Succumbed to buying the Tube after constant poisoning since v2
Loved this phone especially the screen - very bright and beautiful!
Even the stereo speakers were awesome for such tiny size.
My only complaint so far - I wished the camera's indoor shots were better...sometimes, the white balance and the noise can be a letdown. But outdoor shots were good though - no complaints there.

And all you guys are amazing! I find it so hard to keep up with this thread.
Kudos to panasonic88 and those regular posters who have to work overtime to keep the poison running!

Maybe you can check Menu - Settings - Connectivity - Admin. settings - APN Control and see if Connection Restrictions are active/inactive. If active, just deactivate it. Hope that helps.

You're welcome! And my stay here has certainly made me appreciate my Tube even more....keep the poison coming, ok~

Yup, that was my first ever 'counted' post in LYN...the 5800 poison was unstoppable!

Thanks for confirming! Hehe...I know I'm spamming now...ok, shall stop now!

Yup, the screen is plasticky but I still find the colours really sharp and outstanding...colors are definitely brighter and bolder compared to the omnia bcos of its 16 million colours and higher resolution (640 x 360). As for the iPhone which I'm also using as my 2nd phone, the iPhone screen certainly has better sunlight legibility and the 5800's screen loses out here. Just my 2 cents.

Yes, Nokia was certainly aiming for a share of the iPhone market...but it knows it cannot possibly match iPhone's multi-touch technology and responsiveness so soon. Nonetheless, Nokia's first effort is really commendable and at such prices, we are definitely getting value for money.

Yup, I fully agree with your view. Generally the first thing that attracts me to a phone is its screen. And there was no way I was gonna let the Tube pass me by with its Nokia 16 million colours and 640 x 360 screen. I really love the screen of the Tube...and that's coming from an iPhone fan like me.

The iPhone has a better email interface in the sense that HTML emails are displayed properly. The Tube only loads in plain text format.

Haha...yes, u are right. Didn't think of that.
But I guess if one really wants to check and read emails, an s60 device probably not as good as WinMo6 or iPhone

Yup, in Safari, if you click on a youtube link it will not play as Safari doesn't support Flash. That's why the iPhone has a separate Youtube app.
But honestly the Youtube app in the iPhone is really good...I wished the Tube would also have a separate Youtube app.

I just discovered that when I removed the screen protector covering the camera lens, my indoor shots under fluorescent lighting suddenly improved drastically...from something which totally cannot pakai to something which is at least boleh tahan.
Indoor pictures exhibit less noise (but still noisy) and colors more accurate....and all these just by removing the camera screen protector.
I just can't believe that a screen protector can cause so much damage to the camera's image quality.

If you don not want to remove the screen protector covering the camera lens, you can also opt to remove the back cover and try taking indoor shots with the back cover removed. Then compare with the same shot taken with the back cover and screen protector on.
In my case it made a huge difference.

yup, same here....even moderate usage gives me only 24-36 hrs battery life. So everyday kena charge...iPhone's battery life also equally bad.

I'm still a noobie to this nokia maps as I've been using garmin mobile xt previously. I hope you can clear my confusion...let's say I dun want to purchase the license after 7 days. The only thing that'll be missing is the voice navigation, right? Everything else including routing will still remain, right?

lol...ok, i'll ask u again in 6 days....

The review was quite fair and i agree with most of the points.
I especially agree with the reviewer's conclusion that it is still worth buying despite all those disadvantages.
Nokia knows exactly what they are doing and they are obviously trying to push this product to the masses and get all their feedback so that it can be incorporated in their upcoming N97. Hopefully, when the N97 releases, Nokia will also release a major software update for the 5800.

By the way, I'm also using blue zitron which I bought at the Gardens Nokia and so far no problems.

If you were already connected to a wifi network before you launched nokia maps, then possibly it'll be wifi.
But if you were not, then.....

I wonder who's the 2nd highest poster on this thread...and an extremely helpful forumer as well
