Thanks! Didn't think of that!!

Ha! It works! That's the way I'll do it from now on - the way Nokia tell you is really complicated!

Thanks for the tip Wazza

It's sooooo much quicker & easier to send the pics to photobucket with the app. Only takes about 30 seconds per pic, quicker than with the pc!

glad i was of help yes its a really good app and makes the job so much easyer

Yep! You do have your uses sometimes!

Do you have your SIM card sorted yet ??

Nope. I've got to wait for a new sim card.

They have brought 2 new versions out of that phone since you ordered it

about 80% of the pop. here in finland has that phone Caryll

Have you tried this

Hold down the volume down button and the power button for 10 seconds and it should restart successfully.

Done that & the screen's still blank.

Any more sugestions? I'll be phoning them tomorrow to try & sort it, but if you can sugest anything in the meantime...........

Have you tried any of this:

Nothing seems to do anything. I know the phone's working - you can hear it & feel the vibration when you press things, but just no screen - and as it works from the touch screen, at the moment it's useless!

Sorry Caryll I just dont what else to suggest. I guess you can now only hope they can help in the shop tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for you

Thanks anyway, Kathy!

Hope that office has tin hats

Tin hats, they're gonna need those suits the bomb disposal wear

Did you get it sorted at the shop, or did they come out with a load of BS ???

Well, good news & bad news. I had to take it to the local Nokia store which (luckily) is quite close.

Basically, I used it in the rain & water got in. So it's down to me. It's cost £55 to replace the front, but the guy in the shop told me to claim the cost of a new phone on my contents insurance because although it's been repaired there's no telling what damage might have been done that he can't see & it could go wrong in the future.

Water damage isn't covered by the warranty.

Ohhhh have you checked your contents policy to see if it's covered ??

Hate insurance companies and warranties they always find a way around it. The last dog I had was a boxer who thought it would be a good idea to eat my sofa. Phone house insurance and they asked was it my dog? cos if it is my dog then I'm not covered. I said no I left the door open and a fecking wild dingo walked in and did it.
