I've been obviously having problems with my new phone, a shiny new 'j-lo' 3g nokia 6630. I've been trying to email pics to flickr directly from the handset.
Take picture, send as an email, and it gets about half way through and then dies.
The nice man at Orange technical support tells me that this is because 'you can't send pictures via email from that phone, only via via MMS'
so I said:
Is this an Orange restriction or a handset issue? He said it was because 'the handset ran Symbian, not Windows'
When I asked why the handset, from within the gallery application, gave me email as an option as well as MMS, and when I chose it, displayed a little paperclip logo, and said my email was 423kb in size, and then took two minutes trying to deliver the said message, he dribbled for a bit and then moved swiftly to terminate the call.
So which is it? Have I got a buggy lemon of a phone that doesn't work as advertised, or have Orange instructed their technical support people to blame Nokia for their customer-insulting walled garden policy?
and if it's the latter, who do I have to talk to, to be allowed to use my phone as I see fit?
UPDATE
I have this working now. seems like it was a network issue earlier, because its working like a dream. So it appears I've much maligned Orange in terms of policy, but nul point for having ignorant lying monkeys doing your technical support.
So far I love this phone.
