smash...read this..

this is a prob on most 5800...if not all.. it will probably bug all 5800 users as this happens from the start and sometimes a few weeks after u buy the phone..

http://www.symbian-freak.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27394

afaik the speakerphone volume going low is caused by hardware faults..not software and it cant be fixed by firmware..

some people report then when they push the phone on their ears harder the sound got louder again and when pushed a bit out sound got too low..

man this is making my decision easier.. not to eager to get the 5800..

this a a QC problem and something that just shouldn't happen..

considering other phones..

your guess is probably right.. but if the speaker isn't glued on, the problem WILL happen sooner or later even after you've sent it to a nokia centre because of vibrations and use of touchscreen, unless nokia centres glues the speaker..

i think u have to wait maybe 6 or more months for the 2nd batch of 5800..by that time n97 would probably be available..

and guys remember if you want the 2nd batch of 5800, it will probably come in about 6 or more months..

yeah..u r correct david.. there's a chance that the problem won't be fixed in the 2nd batches of 5800..

and if you're gonna wait that long (maybe 6 months) for the 2nd batch, how do you know and make sure that you are buying a 2nd batch and not the 1st batch?

from what i can see it's not even clipped on..now that worries me..

very nice answer to people that says 2nd batch will be better than 1st batch and so on..

to make a hardware revision in production requires large amounts of money and time, months!! like maybe 6..8 months.. and even if they produced a 2nd batch, it won't guarantee a fix in hardware.

and even if the 2nd batch WITH fixes comes out, how will you know you'll be getting the 2nd batch? what if shops in your area are still selling the 1st batch..

yeah..correct

Added on January 4, 2009, 12:01 pmi did make up my mind to take this..very low ori price and nice screen. i'd be buying it in the 9th or 10th this month because i'll be in kl in about 9-13jan... but after what i've seen in this forum alone, got scared already to buy it..

n95 8gb not much concerns or problems..as with n85..be real la, i wont end up with any phones? hah haha lawak2

5800 of course i got concerns as it is a touchscreen and nokia only made one or two only before this 5800..

i said i will be buying a phone on the 9th or 10th..no need to be concerned as i have an n81 already and a few other phones

btw i dont need to buy a current model..heck the n95 8gb is a year old model and still it's in my list..

yeah.. and maybe iphone too? i didnt own one but got to used one for some time and for a touchscreen phone this is a wonder..every manufacturer wants to be an iphone-killer..

5800 is not an iphone-killer. maybe n97 can take that title although it's a bit different as it has full physical qwerty keys..

i will wait and see if "kyno" the TS replies about his 5800 speakerphone and whether it is fixed at the nokia centre.. personally i'm not that hyped anymore with 5800..

haha..this i have to agree, apple has made right on iphone. the build quality is very high .. nice to hold in your hand..

we'll see if n97 has a build quality like that of iphone's. i can't say the same for 5800 although it's a sturdy phone, it does have a cheap feeling to it because of the plastic ..iphone metal on the back..

a user that have used a 5800 and iphone will say the same..


but price wise, the 5800 is a very good choice... just need to repair the problems that will come with it.. for people that use a bluetooth headset they may not notice or realise the earpiece speakerphone problem... unless they use the phone itself for talking.

well...afaik the probs won't come directly when u buy it..some will come after a few weeks using it

got a person here that works with nokia care? thats good to hear

somebody in here said won't void warranty cause no stickers at the screws..

now ori price is rm1300!!
