  • Utshavpoudel

    but why i cant make fring video call from e5?i can see video but my video cant see my
    frind

  • Manish Khadilkar

    The basic function of displaying caller name with that number is not there.. ridiculous… we call business phone, but cant see the number… also to view contacts phone numbers or details you need to press n number of buttons…. cant see the full contact… also the calls list is only 20 numbers…..surprising…. If i keep my obile off for one day…naturally the calls will be more than 20, but you cant see them… they get deleted after 20…. I am sure there will be no answers.. my bad luck.. :(

  • Rajkumar

  • Zialawyer

    you should copy all no to phone memory and, and use phone memory as default

  • frog

    @Mikey Bee – thankyou!

  • Mikey Bee

    @Frog. We had this issue. If you switch off the phone and take out the SIM then replace and switch back on it often solves the problem. Also had the same issue with my Nokia N8 and the same trick worked on that too. Let us know if it works!

  • frog

    Often when I recieve calls, even for a number installed on both my phone and sim memory, only the numer comes up and not the caller’s name (as saved under)
    however, sometimes the name does come up
    does anyone have a solution to this?

  • Tseganeh

  • http://gmail sebikevi

    Hello people can I ask for samething,I have a Nokia 6120 classic,and can my nokia downlad a software Wireless,if yes whos now any addres when I can download, THANKSSSS

  • dhruv

    you can download NIMBUZZ and then can get online on skype, tweeter, faceboook, yahoo, MSN, gmail all at once. I think the speed for internet and messages mainly depends on the network provider. Because I am using this E5 in China, and here it goes very quick, fast and efficient.
    The only thing I feel bad about buying this cell is that it does not have 3G video calling facility. I wish I knew that before… rest it’s just like E72

  • Anoop
