Nokia N97 Tips

This page is a collection of things that I’ve picked up about using the Nokia N97.

Software and Applications

Nokia Messenging always seem to use HSDPA/GPRS data connection only, how to get it to use WLAN?

On my phone, Nokia Messaging was setup by default to use my 3G data access point. I don’t mind it that much anyway because I currently have a generous data quota. But it would still be nice if Nokia Messaging could select an appropriate access point depending on its availability. Well, it can.

1. Start Nokia Messaging application.
2. Go to: Options -> Tools -> Settings -> General -> Service Info -> Access Point.
3. Choose “Default”.

This will tell Nokia Messaging to use the current access point, or choose from the access points from the default Destinations, if there is no active access point.
