Yup, have been running for weeks without a single problem. During the first few days of ownership, I ran into problem installing incompatible software but after I got things right, it has been 'on air' till now.
I found out that it is 'almost' impossible to brick the phone. I found some procedures to flash the phone in dead or non-operating conditions using Phoenix provided you have the firmware package. The firmwares are distributed by Nokia to its service centers and are available in an installation package. The package will hold the base firmware, configuration for local telcos, etc.
Have yet to try it out

I thought of not wait for Nokia Software Update to update.
i have tried it...using both normal firmware update and brick phone update,,, both working fine...
it's good to know that we can fixed our bricked phone on our own
normally standalone firmware is available on the net much earlier than on NSU.
i would update to new firmware in no time once it is available on on the ne..
no need to wait for NSU:thumbs:

but my heart stopped for a while when nokia 5800 is not available when i want to update from dead phone..if that's the case u have to search the phone using the code "RM-356" for nokia 5800xm
