google maps needs a constant data connection. disable, then no need to use.

cannot....5800 got no screen saver option like s60v3 phones.

that's where animsprite comes in.

read the first page carefully. especially the things to do when u get your 5800

already got existing one.....no need i think.

reviews state around 4+ hrs of video playback, so its ok.

i use allok for all other input formats, and winmenc for mkv.

allok manages to convert all without jerky playback,but settings not much adjustment allowed. even bitrates more than 2700+ play fine. filesizes are large for superb settings, but no 2-pass encoding allowed. still looking for one that allows....

winmenc converts HD mkv/rm/avi fast and fine, but for some quicktime and mp4 the converted result plays fine on pc, but jerky on 5800.

or try the x-plore 1.30 trial, go menu->tools->messenging.\
select the file->menu->file->delete

I would recommend setting the resolution to 640x360 instead. no point encoding to bigger res than the screen is. Just click the "More" box.

For audio bitrate, for aac audio, 112 will be good enough for video if you're tight for space.

menu->tools->messenging

that depends on your needs....if you just want the video to fill the whole screen, and play with the aspect ratio and stretch it option. you gotta check your japanese dramas' original resolution to determine the optimum settings.

i still prefer to have my video with the original aspect ratio, and not have any stretching. so for 4:3 video, i'll have black bars on the sides, and for 2.35:1 movies i'll have black bars on the top/bottom.

Yup...for some weird videos, the video properties also koyak at times....video appears to be 16:9 during playback, but indicated resolution is 4:3.

To be safe, for widescreen video, (using winmenc) i just choose fit to width, for 4:3 video, i choose fit to height, and it's been pretty much smooth sailing so far.

Still looking for a proper convertor like winmenc that allows multi-threading, cpu priority choice and the various options. Super cannot adjust some options, and the encoding doesn't take advantage of multi-core processors. Allok is just too simplified and doesn't allow bitrate choice.

But nice to note that video bitrate doesn't seem to affect the video playback in 5800....so it's the choice of encoder that matters more.

Added on January 21, 2009, 3:48 pmi'm using winmenc for my mkv conversion...only good for those with AC3 soundtrack. dts sound will go out of sync.

set to highest cpu priority and double multi-threading, i'm getting around 1:1 encoding timing for a 1280x720 mkv.

i can imagine for allok it's gonna take damn long.....since it already takes so long to convert my MGS4 trailers.

Other nokia phones also subjected to the same problems.....in fact, our 5800's player is even more forgiving than the others...used n95 8gb, e61, 6220c, 5700 before...

400x224 you say? like that a bit wasting of the 640x360 nhd resolution isn't it? I usually encode from 1280x720 media.

For those interested to use the built-in IM client in 5800, take a look here.

Tested with MSN and it works fine. Not as pretty as the others, but it's integrated nicely. Just purely for messaging, no fancy stuff.

the gps is free forever...it's the navigation for the nokia maps that's free for 7 days for this phone. Some other models have up to 3 months free.

it's based on mencoder, so it can do multithreading and cpu priority. But the AVC gui doesn't allow 640x360 resolution choice....wasted. And no 2-pass also.

cannot compare. iphone uses the electrical impulses of our skin to sense touch, our 5800 is use pressure detection. iphone much more sensitive and also no need screenlock as only skin can trigger it. Objects push against it won't trigger it like ours.

video bitrate can adjust, but not the video size. Can only select the ones given.

edit : ah...i was following finch!'s advice to choose customized mp4...that one cannot adjust size. The mobile phone mp4 option can adjust size.

hahaha...but we don't like using stylus and plectrum anyway.

so given choice between 5800 with capacitive or resistive screen, which one would you choose?

if you want faster video conversion, check the options. process priority to realtime and multi thread to as many as your cpu can support.
