MyE65 nervously captures the arrival of its new younger brother MyE63 After two weeks and numerous calls to Three, the Nokia E63 finally arrived today at work.
Many people wonder, what do you do next?
Plug the phone into the charger and leave it connected as long as you can. Ignore the user guide (not advisable but it happens). Insert sim card and battery. Try calling and SMS another phone. It worked. Turn off the key tones (don't know why people have them on). Try out the internet connection, worked well. Register for My3 website. Didn't work and spent 1 hour with 3 customer care whilst:

Didn't work and spent 1 hour with 3 customer care whilst:
- Transfer Contacts and calendar from the old Nokia E65 via Tools -> Transfer -> Bluetooth.
- Connect the phone via bluetooth to Nokia PC suite
- Install Google Maps. Change internet connection to WIFI. Test GPS dongle. Works well.
- Install GMail application. Login and check mail.
- Install Australia Maps via PC suite to Nokia Maps (now called Ovi Maps?)
- Check phone firmware is up to date. The latest firmware for the Nokia E63 is up to date
E63 RM-450
Firmware date 14/11/08
Firmware version 100.21.110
To check firmware version, enter *#0000# - Test Skype, worked very well.
I've also emailled the IMEI number to myself as well as the documentation for the phone and contract. This way, I can have it electronically available.
Call settings -> Show Call duration on, Summary after call on, Call Waiting on, Caller ID yes.
What were your first steps?
Hi, thank you for this blog! I learned quite a lot. I recently bought a black E63. When I look at the phone firmware info, it says:
ReplyDeleteFirmware date 14/11/08
Firmware version 100.21.110
But at the bottom part, it says E63 RM-437 instead of 450. Is this the latest firmware? Should I install another firmware? If so, where can I get it? I would very much appreciate it if you can provide a link. Thanks! :-)
Go to http://www.nokia-asia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update/download and click on the Nokia E63. if you are able to upgrade your firmware, you will know through this application. Hope this helps. Let others know about this blog :)
ReplyDeleteHey there. It's me again. I just finished checking for software updates and the PC suite says I have the latest version. But how come it still says RM-437 and not 450? I bought this phone from a Nokia Store so I don't think it is counterfeit. Is there something wrong with my black E63?
ReplyDeletePerhaps the 437 is a regional specification (ie 450 may be Australia or Asia Pacific)
ReplyDeleteBut I am in the Asia Pacific region. The box says the phone was made in Korea. I guess there might be something to it. Does it really matter if it's 450 or 437? What does it stand for anyway?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of GPS dongle do you use? Do you plug it directly to the phone?
ReplyDeleteYou don't plug the GPS Dongle into the phone, it connects wirelessly via Bluetooth :)
ReplyDelete450 v 437 are the various different model versions. No major differences.
