If you’ve followed our guide on How to properly setup and configure Nokia Messaging on the N900, you might have come across this problem. If try to add a Yahoo email to your Nokia Messaging account at http://email.nokia.com it will tell you: “This email address must be added on the phone.”

You can easily add Google Mail, Windows Live Hotmail, Ovi Mail, and POP/IMAP email accounts at http://email.nokia.com, but not a Yahoo account. The reason is simple, as a Nokia rep explains: “Yahoo is somewhat special for Nokia Messaging in that you aren’t allowed to add Yahoo email addresses on the email.nokia.com website.  That’s basically due to legal reasons–per our Yahoo contract we need to disable Yahoo support in a few countries (the list is small and includes US embargoed countries like Cuba) and we can’t really tell what country you are in unless you do it from the phone.”

As promised, Nokia Messaging for S60 5th edition has now received full HTML support, something previously only supported on 3rd edition devices.

You’ll need to point your mobile browser to http://email.nokia.com/ and download the 2.2MB file. The latest version is 10.1.0.13 and will automatically replace your previous installation, while still keeping all email accounts and emails.

If you’re having problems installing Nokia Messaging, be sure to check out our tip for getting it up and running.

When I got my Nokia N97, one of the first things I tried setting up was Nokia Messaging. For several days I tried getting it to work, without much luck. Nokia Messaging is an enhanced version of the N97’s regular Email program, that’s why it is recommended to download and use this new program. Devices like the E75 come with it embedded in the ROM.

To setup the application, the user is expected to create a Nokia Messaging account online and than add their various email addresses to that account. This will allow the emails received to be pushed to Nokia Messaging on the N97. Setup on the device is done through a  provisioning SMS that contains a download link. Because this SMS is send from a specific Nokia Messaging account all you need to do is enter your password, while the rest is done automatically.

Problem was that when I received the SMS and installed Nokia Messaging it just didn’t allow me to continue with setup. Pressing the “Start” button didn’t work. Another problem I was encountering was that it started asking me for both my email and password. Doing this would simply created an email account in the built-in email program. A correct installation of Nokia Messaging is supposed to only ask for a password.

After days of trying I finally understood what was causing the problem: Nokia Messaging requires a Pack Data connection for the setup process. Earlier I tried setting up via Wi-Fi which led to many problems. If you’re trying to setup Nokia Messaging just simply use a Packet data connection and setup should be a breeze.

How has your experience been with Nokia Messaging? Did you encounter problems with setup and did this tip help? Let me know.

While studying for my upcoming Criminal law exams, I received an email message from Denirah. The message can be seen below. This coach is starting to think that this particular student might be getting a bit too comfortable with her E75!

How it was done.

I had previously shown Denirah the Geo-tagging capabilities of the E75’s camera and Sports Tracker. All she needed to do is get a GPS lock, fire up Sports Tracker and take her shots along the way. Knowing that her shots were Geo-tagged, when she emailed me the picture I uploaded the shot to Flickr. Flickr is able to read the EXIF data, revealing the exact coordinates of where the image was taken. This can be done by going viewing the “More properties” option in Flickr. In this case the picture was taken at GPS Latitude: 12 deg 7′ 1.00″ N/GPS Longitude: 68 deg 57′ 54.00″ W:

Sports Tracker is also able to export an KML file that can be read by Google Earth, showing me exactly how to get to that beach:

Chalk, way back then, was used to scrawl oversize buffalo on cave walls in what was one of man’s earliest forms of communication. Denirah didn’t start with a chalk, but what was then Nokia’s latest creation.

Down the road of the mobile evolution she got the Nokia 7250 with it’s Purple Xpress on Cover. Until a Copper E75 came a long, she didn’t know she was a QWERTY lover.

A device so small and so thin with a slide-out keyboard too. She described it as one device divided in two.

She expressed her love for the stylish design and color, and how other business devices were like “fruits” and “berries”, simply duller.

But what stood out was the build quality and the materials used. Even the back cover says “Stainless steel,” so no way with other materials it could be confused.

“Normally, I can only read my emails when I’m home”, she said. “But now, even when I’m out and about, not a single email remains unread.”

So when the first Challenge arrived, an email she should create, when the message was send, triumphantly she shouted: “Piece of cake!”

As we wait for the next challenge, Denirah doesn’t worry about the need for a deep pocket, but with a large 1000 mAh battery, she might as well forget the wall socket!
