I have been trying to get my N70 music edition to work with my Vista machine over Bluetooth, and can’t seem to find the driver for it. I have the latest version of PC Suite 6.84, and my computer still want’s to update the bluetooh driver! Please help. Have any sugestions??? Thanks a bunch for any help you could send my way!!

Tommi,

the differentiation explanation for an NSeries PCSuite would be a nice one if it didn’t contradict the whole ‘platform’ mantra that Nokia has been pushing for so long. Lately, I strongly believe that it is the company’s internal structures that is indeed reflected in its output, such as having certain software only run on certain models.

The other explanation would be that Nokia intends to optimize segmentation and silos, and therefore is trying to screw their customers by not making software available for some models.

@zo
At least you can make this trick for SMS and PC SUITE: open “Messages” app from PC SUITE, highlight the syncronised messages and then COPY (to computer) with right-click. Done! (Didn’t try with MMS).

twaltari, it doesnt work through proxies (PC Suite doesnt need to connect to internet anyway, just if you launch NSU from PC Suite).

I have used both auto config scripts for proxy and also standard proxy (proxy 8080). Neither NSU or Map Loader will force a password prompt. All they ever do is tell me there is a network error/check connection.

And yes, I have tried no firewall etc

Is there any way to back up ALL my SMS/MMS messages as well?

I have hundreds of personal messages I would like to conserve and I cannot send SMS via Bluetooth or whatnot.

Any chance of doing this in the PC Suite or with some application?

I have a Nokia N80

Thanks!

It does work with HTTP proxies, using the settings from Internet Eplorer. What does your Internet Explorer proxy configuration dialog look like?

As said before, in this kind of situations there are two possible explanations:

1) Differentiation (i.e. offering something unique & valuable for some particular market segment, and charging higher price)

2) Conway’s Law (i.e. the organization’s output reflects the organization’s inner structure)

In this case, I believe it’s more about differentiation.

Note that this was just my personal half-***ed interpretation, not an Official Nokia Reply.

I know you won’t answer, but I’ll ask anyway: why a separate PC Suite for N-Series S60 only?

Thanks for the update Tommi. I had posted this early in the morning and left for the day. Didn’t realize that it was a no go until I got back home and had a few comments. Lol ironically it was still downloading after 6 hours of me not being home!

One suggestion I have if the R&D team is tweaking it.

PLEASE MAKE IT WORK THROUGH PROXY SERVERS!

I feel I have to shout because it always seems to fall on deaf ears at Nokia. Also, NSU and Map Loader need to work through proxies.

After all, can you think of any software, aside from Nokia’s, that cant access through proxies? I can’t.
