By the way, I got 2 choices, either Viewt or 5800, and I really love 5800..but due to many complaints of 5800's hardware and software problems, I might get a Viewty. Any advice from all gurus? I am really not confident as I worry I will buy a 5800 that is full of problems ( and I hate keep sending phone back to NCC to repair or watsoever), and it is hard to determine if the 5800 is a second batch one. Thanks for all your advices.

to determine the second batch..you can look for its firmware..usually the second batch hp is has latest firmware..

anyway..betwwen LG Viewty and 5800XM..

if you camera freak..better go for LG viewty..

but for overall package.. 5800XM is better...

I think now it's ok and time to get Nokia 5800XM. Already less complain by users.

The only bad thing about Nokia 5800 is the camera, otherwise it's a good phone. You'll enjoy it.

I love my 5800 XM i do not have a single problem u all mention till this very day. Only thing i dislike is the camera overall its perfect. if you ask me switch to Viewty it would be over my dead body haha jk

thank you all

i would never trade my 5800 XM for a viewty. Even u trade with me i will only love my tube.

By pressing *#92702689# - it takes you to a secret menu where you may find some of the information below:
1. Displays Serial Number.
2. Displays the Month and Year of Manufacture
3. Displays (if there) the date where the phone was purchased (MMYY)
4. Displays the date of the last repair - if found (0000)
5. Shows life timer of phone (time passes since last start)

Is it true you can check the month and year of manufacture? I mean, does it work ok 5800 to check its date of manufacture?

thanks all for your opinions and thoughts. i think i'll settle for the n79 for the better looks, newer model/UI/OS, better keypad (?) and FM transmitter. xenon flash will drain battery like crazy if i'm not mistaken.

xenon flash wont drain the battery like crazy..it is just if u use camera with flash too much time..
anyway try them yourself...b4 buyng the phone

Do u need 120fps video recording or xenon? If not u have no point go for viewty now. That is obsolete and too old model alr. Lousy interface(non smart phone),less function,low memory support,Large screen cant support GPS

5800 many complain? The sale result still in top 3 in nokia list.

Xenon flash drain battery faster but not crazy. It still can snap at least 300 pictures with full charge. Do u snap over 300 picture over a night?

yeah. i guess you guys are right. but i think the dual led as lighting for video mode and as a torchlight (?) is quite good as well. n79 is a newer model (newer OS), battery life a bit better (?) and looks better too (slimmer, wider keypad). plus the fm transmitter damn useful when driving.

i would love to try both the phones out before buying, but i'm currently in Melbourne now for the year. over here these 2 phones cannot find AT ALL in shops. haha. or maybe i just don't know where to look. planning to buy on eBay or ask my friend in msia to buy for me. hmmm

we face same problem for choosing between N79 & N82..But i thnk i ll go for N79,
for same reason u state..

giv a fast review at N79 forum if u buy one..

haha sure. i'd be super happy to.

issit i no complain about my tube. I am just in love with it 5800 XM

N95 8GB WITH N96 16GB,
which one better?

n96 better:

16gb internal (n95 only 8gb)
faster data transfer via usb
dual led flash (n95 just one)
better looking imo
tv tuner (altho m'sia doesn't work)
memory card support (n95 doesn't have)
kick stand to view videos

n95 better:

battery life better (a lot better)
some say better keypad
camera module slightly better (yes I kno both 5mp)
dedicated graphics chip and faster processor
apparently gps performance better

HOW ABOUT AUDIO SPEAKER SOUND,
WHITH ONE BETTER?

n95 8gb

tell me n81 8gb worth to buy or not?
