You can purchase it......it's not freeware.

Please refrain in asking for hacks or warez. This is not the place to do that. Do some Googling yourself and research. You can also check out the previous versions of this thread.

Garmin has not issued an official update to support S60v5, again do some research and you will find instructions on how best to get Garmin XT working on the 5800. See earlier versions of this thread too. There were instructions given and explanations too if I remember correctly.

Or if you truly are lazy, try this website: http://mytechnews.info

I think those 2 sw are the ones I would put at the top of my list too. I'm very curious about all the hype over Myphone....the 5800 is a different beast altogether but here we are trying to emulate the iPhone...It's like having a Perodua MyVi and then changing the badge and looks to make it look like the Toyota equivalent. Want an iPhone, get the iPhone, that's my opinion anyway.

Instead we should be rooting for S60v5 to garner enough interest worldwide so that we get better software for our 5800.

Well there are very discerning users here and some will be willing to pay good $$$ for quality screen protectors. I'm not really one of those, I just used the one that was given to me by the seller. Good screen protectors though should have these characteristics:

1. Highly scratch resistant over prolonged usage i.e. if you use handwriting as an input method for example, you'd most likely write in the same area of the screen repeatedly. Over time, that area will have scratches.

2. Can be reused and washed. Important as I think overtime the screen protector itself gets "grimy" with oils and stuff that even cleaning with a cloth won't get rid off.

3. Reduces glare and increases visibility.

The above are my criteria, so don't take it as the gospel truth.

Yup, I know am using Garmin already, what I meant is an S60v5 optimised version.

Yes. NCC people will ask you just to leave the phone. Battery, memory card and SIM card you keep, even the battery cover and stylus you keep.

Ooops, this was the reply to the post asking whether he/she should remove whatever when sending phone to NCC.

True but they do not need the memory card for them to repair the earpiece. I sent mine and was asked to remove everything except for the phone itself. I think they do not want to get blamed should anything happen to the memory card. Makes sense to me as we normally have tons of personal stuff stored in the memory card i.e. remember Edison and his lappie?

Yes, for earpiece problem, although I do not see any reason for a memory card or SIM for other problems too as I am sure the NCC fellas have sim and memory cards readilly available for testing. Battery maybe not for all cases, probably make sense to leave the battery if it's a power related issue Anyway let's hope the 5800 major problems stop at the earpiece. Still not happy about the casing fit that allows light leakage though but for now still acceptable.

Agreed, I don't really look at the light leakage anymore too. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the phone even with the minor software glitches every now and then. I use is as a GPS just the other day and was well satisfied (I even bought a car charger for this as GPS drains the battery in no time flat). As for all the other functions, so far so good, no complaints.

I submit to your experience and shall refrain from looking at the defects Anyways, like I said, I'm a very happy 5800 owner

Remember to insist they do it for you ASAP, some owners get conned by NCC fellas saying that it will take 2 days to fix. It's max a 15-30 mins job, so I reckon giving them 1 -2 hrs to fix it is more than enough time. Good luck!

Durability as in? How well made it is? Or it's feature set?

If it's on how well made it is, check this crazy Russian test: http://www.tube5800.com/crash-test-videos-...-hell-survived/

Amazing the things people do to test stuff, I would never have thought of doing it!

Really? Can it be removed by some plastic polish or such? Lucky I only used it for a couple of days and decided it was not worth the effort of removing the phone in and out of the pouch. Too cumbersome when trying to answer calls with only one hand free! Hmm....if that is the case maybe this should be posted up in the FP to warn other users too.

Dun worry, just ignore it like the light leakage problem, after a while you won't really care. I know you sakit hati now but trust me, ignoring it works. I'm also waiting for 5800 casing to be available in time, so can change. Until then, using your cap ayam waist pouch is better than me, I just chuck the phone in my pocket!

Free to try, buy to keep.

How much is it? I heard that after some time the shield changes to a "yellowish" colour and also very susah to put on, true or not?

Then you're one of the lucky ones. The earpiece problem is described in the FP. Basically when you receive a call, you will hear the person's voice going soft and then loud or vice versa. It's due to the contact points that are not touching the circuit board points securely or in simple terms loose contacts. It's an easily fixed problem that you can either DIY (instructions in FP) or send to NCC.

I think if you took the trouble to read our posts from V1 till now or even the FP, you would know that the RRP is RM1499 and that most of us managed to get it in the range of RM13XX to RM14XX, excluding those early buyers and also those "special" ones that manage to get it cheaper still. Cheers

Hmmm...just get problem with SMS again. I set to use memory card and once in a while when I receive message I get error saying cannot access memory card, so default back to phone memory. I was trying to access Maxis site using 3G and when I waited too long for access, I terminate the internet, at the same time I get SMS....could that be the reason? Another thing I observed, at that time 3G connection was lost and phone auto switched to GSM. Curious. Anyone else encounter this issue?

Added on January 29, 2009, 2:31 pmYes I think that's what is meant. Celcom (Blue Cube) is like 1399 with bluetooth headset thrown in. It was in the papers.

From what I read it takes patience to get it done right. Also some users claim that the shield gets discolored over time but of course the lifetime warranty helps in cases like this.
