CP1255 had the same issue as not specifying a codepage at all, that is
why I wanted to try iso8859-8. Unless I've got the fstab line wrong:
UUID=6165-6564 /mnt/nokia vfat
codepage=cp1255,iocharset=utf8,utf8,noauto,user,rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,flush,uid=feisty,shortname=lower
0 0

(note: 'feisty' is the username)
