some sellers even take things out from original sets. usually they will do it if they feel the customer is like waterfish or easy to con.

lol. can we ask any shops to do it for us? that invisible shield seems really good!

actually the adaptive search fails to give the user ease of use. i also turn that feature off too. i hate the fact that there are two pages of alphabets for the first letter at least. sigh.

hehe. it's quite sad that after all the R & D that Nokia did for the adaptive search (first for a phone), then nobody really wants to use it. lol.

hehe.
but actually i think it's pretty cool if the user's phonebook got thousands of names, very easy to look through. and a lot of my friends are WOWed after i show the function to them. but thing is, it really needs to get used to and i cant get used to it. >.<

not really. but if u place the phone on its back on a glass table or a plastic sheet, it can get sticky.

yup. very true. no matter how great it is, it's cheap price makes it a poor man's phone. furthermore, when i go shopping centre like Low Yat Plaza, just pass by most phone shops and sure got customer buying the 5800. talk about common. lol.

Same thing that happened with my n82 last time when I was running Garmin Mobile XT.
Although I haven't tried Garmin on my 5800 yet, but I believe it will be worse than N82 since even now my 5800 hangs/restarts every 1-2 days. Maybe because I'm a heavy user and quite lazy to keep on closing programs after using. lol

i'm curious if they will replace u with the same casing as u r using now.
i just accept the fact that my casing is like that.
maybe it's the design and not a defect.

thanks for the quick review. i was really keen on getting one myself, but since a scratched mirror screen protector will look far worse than a scratched normal screen protector, now i guess i won't anymore.

I think those that complain about the light leakage are really fussy people. lol.
I know mine has light leakage too but it doesn't bother me and hardly noticeable. Although other phones I've used don't have such defects, this is really nothing at all. Now, if the 5800 doesn't have such light leakage but price at RM1.6k due to better build, then i'd rather take the light leakage anytime.

i think the rm6 skool brand is enough already if u just want to protect the screen. If you want to get the invisible shield, make sure u get the full-body one which costs rm60-80 and that will really help.

For the camera, i think better just remove the SP since the flash will illuminate the SP and cause ur photo to be ruined. I have never used any SP for my camera lense in all my phones. I know the 5800 camera lense cover part is exposed, but i think u won't easily scratch it since it is recessed.

I'm not that worried about that as I think it won't scratch. It's just that it takes too long to take out the phone from the pouch when I'm answering calls, and made me miss some calls even.
Now I just left the pouch back in the box.

Using a cloth pouch.

Same here. I'm really starting to give up on this camera. Very sad about it. I think this is the first time Nokia has put a worthless camera sensor into a Carl-Zeiss optics Nokia phone.

let us know how it goes, man. now u r going back to the shop u bought from or going to nokia care centre? i think if u go nokia care centre, u only can get it repaired. but if u go back to the shop, u might get an exchange, which is what u deserve because this seems like a big problem.

Welcome to da club.

actually the iPhone can get boring really fast (i'm an iPhone 3G and 5800 user myself) since the OS is pretty limit such as cannot send/receive files through bluetooth, hassle to use custom ring/message tone, lack of a proper GPS navigation software, etc etc.

i've also seen my fren traded in his iPhone 2G for a 5800 (1-to-1 trade, no top-up). he's very happy with his 5800 now.

but one thing i have to say, the iPhone's camera even though 2MP only, has much less noise than the 5800's 3.2MP carl-zeiss camera.

haha. the iPhone's GPS is good, but the software implementation just isn't there for offline GPS navigation. for navigation, there is only Google Maps and u need an unlimited 3G/Edge plan if u want to use it without blowing a hole in your wallet. lol. so in this case, the 5800 wins, since now Garmin Mobile XT can work on the 5800 with a virtual key software.

yes the bluetooth thing is really dumb. even if the iPhone could send/receive files, i guess cannot even use those music files immediately as ring/sms tones since Apple has made everything to be pirate-proof etc. lol.

i wish for that too. i don't know why Nokia made it blink so darn slowly whilst the E71 blinks very fast and very easy to tell that i've got a missed call/sms.
