Hi bros thinking of getting this phone. For those who already own it, is it backwards compatible?

I used to play a lot of games and use a lot of applications on my old N95 (S60v3). Can the 5800 support S60v3 games and apps? Cos now got very few S60v5 games and apps...

I think they got backward compatibility!!!
Can run some (s60v3) app + games. It gives u a virtual d-pad button and few extra keys. Just forgot where i read it.
Anyways should call the 5800 owners to test it. Since there are alot here!

Ok. nod.gif Bumping my question up again, those who already have the phone, please try to answer my question cos it's quite an important factor in deciding whether I get this phone or not. I really need some of the S60v3 apps and there are hardly any S60v5 games now. Thanks. icon_question.gif

camera wise, is n95 8gb much better than 5800?

there's a dull colour effect because of the lens cover on the 5800...

Definitely better. Although the 5800 has a 3.2 MP camera, the sensor is quite lousy (I guess they couldn't put a good one on for the price they're selling the phone at) compared to the N95 camera, which has picture quality close to that of standalone digital cameras. In fact I sold my sony digital cam since my N95 took such good pictures.

I saw some 5800 cam pics on review sites. Most of the pictures taken indoors are very noisy or grainy. The pictures taken outdoors are alright but complex details (text, facial features, patterns) are blurred.

i've answered that similar question.

yes yes yes, Nokia 5800 supports both S60v3 & of course, S60v5.

i've tested it biggrin.gif

it will support but it won't look good and a waste of screen size.

Thanks guys now I'm really hyped for the phone. Looks don't matter; I just need the apps/games to function. smile.gif

Those people who already have the phone can take up-close shots of it please? rclxms.gif Those pictures of the phone on the internet are all touched up and those on review sites are the pre-production models. I won't be buying this until the official release so now I can only drool at the pictures now.. sweat.gif

When you reset does it reformat back to the original factory firmware 1.0 or the latest firmware that you last upgraded to (say 1.1)?
