Trying to upgrade my N80's firmware via datacable and Nokia PC Suite, suggests I backup my phones memory first or I'll lose all contacts, messages etc etc, so I follow the instructions and goto back it up on the memory card as advised, it goes through the process and comes up with a "Memory card is full, delete some data" type of message, so I've taken all the pics and vids off it (and put them to my PC for now), the 128mb memory card now has 120mb free - yet I still keep getting the message.

Can I backup this kind of info backwards through PC Suite onto my PC or is that just the address book?

Anyone?

Backed it up through my PC, restored it and despite saying it backed up my text/mms they aren't there after the restore
Grrr!

EDIT: Neither are the themes I had!
Does seem faster than before though.

Hmmm, just realised that it has got rid of all my sms settings - message centre number etc etc which has pissed me off majorly! Can't send or recieve texts!
Any idea how to get them back? I'm on O2

I've flashed my nokia with different firmware than I was supposed to and managed to easiloy back up and restore everything including themes and messages, so not a nokia problem.

Get a decent sized memory card.

How is it not a nokia problem? The software and phone are made/designed by nokia

You have to upgrade the software to make it work properly?


Never updated the p910 and that works a treat!
