Hahaha, thanks man but I'm not the longest if compare to some members here (the last one I heard before was 8 years thumbup.gif ). Well, technology is moving so fast now especially in the mobile world. Sometimes, you feel that you were 'force' to change the phone just to use some of the new features like MMS, GPS, video call, 3G services, etc.

Err guys, mind tell us your experience on the hardware parts. Been receiving too many negative comments about this phone hardware problem. Software problems can be fix with firmware updates but hardware..... rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif .

some 5800 owners figured out that taking off the back cover will greatly increase the quality of the photo
the main problem to cause overall low down is because of the protection mirror/lens on the back cover
what a shame on nokia to produce such low quality material to bring down the camera actual performance
too bad

i saw some few pages back that after removing the cover the picture quality is much much better than with the backcover.

the cover makes the pics look dimmer..less colors

I'm gonna check if there's another cover over the micro camera lens. If there is one, we can consider drilling a small diameter hole on that back cover. I have access to a precision driller in my work place.

so what's making the pic quality bad?

yes of course there's a way to view the original youtube website
1st get into the youtube and it will direct you to the mobile version of it
search through the same page
there will be a link which stated "view desktop version" for you to change to the original youtube
try and c

and you can change the aspect ratio on the real player as well
i dunno how but the function is there

if the website is viewed in normal desktop version, will it lag compared to mobile version of youtube?

why not? It may be a hard choice between N85 and 5800, but for N79 i think u shud take the jump icon_rolleyes.gif
Unless of course u want to retain the prestige of being an NSeries owner... biggrin.gif

Well, right now, I'm using K850i, green color... So, I'm on my way to change phone. First, I really love N85, the specs are too awesome. But, design wise, it's too small imo... and it's too solid and black. And, I don't like slide/flip phone, because I tend to use the slid/flip so often sampai loose... LOL!!

Then, I choose 5800... but it's so hard to downgrade the camera resolution y'all know... like K850i is 5MP with Xenon etc.. but with 5800, it's only has 3.2 MP with LED..

Then I think N79 would be ok, and the design is sooooo cute and I like it so much.. But, the photo produced by the camera is very disappointing.. lotta noise and etc..

So, is it ok for me to jump to 5800 back or wait for N96..

One more question... the Zitron set of this phone will come with memory card in how much capacity??? 4 GB or 8 GB?? Thanks.. fuh.. so many things to tell.. LOL!!!
*
if you don't like flip or sliders so much, then take n82 OR n79. n79 better overall with much better battery life

if you dont mind the slider take n85, oled screen, fm transmitter 5mp camera. -included 8gb card

if you like touchscreen, take 5800. camera just bare minimum in my opinion, 3mp but the 5800 lens cover make the pics taken really dull/less colours -included 8gb card

Its ok bro. Just need to know if they have begin selling the screen protector. I would like to buy one to protect the screen. I am refraining from using the stylus because it scratches. Anyway it doesn't need the stylus because finger works for the first time.  rclxms.gif
No, its fine. If your preferences were imaging and video, I would recommend you LG Renoir too since Pixon M8800 and INNOV8 is very pricey. The LG Renoir is head and shoulders with them. At that price, its a no brainer. However, if you looking outside of all these and want a well-bodied product, the Nokia 5800 is something to consider too.

But its just not there at the moment because of current firmware problems (which should be ironed out shortly). The imaging and videos are super sucks because noise filtering and post processing isn't working (I suspect). Probably because it is a non-N series phone. Lets just see how it turns up.

the camera for the 5800 sucks? hmm.. from what i can see in the previous posts, the lens cover is making the pics really dull / less colours and darker a bit from what i can see...this nobody can fix in firmware..this sucks..

how much lg renoir?
