i have nokia 6303i classic and hav instaled opera mini browser and it doesnt wora or any other browser that i have installed!could anybody tell me why is that so!
this brand is a pain in the butt. i have one and it was only after a year and a month then it starts having a software programming problem, the first time i have it fix it seemed okey for the first 15 days or so and then i have to go back to the repairman and then they have to have it for 3 days for observation… i thought it was simply a built in web problem so i no longer touch that portion when i used the cellphone..but the last time it failed on me, i was reading a jar book in my memory card.
the phone i purchase was made in china which i suspect is part of the reason why my nokia 6303 classic doesnt work
here is what happens when it goes off – the screen faded into a black screen. and then when u turn it on, it shows up with the nokia brand name and it does a slow fade again, repeated powering it on , results to a black screen after the nokia name
