    Heyo

    So I'm considering buying this phone on prepay from Meteor, considering it's only €150 which seems like an insane deal for a phone that costs well over 400 with prepay on my current network, 3.

    I'm just wondering, would it be much hassle to unlock the phone from Meteor pretty much straight after I get it & then get a microSim from 3 to use with it?

    Its €200 sim free from amazon, then you can use it on any network and dont have to deal with the hassle of unlocking it, if you've any warranty issues you deal with nokia ireland.

    Have to say the Lumia 610 for 99euro PAYG on vodafone is a bit of a bargain aswell. Talking to a guy who moved from Old Nokia pushbutton phone and he loves it....I think the phone is fine as a first basic smart phone that works simply.

    Screen not near a good as 800 however usability every bit their.

    My mam purchased this for my birthday. I only have to wait a few days but from reading up on reviews and such this seems like an excellent phone and at the price of €149.99? Yes please! :)

    So this is my replacement handset received 4 months ago. The other one was replaced because it started the charging problem problems and couldn't send or receive mms.

    And here we go again.....i can't send or receive mms!

    What a pita. Was told it was a probable aerial issue before, and again now? How unlucky could I be. Never once dropped this phone so can't be physical?

    Oh and software is up to date.

    I bought a lumia 800 as an Xmas present for my gf and she is switching from 3 to Vodafone. I choose the 21/12/2012 as the day to switch over. I received the new phone today and inserted the sim that came with it. My gf came home from work later and said her phone was not working due to no network being accessible. I called her number and the lumia 800 rang. I thought the new phone would not activate for another 3 weeks?

    Ok install network setup if not installed. If installed check you have the latest rev 2.6.0.1.

    Then check the operator you can manually add APN for your operator to the handset. You will find those settings on a quick search around boards or the web.

    I don't get the logic of it being a aerial issue.

    The web suggests its a APN or network issue. Which I would have thought too. Anywhere I read a solution it was fixed by messing or changing the APN setting.

    Ok will do. Does this mean the old phone will be back working with the 3 network?

    My apologies Tipsy McSwagger I was replying to Dub XV, timing on the posts. Your problem is network operator related and reversing that change could be problematic.

    I think that was directed for another post. The folks at the shop or Vodafone probably forgot to set the date and did it earlier

    My White Lumia 800 just stopped working yesterday, took it out of my pocket and the screen wouldn't light up, looked like it was switched off but couldn't switch it on again, tried charging it, holding every combination of physical buttons and still nothing 24 hours later so just handed it into the Nokia Care Centre in Limerick there, I'll update when the problem is resolved.

    When I received the replacement handset it was sending and receiving mms. I haven't touched the settings so why would it just stop sending mms?

    I love the Pac Man, its great. Mirrors Edge is free in the Nokia market place for all Nokia Lumia's. You can also download a Pac Man trial, so check them out and see what you think :D

    This happened to me. The first Nokia Lumia I bought never sent mms, no matter what settings were put in and downloading the Network App. The shop then swapped phones for another Lumia. It worked for a day, then stopped working, then would work intermittently before stopping altogether. Phone was with Fonemenders for 3 weeks and at Level 2 they were unable to find a solution. I ended up changing the phone for a totally different make.

    Yeah, this was a rumour started by wmpoweruser. Someone called lucky sent a tip saying it was coming out today and they just posted it. No one of importance has said it will be out today.

    Read the last couple of pages. If you do find a place, it costs around 60 euro and its not guaranteed.

    Seems as Nokia or the networks are trying to make it very hard to unlock for whatever reason.

    I unlocked mine with a code from the Vodafone website. No problems whatsoever. It's covered earlier in this thread...

    It's a different method that that which most people have been accustomed to for the last few years...

    Question on Lumia 800 offline GPS navigation.

    Found this statement dated June 2012 on one of Nokia forums “Nokia is now saying it is IMPOSSIBLE to add offline maps to Lumia 800 and 900 but it will be added to Lumia 820 and 920.”

    Is this still the case i.e. SatNav on Lumia 800 needs online connection?
