To 5800 owners, do you encounter where by you hv already set the speed dial(#2- #9) and when you press either number and call, the message prompt "Not allowed".

for easy to setup and download any maps. Is best to install Nokia PC suite that compatible with 5800.. The suite offer almost complete package for the phone.

yeayy found my stand...its inside the weird casing haha...any of u guys pasang the casing?

yo of course i remember you.
you're using the same nick in that forum, too, hehe
yup, back in many years ago, that forum is called e-mobile.com.my
founder was Ryan Chong, he is one of the member in lowyat dot net, too (you may search for his nick)

that ABC shop has been relocated to Subang Jaya.
hehe i still keep contact with the ABC shop owner in my msn

ahh i see mikelanding has answered you.

maps/gps is the least feature that i'd use in this phone. hehe so cant comment much.


nope, i have my own nice cloth pouch

Battery life is really good. Mine can last an average of 4 days with bluetooth connected to my headset whenever I am driving. I make short calls everyday and sms-es too. During the night, I would browse on WIFI to my favorite sites to do some new readings. I would say the battery performance is as good as the E71. If you are pairing it with a bluetooth headset, be sure to get one that is Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR compatible. This version has powersave feature. Meaning when no data is sent in between them, bluetooth connection is shutdown to save power. Only when it is triggered, the re-connection will automatically take place. It'll help save a lot of power.

Nope, no using the included case. Its a bit tight and pushing your 5800 in and out is like squeezing it. Don't want to scratch it. But so far the plastic material has been pretty resistant to scratches.

oh i found one great feature on the Nokia 5800

there's a blinking light on the button if you've a missed call or unread message.

Yes, ala E71 style. But I found the frequency of that blinking or fade-in/out light is a bit slow.

some said bcoz of the poor finishing of the cover then some sort like lighting leakage from the right top corner...does it happen on any 5800xm here ???

actually
nokia was bringing tis feature to many phones oredi
my 5610 has it as well
but same the frequency is slow
the most reliable and suitable frequency i found so far is on the 6300
i think all others should take that as an example

Well I would attribute this to the assembly quality (which is typical for materials like this) and the fact that the XpressMusic icon is brightly lit. Some said, if you see this it'll mean you'll be suffering with low/high volume of the speaker when making calls. I don't see why this is related but probably it is an assembly defect.

Anyway, don't worry about the light leakage. Its typical to see it and I am very sure any phones/products made in plastic will see such imperfections.

just found one feature on my 5800, when the alarm rings just flip it over then it will snooze it.same as call just flip over then silence the call. nice feature!

lol cool because of the accelerometer

can share pic? where u bought it...

very slight only, on top right corner.
doesnt bother me much.

ahh my dad is using nokia 6300
the blue light wat the side corner will blink (that's what i like oso)

and yah, the Nokia 5800 blinking frequency is toooo slow.


bought from bazzar stall @ The Curve
Rm7 only i think

was using it with my Nokia E65 previously

the e65 above appear quite a lot in this forum.

Anyone knows how to enlarge/stretch the .jar game screen size? the default screen size is toooooo puny

hi. been using 5800 for two weeks now. Anyone having this problem - high/low volume from speaker when making/receiving calls. I have to press the phone close to ear to get consistent clear sound. mic ok coz people said and i tested using second phone people can hear. but if use loudspeaker ok.

ap is it?
if so then u probably were getting a defected phone from initial release batch
