Can I ask a really n00b question, if you download an update, is it giving you all the previous updates as well, or just whatever is contained in that update?

 

[DIABLO]

All the previous as well. So only need to download the latest firmware.

Aww knippie, bless.

Well I didnt know! I dont ever update a phone once I get it!
Too afraid of breaking it!

 

[Mr Paul]

I got mine last week, and I have all of the things you mentioned above. (my USB lead looks about a metre long) Guess it depends which provider you get the phone from maybe?

Yeah, once the old stock has gone then you'll get the poo box until Nokia gets its arse in gear....

 

[steviec]

Be interested to see what is in mine then, just ordered the Black/Silver one which has shipped today by UPS from Finland so should be full retail box product.

As a general question what is the latest version of Firmware available?

 

[gam3r]

Does anyone think that they will make the touch screen better in the coming updates? I have noticed an improvement in V2, but its still not quite as good as i'd want it to be!

 

[Nick1881]

If you got it from Dial a Phone, others are reporting the 5800 is coming without a Case or spare Stylus from them with the PAYG Deal on O2.

That will be why

So what case should I buy?

 

[Richdog]

The case that comes with it is crap anyway... you have to take it out to use it. The gel ones on Ebay provide full access while its in.

 

[MadMan-JaMeS]

since yesterday mine has been dodgy the battery doesn't connect rigt if you make one dodgy move the phone turns off so i'm going to the t-mobile shop nearby tosee wht they'll do !

V20 iirc

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Does the 5800 have the Comes with Music feature or is this due in the near future?

 

[Mr Paul]

Not as yet.

 

[daven1986]

I find this phone interferes with speakers whereas my old one didn't. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[Vegetarian]

Firmware V21 has been released for some countrys round the world. Its not yet on UK phones but will be coming soon.

Well if I'm on a landline near the 5800 I can hear the "di dididi" thing you hear

Do you know if it actually improves the Gallery software. At the moment its simply unusable with immediate freezing if you have more than around dozen photos in there.

Currently using the new photo browser on the nokia site. Kinetic scrolling and a slick UI. But nothing for videos as of yet.

Heres the link for photo browser

Its very good, I recommend it.
