In some other respects, the N91 lacks the ease of use of Apple's iPod, and the user interface. Nokia's N91: 4GB wireless jukebox, and phone.

Where are you located and did you get your phone through an operator (O2 etc?). It could be tht your country/operator has not approved the sw yet (they will eventually im sure). For the time being 1.10 is still better than 1.00 but no WDRM. Mman

MORNE just plug the USB Cable to PC, there will be 3 options, chose DATA STORAGE MODE, you dont need any drivers/software, your N91 will automatically shows as an Removable Disk Drive in MY Computer.. (For WIN XP with Service Pack 01 or 02) than enjoy 4gb space.. bye
can this phone be used as a storage device with its 4gb micro?

You probably could get away with no HDD format but i followed the steps. I guess just try it without doing the HDD format and if you run into problems then just repeat the steps again pappy

Hi everyone. Well its FINALLY here. You can upgrade you software at home using official, Nokia Blessed software. Thanks Mman for the heads up.
Even though I already had 2.00.052 software I wanted to give it a try - I DID and it worked great. So here is what you do (i copied Mmans steps but added my own comments) 1) Make sure you have the latest PC suite (6.81)from : http://europe.nokia.com/A4144903, if not then install it 2) Then go to here : http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,1522,00.html?orig=/softwareupdate, or http://www.nokiausa.com/support/software/softwareupdate/1,8838,00.html? and download the Nokia SW update app and install it (note you need 256Mbytes of RAM on your PC, my old one downstairs could not load it). I used the USA site (even though I am in the UK I thought Id try it) 3) Now backup you N91 and format HDD a) PC suite Backup: You need to backup your N91 ROM Start up PC suite. Connect your N91 with the USB cable to the PC and on select 'PC suite' connection mode on the N91 Then select the backup function in PC suite. Make sure under settings you choose 'include only phone memory on your backup'. Then hit backup b) Save the HDD stuff: Copy your Music, Videos, Pictures etc from the device HDD to your PC. I simply drag and drop using USB mass storage c) Copy an SISX themes, applications, Java Games you downloaded to the PC. Do not drag and drop the installed files to the PC (remember the Tips where dragging them back may cause a problem) d) FORMAT your hardrive (i used quick format) 4) Now update the SW using the Nokia Software Updater. a) Start the program but do not connect the N91 yet until it tells you to in the Getting started window ( it told me to attach a charger but my battery was full so I didn't bother) b) Also do NOT answer calls or make a call during the process (it needs to be online for some reason so you cant switch it to offline mode, I tried and it detected it and told me to go online) c) It told me my phone software is already up to date but if I want I can install it. This is great since I was worried it would only allow you to upgrade and lets face it with all the 3rd party apps etc sometime you just need to refresh your phone and start again. I read on one blog that a persons so called 'HDD problem' was actually a case of the phone sw getting wonky with some installation, the service center reflashed the same sw and voila good as new. Now we can do it at home :). I clicked on the little box, took a deep breath and hit re-install... d) Well it was actually smart enough to know I did not have a charger attached......anyhow I went a got the charger. e) I have adsl and it took 12 minutes to reflash my phone. Phone rebooted and I was ready to go- brilliant f) Then the 'installing' stuff it did when I first bough the N91. I let it finish without interrupting it g) I decided to make sure the phone C drive was clean so I did the *#7370# (code 12345) h) After the re-boot I checked the SW *#0000# - and I was back at 2.00.52 :) 5) Okay now restore your phone ROM from PC suite a) Start up PC suite and connect your N91 (select PC suite mode) b) Select the backup function again c)Select the restore button and highlight the backup you want to restore. Hit OK 6) I then copied my HDD contents back on and re-installed the few apps I had (podcast etc, themes). This took me about 40 minutes So in less than one hour I had cleaned up my N91. Reflashed it and its as good a new. Now when they have a new version of sw (or I need to clean it up for real) I can do it again. So for everyone out there that still has 1.00, 1.10 etc try it out (note I suspect that not all operator sw will be there straight away there always seems to be a lag there but keep trying) pappy

Jesus. This phone is the s*** after the upgrade. The sound is so crisp and clear witht he headset. I love this f***in phone now!! Thank you Nokia!!! I thought this thing was a waste of money when I first bought it, but now with the new firmware and all the bugs fixed, I couldn't be any more happy with my decision to get this phone.
To bader, pappy Shayne
I just upgraded my N91 with the official SW from Nokia and its GREAT!. Now I can update my own N91 when new Sw comes or refresh my device if somehow I screw it up: Bader the 256MB is what your PC must have in RAM. My older PC got the same message and I had to use my newer laptop. Pappy try it out! Info: 1) Make sure you have the latest PC suite (6.81)from : http://europe.nokia.com/A4144903, or other local regional sites. 2) Install the Nokia software update application sw from http://www.nokia.co.uk/softwareupdate (note you need 256MBytes of RAM on your PC) 3) Then program your phone a) Backup your phone memory (ROM) using PC suite (to preserve your DRM activation keys etc). b) Copy your files (Music, Videos, Documents, Images etc) from the device HDD to your PC (recommended to use USB Mass storage). c) Copy your applications, themes etc (original SISX, Java etc files before you installed them) from your HDD to your PC (Do not simply copy the installed directories/files over) d) FORMAT your HDD e) Proceed with SW update (note you need to be attached to a charger and not in offline mode. Do not answer or make call or disconnect the device during this process) f) Reset your phone memory by typing *#7370# (code 12345) (recommend this just to be safe) g) Restore your phone memory using PC suite h) Copy back your HDD contents from your PC to your clean HDD h) Re-install your applications/themes Mman

So the N91...
OK, where to start. It is a big phone so there is much to say.
Firts of all, it is huge!But that does not always mean it is a bad phone. People would describe it as a brick, I would describe it as a whole house inside a brick. I've always been a Nokia fan, but this phone did disappoint me a bit. Being at this moment, on top of the Nokia Nseries, I would think of it as the best Nokia phone so far, but not quite. I have had no problems with any of its functions so far.I love the fact that it has a 4Gig Harddrive, maybe thats why it is so heavy! Nice camera, but after a picture has been taken, sometimes, the image gets lighter and other times darker, it has to do with the light reflection I suppose. It has no flash, which I would have liked in the N91, it is such a big phone you are to think that there has to be more than enough space to have put it in as well. Being able to record video up to an hour at a time is a huge improvement for me, having a Nokia 6600(which can only record up to 14seconds max.) before the N91. Than the speed. If you had to put the N91 and a snail in a race, the snail would win. OK its not that bad, but the phone is definitely to slow for me!! I takea ages to open an application. Even the menu takes to long! Screen resolution: Being part of the Nseries, where 'See new' is one of the slogans, it again fails. I thought the screen resolution would be like the Samsung D600 and even hoped for better, but no, it don't even compare to the D600. But don't get me wrong, it is definitely better that the usaul Nokias. And at last the thing that hitted me the hardest, the battery!! It is suppose to last up to 10 days, but does not even last a whole day!!! It is suppose to play 12 of music, but would last for 4-5 hours tops! Being a Music phone, its speaker isn't that good!! I rated the phone 3.5 because despite all the disappointments I still go crazy for Nokia!!I would recommend this phone only for true Nokia fans and music lovers. IPOD OF PHONES
The N91 is an awesome phone with very Unique looks. When holding it, it feels like holding something really strong..not like holding a sonyericsson w800 with flimsy like feeling or a treo 700 being fragile n all.
Its got a built in 4gb hard drive guyz.....which phone has that...I'd say none. The phone has wifi , fm radio , real player..MP3 player of course but it lacks the high resolution screen like the Nokia N80, also lacks the quad band feature like the N80 and the external speakers are not as good as the Nokia N80 either.The N91 has the 2 megapixel with no flash where as the N80 has an 3 megapixel camera with flash. Last but not least the N91 is bigger and heavier phone than the Nokia N80. However if the Nokia N80 would have not released then the Nokia n91 would have been the best buy. I know that I sold my N91 and got the N80 as the features on the N80 weighed a little more than the Nokia N91. Overall, the Nokia 91 is worth buy if ure looking to replace ure treo, V3i razor, sonyericsson w800 ot p910i or even the samsung t809,d800.

pwede bumati?team moirae..hi So close, yet so darn worthless
Hi,
I own this phone; picked it up in Germany about a month ago. Sadly, I think I am going to have to send it back and avoid Nokia for the rest of my life. Here is the deal. I got this phone because of the camera, the hard disk and the WiFi. The camera takes nice photos, and the music with me all the time is beautiful. The main issues: Wifi doesn't work if you use an encrypted network. The settings are there, but the phone will never connect. So, you can't use it at home if you have a secure network (unless you steal from your foolish neighbors). This also means you can't sync the phone to your computer via wifi. Well, you can never actually sync your phone to your computer if you have a reasonably new system (any dual core processor). Do a google search on 'PC Suite No Connection'. I have installed, and painstakingly uninstalled the software about a dozen times. Other than the first install, of the oldest version I could find, it hasn't worked. The newer software version so heinously damages your registry that no previous version can be successfully installed. So, no calendar, and no way to update contacts. Now I'm at two strikes. Next is the battery. It is rated at 400 hours? No. Try 24 hours. Absolute tops. You can squeeze about 80 hours out of the battery if you put the phone in offline mode (no incoming or outgoing calls), and you don't use the camera or the music player. I've tested this over a month, and I have tried every permutation. Yes, I 'seasoned' the battery according to the Nokia policy. Last: Bluetooth. It won't connect to my car: BMW M3. My old Sony connects, Nokia won't. Do a search on it, you'll get numerous hits. Note, the BMW M3 was voted Editor's Choice by CNET for the Bluetooth integration; It is a $60K car, so it isn't as if they used second rate gear. Closing opinion... It makes decent phone calls. Nothing else on the phone works as described. Nothing. 123

One of the best phones ever
Wow this is everything I could hope for in a phone and more. I just recieved my N91 on Wednesday the 14th of march. When I first opened the box I was amazed by how much came with the phone. You get everything you need plus much more. First the symbian 60 operating system works very well much to my surprise. The PC is awsome it give you the ability to sync almost anything to it. The first thing I did was sync Microsoft Outlook with no problems. After that I transfered a little over 1000 songs with the built in 4 gb hard drive. So far the email and music has had no operating problems and are very friendly. The bluetooth and WiFi also work very well, someone else wrote a review and said that he could not connect to a secured network but I use a 2wire router that is security enabled and I have had no problems. I was very impressed with the metal design not being plastic made. Surprisingly for a slider it is very solid and feels like a real phone in your hand. The screen is a great size and is easy to read what is displayed. The fact that is has a 3.5mm headphone jack is awsome I was able to hook up my $200 Bose headphone and rock out right from the beginning. As the way it stands this by far my favorite phone by far. The only thing I have to say bad about phone is just that the 2 mega pixel camera could have been made a little better but with 20 times digital zoom it's not to bad.
