Nokia Communication Centre – how long have you got?
Aug 7th, 2008 by handolio
While writing Sunday’s post I remembered that the Nokia Suite lets you connect your phone and browse its text messages. At least in theory. Version 6.something of the Nokia Communication Centre seemed to hang once it had chalked up a couple of bars on the progress meter, so I’ve downloaded version 7.0.7.0 – didn’t the European Union do away with ridiculous version numbering in a 2003 directive?
The new version works, after a fashion. After an eternity, also. I’ve got a lot of messages on my phone, to be fair, but I can back up the entire thing in a fraction of the time it takes the erratic progress meter to crawl across Nokia Communication Centre’s screen.
When it’s done, I can see my texts, but I managed to hang it earlier trying to save the important ones and clear the rest. Since then it refuses to update properly. Frustratingly, I’ve received a text I still can’t read.
I don’t remember a version of the Nokia PC Suite that ever worked perfectly. If I’m deciphering the version number correctly it’s on the seventh revision of the seventh release; it should be better than it is.
Still, I suppose it’s Nokia’s way of telling me to get a new phone.
that was probably me asking if you were watching the storm
i’m jealous of the view from yours – we could just see crazy manic flashing in the sky, not the actual forks of lightning. Still – was utterly amazing none the less.
Yeah, I’ve read it now – it was, I was
I managed to have an entire conversation earlier with someone who was kind enough to ring to tell me that they weren’t going to make it to the pub. I couldn’t see who it was, and I couldn’t hear them well enough to recognise their voice. I’ve still got no idea.
I should get the phone swapped out, but I kind of like the random.
UPDATE: It was Mark. Sorry Mark.
That’s fine. Let’s pretend it was a bad line and not a lack of familiarity / forgetfulness of the conversation we’d had scant hours before. You should give in and get an iPhone. Do it. You deserve it.
