So my 808 popped up with a message saying that it can't detect my Sim and I need to reboot

So I reboot the phone and... the phone wont load pass the Nokia "connecting people" handshake it just sits there frozen

and I can't force a restart I can only remove the battery and try again but the same thing happens....

Does it start without a sim card and memory card, if any?

[stylinred]

yeah i tried pulling the sim card out and it would fully boot up

shouldnt it boot into offline mode anyway if the sim was dead?

its a new sim too so now that has me wondering -_-

There are lots of problems with this phone which is a great shame. Mine is only stable with the mobile data setting on off. I hope they can find a fix but I fear that Nokia are stalling in admitting there is a problem. I want to keep my phone but fear I may have to return again to Amazon as this is my second phone.

No alternative other than to take device to Nokia Care facility:http://nokia.com/support

Although all data would be erased you could try carrying out three key depressed power on "hard reset" as an emergency measure to restore telephony function to device as a precursor to returning to Care Point, since some essential files required for Nokia Maps & Store would aslo be deleted by this procedure if successful.

Nokia Canada refused to fix it, local phone shop said nothing wrong with hardware, tried to reinstall firmware but got an error code (#12052) which is not fixeable, no reply from nokia help via twitter, no real solution from this forum, no..........really shameful support for a world class phone
