Lol... Just house-sitting for a while... Anything you guys think I should put on the FrontPage™ to keep people informed (and to keep them from asking the same question over and over again)...

Like I said earlier, was planning of adding Accessories/Software reviews to FP™... Ideas are really appreciated!

my SP oso didnt cut at sensor area. mine working fine, no screen shut off during making calls.
but, is it normal if the phone screen turn to black when we covered the sensor using our finger during making calls?

so what do you want me to do...

I will buy this phone when its RM 800

i believe it will be 6 months later...

according to a poll in phone discussion, more than 50% of the users are suffering from some sort of problem. please tell me this isnt true =P

Nokia ships half a million 5800 XpressMusic handsets in 30 days

If this were coming from any other mouth, we'd definitely second guess it. As it stands, though, it's hard to dispute the words of Nokia's CEO when it comes to matters involving Nokia. Mr. Olli Pekka Kallasvuo stated rather proudly during the firm's Q4 results call that it had shipped just over 500,000 5800 XpressMusic mobiles (better known as the Tube) in just 30 days. That figure becomes even more impressive when you realize that shipments only occurred in select markets, though it should be noted that "units shipped" and "units sold to end users" could indeed be very different things. Still, half a million in just a month ain't too shabby in today's economy, so here's the kudos you're clearly due, Nokia.

So still not enough units to make any software company update their product to support S60v5?

Can garmin xt run well on this 5800?
Will there be any major problem for navigation?

MORNING ALL TUBIANS~~~~

My dad came back yesterday nite with his hunting shotgun and told me he bought nokia 5800. WTF, my dad never told me about it and he bought it for Rm1490. After I told him i can get from my fren for Rm1320, hopefully tat salesman will not get headshot from him.

what does proximity sensor do? i don't understand how it works.
need to learn something here...

The sensor only activates during call, when the sensor does not receive enough light, touch screen will go blackout. It's a nice feature that preventing your face to activate apps during calls.

Some SP are not pre-cut that block the sensor thus will go blackout when the fone rings. Avoid such SP that is blocking the sensor, check first before you invent.

You are so funny   
Even if you receive a call in a dark, when you say "receive" a call, automatically you will put it near to your ear, so what is the problem if the screen turns off??? (your ear don't have an eye anyway  )

   
It will show on the screen.
Your screen will still lid even in a dark place, it will only turn off if something block the sensor (like putting it near your ear)

Sorry my bad.
Of course it use infra red. All proximity sensor is using either infra red or ultrasonic wave but i this case it's infra red 

i dont think so, since they come with 1 years warranty, maybe its ok if they already have ur phone record before, so they can fix it again for free, i dont know, u better check it urself, luckily my tube doesnt give me a problem, serve me well and i love it really much!
