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

ok thanks. I'm just going to wait for the official release of v40 for nam. I don't want to mess anything up.
Does anyone know why my server profile settings disappeared after my last update? Why aren't those settings automatically on the phone?
 
most people say the opposite, that the 5800 is snappier than the n97. the 5800 certainly was faster than the n97 in all those browser speed tests AAS did. 5800 and n86 both were faster than the n97 on pretty much all 10 sites tested.

most say that 5800 has had more firmware updates and is more stable and slightly faster than the n97, particularly since it does not have any widgets to worry about. that was my experience when playing with the n97's.
 
Lol i had the same problem as you guys. But i just figured out what to do right now so i could get on here to browse lol

Anyways, what i did was go to the settings wizard and just run the operator setup. check everything. Then exit and everything shoukd work fine. No need for hard reset. This is the same procedure i do when my facebook messes up the connection on the n97.
 
i had mine a week and my sim was back in my n85 in 2 days i do switch to try and like the 5800 but n85 is the main device for sure.
 
not on this phone. but on my n95 it did that. for me it was due to the sim card. i guess taking it out and switching phones too often is bad for the sim lol
 
Carriers always take their time releasing updates. They probably have only a few programmers who actually brand all firmwares for the large numbers of phones they have.

But honestly, carrier branded firmware is almost always useless, and adds nothing other than some carrier logos around the phone.

I bought my phone from a retailer, not a carrier, but if I had carrier branding I'd remove it too.
 
Sounds shady. If you can, get a refund right now.

If you can get me a as detailed of a picture as you can of the main menu with all the icons I can 100% confirm for you whether or not your phone is real or fake. The casing/general hardware is not hard to duplicate because those can be obtained from factories, but every nokia fake has telltale signs that they are clones, such as the fonts, screen resolution, and just the look is off though they seem to be smart enough to put the right icons.

I'm attaching some pictures you can compare the interface on yours with-I'm almost 100% sure that the asian versions of S60v5 phones have the same font as the america/european versions (they're different in s60v3) so if your phone font or layout doesn't look like this, you got a fake:

Is this the keyboard you're talking about in your posts? If so, press the keyboard icon and it'll let you choose between 3 different keyboards.

lastly, you should be able to press the icon with 3 lines (4th softkey on the right of the screen) and have all these options pop up when you're using the camera:

Hope this helps, I'll be watching this thread in case you need anything.
 
Thanks a lot for the response. I'm going to put those settings in. Yes, when I tried to update the firmware last night using the USB cable with the Nokia software updater, it said I had the latest update.

When the Nokia rep. told me I had to call up AT&T or Time Warner to get those server settings, I had to control myself and calmly say this was Nokia's responsibility since it was Nokia's firmware update and not an update from AT&T or TWC. That was the first time I ever called Nokia customer care. Unless I need a phone repair, it will be the last time I call.

My first impressions of the 5800 are that it is wonderful and extremely intuitive and simple to use. Web browsing via operamini beta 5 is a delight. Videos play very well and display a magnificient picture. The accelerometer or sensor works real well on the 5800, in contrast to my N79, which I had to turn off because it was behaving like someone on steroids.

My 60's rock music played well. I had the volume all the way up on videos and it was just right. It certainly wasn't too loud by any stretch of the imagination.

I read a lot of reviews on Newegg and Amazon before I bought the 5800 and many people had a lot of complaints and problems with the touch screen. I find scrolling and operating the touch phone very simple and easy. I wish the phone was as light as my N79, but then again, there's a lot more real estate here.

Dell never sent the TV cable and stand. But I got all the other accessories, including the 8GB memory card. I have a cable from my N79 though.
 
I am hoping for some features such as kinetic scrolling to be added once the n97 is released. Hopefully the 5800 also gets a version of the n97's facebook and bloomberg app.
 
Anyone else had any problems with their phone just turning itself off when you're not doing anything with it? It's happened to me a few times now. If I can't figure out the problem I will have to send it back. I need a phone that is most reliable as a phone. If I have to do that it's very disappointing because there's a lot I like about this phone.
 
If thats the case, there is no way I could use anything BUT qwerty haha!... yes when we say t9 we're talking about predictive text.

You're going to like it, I'm really enjoying the phone so far. If it had a better camera I'd be in complete love.
