maybe !! Regards UD

Yes ! None of the current Nokia models on RIM have RWORLD. Regards UD

Hi nil, Nokia 6225 has everything you want and if you can live without RWORLD. If you like funky phones, select 3205 that has a torch too and it actualy works. The lower cost 6585 is same as 6225 without camera. Regards UD

Anyone checked 6585 model ? I checked Nokia site and feature wise it looks much better than 6012 or 3105. Mainly Infrared connectivity (PC Suite), 500 contacts and FM Radio and all legendary user friendly Nokia features. Looks like this is CDMA equivalent of 6610 plus voice dialing. I would prefer this over camera phones any time. Anyone has info on pricing ? If it's around 7500/- this should be better buy. Regards UD

Looking at the specs of 2280 and GSM phones, both use DKU-5 cable. So if you have bought DKU-5 cable, it should work on both CDMA and GSM phones. However my brother bought a local cable for 2280 which works perfectly for RConnect but is not working on GSM with Nokia PC Suite so it may be a issue of local vs genuine Nokia cables. Regards UD

Well . . I differ on the opinion on Nokia. I feel it's the user friendly features and "choice of features and phones" that's keeping them going. In almost every case you would find a Nokia phone that would suit your need right from entry level users to business users and gadget freaks. And Redshift, while I agree on the delay from Nokia on speakerphone front, just compare the quality of lowest cost Nokia speakerphone 2300 against speakerphone on any similar priced panasonic phone and you will know the difference. Not that I favour Nokia handsets on each count but I don't feel it's only their marketing that is getting them big market share. And of course once you have a brand name, you can and should demand some premium at least. Regards UD

Hey Raccoon, That sounds strange. I have a flat on the outskirts of Lonavala city and I get damn good coverage there whereas my dad's GSM phone keeps switching between operators because it hardly gets coverage. On highways the coverage is poor but I'm ready to live with that. Regards UD

I went in to WW at Malad-Mumbai and they had no info on Nokia 3105. Then I called CC and the guy tells me the handset info put on website is correct but the model is yet to be released officialy. Frankly, looking at the specs/features I feel this may just be the handset I am looking for. Regards UD

Hi Raccoon, I tried to stimulate the problem you are having using my 2030 phone and a spare handsfree I had bought but no success at all. Looking at the description you have given, I feel it may be handset problem and not handsfree. Since LG guys haven't changed your handset, the best way to determine whether it's handset problem or not would be to do some tests as follows if you are able to get hold of someone having 2030 handset and working handsfree: 1) Try your handsfree with other 2030 phone. 2) Try your phone with other working handsfree. 3) Take a look at settings of both phones - particularly voice privacy & clear voice settings and see if it makes any difference. Next options would be to get LG guys change your handset firmware or replace the handset itself since it's under warranty. Lets hope to get your problem sorted out soon. Regards UD

One more site to get info on Windows XP bootable CD and also on making Updated Office 2003 CD's etc http://unattended.msfn.org/ Regards UD

Hi Guys, Does the 2030 data cable work for 5130 too ? How about the LG Desktop software ? I haven't seen any version for the same on RIM or LG websites yet. Regards UD (I'm writing my initials to avoid confusion as I found there's one more Umesh on the forum)

I'm surprised that no full review of LG 5130 has appeared here. I'm not talking of specifications but how the phone feels and more importantly how does it work compared to other phones. Hope I didn't miss any review that has been posted. Can any 5130 users share their experience please ? Regards Umesh

Have not actualy checked that but it should change. Otherwise Reliance will have to keep one IP address reserved for each phone which is not logical.

Has anyone used the car Kit ? How is the performance in terms of voice and charging too ? I know there may not be a single person who bought this given that it costs 3150/- Regards Umesh

Well . . . we tested this card to check whether we can buy a few for company usage. Installation on various laptops was tested and no issues found (Compaq & Dell laptops with Win2K / XP). Then we took the card to Bangalore / Mumbai / Delhi and adjoining areas. Speedwise it's better than serial cable and at times it gives almost 20KB download speeds at times which means it does give you 144Kbps. But USB cable anyway gives you that speed. We found a few times the card simply does not get registered with the RIM network while we could use RIM handset at the same place so reception might be a problem. Apart from that no issues. So nothing special as such. We decided not to go for the cards as the initial cost is too high. You get the USB cables at much cheaper price. And tarrif is same as usual RConnect. Regards Umesh

Guys, I may be wrong but I clearly remember the serial port pin configuration on COM ports of PC's has pin's 2 & 3 as transmit and receive (or vice versa). In this pin configuration I don't see those pin numbers used at all. So a cable with that pin configuration on PC side should not work. I'll try to check my cable configuration tonight and post the same. Can anyone check this once again please ? Regards

Hi All, Checked out the 2112 phone specs on Nokia India website. Nothing much interesting as such. Biggest surprise is there is no mention of "Data Connectivity" !! When I checked other nokia websites, found the same - seems it doesn't have data connectivity. Regards Umesh
