   Reviewing 7.1.30.9 (Jul 2, 2009)

   Stupid Nokia music module still won't connect to Nokia server at least with my n85 & firewall disabled. Last good version for me was way back at v6. There's complaints about the version seven's all over the Net. What a way to alienate customers.

   Reviewing 7.1.18.0 Beta (Dec 8, 2008)

   Beta 18 is the worst yet. It demands to update my E62 to add support for "new features", and the phone spits out an an "update error" when I try. Considering that this is the ONLY smartphone Nokia has released on a US carrier for over two years, you'd think they could make it work correctly with their own software - sigh. I hear b19 is out but I can't find it anywhere.

   Reviewing 7.1.16.0 Beta (Nov 12, 2008)

   I missed writing a review for beta 15 ...
   
   * This pile of bloat just keeps on coming doesn't it ?
   * The messages problem is still there in beta 15, cannot delete messages.
   
   I really hope they separate the 32 and 64 bit version. 60 MB is no fun to download !!! :(

   Reviewing 7.1.16.0 Beta (Nov 11, 2008)

   XX.14 was flaky, the main interface stopped showing any text after a few days of use. xx.15 was utterly non-functional..tried installing several times and it hung the system consistently. Downloading xx.16 right now, praying its a step forward. While 7.xx was a definate improvement over the last release, a few tweaks would make this a much more functional application:
   
   * Please oh PLEASE, Nokia, enable Windows theme support for all parts of the Suite, or release an SDK for skinners. That awful Vista-like interface is hard on the eyes.
   * When the PC Suite interface is invoked it usually says its updating messages, but it rarely does so. You nearly always have to click the yellow envelope button to force an update.
   * In the Message Centre it would be REALLY nice if contacts could be displayed as "last name, first name". I guarantee if you asked them, 90% of users would want this to be the default. Why should I have to use a search window every time I want to find somebody? Just let me organize my list in a normal fashion! (And that goes for every email program out there).
   
   xx.14 issues:
   
   * Messages: BROKEN. Every time I try to send to a recipient, which worked fine under xx.12, it kicks back a "bad address" error or something to that effect. Even manually entering phone numbers doesn't help.
   * Main interface stopped showing any text after a few days of use. All the graphic and animation elements were present, but not a character would show up. Tried rebooting and everything.
