You wont regret getting the 5800 if you read the front page carefully of this thread about the known defects of the phone and test it properly at the shop before you buy.

Also, there are a few other problems:
1. lcd: you might wanna test it out for the first few days, if it fades/purple, it must be changed
2. firmware is not very stable, might crash but very rarely

All in all nothing comes close to the value and versatility of the phone. Go for it, and for the black one...man if black was available when i bought mine... only if...

To change the vehicles, first go to garmin.com and download new vehicles. Then create a folder called VEHICLE in the garmin folder and put the cars that you want there.

To change the vehicle:

click settings -> settings -> map -> vehicle -> select vehicle you want

to change to metric:

click settings -> settings -> system -> distance/speed

Yeah guys,

I agree with the tube, possibilities... for example... emulating palm os using styletap. Just google and enjoy... have spend many hours tweaking my tube Just back up often if you are gonna be adventurous

garmin online can do that. Install garmin and use garmin online to get weather.

I am sure there are many, but google maps, nokia maps, route 66 is not ready for 5800 yet. But honestly.. ask any veteran tubian.... garmin all the way you won't go wrong. I used to use nuvi and after i got my tube, I sold off my nuvi.

I feel your pain bro. I purchased the IS online for 80 bucks. Put it on, hated it, took it off all within 12 hours. Wasted 80 bucks.. down the drain. Get the capdase soft jacket case. Brilliant

Tried the sexy lady voice from mfm a while back. Make sure the language you pick to substitute works. Cause i picked one and it did not work well. But at the end i ended up going back to the american voice

Hey aspire,

Have you tried the sennheiser cx300 or cx400? How does it compare to the x3i that you have? Thinking of saving money then going for an etymotic earphone. But gotta save for a while.. but heard that the sq is reallly good.

yeah bro,

My friend just got etymotic headphones from the states.. drool.... but very $$$. Maybe later on

All went to sleep already? Me trying to stay up, doing work Listening to music on my tube

think for kill me you need a devcert and power management capabilities.

check pm

not 100% sure, but remember killme needs a lot of capabilities. I signed it using a chinese website but not working now. So need to get devcert now. Signing getting a bit harder.

Yeah same here, have to run killme when i restart the phone. Definitely makes it faster and smoother.

As far as i can recall, for online symbiansigned, there r a bunch of boxes to check when you sign an app. I remember reading somewhere that killme requires power management. If using devcert, no need to bother about rights for the app. Different process.

Btw, what app do you use to sign after you got the devcert? Cause I am getting mine tom, requested from a site, previously signing apps online.

where do i get the symbiansigned offline signing tool?

Bro got a lot of applications that start with the phone, killme is the best app to use to free up memory and speed up the phone.

Haha,

Maybe forumer has a certain look. Was at one stop midlands today, saw a guy with the red tube using the leather capdase case, thought to myself, maybe a forumer

Added on March 24, 2009, 2:21 amUsing mfm 1.5 here, no crashes, make sure to untick avoid u-turns for avoidances.

1. use file manager then go to your memory card and locate garmin folder
2. check for gmapsupp.img (just to double check)
3. open your exe file, next next next several times, then create a gmapsupp.img, click yes and drag straight into your garmin folder in your memory card.
4. start garmin

yes replace it with the new gmapsupp.img that was created using the .exe file from mfm. You can update to 5.00.40 if you know ho to do so. If not just update your map. I am using 5.00.40 and 1.5 mfm working fine.

Need to turn off u-turn avoidance because some forumer said that for mfm 1.5 with that box ticked the map might crash.

Can the map work with the box ticked? I have not tried, just updated the map yesterday
