No John a unlock phone doesn't mean it isn't unbranded phone. A unlocked phone just means it can be used on any GSM cell provider. A unbranded phone means it has the default Nokia firmware without any cell provider customizing.

What you can do is to have someone read the product code in the battery compartment and make note of the first 7 digits of it. It will start with 05. Then when you get this product code! You can do a search on it through google to see what you can find out about that product code. This is probably the easyest way to find out of the phone is branded to a cell provider or not.

Hi Steven and thank you.


I, clearly, agree with your analysis of the software on the phone.

I did not buy the phone from a phone service supplier.
I bought the phone from a UK electronics supplier as an unlocked phone. I am
not clear if that is the same as unbranded.

It sounds like you have the latest version of Talks and the TTS. It also
sounds like you have the latest firmware on your phone. It could be you have
a branded phone from a cell provider? Because I know many people who have
the C5 and do not have any issues like that.

Hello List,

I have just bought a new Nokia C5 phone, unlocked, following a
recommendation.

Today I installed Talks Premium 5.01 on it with ETI 123.

I have registered the phone for a 10 day demo licence.

Talks seems to crash on a frequent basis, long before anything of use can be
done.

For example, I booted the phone up and went into the Talks control panel to
change speeds etc. Once a got out of that it crashed.

It does not seem to matter what I do, it crashes.

I have used the Nokia software updater to check for software. As you may
well all know, the Nokia PC software is not of good accessible quality. It
did ask me if I wanted to re-install. I take this to mean that I have the
current software on the phone.

Any clues on how to make this phone work with Talks please?




Regards, John
