HELP - Nokia N70
Discussion
Allow me to save you a lot of hassle and heartache.
Sling the phone in the bin. Without doubt the most useless, unreliable piece of crap of a phone I have ever used. A friend and I had a pair of them, you could count on one finger the amount of times both were working at the same time, and it wasn't just us that had a pair of lemons, almost everyone who has these things complains about them, we had sat nav that never worked, the phones would turn themselves off, white screen of death, lock up solid and just generally refuse to work right down to silly problems like your having.
I do recall having your problem and from memory the solution was to delete all the bluetooth pairings and reset phone, but I had so many issues frankly I can't recall.
He swapped his for a blackberry, I went the other way and swapped to a nokia I think it's called 6300, slim stainless steel business phone. Admittedly it won't run satnav, but then again the n70 used to lock up 5 miles from destination which wasn't very useful, you could guarantee it would pack up just before a junction or turning leaving you stranded and trying to reset it frantically. Utter tripe. I won't buy any N series phone now, they are all riddled with faults.

No the worse was the 7650, the forerunner to the n70, it was a smartphone that would run bugger all, made the n70 look reliable, had battery life that lasted about as long as one of my relationships and to top it all off you needed a small nepalese porter to carry the damned thing around it was so big.
This 6300 (or whatever it is) is however a smashing phone, the best one they have made since the good old 6210/6310 and 6230. Only complaint I have is no flash for camera, but the 6500 is even slimmer and sexier and comnes with flash so will be getting one soon.

My mobile has somehow set itself for use with a headset, the headset symbol is displayed on the standby screen even though my headset is not attached.
How can I change it back to normal handset?
What was the last headset you had connected?How can I change it back to normal handset?
I used to have an N70, and the headset indicator would come on when I had the pop port adaptor plugged into the phone, with no headset connected. Is this the problem?
Have a look in to the phone settings menu, and search for "enhancements" and restore the settings to default, as it may be looking for something there...
Other than that I'm struggling to offer any more assistance
