Nokia 5800 XM NAM(850/1900): Reviews, Issues, Tips, Tricks & Support Thread!!

Sorry, I'm lost. Remember I don't have a 5800. I'm just considering getting one.

I'm waiting to hear if it's stable or buggy before I debrand and flash. No updates here since v21.

Update: helloox2 says people are reporting v40 is unhackable. Definite fail on V40 then. I like my phone hot-rodded the way it is.

Pull the trigger. I've had the phone for about a 5 weeks now and the newness hasn't worn off yet. Only downfall is the battery life. Not on par with the E71.

How do I do that? Under Settings, Personal, Home Screen, E-mail notification I tried setting up a couple of mailboxes with Visibility and Show Message details on. I do not get any notifications in the horizontal bar.

Unfortunately that's somewhat a bug of s60 thats been there forever. There was a sort of hack to do that could hide them, but i don't remember what it is and i don't think it was all that easy.

sir, you are amazing. Thank you! hahah :buddies:

that doesnt change the facts that the iphone still needed to wait for firmware to fix shortcomings.

i'm not even sure i want cap touch anymore - the 5800 screen is too small to use full qwerty on if i can't use my fingernails. Multitouch is ok, but i'd prefer they work on the important stuff that works with resist touch, like kinetic scroll throughout the os. Symbian ^2 can't come soon enough.

No worries Hieu. I have to wait for that repair box to be sent to me so I can send it in :buddies:

Read the first four words of your post and then tell me WHO the jerk is!!!! As for your replys no loss!!!

 

[goalpostcasualty]

Thanks. Got it.

What else is new other than kinetic scrolling and Full screen QWERTY keyboard when tilted?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but when you set up an event in the calendar, you can set a alarm, and than cen be set to any date, so you could potentially set that to a week earlier.

Does Ovi Maps rotate on the 5800?

Any pro's/cons..from what Im gathering..I should leave my beta 5 opera mini. Whatta u think ....Tom

Do we know yet if Symbian ^2 will only be for new phones or if it will be available for the 5800?

 

[Go Rogue]

This is a Rogers branded firmware! I didn't even know they were launching this phone. Strange that they get the update before the generic NAM US code. Regardless, wouldn't touch their firmware... always crippled in some way.

Hopefully the generic isn't far behind.

 

[Roshilarosa]

I bought it on eBay, that's the problem.

 

[Brad and Katie]

Honestly, I don't feel that kinetic scrolling is that useful either, aside from simply looking good. That being said, I still hope the 5800 gets the feature added later.

I seriously considered smashing my 5800 on the ground because of the broken screen issue. Nice youtube video.
