Hey ~ pls add me to the owner list biggrin.gif I just got my 5800xm BLACK this week... and still trying to figure out how to fully utilize it ~

Have a question, I have this problem with my phone... the casing is a bit fragile, or rather not solid as I can feel the sides of the screen is not 'completely' locked down to the phone. I can feel minor tick tick sound when press upon the sidebars of the screen, and on the lower right of the touch screen as well... is this a normal situation ?

Normal. The 5800 frame is made of metal and the rest is plastic. Therefore expect "creaks and groans" when you handle it but overall the 5800 is quite tough, some Russians put it through a torture test (Google to see what they did) and the 5800 performed quite well. Don't worry about it, for the cost of the Tube we can't really expect Nokia to give premium quality stuff which they reserve typically for the N-series.

I see ~~ thanks for the reply ~~ was thinking to send it to CareCenter for repair or something.. but maybe will still do for the earpiece fix...

Another question is...the tube is black...dust and fingerprints like to cling on it... any good method to keep it clean and sleaky except for rubberizing it and putting a silicon all over it ?

Depends.....it's truly up to you. Some bought Invisible Shield from Zagg, others silicone case or some other case, and lots just leave it bare. There really is no perfect solution to keep it clean, all touch based phones need lots of cleaning because they have large LCD screens which we use to interact with the phone. Just keep a micro-fibre cloth handy to wipe the smudges. Can't do anything much about dust though.

will do some shopping and scouting on that, thanks for the advise ~~

Get the IS.. it's abit rubberize and not that oily compare to naked... if you'd like to preserve the overall shiny impression... otherwise you can use silicon case... but i do leave the front sp using the conventional 1.. as it glide better..

hmm...IS... must I buy it online from ZAGG or are there any retail shops that I can go to ?

Use the GOOGLE search on the Lowyat.net Forum home page... tag with "WTS" and "Invisible Shield".. you should get something..

Hi all, I have some inquiries on Garmin... I have installed Garmin earlier from my dealers and it was working fine until I decided to do a soft reset

After the soft reset, Garmin was working fine too...but I am unable to select Thailand's map... Previously I was able to view Thailand's map as a selection, but now I do not see it anywhere, but I checked in Map Sets -> Detailed Maps/Built in Maps, Thailand v8.0 EN is in there...

did u delete the basemap from the garmin folder?
*
Nope, still no luck on that...in the Map Sets, the Thailand Maps is shown as Built-in maps and the IMG files in E:\GARMIN folder does not really give me a hint which is the THAILAND IMG file so I just re-copy all IMG files into GARMIN folder after deleting it in E:\GARMIN.

Another question is about fring...apparently, fring merges my MSN contacts with my phonebook contacts when operating, and it made the whole list real messy and long... is there anyway for fring to show ONLY my MSN contacts ? or any other recommendations for IM softwares? I tried to use the built in IM application, but it asks for servers details which I am unaware of... I know for yahoo configurations, but unsure of MSNs.

How could i transfer my sms from memory card to phone memory.
Previously, i have chosen save sms to "memory card". However, all the sms is not visible after i choose the option sms save to "phone memory". Is phone memory able to save sms upto maximum 999 as well ?

Any idea ?
thanks

apparently sms storage is near unlimited if u chose to store it into the memory card. When you mention previously, do you mean saving SMS into the SIM Card on a different gadget and now loading it into 5800xm ?
