YOU MAY TRY AGAIN AFTER FREEING SOME SPACE ON YOUR CARD[/B] but i have 280mb free space on my memory card.... maps are of size 121mb.... i installed maps of japan (5mb) and they got installed easily.... please help....

hey the problem got solved by formatting my memory card....

^^ Yes, you already have OVI maps application but you dont yet have the actual maps of India. To download that you can use PC suite app. Its around 103 MB in size and using PC suite app it will be painfully slow irrespective of your internet speed.

you are again rite dude.... its just 121 mb and taking more than 1.5 hours.... >

you r again rite man....

I downloaded the 103 MB map of India last week it took me only 20-25 min. I didn't find it to be slow, though it was slower than downloading from say Intel's or Nvidia's website. I use BSNL's DataOne with the Rs.250 pm 1GB limit plan.

Try to find the OVI India maps from some alternate location rather than downloading from the PC/Ovi suite. In that way you will be able to leverage your entire bandwidth for maps download without the bottleneck caused by the Ovi/PC suite.

I guess you can try this for direct download of India OVI maps

~snipped~

i downloaded the maps on the same day through ovi suite.... although it took me around 3 hrs....

can you please tell me about any office software for my phone which is freeware???? if you have it then can you please mail it to me on my id????

 

[raksrules]

I guess there is no freeware office software. The only one available i guess is quick office. I suggest you search on getjar.com to see if a lite version (freeware) is available or not there. It is also available in ovi store for 10 euros.
Btw you can get the software if you know where to look for
