I can’t watch the movie on my N96!

Well, it’s not mine, but you get the point. The N96 comes with the movie Transformers, and when I click on it, it says “File is locked!”.  The icon of the movie shows a key on the left bottom side. The details show the following:

“Status: Activation key expired

Content sending: Not allowed”

Does this mean that I can’t watch it? Well, I did a search, and found out that whoever resetted the device might have deleted the licence. I changed the date just to see if it worked, but it still doesn’t work.

I will have to contact Nokia’s PR agency in South Africa to let me know how I can solve the issue. Here are the screenshots:

    You’ll have to contact Nokia directly, or maybe try to find the answer at the forum: http://nokian96.net/forum

    You’ll have to complain to the online support. If you can’t manage anything, I’ll take it up to Public Relations

    Don`t waste your time… Just saw the movie on the phone and hated it…

    To make thinks worst the phone came with the movie in a version translated to Portuguese, it would be much better if it had subtitles. Brazilian cinema and DVD rental stores know that almost everybody hates translated films. On the cinemas they display them only on sessions targeted for children.

    Can’t understand why nokia decided to include it this way on their phones…
