The video is viewable/watchable but if compare to previous firmare (V11), Real Player in V20 perform below V11 in term of video quality.

I already test playing from 12 am to 5 am. Then play movie for 2 hours. Then normal use (sms and call). Have to recharge during night around 9-10 p.m. So, my answer yes, can last 1 day.

4 hours only? My last V11 can last at least half day if use the same test.

If you don't want your 5800 to be bulky with leather casing or silicon casing, IS is a good choice although the installation I can say need professional level (steady hand, suitable environment etc.).

For me IS is a must and good scratch protector. My kid always play with my phone and put all around my house and no scratch at all. Honestly, my phone ugly but after a long time, I'm getting use to it and can totally ignore them.

No hair scratch but IS surface is not smooth like Skool or any cap ayam SP.

So far, she know not to throw thing. I hope it will stay that way .

If you find someone who are willing to install for you, may be it cost you something. But don't know, may be for pro, they take only an hour to apply.

For me, I can't install corretly the first time so have to reapply several times.

The most important is dust-free environment. Some suggest in bathroom but I think in normal room with no air flow (air-cond) room is enough. Another thing is glove to avoid thumprint and also dust from your hand.

The hardest part is the screen because I can't apply too much liquid. So in my opinion, best to apply back cover first to practice.

I believe, Iphone is much easier to install than our 5800 due to it design.

Our 5800 design is different from Iphone. Iphone screen is flat while our 5800 has cover around it. So it is much harder to install IS (full body) on 5800 than Iphone.

If not because of the hard to install part, I surely recommend IS.

IMHO, IS is the best SP (not full body) you can get it term of it scratch proof properties. If you can get lower price (RM30), it is a good bargain.

For full body, I can't really recommend it as I don't like the design specially the front cover. IS is not covering the front cover corner and it make my phone ugly.

Please visit my blog here.

Ha..ha.. I also wonder if Skool is a brand or cap ayam brand. Previously my SP is super guard something and it also had smoother surface than IS. May be because ayam brand is hard plastic while IS is more plastic.

With current currency exchange, it consider cheap if with installation.

Yup it look rough, but in real life it not that bad.

I also don't like silicon and also the see through plastic as it make my phone bulky. However, leather casing still a must. It easier for me to take out the phone from leather casing than my pocket.

I heard there is a service to skin your phone and the quality is good and if you are a careful person, why not try the skin method. For me, because of my kid, I have to use a very good scratch proof protection so I end up with IS. Before, I always make sure to put my phone on soft surface like cloth or cushion and always put at high place so my kid can't reach it. Now, I don't have problem giving her to watch cartoon on my tube.

RM60.

It all depend on individual. IS is not perfect. So some can accept the cons, and some can't.

As, I'm a simple guy, I can accept the cons and live with it. Already paid RM60, why waste it. I don't really care the look as long it functioning.

Like echo.garden suggested, another option is to use cheap SP and buy good quality leather casing. Or IS SP with leather casing. You can refer to FP for some of the option. He already summarized it in good way.

Now, my setting almost as him with IS + leather casing without the cap ayam SP.

For skinning, I have no idea. But compare to IS and cap ayam SP, my phone has better response with IS.

I not even dream about buying Omnia HD, out of my reach. 5800 is already above my usual phone price.

Still search for good bluetooth stereo earphone.

In v00.20, my garmin crashed when play run simultaneously with music player. So, I never try it again after that. Don't know about v00.30.
