Congratulations to Ms Pana!

Yeah they should issue a repair program while fixing all current stocks.

Anyway this thread is too fast. So fast more than 10 pages liao...

Actually, what are you thinking anyway? Its a no brainer. The phone is great and the price is right. Seriously I wasn't believing when people say buyers were crowding on stalls selling Nokia 5800. But I was wrong. I was at Atlantis yesterday and I see 4 customers paying their money on this phone. I think the phone has something. But coming from an N82 may be a little hard if you have been satisfied with the photo quality. The Nokia 5800's camera is not too optimistic. It is sufficient but no where N-series.

Yeah agreed. Can check out on N97 but seriously the interface can improve a lot. I mean look at Palm. Everyone was thinking the OS will be dead. But it is dead but has spawn a new one called WebOS. I think it has something.

I thought using night mode will increase the exposure time (by reducing shutter speed) to expose the night shots since its low light. Actually the noise on photo taking has improved on v11. You can check out Pana's shots. But the video quality is the problem here. Video refresh rate is good, resolution is great (nHD) but noise is rubbish.

From the first page, 3 options. The official one or the proper interface is through Nokia Software Updater. But I am not sure if NSU has supported Nokia 5800 yet. It would be great news if it does. Second option (also official) is via the built-in over the air updater on the phone.

The last option can be achieved via 2 ways. First one is to head to NCC to have them update for you. If yours aren't an original one, you either go back to your AP company's service center or pay other shops to do it for you. The second one is do it by yourself. By downloading Phoenix 2008 and the Nokia firmware update package. These can be found on the first page.

Latest firmware version is v11 so if yours are v11, no need to worry about it anymore. v10 users will have to find a way or wait because eventually the updates will reach your phone.

Oh ya, there's also a problem with purple tint on the right side of the screen when you take pictures.

Well Atlantis quoted me RM1330 yesterday. While AP is around RM1280. Essentially zero gap in the price difference between ORI and AP. If RM1250 is indeed real, then its a nice price. I say get it!

You have to use Raysource Download Manager for that. Its a P2P download manager and its quite fast. Average around 80kB/sec.

The maps should go into the Garmin root folder. In other words, x:\Garmin, where x is your driver letter. I assume you have the unlock codes for the maps.

Try to remain still and allow time for it to lock. It typically takes between 1-10minutes in a standstill position to obtain a fix unlike standalone navigation devices which can take less than a minute.

He's right you know. You can't get a fix unless you are in the open or at least near a window. GPS signals are in the microwave range of the entire electromagnetic spectrum and you need reasonable direct line of sight. It will not propagate well in enclosed areas and it will not work if you are in the middle of the city with tall buildings due to reflection and multipaths. Reason is simple, the Nokia 5800's GPS chip like any other phones with GPS is not sensitive enough due to battery consumption considerations.

To improve the satellite thing is subjective. The very first time you attempt a fix it will be slow because your phone has no present data of satellite positions at that moment in time. After that, your phone should keep a log of these data and your time to fix will be reduced. So just wait lor. Best is to give it 5 minutes before starting to use it.

If you are expecting time to fix in the seconds, perhaps you should be looking at real GPS navigation devices. Or you can pair your phone with a bluetooth GPS receiver. I had a Holux which can get a fix in just 40 seconds (cold start).

Just sharing with you all mah. Otherwise people will not understand and say the phone 'char sui' or lousy. Kekekekeke! At least give them justification so they can make adjustments to suit their expectations on the phone.

Nope not me. Kekeke! Just put key, turn the key, shift, release break then drive lor. Unless it is something unique from other cars, then I shall refer to the manual. After that, back it goes into the glove box. But cars like any other consumer electronics are pretty universal so the significance of manual is less.

Actually they don't print manuals now, they provide them in an electronic copy. Save more trees and costs since people don't need the manual anyway. Nokia and some phones have built-in HELP feature on each of the options available in their phones.

Guys besides getting a decent pair of earphones remember to get a quality personal amplifier like iBasso D2 BoA wor...

Cannot believe one lar. Also even if that tells the origin of manufacture it doesn't immediately translate to varying assembly quality. A Nokia is a Nokia which is a Nokia. So just turn a blind eye lar. As long as our phone is great in our own eyes, everything else doesn't matter. Its the personal experience.

Hmm... I think the -1 indicates the variant. For example most of the N95 sold in Asia Pacific were N95-1. Then we have N95-2 which was meant for North American region (if not mistaken). There were reports of N95-3 which has a larger battery and without the camera cover but this isn't the N95 8GB we're seeing here.

Well you have to listen to one of these setup to realize what you have been missing all this while. Yes they are expensive but they will only offer value if you 'value' the improvement in sound quality. One of these IEMs will definitely change your perception in music quality easily.

Yes, that clears it up now. Its the variant indicator for different region. I believe Nokia should come out with something to compete with LG Cookie. A 3G-less version of the Nokia 5800. Its gonna be very competitive. Ooh wait, to go that cheap it has to use s40 but it doesn't have the touch version of s40. Something for the future.

All packages (even AP) should come with 8GB unless the seller decides to remove it from the package.

Yes most of them.

Really? I wonder how does it look like.

You do know that Pana is a beau right?
