Must I have Windows on my computer to update the cellphone? Or is it sufficient with Google Chrome?

You need Windows Computer or Mac computer to be able to sync your phone. Google chrome is a web based OS which does not have the native driver to sync with your phone.

you don't need any computer to update this phone, the phone updates itself by Wi-Fi or data services this phone is a personal computer....

yes, you have to. The unit has to be connected to your computer for the updates. But the updates are very fast.

Yes.You have to install the driver. Plug it into your USB. Then go to Windows update.

As far as I know - no. I am using "Windows phone app for desktop" to connect to PC

No, only Acer can update the operating system. Acer is one of the biggest computer manufacturers & hopefully they'll keep up w the latest (Lollipop) op system

That is correct. If you install Windows 8, you will not be able to avail yourself of the "touch" functions. However, with the installed Windows 7, it's just fine.

I believe there are a number of web-to-phone service providers, Jim. You could try googling 'Web Phone' and get a long list of such service providers. Any of them that operate through your browser should also work through your Chrome Book. Good luck. Oh, and btw - have you tried using your chromebook to do F2F video chatting using Google Hangouts or Google talk? They're Skype work-alikes, although you may come to like them better than Skype. I did.

Hi Deborah, with the latest firmwares upgrades the phone is great, you can install the podcastings and internet radio. the OS now it's stable, also the email client from the e72 it's a lot better than the one of the e71

If your computer has "Windows" (any version) it should recognize your phone as another "drive" and allow you to do routine file maintenance thereon. You don't need any special software.

You can install Chrome, Firefox or any browser of your choice. I find Chrome to be the best for my needs. Function wise it does everything i need it to. It is the Android version obviously and not to be confused with Chrome for PC.

I have no issue getting updates using Win-7. All updating needs to be done using Tom-Tom Home, with the device connected to the computer... and while logged into your account with Tom-Tom.

A computer is not needed but you do need a unlocked cell phone to with sim capability to set up with the local internet provider. When set up is done just remove sim from phone then place in your device. Hope this helps...

Yes it will text you to download it. I just updated to 5.1. Note going to 5.0. It pushes things deeper into thecgoogle ecosystem. I found all my emails combined under gmail. Not a huge deal, but a bit surprising. Nexus is not just a pure android experience, but more of a google/android experience

Who knows ? But it doesn't matter this phone is obsolete. Windows gave up on Windows 6.5 and offers no apps for it. The Windows marketplace for apps is gone, closed, nada. You can use it as a expensive paperweight as far as I am concerned.Windows left everyone with this phone high and dry, I will never use a windows phone again.

Good day, upon receiving the phone, the first thing done was connect it to my PC, and open the Nokia Software Updater for Retail 4.1 program, they scan the phone, and upgrade the operating system to the most recent phone without any problem. My advice is that if you buy a Nokia phone with Windows Phone on your PC download such software, and update your phone before you give use. I hope to help you. Thank you.

The phone will work as good as if you were using a AT&T; sim card. Some pre-installed apps will not work but Windows phone store and its apps will be fully available when you update the phone.
