I find it faster to use than my old 6680. Mine sometimes shuts down and re starts and it sometimes closes the web browser if I'm on normal internet. BAttery life is getting better now I have stopped it from connecting to the net all the time.

but it can be a tad slow when accessing things like text message page

Menu-Tools-Settings-Connection-WirelessLAN-ShowAvailability Set to Never


best thing i found is turn off bluetooth, dont search for wifi and if you do access net/wlan set it to ask when you connect. also if you have "non preinstalled themes" on they can also drain it (so i heard)

also turning the Packet data to "when needed" not, "when available" helps too.....

First got mine about a month ago..thought it was great..

But its wank. Im sick of phoning people by accident as when i bend at work it slides open in my pocket thus removing the keypad lock

Other than that it is a good phone but its annoying me ringing people

If you go onto www.mobile9.com you might be able to download a program to get a secondary keylock. I got one for the N70 as it didn't come with a keylock as standard

if you go into the security settings theres sommat there that locks the phone after a certain time and then will only unlock when you enter a code

got mine set to 1 min before it locks, also stops cooooonts noseying thru your phone lol

Yeah the security lock..... Its good for the reasons you've put.... But 1 minute is the minimum it will take for the phone to lock, which is pretty useless if its in your pocket rattling about.
