![]() The phone does has a mini-USB port on the bottom, (good, so you don’t have to buy a special Nokia lead) so it is actually possible to connect the phone to a computer and access the memory card directly, effectively using the phone as a card reader, but I shouldn’t have to carry an extra lead. Speaking of the camera, it is a shame there is no lens cover to protect it, nor is there a light or macro mode. If you are using the phone’s camera on a day-to-day basis, you need to be able to remove the card easily. This is not some ‘fit and forget’ item like the SIM card. Whereas the k750i has a rubber cover for the memory card, the slot on the 6300 is buried away and you have to remove the back cover to get to the memory card slot. I had realised that I would have to change from the Memory Stick Duo in the k750i to a MicroSD card, but was at first stumped when I came to look for the slot. This is a glaring omission on a modern bluetooth enabled phone. I did find a way round this using my Apple Mac, but I shouldn’t have had to resort to that. I was not prepared to sit and transfer one contact at a time and copying to the SIM was not an option, as this truncates the names, so I would have to spend time correcting all the contacts. Sending a single contact at a time works, but not the whole phone book. Unfortunately, Nokia phones don’t seem to support this. Ever since my first bluetooth phone (T39m), I have been able to ‘send all contacts’ via bluetooth to the new phone. A Glaring Omissionįirst thing to do on receipt of the new phone was to transfer my phone book from the old phone. Unfortunately, Sony appears to be trying to turn all the phones into Walkman clones, and the last three (T68i, T630 and k750i) have all exhibited the common Sony Ericsson joystick failure problems, so I decided to give Nokia a try and chose the Nokia 6300. ![]() Some Nokias didn’t even have a normal telephone ringtone. ![]() ![]() I had always stuck with Ericsson phones (starting with the analogue EH237, then on digital: GH388, I888, R320, T39m, T68i, T630 and lastly the K750i) because the menu system always made sense compared to Nokia, and prior to Sony getting involved, Ericsson had always made the serious phones with useful features, whereas Nokia had gone the route of appealing to those more interested in silly ringtones and swappable covers. My Sony Ericsson k750i started playing up recently: locking up requiring a battery removal to reset, but then continuously vibrating on switch on, or going very slow, not responding to key presses, so I decided it was time for a change. If you are looking for information on opening the USB cover, see this post. The correct customer focused response would have been “we appreciate the inconvenience the delay in getting the Mac version released is causing our valued Mac based customers, so we have extended the discounted map offer to those customer for a period of one month after the software is released.” We’re doing our best to come out with an update as soon as possible so every customer could download maps and updates using their own pc or mac.īut for now unfortunately indeed there isn’t much our mac customers can do for downloading maps besides using a different windows based computer. I contacted TomTom, suggesting that since they’d failed to get a Mac version out in time for the offer, they should extend the offer for Mac users. Q: why are TomTom being so slow to release version 2 for Mac? Q: why can’t the map be downloaded directly from TomTom’s website as was the case if the past? Q: why is version 2 required to install a map, something version 1.5 was perfectly capable of doing previously?
