Sorry, I was busy with work and testing my Booklet thoroughly (it shows some “glitches”), I can not agree more that the Nokia support for the Booklet is sub-standard: http://rene.rebe.name/2009-11-06/hardware-error-miscompares-on-nokia-booklet-3g/

This is my first Nokia product purchased, so I have no idea if they always have such unreasonable support, …

Thanks for looking. Nokia also has a special ACPI driver which is missing from my system now (driverless device shown in the device manager). My HD is clicking a lot when it parks the head. Maybe that driver would help.

Can you please find out what the Bluetooth driver (the one from CSR) is called. I remember it was version 5.something. I’ll try to find at least that one on the net.

Unbelievable weak support by Nokia. Nokia is probably the only PC manufacturer that doesn’t support drivers for its own products.

I only spotted the regular drivers (3G, GPS, HD audio, etc.) in the c:/Program files/ directory. Personally I did not (yet) care about this “flight-mode” or HD shock control. The “volume control” would be nice, though, indeed I’ll have to check if I can find them. But I think there are no installers left in the image for those, maybe some pre-installed DLLs in c:/Windows/… whereeve?

Hi René,

I got informed by Nokia that they don’t intend to support the Booklet in regard to drivers. I formated it to install Windows 7 Pro and therefore don’t have the Nokia drivers which came with it (flight-mode, hd shock protection, volumecontrol etc.) anymore. Can you extract these drivers from the image you took?

Thanks a lot
