your number would be +61 439 123 456

i'm pretty sure the ''+61" replaces the zero...

ahhhhhhhhhh..........

i have one too! i was going to start a topic about it but didnt think i'd get much of a response!

i have a few problems with mine.......

1. when i make a song my ringtone, it simply does not work all the time. when it rings, all i get probably 95% of the time is the nokia tune, and every now and then, completly random, my actual chosen song will work! also, the tones i assign to certain contacts do the same thing, only work every now and then. and i think this is a little weird even moreso because i have another song as my alarm tone, but that works fine, 100% of the time.

2. i took a photo of my ladies chest (certain bits covered!) and attatched that image to her number, but it came up no matter who called me! so i had to take a photo of nothing (i just took a photo of a plain white wall) and used that as the pic for when everyone else calls me, but i cant delete that now. which i think is silly.

thats all i can think of right now, but i havnt used it for a couple months as i dropped it into an esky, and havnt taken it to get fixed yet! and yes, those problems were around before it went for a swim!

That is, I think, how International dialling works.
If it doesn't like that you could try 04 as the area code - similar to 08 in SA.
Their software may be dropping the first digit as it would if you had entered 08 12345678

the + just represents 00 so you can also try 0061 if +614..... doesnt work.

hahaha i can send you anything if the price is right!

i dont think i've had the problem with the reception dropping out like that, well, i havnt noticed it anyway.
and the camera turning on by itself, now that i think about it, i rekon i can remember a few times where this has happened, but i've just thought i must have done something, and ignored it.

After suffering with a N95 (IMO one of the biggest lemons in the 2007/2008 market), and deplorable service from Nokia Care, I vowed never to touch Nokia again. Looks like my decision was a wise one.

i guess that really depends on what you're looking for in a phone bruce! i mean, yeah, i'd love if my phone worked properly, but it really dosnt bother me that my favourite song cant be my ringtone! i'll live without that!

I have no problem using the OVI store
thing that frustrates me is the cost of any app or game any good
they want $12 for monopoly for example, on an I phone its about $4 or something
what I do hate is the ovi thing ya need on your computer, was one hell of an effort to upload some music from comp to phone and playing round to find it on the phone! I gave up only to find it had worked

My camera turns on occasionally, think you will find you may have touched the rear slide cover!
no real problem with that

I have the ring tone problem aswell, not as often as its sounds you guys do though!

Overall I think it is a bit of a let down, but the positive for me was it only cost me $75(excess for losing my phone) and i only need to have it for 6 or 7 months till my plan runs out

On the n95, I thought that wasnt a bad phone, I am what people say a phone abuser, in regards to ammount of calls and texts I send (eg 1200 recieved msgs in just over a month, guessing I would send a similar amount) and had no major problems with it. Maybe once a month it may freeze, but the thing was never ever turned off.

thing I will give the I phone a go next
but I have heard problems with them aswell, mainly they always getting sent it to be fixed type things!
