Two questions about the N75

Hi,

How can you check to see if your phone is unbranded?  Maybe it worked and I
just don't know the difference.

They are not the same things.  unlocked means that you can use your phone on
any GSM service with any SIM card.  Unbranded means that any operator
firmware like cingular or t-mobile has been removed and the generic nokia
firmware has been loaded on the phone.

  I thought unlocked and unbranded were one in the same thing. I know that
  there are some places in tampa, two shops that I know of, that were
  mentioned in the newspaper when all of this branding versus unbranding
issue
  came out aht will, for a fee, unbrand or unlock your phone. I went with an
  unlocked phone in the first place so I would not have this issue. It was
  more expensive but saved a lot of hassle, and, from what I have read on
this
  list,m my unlocked phone has more capability than the n75's sold by at&t
or
  cingular or whatever you call it...

    Hi,

    I already got the instruction.  I was hoping  that it could be done
    somewhere else.  I tried it but for some reason it didn't work so I
  stopped
    before I messed up my phone.  It's easy to do but I didn't understand
why
  it
    didn't work for me.

    No, it is something that is kind of do at your own risk.  It is
  discouraged
    by Cingular and that is why it is not readily available.  If you want to
    know how or try to do this, go to google and search for how to unbrand a
    N75.  I will not post instructions on this list because of the
liability.

      Hi,

      Are there places that can unbrand your phone for you if it's already
      unlocked?

      Actually Gwen, you are not correct.  By unbranding the N75 you can go
in
    to
      the settings and change the phone to be in GSM mode always.  It is the
  3g
      that is draining the battery.  Wehn setting it to GSM mode, it will
  extend
      the battery life considerably.  Give you about twice the battery life
  that
      you have when it is branded.

        Hi, I don't think an unbranded n75 is going to have a longer battery
    life
        than a branded one. I just wound up buying a couple of adapters and
    leave
      ne
        plugged in at work... Since I cannot have my cell on at work, I plug
  it
    in
        when I get there and I have no problems. Will check out your other
      question.

        My N75 is branded.  How can I extend its battery life?

        Also, can you access the other features such as notes or calendar
  while
        talking on the N75?
