The Nokia 5800 Express Media (Tube) Thread

I've noticed that happens if the number is associated with more than one person, for example the home number for my mum and dad is the same so when one of them calls from it only the number comes up.

ye this also happens on other nokias. Out of interest is there any reason you don't just have the home number as "home"? - it would prevent the issue occurring for you.
 
Have any of you guys had a problem with the nokia software updater as it can't seem to detect my 5800. Also with the PC Suite it detects the phone but doesn't allow me to backup or sync up anything :(
 
so its arrived early, really pleased with it, apart from fring what apps are people using? im very new to good phones ie my last phone was a n73 and was really slow! so this is snappy and i want to play......
I have the following:

BBC iPlayer
Google Maps
Mobbler
fonefood
Fring
Cricket Headlines (plusmo.com)
Photoflow

:)
 
just got mine today :) ordered on monday got it friday - was expecting a much longer wait! I think the trick is to find out what day they are getting stock and phone them up on that day. I phoned them yesterday and the guy got one sent out.

Edit: am having a bit of trouble using the pc suite and the nokia software updater on vista x64, any tips?

thanks

Happened to me at first. Just reinstall the software and get the latest version from nokia's site. Also make sure all the drivers install correctly when you first plug in the phone.
 
Well chaps after much admiring from afar i finally went out and bought a Nokia 5800 in black (hate the ref and blue trims, looks gash).

What spurred me to go and buy it was the fact my home pc is farked and i havent been able to fix it yet... so i was dedperate for something touch-based with a decent screen that would let me do a bit of surfing and posting, as i am now on it.

First impressions coming from an n82 are largely positive. As an internet, office and media solution this thing blows the n82 out of the water, no doubt about it. Surfing is a joy, the screen rez making reafing webpages a breeze. Both my work and private email are runnng through it and its so convenient im loving it. Im using the stylus 99% of the time simply because its more nimble and accurate than my finger, but from what ive seen so far the screen is pretty responsive.

Downsides vs the n82 are the appalling camera (much worse than n82, eek) and er... Thats it so far. Yet to encounter any major software issues, though ive noticed a minor yet irritating bug where when im entering text it forces the cursor to the ed and wont let me move the cursor back to edit or correct anything without deleting my way back there.

Ad a big symbian fan the os is second nature to me and im loving the touch implementation of everything.

Ill report back on call and music quality etc next week when i get to my work computer... But for now, it looks promising, i cant get over how great it is for emailing and surfin compared to a low rez non-touch phone like the n82. :)
 
ye it is a really nice phone :)

Have you got your email set up to automatically update? I want my email to retrieve just the unread mails every hour, but I can't see how to do it unless it gets ALL the email.
 
does anyone else have the problem where you exit an application (say messaging) using the exit button, then go to task manager and it is still running? It happens to me for all standard apps (messaging, calendar, clock etc.) and it is quite annoying!
 
Has anyone got the black/silver version of the 5800? If so, can someone post some pictures please. The default coour with the red tinge really puts me off the phone.
 
I've just had an issue where all of a sudden my phone stopped recognising my memory card, and then lost all of my mailbox settings. I had to take the mem card out and put it back in again and then re-set up my mailboxes. Very weird. Also had a freeze or two as well... once while on the mailbox screen, and another at a random place.

Needs some firmware update lovin still methinks. :D

I have the black... just picture a normal 5800 except with a dark grey strip instead of the blue/red strip. Much more discreet and not as childish. Get it if you have the choice.

So call the contact "Mum and Dad"!?

That would be far too sensible, please don't put ideas into his head.
