i installed new n 79 updates 20.175 and i found,
music player setting are too good but n 79 get Badly HANG sometime after new updates .
and no other way to restart your mobile only remove your battery from cell and again restart. very bad effect on cell phone life…
so b carefull
please send me update to my nokia N70 number is 0825589434
I syncronise with OVI phone book, calendar and notes.
After some time the incoming calls to my mobile does not show the name of the caller even though it is in my phone book. It shows only the numbers. In result even though my dialled call list contains the names of the called parties the ‘missed’ and ‘received’ call lists contain only the numbers.
Pl give me some advice to solve this problem.

Hello Prem Kumar,
I guess the Contacts would be duplicated on your Phone book. Thats the reason you are seeing the number instead of the name when u dial / receive a call.
Try and delete one set of contacts and keep your phone book contacts unique. By doing this you will be able to see the name when u dial / receive a call instead of the number.
Rgds,

I posted some comments before anyway, because lots of your stuff is really informative.Absolutely amazing man!
Say what you will, Nokia are still top of their game. I’d prefer a Nokia to an Iphone anyday
